speech, delivered in the Dream

Senator Borah spoke for an
hour and a half. He said he con-
sidered the league of nations
question the most important that
has confronted the American
people since the foundation of the
republic; certainly the greatest
question since the civil war. He
quoted Washington's solemn warn
ing of 124 years ago that America
should keep clear of entangling
political alliances with European
powers, warning that had been
adhered to by Washington's
successors down to the present
time. During those 1874 years he
said recent developments prove
that Europe has not changed her
standards and ideas. Europe has
thirty wars in progress now over
the same questions that he said
embroiled her when Washington
uttered his sage advice and Monroe
