All except Great Britain will follow in due course of time." This might well be the opinion of an enemy of the whole League idea. It cannot be acceptable to the thousands of Americans who distrusted President Wilson's high-handed action, yet sincerely desire a League.

It would be closer to the truth, the of course detrimental to your argument, to say that you believe that Harding, indorsed by Johnson, Borah, Lodges, Moses, Viereck, and other radical politicians and admittedly pro-Ger- man schemers, will change not only his opposition to any League of Nations, but also the opinion of the leading nations of the world regarding the present League, and will be able to bring about peace in the world, after...
