guarantee of the peace Of the world.
When the president was before
the foreign relations committee. Sem
ator Knox asked this question: Sup
pose that ii is perfectly obvious that
there is an external aggression
against some power and suppose II is
perfectly obvious and accepted that
il can not be repealed except by force
of arms, would we he under any legal
obligation to participated The prest-
dent replied to this: No, sir, but we
would be under an absolutely COM
polling moral obligation
IL take 1t that 1t will not make
very much difference to the Ameri-
can people, to the sons and mothers
of America, whether you call 1t a
legal obligation or moral obliga-
ton or what you call 1t, II 1t is an
obligation absolutely compelling, and
from the execution of which there
r. no escape. Is it not perfectly
plain that we guarantee the settle
ments and the boundaries of Europe
and that if there is an actual dis
turbanCe of these boundaries we are
under an absolutely compelling moral
obligation to send our armies and
our navies across the sea? Is it not
equally plain that we are carrying
out the decisions of these men rep
resenting the whole world the di-
visions which they made, the boun.
diaries which they established and
that we are doing so by the blood
and treasure of America?
I'm the incredible thing about this
whole proposition is that such a
scheme should have ever been seri-
ousy submitted to a people who
have been trained TO democracy and
devoted to the principles of popular
government"

President Wilson, in o speech at the

the league will bring peace, every

league. But when you turn from
theory to fact and see it obligates
us to send our boys across the sea,
our army and our navy, it creates
an uproar of disapproval and has
tens explanations and denials. Yet
that is precisely what the league in
it's 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 Oh
force. The first statement read as
follows And back of that lies the
fundamental and important fact that
