Show BORAH DENOUNCES PACT AND WILSON AT GARY I J GARY, Ind , Oct 20 The league of I nations and President Wilson were , ' denounced last night by Senator Wll" ; Uam E Borah in tin address before j an audience which packed the theatre the-atre where he spoke, many persons . Jamming into the aisles and lobby j or sitting on fire escapes. The senator was applauded loudly when lie said "It will never be safe for America I to go into the league unless Europe-changes Europe-changes her policies. You people .m I the keepers of this republic and not I the senate of the United ISates." In answer to a question from one of Ills listeners, i he senator said "No, I don't know what the president said i to the people in Europe. No one knows but the president But I do ! know what they did to him In Europe. That's enough ' "The league might be all right on paper,'" said Senator Borah, "but when you get down to a concrete base, ' It is altogether different. When you , get down to thc actual working, it seems harsh and autocratic arid alto-, gether objectionable. "They say it will bring peace, but when you turn from theory to fact you find it obligates us to send our boys H overseas to war. The incredible thing about tho H whole proposition is that such rtj H Rcheme should have ever been seri- PJ ously submitted to a people who have H been trained to democracy and devot- H ed to the principles of popular gov - J ernment." oo BSSSSSB |
