The time when objections we're In order,
nut has strongly indorsed IT, That
icing the case, It does not now
lie in his mouth to berate the president
for insisting upon it, Perhaps Mr.. VII

sometimes inclined to think he Is. But
Mr.. Taft has no right to raise this
objection. He had an earlier opportu-
lity 10 be heard and made no protest,
so far as the president knew at the
time. the league was drafted exactly In
s.seord with Mr.. Taft's wishes.
The former president Is evidently
wanting in a sense OF humor. He Is
president OF the League to Enforce
Peace. He Ia on record as approving
the league OF nations as constituted
at Paris. He has dlscredlted every OBJ
lection that has been raised against IT,
he has harshly criticized senators who
stood out against It. lie has declared
that the breaking OF party ties 20 sup

As observed In the outset. we concede

support OF candidate pledged TO its re-

average voter that the best way to get

Beyond controversy, Mr.. Taft is getting
in bad-worse, perhaps. than Harding.
Not very much has been expected OF

between Mr.. Taft and Hiram johnson
on the League of nations. The News in-
timated hat Hiram would probably
raise no objection. Tho debate is now
constructively in progress, though
without personal meeting. In the
course of Il speech at Chicago Saturday.
Senator Johnson went out of his way
to pay his respects to those alleged
friends OF the league who pretend to
believe that Americas entrance into It
may be assured by electing Harding
OF those who recently issued "A signed
statement in behalf OF Harding and
claiming his adherence to the league,
Senator johnson said. in part:
For reasons OF their own, certain In.

to insist that there is nothing ambiguous

EannoAau,r ~ Mnr

The question TO be decided in this
campaign can be stated simply. The
Versailles treaty contains provision
for a league OF nations to preserve the
peace OF the world. Are We going to
Join the league?
The question stated more broadly, is
whether America, being In the world
shall be OF II; whether she shall Coop
crate with tho other civilized peoples
in the maintenance OF peace. and thus
be an active party in the protection of
conditions upon which her own pros
perity depends, or shall draw herself ex-
clusively aside, allow the rules OF the
game OF life to be made be others and by
failing to exert in advance her econo-
mic ana moral power, be again obliged,
perhaps at even a more frightful cost
than that involved in the late war, to
suspend the processes OF her life and
send her sons to die in struggle
which the weight OF her word, given In
advance, would have suificed to prevent.
We have now come TO a time when II
Is necessary to discuss very thoroughly
this subject, for a decision with refer
ence to II is about to be made. An ap-
peal has been taken on 1t to the highest
court-the people OF the United States.
This is a practical situation which
we now face. We are at war with Ger
many; that war can be ended by only
one process, the making OF a treaty
which will settle the future relations of
the German people and the people of the
United States. The treaty of Versailles
Is still open to us. 1t has been &C
cepted by Germany; II we accept It 1t
closes that chapter and starts the new
international order. II we continue our
rejection OF II, we must either remain
az war or negotiate a new treaty. Fur
thermore, II must be remembered that
in the making OF this treaty twenty
eight nations took part, while every
nation, every colonial possession, and
every people in the world had interests
to be considered and adjusted by 1t. All
the other nations in the world have
Joined In the treaty, embodying the
covenant OF the league of nations. Such
a league has, IN fact. been established
ana Is at work. Let us, therefore, as
calmly as we can, examine the league
OF nations and measure its value.
One naturally finds 1t difficult to dis
cuss the idea of league of nations in
the abstract, because. OF course, there
can Dc no Intelligent reputation OF the
whole idea. Nations were leagued into
groups before the war, and thew must
now be leagued in one way or tho other
by treaties which define their relations
secure their rights and limit their LA
pllltles. A league which will bind all
nations to the observance of common
rights by open and explicit treaties as
substitute for secret and hostile
leagues among various groups of ma :
lions Is an idea accepted as desirable
SO Tar as l know by every intellirent
human being. But it is difficult to dis
