Plainly its rejection by the d States would be dictated only by the interests of America. While 1 would regret the absence of American representatives from the commission on reparation and the lack of Amer- ican influence on deliberations, 1 be- lieve the moral victory accomplished by the rejection of the treaty would be zlmost preferable, both for the benefit of mankind and the restora- tion of peace. “The longer the senate debates the treaty, the better chance Americans will wve to acquaint themselves with the true inwardness of this pernicious document, which in its present state is destined fo be banefully fateful for; the whole world.” Herr Schuecking _declared the treaty as it now stands i; “merely ot instrument of one-sided imperialistic politics and directly the opposite of President Wilson's. peace, which would bedictated by righteousness.” “Take, for instance” he said, “the provision which gives Englands de- pendencies one vote each.

Former President William H. Taft president of the league, presided. The league's statement follows: “The defeat of ratification has been received by the country with surprise and indignation. The people want want a league of nations to guard the veace.

With like unanimity they now stand behind the treaty. “Shall the small minority who op- pose a league of nations in any form defeat ratification? Shall fifteen sen- ators decide where America shall stand in this world crisis? ~Eighty senators have shown by their votes| that they favor tiie great principle of; the league of nations.

Your interests, your welfare, the honor and the future of your country are involved. Your will is the supreme command for the men in Washington entrusted by your votes with guiding the nation along | the paths of peace and victory. “The allied nations established dur- ing the war a practical union which is being succecded by the League of Nations. To refuse to join this league is to lose numberless benefits, and to invite the development of a league that will be hostile to us in feeling and policy. ‘The League of Nations gives the promise of a world cooperating for the purposes of peace and protecting itself by concerted action against war and the threat of war. The ideal is American. “The men and women who gladly dedicated their song and their sub- stance to the cause of obtaining peace through the defeat of the German menace refuse to believe that they have made an empty sacrifice. They demand that the senators harmonize their differences. Refusal to do so will defy and betray the pecple of this count by whom they were eclected and to whom they must answer. “The treaty should be ratified at the earifest possible moment after the senate reconvenes on December 1. In the name of thousands of Americans who have died to bring peage and end war, and of millions of Americans who have toiled and sacrificed to that end, we call upon the senate'to forget prejudices and partisanship and agree upon a 'resolution of ratification couched in terms that will permit the other signatories of the treaty to ac- quiesce in the conditions of our rati- fication.” ADMIRAL MILLO CONDEMNED FOR JOINING D'ANNUNZIO Rome.
