I. SHIFTS STAND
ON LEAGUE

ALBANY, N. Y, FEB. 3 GN.S0
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a
candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, today
stepped before the Nation four
square against American partici'
patton in the League of Nations
and the cancellation of war debts.
Addressing the New York State
Grange, Roosevelt completely re.
nounced his advocacy in 1920 Of
the League. He said he was
convinced the League no longer
was an instrument for world
peace as conceived by its founder,
the late President Wilson.
After picturing the League as
having become a mere meeting
pace for the political discussion
of strictly European political ma.
tional difficulties in which he
said the United States should
have no part, the Governor de-
clared:
"The fact remains that we
did not join the League. The
League has not developed
through these years along the
course contemplated by its
founder, or have the principal
members shown a disposition to
divert the huge sums spent on
armament into the channels
of legitimate trade, balanced
budget, and payment Of Cbliga-
tiOns."
