Declares Wilson Had
No Regrets u. S. Did
Not Enter League

WilliamStown. Mass, Aug. %
Woodrow Wilson, a few weeks be-
fore his death, did not regret that
the United States had not joined the
league of nations at it's beginning,
Professor Sydney b. Fay of Smith
College declared at the Institute of
politics here today. Professor Fay
referred to a conversation which a
friends of his and a counsellor of
Mr.. Wilson had reported to him as
having taken place with the former
president.
1t was Mr.. Wilson's opinion that
the league was developing and had
shown itself able to perform the
task set for it. He still believed
that the United States would event
ually join the league, but he was
philosophical over the delay, Pro-
fessor Fay said.
This gentleman called on Presi-
dent Wilson few weeks before he
died." Professor Fay related. He
told me recently that Mr.. Wilson
had said that it was a greater thing
for the league idea that the league
had grown so strong without the
care of its principal sponsor and pa
rent"

Forces FavOring
Dawes Plan Gain
Votes in Reichstag

Berlin. Aug. 29-By A. P)-The
turnabout by As German Nationalist
reichstag deputies late this afternoon
gave the Marx Stresemann forces a
comfortable majority in favor of the
London reparatiGns agreement. The
sensational flop by the reactionaries
was concealed up to the time bal
loting on the railway bill began,
both the bank and debenture laws
having previously been adopted by
rising votes.
In support of the railway bill 314
votes were cast, as against 121 votes
in opposition, which came from the
communists and the Ludendorff
party and As nationalist members,
the government receiving n majority
considerably in excess of the cOnsti-
tutional two thirds requirement.
The voting on the London agree
ments supplied n spectacular climax
to four weeks of acrimonious parti-
san warfare on the Dawes report, the
bulk of which was supplied by the
German nationalist party.
