"Many have talked of the cross ns

NEW FOREIGN POLICY
URGED BY EDMONDS
Attornoy Mako3 Ploa for Action
Abroad at Business Scionco
Lunch Tells Own Survoy
"Wanted An American Foreign
Policy," was the subject of on ad
dress by Franklin Spencer Edmonds,
an attorney, today nt n luncheon of
the Business Science Club, nt the Hotel
Adclphia.
"At least three great public ques
tions aro before the American people
today, which thould be settled, nnd if
possible decided by the next presidential
election, namely : The League of Nn
tions, relittlons with Mexico and Bol
shevism," said Mr. L'dmonds, as a key
note to his remarks.
"At the signing of the armistice four
teen montlm ago, the United States whs
at Its pinnacle of achievement, reputa
tion nud power. Those who were
abroad during and after the period of
mobilization of American men and re
sources witnessed the effect upon tho
rest of the world; bow it rekindled the
flagging ardor of some of our exhausted
allies. f
"The result was when peace came
the world was nrenarrd to acclaim th'
United States lenders of the world.
Llttlo more than u year has elapsed ami
sinco that time this period has beeu
filled with disappointment, confusion
ntlH fllmnrfv Th i..nnn Am..lnaii tint
uncustomed to giving time nnd atten
tion to ioreign uituirs is disgusted.
"Now the tlmn linn cnmi. when Amer
ican business men must give a large
proportion of their time nnd thought
to questions of foreign policy.
"As a temporary resident of Paris,
I witnessed the tremendous enthusiasm
upon the arrival of President WiIon
und nlbo the gradual cooling of this
ruinusiasm. Europeans were amareu
that Amei leans hnd made no prepara
tion setting forth definite working plans
for the fouitccu poluts nnd n set of
beautiful ideals.
"Thus America gradually lost her
leadership. To my mind it is clear
that wo must of necessity enter the
League of Nations, with the reserva
tion of Article X as originally framed
by nilhu Boot.
"The Mexican question is intolciablc
if it is true that 000 Americans have
been murdcicd since the overthrow of
Diaz nnd no reparation made by the
Mexican Government.
"Bolshevism should be dealt with
upon tbc basis that if another country
chooses to adopt u communistic policy
of government that Is its own concern.
But, on the other hand, we have a
right to protect ofcr institutions if that
country should nttempt to force it
upon us "
