IF NOT A LEAGUE WHAT
SUBSTITUTE?

Mr.. Taft has checked ii up to
the antagonists to propose a bet
ter plan than the League Of Ma
tions for preserving world peace
and thus far profound silence
has reigned ON the part of the
opposition as the reply to this
question. 1t is solemn fact that
the policy of isolation and the
avoidance of "entangling al
liances, which our country has
practiced from the beginning did
not prevent us from being drawn
into the most terrible war in the
history Of mankind and is there
any reason to suppose that the
same thing will not occur again?
In the absence of some such
scheme as a league Of nations.
Mr.. Taft sees the return of the
old system Of alliances in Eu-
rope, with consequent renewal
of hostilitiesl resulting in a more
gigantic war into which America
must inevitably be drawn. Dis
cussing this point the former
president said:
"We shall then go through
the same sad course Of events
which the history of this war re-
cords.
"The heroism of our people
will again be stirred, the best of
our youth will be sent abroad to
fight the battles not only Of the
world, but Of ourselves.
