Thus, in effect, America becomes
associated with the league, though
not 4 member of it. The United
States retains freedom of action. But
foreign governments are SO anxious
10 have the disinterested advice and
moral influence of the United States
that they would prefer America even
as an associate for special occasions
rather than to have the United States
remain aloof and pigeonhole document
after document and communication
after communication which comes
from the league, as was the case in
the early days of the Harding adj
ministration. when feeling against
any intercourse whatsoever with the
league ran high.
Credit for the change of policy on
the part of Mr.. Coolidge is difficult
to give, but unquestionably men like
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University and q leading
Republican. as we'll as Elihu Root.
Charles Evans Hughes and Col.
House have had a good deal to do
with the decision reached by the
President. Mr.. Butler on his return
from Geneva last Summer. advocated
that the American Minister to
Switzerland keep in close touch with
the activities of the league for the
United States Government. Col
House. who was a recent guest at
the White House. has been urging
for two years that the United States
forget for the moment about direct
membership in the league and adopt
a policy of associate membership,
which he thought the league would
accept. But under the compromise
worked out, the United States does
not become an associate member but
simply. associates itself more fire.
