"in August, 1916, the United States senate approved by practically unani mous vote; a house bill appropriating $300,000 to create and maintain a court of nations founded upon the . principles of the proposed League of Nations.. "Today that body, among a group of whoso members consistency is thus proved a jewel .of poorly moulded mud, threatens the defeat ot the League of Nations, embodying the tenets once m-, phatlcally approved, by . the vote - of some 37 senators. k ,'" ,-; "In the face of such ynreasoning o posltion I am for the League of Nations with all my energies!

"No member of con gress or of the senate believes for n moment that the League of Nations Is the ultimate balm for a bruised world. President Wilson does not and has never contended .any such thing. "I am safe in saying, however, that the League of Nations is the only solu tion for the evils of war that has been ' proposed. Until a better proposition is advanced the United States will sponsor the league and upon the foundation which -It provides will offer every con structive effort to improve it and make it what President Wilson and others hope it will be an effective and laatlnir panacea for world ills, a preventative ' everlasting for the war the world has 5 come to hate. "Were we to follow the advice of -some of. our senatorial colleagues we : would be btlldng our post war house from the rafters down.
