The EVENING NEWS considers the League of Nations
not a partisan political issue. The fact that Republicans like
Taft and Wickersham ardently favor the league means that
many other Republicans feel likewise. On the other hand the
opposition by Democratic senator's, such as Shields, and Reed,
means that they, too, have their following and it is in the ranks
of the Democratic party.
The matter of the United States joining the league, the
EVENING NEWS holds Of such transcendant Importance, that
it resumes herewith its campaign of last year for this agree
ment designed to abolish all wars by providing for:
/. Universal disarmament;
2 Abolition Of secret treaties;
8. international arbitration and
4. Acceptance Of obligation not to 60 TO war.
