APPROVAL OF LEAGUE VOICED BY MR. HOLT

Although it did not by any means disclose hitherto unknown facts in regard to the Covenant of the League of Nations," Mr. Hamilton Holt's spech at the Union last night under the auspices of the Woodrow Wilson Club was warmly received by his audience.

Mr. Holt opened his talk with an expression of approval at the formation of a club in the University bearing the ex-President's name, which he believed, it seems, was in anticipation of the verdict of history. He then proceeded to trace through the ages the various attempts and agitations that have been made for some sort of an association or league of nations. These efforts began to reach their culmination when Mr. Taft's League to Enforce Peace met in Philadelphia before the end of the war, and gave to the world its idea of what principles such a league ought to embody.

Mr. Holt then proceeded to tell of the Paris Conference, at which Mr. Wilson made his famous speech in defense of the Covenant of the League. He minutely described the conference room and the more important delegates, and the impression which the ex-President was obviously making on his audience. The British and American drafts of the Covenant had been amalgamated, and the result was a document which embodied the best features of both, and it was this Covenant for which Mr. Wilson strove.
