Debate League of Nations.

Indianapolis, April. 18. —Over three hundred members of the Indiana Association of Manufacturers with their annual banquet here heard United States Senator Atlce Pomerene of Ohio and George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia, managing director of the League for American Independence, debate the proposed league of nations. Senator Pomerene, who is a Democrat, argued in favor of the league, while Pepper, a Republican, who, favoring a league to enforce peace, opposed the covenant submitted to the peace conference at Paris, France. The debate was friendly, though earnest, and it developed that both speakers favor a league of nations.
