He told of objections of the repub-
licans. Mr. Wilson, he. said, made a
grave error in not accepting reser-
vations, that he said Ne wanted ar

no league.
Ii the president had agreed to
reservations" he said "our relations
would have been more to their and
our own benefit We should realize
that the policy of isolation Injuries us
and does not help Europe. That is
the reason why think we ought to
get into the league. l do not think
we had a solemn referendum on the
league in the recent election. On no
one issue could it be said it had
been definitely decided"

emphasized have enlarged because
our domestic interests have also en-
larged, giving the nation more
strength The civil war established
our place as a ranking nation of the
world, he continued and of course
affected our foreign relations.
Mr.. TAFT stated that arbitration
has been practiced between the
United States and Canada for many
years, forming habit which he
hoped the rest Of the nations would
take up.
"The United States has been a
leader in arbitration" he said, that
is emphatically one of the reasons
why we should pursue our foreign
policy as a means Of settling ques-
tions without resorting to war;
He tod os the organization Of the
League to Enforce Peace prior to the
beginning of war. The idea of tho
league was given wide publicity.
The United States could not re-
main neutral during the Wa. he
said, because modern welfare makes
it too all-incmsive for the nations
There has been a dispute, Mr. Tart
stated, as to whether we entered the
war to save the world to democracy
or to defend our rights.
At the end Of the war, the speaker
added, there was sentiment for
league of nations to end wars.
He discussed article 10 of the
league covenant and the way the
league affects the Monroe Doctrine

ters for settlement. There should be
moderation OF the peace terms for
Germany, he continued.
Entrance of this country into the
league, the speaker said, would make
our foreign relations what they
should be, and we would get rid OF
doubt and difficulties this would be
the right and easy course, meaning
a resumption Of normal relations.
The aid Of the United States in
the reconstruction and rehabilitation
of Europe must be consistent with
our own safety, he asserted to as
sist in restoring the old world to
conditions where it can meet its
obligations.
Some contend that we should OBJ
serve our traditions, Mr. Taft de-
clared, and avoid entangling alli-
ances, and should not become in
yolved in wars.
ITO meet this narrow view, it
seems to me-" he said, "the growth
of other nations should be pointed
out"
Washington in his farewell address
spoke against permanent agreements
which would lead to entangling al
liances. Jefferson favored friedly re-
lations and entangling alliances with
none. But this policy, the speaker
pointed out, has its limitations.
Mention Monroe Doctrine.
Out of the war of 1912 came limi-
tation of armamenis on the Cana
dian border, he said, setting a prece-
dent.
The Monroe Doctrine was advised
by Thomas jefferson to secure the
western hemisphere against aggres-
sion and exploitation, Mr. Taft said.
What | want to emphatically say
regarding the Monroe Doctrine" he
stated. "is in respect to our foreign
responsibility and relations. 1t has
been used by some as a narrow iso-
lation our ourselves. That is a mis-
take. Reckless as it was, the doctrine
has vindicated itself 1t has been
kept inviolate through fear of the
United States and what this nation
might do
Taere was one violation of the
doctrine, during the civil war. when
Maximillian set up an empire in
Mexico. resulting in the capture,
courtmartial and execution.

MORE STATE AID
FOR SCHOOLS IS
AIM ASSOCIATION
County superintendent Points Out
Purpose of o. E. A.; Shows
Where Rural Schools
Need Appropriation

Betterment of the rural schools of
the state is one Of the aims of the
Oklahoma Educational association,
according to II. F.. Allen, county
superintendent Of public instruction,
who has just returned from Okla
homa City where he attended a CON
ference of school superintendents
and school board members from the
districts in need of state rural
school aid.
Grady county's representation in
the conference was larger than the
delegations from any other county
in the state, Mr. Allen said. Practi-
cally every town school superintend-
ent and about fifteen school board
members from this county were pres
ent
The first step toward the better
mont of the states rural schools, the
county superintendent said, will be
the request for a large appropria-
ton to be submitted to the eighth
Oklahoma legislature to be in ses.
sion in Oklahoma City during the
months of January and February.
Althuogh exact figures yet have not
been compiled, it is probable that
the association will ask that approx
mately one million dollars be ap-
propriated for this purpse, supt. AL
len stated
pointed out that in previous
years the universities and normal
schools of the state had been
granted large sums of money for
and improvements,
while the rural schools had been ne
elected. Only one huh1red thousand
dollars, he said, was the amount ap-
for the rural schools by
the last legislature, while the. nor
NAL schools and universities were
granted many times this amount.
Many rural schools in Grady
county are badly in need of more
state aid, Supt Allen declared.
