TAFT'S ENDORSEMENT
OF LEAGUE TO CHECK
SENATE'S CRITICISMS
Presidents Plea to Curb Argument
Until His Explanation Proves
Most Effective Muzzle.

: Washington, Feb. 17.-Ex- -Presi-
dent Taft's endorsement of the
league Of nations constitution was
regarded here today as likely to
have considerable weight with Re-
publican senator's. The main point
Of difference here was as to
whether the covenant will cause
surrender Of some of Americas
sovereignty. While some contend
ed that the league constitution
tends to infringe upon the United
States constitution there was little
disposition to criticize openly.
The presidents appeal to curb
discussion until he arrives and con-
fides the inwardness of the docu-
ment to foreign committee mem-
bers served to stop much of the
talk. While there was no positive
assurance that discussion of the
league would be entirely stilled in
congress, administration members
were disposed to heed the presi-
dents request, while the Republi-
cans showed a tendency to get the
nations verdict rather thoroughly
before venturing on either approval
or condemnation.

The British are taking similar action

Portland Congress Gives
Wilson Highest Praise for
Success in League Project.
GREAT ADVANCE TOWARD
Permanent PEACE TIME
Has No Fear That Pact Ratified
BY "A Nations Will Be Turn
ed Down BY Upper House in
Congress.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 17-Former
President William Howard Taft today,
in speech. predicted that the senate
would ratify the great covenant of
Paris" He characterized the objec-
tions of some Of its opponents as re
actionary."
"On the whole. we should thank God
that such great advance toward the
suppression of war and the promotion
of permanent peace has been taken as
in the agreement on this constitution"
he declared.
Taft addressed the Northwestern
Congress for League of Nations. 1t
was his first complete statement on
the league of nations constitution.
"ls it possible that feature of
the treaty upon which IA nations.
through their representatives at
Paris, agree, is to be defeated by
the lack of the necessary two
thirds vote in our senate? think
not.," Taft said.
REACTloNARY DOCTRINE.
Regarding the objection of Senator
Poindexter that the constitution mini
mizes the sovereignty of the United
States. Taft said: That is a reac-
tionary doctrine that belongs to the
German view of the state. 1t leads d.
rectly to the proposal that might
makes right"
Taft said in part: when President
Wilson returns to present the result
of his visit to Europe 1t must be that
the American people will welcome him

which he has taken SO prominent u
part,

weary soldiers and workers of our al
lies. These promises were not repudi-
ated by any American when they We're
made. They were echoed in all the
appeals to the American people, and
they found ready response among them
and no protest.
"The nation is thus pledged to the
idea of q league of nations to render
peace permanent. Good faith requires
that what other nations are willing to
undergo to secure the peace of the
world, we should ourselves be willing
to assume. Only now after the war;
after the reaction that the ending of
war brings and after impatience at the
delays in reaching peace conditions, do
we hear on the floor of the senate the
criticisms of a league of nations.
IF uttered during the war, they
would have been out of tune with the
overflowing spirit of the American
people, and their determination to win
