The League and Politics in a Nation's Future
Advocates push a mass meeting at Madison Square Garden to press the Democratic party toward adopting League of Nations membership. Key figures proposed include former President Wilson and Lloyd George, with Gen. Smuts seen as author of the mandate idea. John H. Clarke leads the Nonpartisan Association backing U.S. entry, while Cox warns against tying the league to politics. President Harding's stance reinforces a split view across parties. The piece argues for separating league advocacy from party politics to avoid electoral backlash and to keep the United States out of the league for now.
