There lies the chief trouble with
the league of nations advocates. They
regarded that treaty. with the league
in it, as paramount to all-para-
mount to our own national rights, in
terests and self respect. Mr.. Wilson
declared when he went 10 France th-
second time that despite the respect
full notice given him b ythe senate,
he would bring back the treaty with
the league so closely interviewer in
its provisions that the whole must be
adopted. The advocates of the league
backed him up in that arbitrary and
unreasonable proposal, believing that
members of the United States senate
would make the supreme sacrifice"
rather than reject the treaty with
the league covenant in il. They be
, lieved that adoption of the leagu
was paramount to all, If they could
get it woven into the peace treaty
they could put it over regardless Of
. how distasteful it might be to Amer
I leans and how great the sacrifice the
United States would be called upon
J, to make.
: But they foond themselves out OF
