Show VF do no1 agree with some of the Rt i uMican Senators and Representatives, supported also by a number of Democrats, who are obstructing the peace program, and particularly the formation of a league of nations to enforce peace. Tin if only i excuse for this attitude is the apparent slight to the United States Senate on the part of the Pres-, ident, which seems to be unwarranli d. The Sen-ale Sen-ale Is given the s'ime authority as the c'lief executive ex-ecutive in the peace making department of the nation, and it would seem that the Preside t could not have done less than appoint one member Ox the senate on the peace delegation. But the league of nations to enforce peace is so manifestly important im-portant that there should be no serious difference of opinion regarding it In this country, and particularly par-ticularly in the upper house Of congress. If the Senators have a grievance with the lr -sidest. we suggest that they find some other way of settling it, than by seeking to thwart a movement of such vital importance to the civilised world. Ex-Pres-ldent Taft, one of the fairest and broadest men this country has ever produced, has the tight attitude at-titude on this question. |
