Senator James A. Reed of Missouri

the Hoover presidential candidacy, is
q lawyer, born in Ohio, educated in
tie public schools Of Iowa and adj
mitted to the bar in that State. In
1887 he moved to Kansas City, and

For two terms he served as mayor OF
Kansas City. Upon his retirement he
resumed law practice and in 1911 en-
tered the senate, where he at once
attracted attention by his disposition
to play part that was independent

How are you going to get the prop
er fighting spirit into American troops
when, under article 10, they will be
called to fight for Poland against Rus
sia, or for Roumania against Bulgaria,
or for Greece against Turkey?"
What is there to nerve man against
death In the thought that by his death
he will help one of these foreign coun-
tries retain territory as big as Long
Island and prevent another country
from getting it? VIII that thought con-
sole him when his mind turns to the
mother or wife in America? Is there
any inspiration in it? Does a man die
gladly for anything so foreign and so
sordidf
The soldier who has stood by the
charred flesh and bones of comrade
knows there is no spirit or consolation
In any of these things. He knows that
men cannot fly willingly into the face
of death for any such causes.
The whole thing is impossible To
soldier Of the line 1t Is simply I'M
thinkable. To him all the talk about
making the world safe for democracy
by lighting boundary wars all around
the globe means just nothing at all.
You might as well tell him to die for
the blue sky as to die for boundafy
lines everywhere and for democracy
In general.
I have never seen a soldier or an
army that could get the fighting spirit
In such a cause as that Neither has
any other American soldier. An Amer
lean army that had no other inspfra-
ton would be an army without spirit,
without morale; 1t would be no army
at all. l defy any soldier to imagine
Z fighting American army under these
conditions.
In August, 1918 10 American avia-
tors were lined up at Claremont,
France, to 90 to the front. They shook
hands with everybody and said good

group: why all this gloomr The
reply was: "Well, those American ma
chimes have no protection; as soon az

and the men have no chance to get

again met the captain and asked II

They never came back
Do men do these things as they go
to breakfast or board street car?
Do they do these things for political
theories or for general principles or
for a miserable piece Of land that
some foreigner covets and some other
foreigner will not give up?
Can you expect any soldier, WHO has
seen men do what those 10 did. to be
for the League of Nations7 Can you
imagine his wishing such sacrifices to
be made on the orders Of a foreign
country? Can you picture to yourself
an American army sent overseas by
the American people to enact such
tragedies? Or, If sent, can you think
1t possible to inspire an army to brave
deeds on such hollow pretensesi
/ cannot. No soldier can. That is
why the soldier is against the League
e Nations.
