another such group is formed the U S should be an active member a nation-wid- e survey disclosed The survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center of Denver university revealed that two out of every three American citizens think the United States made a mistake by abandoning the League of Nations at the end of World War I Another survey completed recently by the research center disclosed that 69 per cent of the American public favors U S membership in any Union of nations which may be formed after this war Fifteen per cent said joining such a league would be a "bad idea" and 5 per cent qualified their answers by mentioning leadership work- -' ability and other factors January 4 1 1913 Warship Bags Wright Field Air Engineers Perfern 32 Nip Planes Miracles in items War Preb
