The question Of the league OF na-
tons is q world question and should
not be decided from a political point
OF view" said Sir John Foster Fraser
Tuesday night in his lecture at the
Woman's club.
Sir John is a distinguished world
traveller who hopes to cement the
friendship OF nations.
In speaking Of the peace treaty the
lecturer said. England is not critical
i'm regard 70 the attitude OF the
United States, she is surprised SAID
the SPEAKER she is surprised be-
cause II il had not been for the en-
thusiasm Of the United States at the
outset there would be no treaty
America has turned its back on its
own idea England recognizes, as 90
all the other nations OF the world,
what the United States did in the war
England does not shout about Amer
ica's part In the war we are sincere,
not noisy. We regret that America
is turning away from the course
marked cut by America
Suspicious OF World
America is suspicious OF the other
countries If she comes into the
league at all. she must come in whole
heartedly- Keep out, II you are COM
ing in with any sinister ideas. You
would only be interfering with other
y
TO bring about better conditions in
this old world"
This IS the most precious moment
in history" was another remark Of
sir John I'VE should try to promote
better relations with other countries
The relations now are not as good as
in pre-war days. People think they
are not patriotic unless they are say
ing something unkind about another
nation. The people Of the United
States say unkind things about
France and England and France and
England say unkind things about
you
"A man is q poor patriot who can't
esteem his own country without con
demling another" said the speaker
before leaving the subject
Armenia Bleeding To Death.
In speaking Of Armenia Sir John
said. Armenia has suffered more
than any country IN Europe or more
than France and Belgium together.
Her oppression by the Turks is IN
comparable with any other country
Armenia is lying by the roadside OF
the world bleeding to death Who is
going TO give her succor2 America is
the only country in the world which
has not adopted the guardianship OF
a down-trOdden nation. and yet
America IS considered the greatest
Christian nation America has taken
no responsibility in supporting the (
poor countries Of tbs world Armenia /
needs more than money, she needs ,
the aid OF some great democratic /
power 10 help her open her country
and 70 teach her, and 70 watch her
work out her problems Americans
stand back and say. we don't want 4
20 mix Up in Asiatic troubles America
should not help Armenia for Armeuia-s
sake but for Americas sake The +,
whole world IS being remade- America /
should undertake this work so she 4
viii stand right in the face Of the
worlds history Americas conscience
IS the only thing that should direct &
her IN what she does or does not do I
Tor Armenia"
america is the only country that is !
richer than she was before the war 4
said Sir John in further carving his
point concerning Armenia Europe
smiles at the thought OF America en-
terlng the war for the sake Of hui
nanity- The United States was
aroused by the sinking OF the Lusi-
tauias which wasn't the worst thing
america was insulted You came into
me war. You didn't come in" said
SIP John because England was hard
pressed or because Belgium was
bleeding. but when you were spit
upon and slapped, that IS when Won Z
entered the var That is what Europe I
IS saying OF america and she calls /
you ne grossest materialists in the 4
Sir John added that America can
redeem herself and prove such taIk
unjust II she shows herself willing to
axe responsibility along with the
-esc Of the world.
