SEN. BORAH INSISTS

IDAHO LAWMAkER DEMANDS
THAT ADOPTION OF coNSTlTU.
TON BE LEFT TO A VOTE or
THE PEOPLE.

Washington, Feb. Whether the
United States is to disregard all the
policies of Washington ana Monroe
and surrender control of its destinies
to the powers of Europe is the sole
question involved in the league Of
nations program, Senator Borah told
the Senate Friday afternoon in a pow
erful speech
Declaring the proposal the most
radical departure ever suggested to
the American nation, Senator Borah
demanded that a referendum vote be
taken before any steps toward max.
1ng the plan effective are adopted.
Shows Doctrines Peril.
The Idaho senator showed by state
ments issued by Lloyd George and
by European statesmen thai the Mon
roe doctrine would be absolutely de-
stroyed by the league of nations pro
gram, He questioned whether the
American people were willing TO EN-.
bark upon such a policy
He declared that the proposition
meant the tearing down Of the wall
of isolation built up by the policies
OF Washington and Monroe and en-
tering upon policy of international
ism"
Senator Borah also paid his re
spects to former President Taft. who
Is the chief spokesman for the league
next to President Wilson himself. He
characterized many of Taft's state.
ments as misleading and said he
was not treSting the American PEG
pie fairly in telling them that the
Monroe doctrine would not he rem
dered innocuous by the league pro
gram.
Tells Amusing Parable.
He recited a parable of the farmer
America" and the statemen. "Wil
liam Howard in which the farmer
was advised by SNilliam Howard" tc
Join his farm to others and surrender
the Independence which had made
him prosperous and self sustaining
The parable greatly amused the Sen
ate.
The speech was one Of the most
uigniiied and scholarly which the Sen
ate had heard since the league Of ma
tons question was first mentioned |
One OF its strongest features was chat
1t was not partisan; there was no |
mention of President Wilson and no
suggestion Of criticism of his policies. |
Aside from the caustic references tt
former President Taft the entire
speech was a presentation OF pure
Americanism as contrasted with the
theory Of internationalism.
Reads Washineton's Speech.
With great effect Senator Borah
read portions of Washing1ons fare
