PEOPLE HELD RESPONSIBLE
GERMANS WILLIXGLT LED, DCE
1 TO FALSE PHILOSOPHY.
Cnlted States Declared to Be Logical
Nation to Pusb Matter of In
ternational League.
OXFORD. Ohio, Nov. 30. Former
President W. H. Taft, speaking before
an audience tonight at Miami Univer
sity on "The League of Nations" said
the German people were as much re
sponsible for the war as the Hohen-
sollerns in "that by reason of their
faulty education and the false philoso
phy they had been taught for years.
they were willingly lead."
Mr. Taft said President Wilson had
once announced himself as. favorable to
the establishment of the league of na
tions, but had since grown lukewarm.
However, it was hoped, he said, that
when the President got on the other
aide he would change his attitude.
He said that the United States on ac
count of its dominance, was a world
people and -was the logical nation to
nush the matter of the International
league and that this country cannot
draw back Jnto its' shellj.and its people
live unto themselves."
Commenting on the objection offered
by some -people that a league of na
tions would be unconstitutional. Mr.
Taft said such objections were not only
Illogical but'ridiculous. They remind
ed him, he said, of many lawyers who,
having lost cases on perfectly valid
statutes, would then as a last resort.
attack the constitutionality of the
statutes and lose again.
