He was amazed that some gentlemen
in responsible positions we're opposed al
together to the ratification of the peace
treaty, for they were opposing liberty

soldirs across the sea when America was
not Imperfect Solely TO bring liberty
to the world. And now these gentlemen,
he cast out with appropriate scorn. are
about to desert the world. Pro-German-
ism was raising its head and Kissing
Pro-Germanism was opposing the rati-
flontion of the treaty because Germany
hopes to ally herself some day with the
United States in another scheme to
dominate the world.
Don't let anybody delude you" he
said, with the pose of being an Amer
lean. If / am an American 1 want to
be an intellectual American"
And he warned them not to mistake
the signs of the times signs that the

Sea thcse people would care Mttle what
happened. Disorder would swamp the
world and America would sink with the
rest of mankind. Rejection of the treaty
would mean world disorder, for the poison
already had spread to America. But he
did not want the correctness OF his view

That would surely come If the treaty
