But every moment it must be borne in mind that one vote more than one-third of the Senate can keep this country from joining the League. Every State therefore must be enlight ening. The enlightening is to be accomplished by distributing million« ¢ of copies of the speeches of President Wilson and ex-President Taft and by sending thousands of speakers to reach people in every corner | of the United States. This is the right spirit and the right example. | Quiescent approval of the proposed covenant is not eaough Organizers are already at work forming a league to fight The League. ‘There must be something stronger than defense. There must be any active forward movement among supporters of the covenant. ‘They | must organize and march ahead in cohorts that increase in siz until they are overwhelming.
