The arting of the Ways

We have arrived AZ one Of the
most critical points In our national
history Two widely divergent ways
lead into the future. one " those
ways must be Chysen. ana upon the
wisdom OF that choice hinges mighty
things. We must either become a
world power, an associate with other
nations, with political interests 10
all parts OF the globe shared by our
co-lcaEucrs, To whom must hc dele
gated powers and rights heretofore
considered As our own, II the league
OF nations as now presented is a'-
ccpted. or we must return 10 uur
ancient policy OF non-interfercnco IN
political affairss outside ho Am"rI-
can continent.
\ lcaEu" Of nations, having Tor Ns
primary object the umlClhio adjust
mout OF international disputes VIII
at this time undoubtedly meet the
approval OF the war weary peoples
Of the world. Such a league would
be welcomed BY the people OF ,hs
country were they assured that 1t
meant no delegation OF their rights
OF self government 20 their Coz
lcagucrs The people OF this country
.
To them the welfare Of their own
country IL paramount and any agree
ment, that In even the slightest. de-
grccsfi,trrfercs with the government
Of Americans by Americans. and for
Americans, will be rejected. The
tree OF liberty planted IN America by
our furcrathrrs and nurtured hy, the
blood OF patriots OF each succeeding
generation, must not be despoilcd
Of "A single branch. our democratic
inNltutons must be kept inviolate,
regardless OF the quarrcis Of Europe,
II this can be done. and n league OF
nations formed with all those rights
occurred 70 us. thcn It is much ~ bc
desired. But before any venture Is
made upon unchartci Nas OF po!iu-
cal policy. the fullcs, and frccst dis
cuss4ion should be invited. and every
opportunity for amendment afforded.
