Taft Thinks
j. s. Senate Will.
Approve Treaty

Albany. y. Y, June Former
President William H. Taft tonight
ended a speech making trip of sew
eral weeks in furtherance of the rat
League of Nations covenant. At a
meeting held her under the auspices
of the League to Enforce Peace,
Of which he is president, Mr.. Taft
said he did not doubt that the great
majority of senators would approve
the league.
Mr.. Taft warned business men es-
pecially ito examine with closest
scrutiny and care" the arguments
against the covenant Of the League
Of Nations and it's inclusion in the
peace treaty. Because, he declared.
if any substantial amendments were
made by the United States Senate
to the treaty and they were not
subsequently ratified by the other
signatories, the United States would
be in a state of war with Germany
while Germany would be at peace
with the other nations and in posi-
ton to trade with them.
The -four great steps Of progress"
occasioned by the league, Mr.. Taft
summarized as follows:
Limitation of arguments; the pro-
vision by which members of the
league undertake to respect and
preserve territorial integrity and
political independence of all it's men,
bers; the clauses in which provision
is made for the settlement of differ
ences between members Of the league
by arbitration or mediation and a
covenant Of the nations not to begin
war until machinery for settling the
differences peacefully shall have
been tried; and "open diplomacy.
This is no partisan question:" Mr..
Taft concluded. " We should be for
or against the League without re-
spect to whether we are Democrats
or Republicans. We should be for
or against the league without re-
gard to whether we think it will
bring credit to our party or to any
man. Personal and partisan consid-
erations o. this kind are reasons
which should have no influence with
us in determining an issue so fate
full in the worlds history and so
likely to affect the future welfare
Of the people Of the United States
and all mankind"
William Church Osborne Of CARR
son presided at the meeting. 9th
er speakers included Herbert n.
Houston and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise
of New York and Miss Helen Var
dick Boswell. president of the Wo-
mems Republican Association.

effective arm Of the service, and l
also appreciate that the regular
army is short of cavalry.
"Therefore I respectfully urge and
recommend that the LIST and I'd
brigades cavalry. National Guard Of
Texas, be called into the Federal
service. l urge that the call include
brigade commanders and brigade
headquarters detachments. so that
the cavalry organization may go in
tact under command of two brigade
commanders. l also suggest mob

arrange personal affairs and such
