Cardinal Gibbons. In his short talk

visited Gibbons street. named in his

Says President Would Send
Forces Abroad to Back SCI

MANCHESTER, n. a., oct. IA
president Wilson, In a speech at
the Peace Conference, already sub
Ject OF widely published controversy
between him and Senator Spencer.
OF Missouri, declared that II any
covenants OF this settlement are not
observed. the United States will send
her armies and navies 10 see that
they are observed" Senator Borah,
OF Idaho, asserted In an address here
last night He said:
'''rhe controversy between Senator
Spencer and the President has been
interesting, not so much because IL
may illustrate the fallibility OF
memory, but because IL shows how
this League looks when you begin TO
view II in its practical workings.
'"rhe moment you descend from
the opalescent empyrean OF theories
20 the world OF concrete things IL
looks altogether different
@HARsH AND AUroCRATIC.s
$50 long as you confine yourself TO
the League on paper and dwell in the
world OF rhetoric everything seems
well
But whep you get down to the
actual workings OF the League a.
seems harsh md autoerntic and al
together Objectionable. When they
tell us that the League will bring
peace, everybody wants peace and so
fayors the League.
"But when you turn from theory
to fact and see IL obIigntcs us 90 send
our boys across the sea, our army and
cur navy, IL creates an uproar of dis
approval and basteBs explanations
and denisIs. Yet that L. precisely
what the League In its practical
workings means.
There are two things stated in the
speech President Wilson put out as
authoritative which sustain every
charge we have ever made against
this gigantic autocracy based ON force.
The first statement reads as follows:
And back OF that lies the fundament-
al and important fact that when the
decisions are made the allied and as
soicated powers guarantee to main
tain them
How are you going to maintain
them except by sending the army and
the nevy across the sea? We have
first the solemn guarantee of the al
lied and associated powers to maintain
all decisions and all boundaries.
THAT "IORAL OBLIGATION,
"As TO how we are going to do this
Is answered by the President himself
In another place in the same speech
IN which he says: "If any covenants of
this settlement are not observed the
United States Will send her armies
