TAFT CALLS ENEMIES OF
LEAGUE SMALL AMERICANS"


CHARACTERIZING as "Small Am
orleans" members of the United States
Senate who are opposing the covenant
for a league of nations, former Presi-
dent William H. Taft made an especial
appeal Thursday to the women of the
Pacific Coast to bring their influence
to bear on the eSnate in behalf of rati-
fication of the league. Taft was The
guest at a luncheon given him by the
San Francisco Center, a woman's or
~ganization.
Certain small Americans on the
floor of the United States Senate pro-
fess to see dire danger and eventual
disaster to the country if we enter into
the League of Nations, agreed upon at
the Paris peace table," said Taft.
81 do not use the term small Amer
leans in an insidious sense, but to
imply that these gentlemen have a
small view of America the provincial
selfish view that the highest duty of
America is to preserve a safe, comfor-
table, luxurious prosperity for our own
people, beyond which we have no other
responsibility toward the rest of the
world.
"While the statesmen and people of
the entire world are unanimous in the
certain belief that unless the machi-
merry of such a league is set in motion
war more terrible and far reaching
than the one which we have just en-
dured will sweep the world in ten or
twenty years, the discord in the con-
cert is heard in the voice of small
America from certain small-visioned
men who have been elevated to the I'm
tied States Senate"

SPEAKING of a lasting and fitting
memorial of our soldiers for their SER
vice to the nation, why not expend
the money in making a fine road which
would be dedicated to them. The
money could be more easily raised and
two purposes could be accomplished
thereby. Such a road would be an
ever present reminder of the great
