terry.
Despite an almost universal con.
spiracy to speak in whispers, If at
ALL In the last Is years about the
league. logic and reason are driving
us toward 1t and into 1t, as surely
as the sun has risen this day." said
Huston Thompson at the tomb of
Woodrow Wilson, where several
wreaths were placed.
Mrs. Wilson Present.
I. Mrs. Wilson was present as Mr.,
Thompson, former Assistant Attor-
ney General and former chairman
Of the Federal Trade Commission,
eulogized her husbands idealism.
Discussing postwar plans, Mr..
Thompson said:
1''Is 1t too much to say that the
plan Of Moscow points toward q
League of Nations? Can we not,
with fair confidence, predict that
1t will be the League of Nations
ere long? Has not our Senate, which
was stymied in the past by fear,
practically removed that political
and mental hazard through the in
dorsement of the action at Moscow?
mo one can successfully challenge
Wilson's thought behind the league,
since 1t is founded ON cooperation
through the cultivation of friend
ship" Mr.. Thompson asserted.
Speaks From Tomb.
Concluding, Mr.. Thompson said:
"As he speaks to us from the tomb,
I believe we can hear him say: Fin
ish the task to which our arms are
dedicated. Then draw a veil over
the mistakes of the past. Begin
again at the beginning, with charity
for all and malice toward none; let
security founded upon friendship
be the watchword'"
