Now what is the objection to
the League and Treaty? In the
main it is this; that we will be
drawn into every difference and

our soldier boys will be sent over

arises in the affairs of Europe or
Asia or Africa. There isn't a
school boy nor girl in America

WORLD CIVILIZATION
AT STAKE:

This brings us to a considera-
ton of one of the most vital
questions of the day. Millions
of men, women and children in
the war-stricken countries of
Europe are literally starving to
death when America has the
ability and the resources to pro-
vide for them all. But this pro-
vision can only be made when re-
construction of the world has
been undertaken under definite
plan. Although our brave sold
iers achieved a victory in the
war and by their direct contribu-
ton brought the war to a close,
we still do not have peace. Un-
til that peace is accomplished
little headway can be made. Not
only is the civilization of the
world at stake, but the material
welfare of our own country is
vitally affected.
And now let us discuss the
Peace Treaty and the League of
Nations. am going to discuss
it in primer fashion. A techin-
ical discussion was originated
about a year ago in order to con
fuse the public mind. That cov-
enant is simple, and plain and
clear. and the men who contend
that it increases the probability
of American boys going to war,
know better. They know their
statements are false. What as
surance did you give the mother
heart of America when their boys
sailed for the bloody battlefelds
of Europe? Did you tell them
that we were going over to con-
quer domain that we did not
possess; that our boys were to
fight in order to gain a rich cash
indemnity? NO. You simply
said that we are going to destroy
a military autocracy, a war ma
chine, and that we were goinl
to end this war in order to make
wars in the future impossible.
THE boys completed theil
work. While they stood watci
on the Rhine, Germany signed
the treaty with the Allies. Am
erica alone has failed to ratif!
the treaty.
