Walsh Praises.
Wilson And Raps
U.S.LeagueStand

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 2S (AP)
- Senator Walsh, of Montana.
speaking at the Woodrow Wilson
dinner this afternoon, said the
United States was occupying a
subordinate position among the
nations of the world, chiefly owing
to it's policy of isolation as regards
the League of Nations.
''To say that the League of Ma
tions is a powerful agency for
peace, none by the ignorant will
denyi 1t is getting along nicely
without the support of the United
States 1t is doubtful if it would
have functioned more effectively or
more successfully had our country
been a member from the beginning
'As most of the problms threat
ening world peace are European.
or involve the European powers, if
is quite likely that had America
been a member she would have
studiously held aloof from them.
at least as far as, conditions would
permit, engaging actively in the
humanitarian work of the league
and it's efforts to secure general
recognition of the principles of in
ternational law"
Senator Walsh said that in some
of the activities of the league 1--WE
have gradgingly participated for
very shame at having no hand in
world enterprises approved by the
common opinion of mankind" and
asked how, in view of it's aloofness,
the United States could expect to
be regarded with any warmth of
friendship by the people of Europe.
In his tribute to the late Presi-
dent Wilson, Senator Walsh said
that his place in history rests
upon the sure foundation of his
love for man in the aggregate and
his devotion to the cause of the
many against the injustices of the
few"

official capacity, he is entitled to
