Kiven the decision as to the number
of troops, but that is not the point.
It is said; the objection is against
sending any United States troops to
participate in the affairs of Uurope.
Senators realize that to be the
keystone of the entire structure of
the league of nations; if the league
cannot send armed forces to carry
out its mandates what Is the use of
J giving ultimatums? it may be asked,
tbev admit. Around this proposition
will probably center the fiercest
debate, the alternative to its ac[
eeptance being rejection of the whole
i plan of a league of nations.
Senator Johnson, of California,
said: "I am studying the league of
; nations as an American?a selfish,
; provincial little American. if you
please, but with my whole thought
foi mv own country. I am only an
American, for America first."
