The Peace Treaty with the Wilson
Covenant attached, is a founding.
Nobody wants 1t.
Attorney General Palmer will In.
stitute another price inquiry. Why
not fewer beginnings and more re-
suits.
Has President Wilson heard from
Michigan Is this the overwhelming
sentiment In favor Of his League of
Nations?
What the American people want Is
q president who will take a mandate
for the wise and efficient and consti-
tutional handling of American public
affairs.
The Attorney General always says
that the turn for lower prices Is Just
