Howard Taft declared at a dinner at
tho Lotus club that the stars in their
courses were d.lvlng the world into
a liugtie of .nations to enforce peace.
The 'former president asserted with
solemn emplHSis that unless sucu a
league, at least In Its essential prin
ciples, develops out of the Paris con
ference, the war will bavo been a tall
tire, the treaty will be a failure, and
tho iie.-.ee Itself will be a failure.
Mr. Taft said that while President
Wilson at llrst' favored such a league
1k hm! been for a tlmo "faint-hearted"
toward It but the speaker holle
ed Mr. Wilson had been won hack to
Its suppoit. Ilo added that every
IndUntlou In diplomatic exchanges
and In the utterances of prominent
public men abroad, Indicated that all
the principal allied lountrios would
luck the proposal in its essence.
Mr. Taft flatly took Issue with his
former secretary of state. Senator
Phlli'udor C. Knox, who asserted re
cently In tho t-ennlo that there should
li a quick winding up of the war,
leaving tho discussion of the league,
changes in the laws of tho sen and
other International questions to a
later ami more leisurely discussion
of the nations. The speaker, building
his arguments with much of the pre
cision of n legal brief, save when now
and then be digressed long enough to
laugh heirtlly at his own erst while
political misfortune. Insisted tluu
practically oery covenant of treaty
as foriH'ast hy the armistice, tonus,
must have such a congress of powers
ti enforce It, unless the treaty Itself
Is t'J be worth no more than the piper
It Is written on.
Ho assorted it to bo his observation
Hint gentlemen nt Washington sit up
and take notice when an Issuo be
er mils llvo nnd acute. This Issue, he
Haiti, now has reached that stage.
