The League of Nations

have been giving the problem of the League
OF Nations considerable thought for long time
and reading about it as much as pro5slble since
the peace conference began its deliberations.
An UnpTejudced discussion Of this subject so
far as I have been able to discover has not been
printed in any newspaper intend to discuss the
matter without bias, pro or con III order that the
readers Of the Press may get what enlightment
am able to give them through series Of ar
tices beginning today.
| am not prepared to say whether the League
of Nations is the solution of the worlds war
problem or not, but in my judgment, it is so i'm
portant proposal that every American should
be giving it thought.
In any discussion-the important thing is to
eliminate the non-esseStias and get down to the
essentials. The n0n-cssontials are many--the
essentials few. The non-essentiala tend to COR
fuse and hide the truth-the essentials when
found, will reveal the truth. Personalities and
partianship feeling must also be eliminated. 1t
does not prove anything for one side TO say that
the advocates of the League of Nations are try
ing to reduce the United States to the status Of
a dominion of the British empire, nor is it argu
ment TO call the opponents of the League pro-
Germans. Nothing is gained by declaring that
the fight against the League is being financed by
muntlOn manufacturers who want more wars
nor On the other hand that the fight in favor Of
the League is being financed by Wall Street
bankers who have loaned immense sums to
European nations and need the League of Ma
tons to assist them in collecting their money
No intelligent person who is in his right mind
will deny our country is today confronted with
a momentous issue in the question of the League
of Nations. From the birth of our country we
have persistentIy followed the policy Of non-in-
reference in European affairs. We have stud
eously avoided 'entanglng foreign alliances"
Under this policy we have grown from the weak
est to the richest and most powerful nation on
earth.
