Speaking of the responsibility of lilt- republican members of the Smalts as to the league of nations ami tilt; ireace treaty, the Indianapolis Star says: "The public does not view the question as involving partisan considerations. Its advocates are to lie found in both parties as are its opponents. Hut the republican party in control of the senate cannot escape responsibility for what that lusty does in respect to the league and treaty. If a few obstructionists are permitted to delay action and to waste time in a filibuster, as is threatened, the republican party will he held to account, if prompt aml acceptable action is taken' the party will get credit for .that, too. It is' within the power of the republican leaders, regardless of the nile-or rain few in both parties, to do whatever the people want with regard to the jiCace and league questions. If the people are disappointed they will hold the party responsible. Senator luidge. Senator Watson and others who are interested in having their party In a right light next fall should noi misjudge the thickness of the ice on which they are now skating. The voters know it is almost a year since the war closed, that the senate has spent months discussing peace and still we have no peace. They want peace and the assurance the league gives that peace will lie permanent. If they do not get it they are not going to blame the president or his party.” TRY THE CLASSIFIED COLUMN
