The Rhode Island senator declared
himself unable to agree with the OBJ
jections that the league would create

can constitution He said. however.
that the Monroe doctrine must be
clearly safeguarded and domestic
questions left for national action.
Other Means Have Failed.
The league of nations in its es-
sence is simply an association Of free
nations" he said. The principle OF
international cooperation as the
means by which international peace
can be made secure has never been
tried before. All other means OF pre-
venting war have failed. Not to try
this experiment would leave the world
in the same condition of international
anarchy as it was before the war.
If we believe that it would be dis
honorable to withdraw from Europe

when the whole world is in a turmoil.

American people are convinced that
something must be done to prevent
future wars. The do not want TO
leave the world in its old condition,
and they favor the league Of nations,
based upon international cooperation,
as the best solution Of the problem
I am in favor Of the principles en-
bodied in the league Of nations. This
does not mean that I have reached a
decision that the league should be
ratified in the precise form in which
il is now presented.
There has been much controversy I
over the question whether the league
should not be separated from the
peace treaty. I have always believed
the league to be inseparable from the
peace treaty because the treaty can
not be enforced except through the
league"
