Show m r m THE SLEEP OF DEATH In the matter of ' the 'much discussed "League of Nations" it begins to look as though Senator Lodge knew1 what he was talking about when; he said it was quietly slumbering in thejisfeep ofi 'death." And as the Salt Lake Tribune said in its issue of NoyemberlstW "the defeat of the German "twace treaty andXeague of Nations Na-tions covenant in the senate may justly be attributed to President Wilson, vwho insisted on ratification without the slight est alteration." It is too bad that President Wilson so completely lost himself as to violate that time honored American principle that majorities rale. Steeped in the imagination imagina-tion of his own ambition and accomplishments, accomplish-ments, notwithstanding the verdict of the people, he madly plunged in and now presents pre-sents the sorry spectacle of a misguided, disappointed man. Having shut himself out from council, even among his own party, he doggedly insists that his will must be imposed upon the majority, and under such conditions any American can see the f jnish. His league is verily slec-ing slec-ing "the sleep of death." |
