South Stands Solidly
 Behind MT. Wilson

lWHEN, SENATOR REED visits
 WV Birmingham to speak against the league of nations he will receive la courteous hearing, but the south has already made up it's mind in re- gard to that question and the eminent Missourian will make few, if any, con- verts. e
 In no other part of the country is public sentiment more solidly behind President Wilson and the work he did lat the peace conference. It is not an idolatrous worship of Mir. Wilson as superman who is infallible, but a deep and abiding confidence in his integrity and his high ideals. The southern people believe that MT. Will son and his colleagues at Paris have done the best that was humanly pos sible to bring order out of chaos and to minimize the possibility of war in the future. They may not agree with all the terms of the peace treaty, they may find fault with certain clauses in the league of nations cove nant, but they are nevertheless con- vinced that humanity's hopes are pinned to America and the American people cannot be true to themselves and shirk the sacred responsibilities imposed on them by the war just ended.
 The south is also aware that a speedy ratification of the treaty and the league of nations is necessary to prevent further confusion and enable the world to resume it's normal activi- ties. Ratification is bound to come, sooner or later, and needless delays will merely serve to prolong suffer- ing in Europe and retard the vital work of reconstruction.
