United States
" And the League
0f'Nations
What 'Actions Should the
1 United States Take? '
- What action fchould tho United
States take?
; The League of Nations association
of 6 East 30 street. New York City,
has issued the following bulletin for
immediate release In a number of
college and ochool papers through
out the country.
j .Would It be an aid to Internation
al peace m tnese trouoious times
were the world informed upon what
Vrms the United States would Join
,il.e League of Nations?
' ; Should there be an official Ameri
can representative at Geneva to par
ticipate In League deliberations while
the United States is not a League
member?
1 Students In some 750 colleges are
being called on to answer these ques
tions in the affirmative. That Is, a
petition asking for these two actions
as i Important to the cause of peace
Is being circulated In 750 colleges
1 under sponsorship of the Intercolle
giate Council on International Co
operation. . James F. Green, now a
graduate student at Yale, and well
known for the speech he made before
the World Disarmament - Conference
at Geneva, la chairman of the- coun
cil. The petition urges "that the United
States reinforce the League's contri
bution to peacA by stating the terms
under .which, full membership would
bo possible; and by - appointing In
the meantime an official diplomatic
representative to the League of Na
tions to participate In Its delibera
tions." ThH petition can be secured
by seeing Mr. Blunt,
The promoters of the petition, de
clare It to be "realistic," that what
Is petitioned for can and should be
done at once. They are also of the
opinion that these steps would be
peculiarly In harmony with Presi
dent Roosevelt's policy as stated In
hia Woodrow Wilsoiv anniversary din
ner speech last December.
A vast number of peace -advocates
are convinced . that if world disaster
Is to be averted, the United States
and Russia must come into the Lea
gue. Much Is being said both In this
country and abroad about revising
the League Covenant to make it ac
ceptable to these two Important
world powers. It would go a long
way toward clarifying a dangerously
ponfused situation, say tho peace ad
vocates if the United States would
satc under what terms she would
Join tho League,
.The preamble of the petition which
was initiated by the League of Na
tions association declarer:
