Some Of these point out that seri.

Mr.. Hearst's personal manifesto

Mr.. Hearst is known as a bitter
opponent OF the League of Nations

since the war he has departed from
his anti-British attitude.
When all of these facts are
grasped 1t may be understood how

Must Be Considered
"The proposals outlined by him
though IN general terms, are Yet
precise enough to be taken Sc.
riously as a basis for public discus.
sion: Mr.. Hearst, Of course, is as
much opposed as every American
citizen since George Washington to
any entangling alliance.
Mr.. Hearst takes opportunity to
state his objections to the League
OF Nations. But this attack is
made by way of enforcing what
is taken by itself as a quite
reasonable point, namely, that
among States having language and
literature in common, Internationa
arrangements must tend to be more
workable and have firmer founda.

OF his compatriots that the League

ineffective.
Praises Combination
IF this American proposal is
attractive to thinking men of Great
Britain and the iominions, it is
as adding to and certainly not as
replacing the system Of peace pre-,
servation represented by the League
That such a scheme would con.
tribute an addition to the forces
making for peace Is hardly to be
questioned, and Mr.. Hearst does
not exaggerate in saying that the
combination suggested by hin,
would be by far the most powerful
influence in the world-we may
reasonably attach significance to
