WORLD PEACE
liOSTON, Oct, 28— The Trustees
of World Peace Foundation, the mill
ion-dollar endowment established in
P.»*0 by the late Edwin Ginn, have un
animously adopted a declaration that
American entry into the League of
Nations can not be decided by the'No
vember (dection. The statement says:
“The problem of the organization
of the world for peace is greater than
any man or any body of men. Al -
though the ratification of the treaty
of Versailles, with or without reserva
tions, was prevented by the failure of
the President and the Senate to agree,
nevertheless, whatever political party
may come into power, it will find that
he interest, the conscience and the
sense of duty of the American people
will require the nation to take its part
in the essential work of establishing
and preserving the peace of the world.
“The World Peace Foundation was
•
created to promote the organization of
the world for the prevention of war.
The Trustees of this Foundation be
lieve that the only practical way of
achieving that result is by joining the
existing League of Nations, with such
modifications, if any, as the wisdom
of our statesmen may thing proper for
the welfare of the United States. We
have assurance that foreign govern
ments will welcome the United Stater
• *
with any such modifications,as it may
think necessary.”
The Board of Trustees include both
democrats and republicans. Their de
claration is signed by William H. P.
Faunce , president of Brown Univer
sity; George W. Anderson; Sarah
Louise Arnold; Professor George H.
Blakeslee of Clark University; Step
