Show -- What the Nation Has on its Conscience We wonder if e may be pardoned for calling them murderer's mur-derer's row, the little group of wilful and soulless men who, after the World War 1, influenced the United States Senate to defeat the country's entrance into the League of Nations. We hope so. They, more than any other thing, are respors ible for the present, war and will have to answer at the eternal judgment bar for their wicked folly. Because of them the United States surely has a heavy weight resting on its conscience. What nation was it that being powerful enough to save it, remained out of.the League? It was the United States. What nation was it that held back with such fearful reluct.incy from the world court? It was the United States. What nation was it that laughed down the possibility of war coming to it from abroad? It was the United Unit-ed States. W hat nation was it that passed one of the most stupid and vicious tariff laws and built impassable barriers to prevent economic recovery? The United States. God forbid that this nation should again be given over to thewquare heads of reaction and isolation. If it is, then its civilization will melt away like dew before the sun. |
