On the other hand "we want a League of Nations to prevent war, and we ought to.be able to get it," thinks the Minneapolis Tribune, and the'Philadelphia Public Ledger accuses some of our seu-ators seu-ators of flaunting "scarecrows" to frighten America away from the league and declares that "to cast coal oil on the flames of smoldering Europe just now is neither senatorial nor sane."
