There were no spectators, other

Leaving the pier the parade headed
for the downtown district of Boston

guns was fired by two 3-Poundcrs,
manned by coast artillery men from

cheering reached it's highest point

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Opposi-
ton to the league Of nations sis q
personal and political attack on Pres
ident Wilson. made by men who have
nothing to offer in place Of the plan
they assail," Senator Lewis, demo-
cratic whip. declared today in a
speech to the senate, opening the de-
Tense of the league plan.
In reply to the specific objections
raised against the league plan, Lewis
said:
1T is asserted by the opposition
that 1t violates the principle of the
Monroe doctrine which guarantees
the countries of South and Central
America from aggression by Euro
pean countries It was to precent
this very assumption that section ten
LOT the charter pledged all of the gov
|enments in the league TO resist ag-
gression on any state or government.
The words of this section ten are
taken from the spirit Of the resolu-
tion passed by The Hague peace con-
ference in 1907 resolving to preserve
the Monroe doctrine in any treaty of,
for alliance of world nations for world
peace"
Lewis said that the fear Europe
will out-vote America is groundless
since. with the eleven American re-
publics lined UP together the nations
|of this continent could out-vote
Europe nine to five on any American
policy.
Instead OF Great Britain and her
colonies working against the United
States, Lewis said the colonies at
least would vote with this country on
Japanese naturalization or kindred
subjects and England, he asserted,
would not oppose her colonial chill
dren.
'rThe document on it's face refutes
every attack" said Lewis.
Now. l protest against our oppo-
nents assuming to create the politi-
cal issue by crying 'nationalism'

vince the American people that the
spirit of democracy was against ma
