For of Maxi Rae Weygand major George Fielding Eliot writes in the current Issue of life he Weygand has not forgot ten the strategy of Foch.

It is a remarkable cataloguing of can Ada s yearly literary output All suitably Departmentalized and with astute criticism of the major sections of writing. The report for the year 1939 is just to hand and it is a highly satisfactory look for the student of Canadian literature to work with. Indeed on All counts letter in Canada is a valuable compilation. There is nothing like it in the country. One can at a moment s notice learn the accumulation of Effort in any one Branch of the Dominion s literary Endeavor and rapidly evaluate that accumulation.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted he is Able to Succour them that Are tempted. He foresaw the attitude taken by the Senate would nol be justifiable unless the other pow ers refused to recognize the modifications in the covenant desired by the United states. He explained thai the Central idea in the Republican position on the league should be that deadlock resulted from Wilson s perverse refusal to negotiate for consent of other Powers to americanization of treaty but that our new administration will secure that influenced perhaps by this pres sure Harding on August 23 made a statement to the pro leagues that he was for a league of nations which would take the Best covenant and excise the Kooi made a Campaign speech.

Perhaps thousands of foiling hands whore actions of the United Stales Senate n rejecting the league and the coming of the second great War. But there is much to suggest that the Are now. As Waller Lippmann says awake with no probability that they will go to sleep begin to ask themselves questions and will search their consciences and the records for the answers. Learn anew of them will learn anew things about which it has been Comfort Able to be forgetful. As for in Evans Hughes Herbert Hoover president Lowell of Harvard and president Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia. Doubts about hard ing s position persisting Root wrote to a Friend that Harding had Given assurances of his agreement with the statement. Harding was elected by an overwhelming majority. His supporters according to vaulter Lippmann included men and women who thought a Republican Victory was the most practical Way to procure the As they search the records Many league plus those who thought it the surest Way offered to obtain an amended league 1 the Day after his election hard stance that the Republican party whose chiefs were responsible for the destruction of the treaty did not have their action approved by the voters of the United states at the presidential election of 1920, As is commonly assorted. In the election of Harding As president the Issue of the league was kept out of the contest by assurances made on behalf of the Republican candidate which were afterwards repudiated. There is certainly says or. Philip c. Jessup in his life of Elihu Root in the Oft repeated slogan thai the election of 1920 was a referendum on the league in which the american people emphatically repudiated the facts As Sel Forth by or. Jessup May be summarized. In january 1920, Wilson agreed to five reservations to the covenant desired by the republicans but when the final vote came in March the affirmative Vole of 49 As against a negative Vole of 35 did not give the required majority and the treaty was rejected. More re publicans than democrats voted for the treaty. Root who was the elder statesman of the Republican party put himself on record thai the Senate s refusal to ratify the treaty of Versailles does not mean a policy of he tried unavailing by to have the party put into its platform a Reso Lution which while critical of the covenant would make a Declara Tion that the Republican party stands for agreement among the nations to preserve the peace of the Harding As Republican Candi Date tried to upholders and please both the foes of the the league. Root who was in Europe had cabled in july that it was very unwise to declare the league dead which he had heard Harding to do and indicated was planning that after ing declared that the league was dead. Or. Jessup. In summing up Root s later attitudes to the league writes perhaps it was partly loyalty which prevented Root and others of the thirty one from denouncing hat Ding s later inaction regard to the league. They yielded too much to the hostile bloc in the Senate. As years went by and political passions in the United slates provoked bitter recriminations against Woodrow enl of its award. In his acknowledgement he made several telling observations one of which was in these terms we have allowed in sensate prejudice camouflaged by futile phrases to appear but falsely appear to represent the True heart of the american people with All its idealism Wilh in breadth of human sympathy with its Strong desire that our country should do its share for peace and happiness and Noble life in All the world.

This includes the Best use of Canada s economic strength. Ii is an exceedingly important part of our avar Effort but one which apparently is not Well understood in some quarters. If we Are to divert a considerable part of the National of All product to War purposes then we cannot spend As Large a proportion As before for Ordinary purposes. This applies particularly to All those who Are above the subsistence level. They can save a great Deal without suffering. Kit is disappointing to see this necessary saving and diversion to War purposes scoffed at by the Manitoba Commonwealth a .
