Senator Carter Glas bitterly criticised the efforts of those who would deprive Pre- dent Wilson of the credit for the establish- ment of the League of Nations,
The liquor question was omitted from the platform, because the Committee did not desire to becloud the issue referring to the Treaty question.

American soldiers." Senator Glass was willing to remit that price in dollars. He
