attract, attention first. because of Mr.,
Roots position ay An international law
yer and statesman, and. second, be-
cause the chairman of the Republican
national committee solicited the views
Of Mr. Root and gave them publicity.
Insofar as the letter from the former
secretary Of state may become the final
Republican position instead of the
divergent expression OF the 80 signers
of the Republican round robin, political
sharps profess to see a decided swing
on the part of the Republicans toward
the league Of nations.
In nutshell, the Republican attitude,
as now revealed by Taft. Lowell, Lodge
and Root, is amend the covenant, and
we will lend our support to the creation
of laegue OF nations.
The big question is, therefore, can.
