Sherwin Cody was not; he pressed on,

TO A PAL
'Tis oft in the twilight hour
When curtains about me are drawn:
Rested and free from sorrow,
I think of a Pal who's gone.
A pal whose deeds were the kindest.
Whose heart was pure cast as of
gold.
And the thought that runs through my
mind, is,
"Do friendships as ours, e'er grow
cold?"
be the last to minimize the importance
that the former in 'an indirect and
the latter in a more direct way have
upon world peace. In the League the
big powers dominate as they always
have and always will; but the little
powers can now at least be heard.
And now for the first time there is
a formal forum of word opinion and
formal institutions for the authorita-
tive expression and crystallization of
that opinion. Nevertheless, I for one
refuse to vote for the emasculation
of even the paper guarantees of Ar-
ticle X when I am sure that sooner
or later we will join the League any-
how, or at least go so far in that di-
rection as the plan proposes.
My logic is the same as that which
caused the greatest of all American
statesmen to refuse to accept the Re-
servatons of that backward-looking po-
litical manipulator, Henry Cabot
Lodge.
