"It la beyond doubt,'' say* he, "that the league depended largely on America for its Irdtial strength and success. America could have brought Ui Uie league the influence and renources absolutely needed today. • • • 1 hope the time will come when the United Slates will appreciate the position it occupies." Had Gen. Smuts followed the debates in the Senate on the league of nations he would usderstsnd that the United States fully appreciates the position It occupies ta the eyes of Europe. The sentiment there is "Let Uncie Sam do I:,'' a sc! erne exposed at every point of the Republican attack on the league idea, and now admitted by Gen. Smuts Use.. Opponof the league have been convinced from the start that the man power and material wealth of the United States looked to by foreign powers to re- - them of the Inconvenience aud cost of defending their owu borders from external aggression; in lacl. supporters of the league ta this country have said a* much. Ever, {’resident Wilson himself has repeatedly mentioned the “supreme sacrifice" that this country would make if it entered the league. The American pvoplo lull)' 'appreciate'' their position in Ui* world today, and at the elecUcna ii.
