Not OpDoscd TO League,

II am not opposed to a League OF
Nations, but what I, as an American
citizen, desire with all my heart and
with the full strength of my entire
being is a league of peace. I have
read what purports to be h utter
about his League of Nations; ] have
read what purports to be the utter
Hances of the French m English mem
bers of the conference from which the
covenant emanated, but nothing that
I have read could be said to encour-
g any belief Il at the Wilson
League of Nations will establish a
world peace. Unless this is ccom =
lished the billions of dollars We have
expended, the thousands of lives that
have been lost and the untold sacrt-
fees that we as a nation. "a so will
ingly made, will have been in vain.
We must consider the League of Ma
tions for what it is, rather than for
what the defuddled and deluded hope
1t may be-.
THE Wilson League of Nations does
not provide for everybody's defense.
If it did Great Britain would not be
clinging SO desperately to its fleet;
France would not demand its tremen-
dous army; Italy would not be so deep
ly concerned about the disposal of the
Adriatic littoral and we, in America,
would not be as sensitive as we are
over the Monroe doctrine"

three years made ii apparent that we
cannot accept the visions of the

build with lasting In 1910

dency upon the slogan. He kept us

mine the only persons President Will
