It is a far shot from this Quaker campus to the United State
Senate, but nevertheless friends, did you ever stop to think that the obstructing
of the legislature that is to bring about the Treaty of Peace and the
establishment of the League of Nations should be of vital importance to each of
us? Leaving out religious doctrines, though the proposed League is a step
forward, to defeat it or amend it so as to leave the United States a part of it
but yet independent of it is to throw away the billions of dollars, and what is
more important, the 75,000 young Americans who gave their all in the belief
that by doing so they were helping to make the world a safe place in which to
live. Can we allow a few senators, who are willfully blind to the fact that our
place in the sun can be better field as a member of the League of Nations than
as the Big Stick of the Western Hemisphere, break the unwritten troth that is
ours with those who lie in Flanders’ fields?
