Show or of preserving peace through "an international police force." Forty members of the greatest deliberative delibera-tive body in the world were unrecorded, unre-corded, with most of them "deliberating." "delib-erating." Naturally, no surprise is occasioned occa-sioned by the failure of the" irre- VOTE INDICATES ISOLATION IDEAS NOT DEAD The fact that thirty-two United States Senators openly record their opposition to an international police po-lice force to preserve the peace of the world is evidence that isolationism isola-tionism is not dead and that some Senators do not learn anything. The question posed by the Associated Asso-ciated Press in a recent poll, may not be entirely conclusive as to the willingness of the Senators to support an active and intelligent foreign policy of the United States, in cooperation with other nations. Only twenty-four Senators were willing to go on the record in fav- conciliable Hiram Johnson, of California, Cali-fornia, to support any intelligent move looking to a broader vision of the future. Much the same comment com-ment can be made on the position of other veterans who, like Senator Smith, of South Carolina, do not "know what the issues will be." The question posed by the Associated As-sociated Press did not attempt to fill in the details as to- the creation, crea-tion, operation and control of the "international peace force." It was designed to test sentiment on the general thought because almost everybody realizes, by this time, that the present war will be repeated re-peated unless there is some force to curb aggressors in the future. The replies of those who took positive positions may be considered consider-ed as a revelation of their mind upon the general subject of international inter-national cooperation to "preserve peace" after the present struggle ends. The poll reveals that there are thirty-two Senators who are against anything, and a scrutiny of the names will reveal that they are the members of the Senate who have been against most things. |
