REV. MITCHELL SAYS LEAGUE IS NECESSARY

That a condition parallel in a small way to that existing in Europe at the present time was prevalent in the United States immediately following the close of the Revolutionary war was the statement of the Rev. A. F. Mitchell of the South Eighth street Friends' church Sunday morning during a discourse upon the league of nations. The minister said, in substance that the league was one of the primary steps In the establishment of a democracy throughout the world. Considerable unrest existed at the close of the Revolution owing to the fact that several of the states considered the establishment of a republic as surrendering their sovereignty. New York was one of the states that held out longest against the republic, which was considered at that time as radical as a democracy does to Europe today, the minister said. The pastor analyized the league of nations as the best solution of the problem presented by the condition of affairs in Europe.
