consideration of ot interpretative resolutions that would preserve preserve the general purpose purpose purpose pur pur- pose of the treaty and to so permit its ratification condemns them to the

America that the senate quit playing politics with this sacred question and give to the world the word that Amer Anier- ica is ready to at least malta make a trial for universal peace We repudiate the Inferential suggestion that having Joined our associates In war that is now leading them to chaos we are to withdraw and leave them to toa a merci less fate in order that we might maintain main tam tain a so called traditional state of Isolation that we surrendered when we went to the defense of our rights and to the aid of struggling humanity If this is to be our attitude then the Americans who
