Subject Needs Much Thought

To the Editor Of the Evenin1 Public
Ledger:
Sir-My vote against the league of
nations has already been recorded. May
I respectfully add the following com
ment:
Before rendering decision for or
against the league Of nations, I think
each ono of us should give the subject
considerable thought. How many of us
have done so before voting one way or
the other? -.,.
The argument that the formation of
q league of nations would prevent war
sounds all right, but would it hold good ?
In my opinion, the ultimate result OF
such a covenant would involve us in
disputes which should Except for our
being member of the league) not con-
Germ us. What is to prevent secret di-
plomacy? 'Twas this deviltry that
brought about the worlds war. Why
should we mako ourselves party to a
pact which would compel US to help
protect the interests of nation whose
dominions are worldwide and therefore
the more likely to foster trouble?
Let us follow the advice of our great
leaders and keep out of entanglng
alliances" JOHN C.. BAILEY

To tho Editor Of tho Evening r,

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public
Ledger:
Sir-Enclosed. find my vote in favor
OF the league OF nations. My reasons
are various, but will try and explain
one which hold of utmost Importance
Immediately after the armistice was
signed all the allied nations put in
their various claims on territory
boundary lines and all other claims.
Somo of these were Just and some a
trif1e selfish and where the nation con-
cerned thought she was justified In
making the claim, some other nation
was against the claim. In this way of
working each nation would be tlisput-
ing their claim and the consequence
would eventually lead to armed hos
tilities. Whereas with q league of
nations where each nations main idea
is to preserve peace, all these claims are
presented to the representatives OF all
nations and they will decide which
claims are just and shall be granted
and which are not.A II 1t were not for
this tribunal such questions as Japanese
immigration, 1taly's dispute with the
Jugo-Slavs and the sending of food into
Germany and the lifting Of the German
blockade would all lead TO hostile dis
pute.
IL was therefore necessary to form
this league at once and also to have 1t
in the peace treaty so as to assure
harmony after the treaty is signed. I
also think it is of vital Importance for
the United States to enter this league
of nations for this reason: ....t
Any Individual knows when he joins
any association or organization. where
it Is necessary for him to exact some
guarantee, he first finds out who is in
tile organization. Suppose he finds out
that a man like Governor Sproul is also
in this society, backing it with all his
might, clean-cut, honest, law-abiding
and forceful citizen. he Immediately
feels safe in entering.
The United States will act In the same
capacity. The nations are now con-
vinced that the United States is clean
cut, upright, honest, law-abiding and
willing to sacrifice everything for her
ideals, and every one knows no nation on
earth has the money, men and moral
power of the dear old U. S. A. So you
see with such nation in the league,
as a guarantee, all nations will feel safe
and will get together willingly without
selfish ideas and plan for unending
peace and democracy.

League Too Mild
TO ttc Editor Of the Eveatng Public
Leduer.

TO The Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger:
Sir-Registering mine AYE" Any
thing that aims at the prevention of
war, the arch enemy of Life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness deserves at
least fair trial.
So let's pitch In and forget the 1920
presidential election and make the world
safe for democracy.
Alst. speaking of "cntangling al
liances," with II million United States
citizens in France, 1t strikes me we're
pretty badly tangled up already.
And, incidentally, our splendid isola-
ton didn't amount TO so much when
Bill Kaiser got running wild.
My objection is that the league Is too
mild.
But suppose it's the best our Presi-
dent could wiring out of them over there
