"Nations Must Have Friends"

TO the Editor, of the Erening Public
Ledger:
Sir-I am in favor Of league of
nations. One reason Is I would not
pit my inf1nitesimal brain against the
wisdom and opportunity Of our President.
I quote from Mr.. Weingartner's letter,
Il approve Of anything to stop war. but
not Of the present idea. America should
stand alone.' This man is short
sigh ed. Could America stand alone
against such a combination as struck
Germany. which failed to stand alone
with eight million men?
Mr.. Norton, of H!ghtstown, also dis
plays a narrowness of vision, when he
says, "Our boys will have to 60 over
seas again and fight, not our own bat
ties, but some one else's battles" His
short vision will not let him conceive
that our boys might have to remain in
their own country and fight their own
battles.
Nations as we'll as individuals must
have friends, true friends, humane
friends. WILLIAM P. CURL.

Sir-The formation of a league of

pertinent I am an advocate of all true
reforms, and hope that those having
the formation of this league in charge
will be graced with wisdom, tact and
foresight to keep us within our rights.
There seems to be dread for fear that
some disadvantage will ultimately over
take us. especially if finally every ma

an equal footing, for it seems unfair
to form league Of nations and not

he has undertaken.
The thirty-seven Senators will do as
they always do. fume and fuss around
and then vote for it. The average
Senator is looked upon as small pota-
to and one in hill, and his opposi-
ton will cut no ice. The Senate will
either ratify it or there will be lot Of
new Senators who will do It.
If the attitude of Lodge. Knox and
