"The League to Enforce Peace" says
Chairman Wishart. needs no justifi-
cation Under our present system OF
government the administration eau
not 30 outside OF certain limits IN
arousing sentiment in favor OF :he
league. To organize favorable opin-
ion and TO direct IL into effective
channels is the work of a voluntary
organization-hence the league to en-
force peace with the Honorable VIM.
II Taft, as president. was organized
with branches I'm a number Of the
states. While the United States sena-
tors are the peoples Representatives
and should possess a certain amount
OF independent action, II is their duty
to express in the senate the judgment
OF a majority of the people in the
states which they represent Al
though no state vote has been taken
II Is safe to say that large majority
OF the people are in favor Of League
OF Nations
IF | were to classify sentiment on
this issue, | would divide the people
into four groups. First a small mum
Der who are opposed to any league,
and, second. large number who
support the league with reservations
Third, still larger number who be,
lieve It the duty OF the senate to rati-
fy the league as 1t stands, without
reservations. And. fourth, the largest
class who have not made the league
subject of close study. but who are in
a general way in favor OF some such
league as It is provided for In the
Peace Covenant.
Il would say that large majority
Of well informed people are In favor
of ratifying the treaty We are re-
ceiving daily. letters from all parts OF
the state heartily endorsing the league
as II stands"
