They are citing the Constitution

Taft. ~ revere. and worship that

League OF Nations is to be defeated
because we can't get a two-thirds
ajority OF our Senate for its ratifi-

old world had caught thu vision, and
any treaty of peace, drawn otherwise
than in the new spirit would be
nothing more, he asserted, than a

present peace, unless guaranteed by
the united forces of the civilized
world, could not stand a generation.
Beyding over the speaker's s. ta6is,
his face set in tense lines and his

President VIII Fight.
Boston, Mass, February a..
President Wilspn will fight at home
as he has fought abroad for League
of Nations. Returning from France,
he had been on American soil no
more than three hours today before
he threw down the gauntlet to those
who distrust the proposed concert of
governments based, he said, on the
American ideals which had won the
war for justice and humanity.
An America confining to her ter
ritories, her conception and purpose
to make men free, he said, would
have to keep her honor "for those
narrow, selfish, provincial purposes
which seem so dear to some minds
that have no sweep beyond their
nearest horizon" 9-..
Before a responsive audience that
filled the biggest auditorium in the
city the president pictured the old
world fighting with stubborn desper y
alton and expecting in the end moth
ing better for the people than they
had known for centuries.
