The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week July 19th gives a country-wide survey of the press and interviews with United States Senators, enabling readers to gain a very definite idea of what the nation thinks of the President's Senate speech for a League of Nations. While the Minneapolis Journal (Rep.) urges us "to be very sure that the Covenant does not permit the Emopean camel to get its head inside our tent," the New York Times sounds the dominant note in public opinion when it declares that "the President's address compels ratification; it is an irresistible force which the Senate can not withstand."
