liartr "mimt Minnort the league with

"The President has declared Mr.

to the. Senate. Senator Johnson de
mands that the Republican party op-
I pose the league altogether, two more
destructive attitudes toward a jrcat
issue could not be found.
"An emergency Is created by this
alliance of destruction. The aspirations
of the great majority of our people will
' be thwarted by either of these extremes.
, Thta. majority is fixed in its determina
tion that the Cnitvi States, both for
our own protection and in the interest
of the welfare of the world, aball Join
' the league by ratifying the trcnty.
.which provides for substitution of
methods of peace for incthodn of war.
but that we shall do so only under
, assurance of no infringement of our
constitution and our tradition.
"The inflexible attitude of the Presi-
I dent and his supporters nud of Senator
Johnson and his supporters bas brought
this issue Into the election at an im
measurable moral and economic cost to
our own country nnd to the world. If
, the Republican party, however, is to
