T. E. BURTON IS FOR A LEAGUE

Also Demands That Germany Pay for WOrst Crime in History. New York, March 11.—A plea for the creation of a league of nations and a demand that Germany be compelled to pay an Indemnity “to the limit of her power,” In part reparation for itthe most frightful crime of all history,” were made by Theodore E. Burton, former United States senator from Ohio, in an address here last night at a meeting of the Canadian club. Mr. Burton said that although George Washington had advised against entangling alliances, times had been so changed by the development of communication facilities that countries today .are closer together than were the colonies of George Washington's day. He insisted that a league of nations was needed to keep the peace of the world.
