A DISAPPOINTMENT.

The sudden news that an important speaking trip will prevent ex-President Taft from speaking to members of the University two weeks hence on the League of Nations will disappoint very many students who hoped to hear him. Students, in fact most people in the country, are in need of just such a stimulus.

We are confident that the earnest desire of the majority of students here for a direct and authoritative explanation of the League situation would make it more worth while, if the Student Council and the University authorities are so minded, to secure another speaker. Of course Mr. Taft is the most prominent available leader of constructive thought on this subject. But there is no dearth of other fair-minded and serious Americans who have studied the problem. Perhaps one or more of them would be glad to address a collegiate League of Nations mass-meeting.
