 Now that the American people have decisvely deeiared against the League of Nations as written by the President" said MT. Bryan. ''it would seem desirable to carry out the verdict Immediately. This can be easily done.
 The President should resign at once and turn over his office to MT. Marshall, on the condition that. on the converting of Congress in December, Mir. Marshall appoint Senator Harding Secretary of State, and himself resign.
 "The law then would make Mir. Lar ding President and, with the republican support in Congress, he could at once put into operation the plan for the Unit ed States to enter into an association of nations for peace.
 As world peace is thing nearest the Presidents heart, he can hardly refuse to hasten the coming of peace by so small a sacrifice-f it could be called a sacrifice-to escape from three months combat with hostile Congress, support ed as it is by the recent vote.'
