When Does He Get 1t?

CENATOR BORAH says that the world
~ court is part of the league of ma
tons and that the vast majority of Amer
leans are Enthusiastically opposed" to the
latter.
The gentleman from Idaho is most GER
tainly better informed than anybody else
on earth, if he knows what the vast ma
jority of Americans want at this time in
respect of the league. If he bases his
knowledge upon the election returns of
1920, it is to be remembered that millions
of Americans didn't vote at all upon that
occasion and it must be recalled that, at
the very next election, the people gave
millions of majority to nominee who
stood for the worlds court. Where does
Borah get his vast majority"
Fact is that, owing to the number of
stay-at-homes. the opinion of the vast
majority of American voters is rarely ex-
pressed. Also it is nearly six years since
there was any national expression as to
the league, and there is an abundance of
proof in our political history that the vot-
ing majority is in the habit of changing
its views as to issues
During those six years, with America
outside the league, there has been an al
mighty lot of hair-pulling but very little
of settlement of war problems, due, very

thoy arc as Just and human as

who actually can fly.
II this is true, why in tho

mcnt should Colonel Mitchell be
courtmartlnlcd for giving his cx-
pert opinion on aviation to the
civilian authorities. who are not
flyers and who understand lit

And it hates TO see these faithful ones

1t is largely up to the employees them

made to do their duty or are eliminated.
