FOR VINDICATION

This nation entered the great war
to vfndicate it's own rights and to
protect and preserve free government

TO the end and the end has not yet
come. Ii went into the war TO maks
an end of miiitarisfn, to furnisn
guarantees to weak nations, ana To
make just and lasting peace. 1t en-
tered it with noble enthusiasms. Five
of the leading belligerents have ac-
cepred the treaty and formal ratih-
cations will soon be exchanged. The
question is whether this country Will
enter and enter whole heartedty.
IF it does not do so. the United
States and Germany viii lplay lone
hand in the world. The mainten-
ance of the peace of the world and
the effective execution of the treaty
depend upon the whole hearted par
ticipation of the United States. | am

The point Is that the Cnltec
States is the only nation which has
sufficient moral force with the rest os
the world TO guarantee the suhstitu-
ton of discussion for war II we keep
out of this agreement. if we do not
give our guarantees, then another at
tempt will be made TO crush the new
nations of Europe.

THE CHALLENGE
A challenge TO every patriot and
lasal citizen js. first. to support 1he
constitution and stand relentllessly
for the enforcement OF law and order;
second, to enlist In a fight for world
wide prohibition. We fight an enemy
that knows no compromise. 1t Is a
battle to the finish. We have put
our hands to the plow and cannot
stop until there is a dry belt around
the globe. This means Safeguarding
prohibition at home and carrying the
blessings Of prohibition To the other
people of the nations Of the world.

The statement issued by Mr.. Hoover
in New York said:
have seen in some of this morn
ings papers copy of memorandum
OF mineSthat was prepared in the course
OF the peace conference On the subject
OF our participation in the large num-
Der OF international commissions set
up IN Europe. AS to the views ex-
pressed in the memorandum, they were
later on modified as to the particular
OF our having a representative on the

nothing that is such a breach of good

comment:
The fact has leaked out that that is
the view of Mr.. Hoover, the European

nothing more than condemn the. proc
