Fngland was a crook trying to steal the ‘»lob-' through her many votes in the' League council. Those two instances occur to us DOw. And the same Senators, those who accused other mations of crookedness and stealth. refused to ratify the League of Nations Covenant made out by a council of nations in France to which we had sent a representative in the person of President Wilson. They prance about the country today preaching and declaring on “moral ob- ligations.” Where was their sense of moral obligation when the Deague pact was first before the Senate, since they refused our very first moral ob- lgation, that of ratifying the Treaty of Versallles. The same men that are now be- walling our duty to go to war under “moral obligations” stand convicted hymmmmdmungm observing the first “moral obligation” of all BORAH'S SPEECH. It was suggested in these columns that all New Britain people should hear Senator Borah's speech. It was hoped and expected that he would dis- cuss the League of Nations. He did. Now those who heard him may feel that they have listened to the last word against the League, presented in the strongest way possible by “the greatest platform speaker in the country today,” as Senator Borah was characterized last night by presiding officer Andrew J. Sloper. Opponents of the League should be willing to stand or fall on the effect of Senator Borah's speech. Probably they are. the huge audience gathered at Fox's theater the moment he stepped upon the stage. The audience, in which there was a big scattering of women but consisted mainly of serious-faced, earnest men, wanted to krow, longed to hear all about the plan that been formed to perpetrate peace. Members of that audience may feel assured that they will be startled by no more objections to the League, presented In a no more convincing manner, than were made last night. What was the effect? Men and women left the hall runl of admira- tion for ability of Senator Borah to argue a case. They had been at- tracted, hypnotized by his personality. They had been affected by his declaration that the result of the league would be that they would elect a man as our representative on the League Council, who, behind closed sitting with the diplo- mats who formed the league council, could help send their boys to fight and The man's personality dominated has almost doors, perhaps die in the defense of a piece of real estate belonging to other na- tiona.

An' if they knows they're tryin’ hard that other people won't, S0 they’ll have no discrepancies in future to confront.” The rat replies: “Your wisdom words don’t bother me at all. While all's confusion I shall.seek my hole there in the wall. It's very comfortable there; it's warm an' all the rwst; in days like these it's gooa to have a quiet, peaceful nest.” The squirrel raises up his tail; his eyes flash flames of fire. O’ course,” he says,“you can do that if that is your desire. But let me tell you as a friend, you make a big mis- take, for your ol' wall may crumble an’ dgain your wall may break.

An’ let me add another word an’ let it go at that, your stickin’ close to your ol’ hole is why you're called ‘a rat.” " United States to anything in any way which conflicts with the Constitution, there would be any obligation on Congress to pass over that all power- ful Constitution and obey the behest of the lesser power—the vote of our representative on the Council. Senator Borah stated that the question every voter should ask him- self is shall we abandon the princi- Ples of Washington under which this country has grown and prospered, and substitute for it this League of Na- tions? Senator Borah repeated Wash- ington’s warning against foreign en- tanglements, insisting that as surely as we became involved in Europe's affairs, Europe would soon become in- volved in our affairs. One might have asked the Senator from Idaho whom Washington was addressing. Were his farewell words written for a great nation, dominating the world, perhaps? Or were they addressed to a little group of colonies, just emerging from a bloody, but vic- torious struggle with one of Europe's great powers. / By what authority has the Senator from Idaho the right to say that George Washington, idealist, obsessed with the longing to help bring freedom to formerly oppressed individuals, would oppose, today, the entering of a league of nations by his country? One might ask the Senator from Tdaho if George Washington, living today. would not abandon his prin- ciples of over a century ago as to the manner of conducting war, were war necessary. Would Washington cling to the old flint-lock? Would George Washington state his principles on all great subjects today as he stated them over a century ago? Was he so small a man that he would fail to recognize a change in the times. Senator Borah himself said that he did not rely on the discrepancies of statements made in the past by cal speakers—not on what the dent himself has said—in tor's fighting the politi- Presi- the Sena- He him, League. took what was the there before League. It he fought. Would Sgnator Borah himself de- clare today that the principles he now enunciates will be his principles twenty years hence. Would he not qualify by admitting that principles must change with changing times?
