port Cox and League OF Nations.
81 nm In favor OF tho league as 1t
stands or with reservations" Col
whittlesey said. Il don't think that
this or any other country can stop the
ultimate operation OF the league an6
think the sooner wo set into II tho
better II will be for for tho world. For
that reason \ am going to vote with
the party that wants tho League OF
Nations now"
Col. Whittiesey probably saw as
much fighting as any other American
In France. Military decorations testi-
~ as to how hard he fought 80 he may
bo considered an expert on tho mat
tor OF war when no says that ''almost
any price is not too great to pay to
stop H."
"oLposItion to the league is simply
the manifestation Of reactlonary
spIrit with which every great move-
ment in history has had to contend
said Col. whttiesey.. II am not
by Article X. I am not
afraid OF internationalism the boyle
of those who oppose the league. We
are already international and there is
no way 20 help 1t even IL we wanted
to. Our obligations to tho world are
already fixed and we cannot avoid
them. We may resist forward move
