REED APPEALS TO
 SOUTH TO STAND AGAINST LEAGUE
tcontinued from Page one.)

President Taft and backed largely by in- bankers MT. Reed continued;
 .In part, this propaganda has been illegally paid for out of the moneys Of the United Gtates. Even while the Lio- erty loan drives were on, literature ad- vocating the league, printed at govern ment expense, was furnished to the four minute speakers who were to address audiences. But, outside of the money thus filched from the government, the sum expended has been so enormous as O create wonderment. The source of this stream of gold has been found chiefly to 1e great international bankers and fl- ianciers.
 Tt is now known that serious consid- ration has been given to plan to in ernationalize the worlds debt by refund- unding all national obligations and is-
 iing in lieu thereof, through the me tam of the league of nations, common ond.
 What wonder then that these great .nancial overlords have been actively oncerned in framing the league of na-
 ons that MT Lamont of the banking
 rm of Morgan X Co, should have had
 difficulty in securing complete copy
 the league of nations and of the Ger
 an treaty weeks before the American
 eople or even the United States Senate
 How natural that this copy should pc
 immediately placed in the hands Of MT. ,avison, head of the great Morgan bank

 "I warn American labor that this | scheme of internationalization of labor | was born in the brain of the interna- tional socialists. There is but one danger to America It is in the abandonment O, the policies which made her great. ane the substitution of visions and dreams
