PEACE LEAGUE ASKS
QUICK SETTLEMENT
Wants Senate to Get Together
and Ratify Pact
IS NOT A PARTY QUESTION
Formal Statement Declares Country La
Indignant at Delay, and People
Resent Politics in Senate-Taft
President of Organization.

New York, Nov. 25.-Settlement OF
differences over the peace treaty to
permit it's ratification as soen as pos
Sible after the senate cOnvenes is
urged in statement SSued by the
League TO Enforce Peace at the con-
cluSion of a special meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee
William H. Taft, president of the
league, presided. Among others at
the meeting were: Edward A. Filene,
Henry w. Taft, Herbert S. Houston,
Oscar S. StrauS and Herbert C.. HoOv-
er. The leagues statement follows:
"The defeat of ratification has been
received by the country with surprise
and indignation. The people want
peace. They want peace. and they
want League of Nations to guard
the peace. Whose name it bears,
which party brand it wears, they care
not at all. They longed for and ex-
pected ratification before adjournment
of the senate.
Say It's Not Party Question.
"The making of peace is no more
a party question than was the making
of war. The American people, with
out regard to party, stood behind the
war until the day of victory. With
like unanimity they now stand behind
the treaty.
"Shall the small minority who OPP
pose League of Nations in any form
defeat ratification? Shall 10 senators
decide where Amerca shall stand in
this world crisis? Eighty senators
have shown by their votes that they
favor the great principle of the
League of Nations. The fate Of the
treaty rests in their hands. They
have the votes. They have the power.
Theirs is the responsibility. They must
get together.
'The failure to ratify the peace
treaty has encouraged social unrest
both at home and abroad. Europe
must have supplies or it will face star
yation and anarchy this winter.
