THE GREAT DEBATE 8 81

khe United tSates now approaches a
L historic decision. The League Of Ma.
Il lions project compares in importance
only with the great anti slavery debate
that precipi the Civil War, and the
I action of the United States in 1917 in
entering the World War. The pro.
posed league is admittedly a departure
from the traditional American policy
But the action Of this country in send
Ing troops to Europe was also in viola
ton Of all precedents.
Whatever the senators may think,
they will never stand out against q
strong popular sentiment The mass
of the quiet people in, their homes, por-
! Ing over their newspapers by their eve
ming lamps, are the final jury and rati-
Tying power.
.s The League Of Nations question
should be debated in every village.
Speakers for and against the project
should be heard. Every community
must give it's most serious thought to
the question 81 the best means for
/. aVerting war. Is the proposed league
organization the most hopeful sugges-
ton, sor some other form or association,
or no such organization at all?. All
elements of business mems associations,
ministers, labor unions, women's clubs,
should discuss it, express their con-
illusions by resolutions and forward the
same to their senators.
It is a question to be approached
without passion or party spirit. The
world has suffered untold miseries from
war. 1T must give it's most anxious
thought to any proposition advanced as
a means Of averting a renewal Of these
horrors.
