WASHINGTON, Aug l2-Describ-
ing the league OF nations as de
formed experiment upon a noble pur-
pose" Senator Lodge OF Massaohu-
sets, chairman OF the foreign rela-
tons committee and republican leader
OF the sxt,ate, declared in a senate
speech today that there were features
oi the league covenant which "as an
American" he never could accept Gre
ating, no, league of peace but an
alliance embracing many provisions
for war" the covenant in its present
form, he asserted. would kill the Mon
roe doctrine. nulliiy any possibility OF
withdrawal from member ship, impair
the sovereign power OF deciding do
mcstic questions and plunge the
United States into every controversy
and conflict on the fact OF the globe.
Consider America First"
LET US beware he said how we
pal,er with our independence. We
forced our way upward from the days
of the revolution. through q world
often hostile and always indifferent.
We owe no debt to anyone except to
France IN our revolution and those
policies and those rights on which our
power has been founded should never
be lessened or weakened.
II am as anxious as any human be-
ing can be to have the United States
render every possible service to civil
ration nnd the peace Of mankind bur,
| am certain We can do il best by not
putting ourselves in leading strings
OF subjecting our policies and our
sovereignty to other nations
Il can never be anything else but
an American and | must think Of the
United States first. and when ! think
OF the United States first in an ar
rangement like this. | am thinking OF
wha, is best for the world. for il the
| United States fails the best hopes Of
mankind fail with il. have never
had bu, one allegiance cannot di-
vide il now
Worlds Hope In U. S.
"The United States is the worlds
bes, hope, but il you fetter her in the
interests and quarrels OF other ma
,ions; il you tanRle her in the in
trigues OF Europe, you will destroy
her power for good and endanger her
very existence.
I'VE are told that we shall break
the heart OF the world il we do nos
take this league as |, stands fear
that the hearts Of the vast majority OF
mankind would bea, on strongly and
steadily and without any quickening II

lie awake in sorrow for single night
