Senator Smoot Tells Utah Editor
They Preclude Hope That Wars
Will Be Prevented.
By the A*soci?t?d Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. August 2S.
?Revelations given to the Prophet
Joseph Smith, as recorded in the doc
trines and covenants, Book of Mor
mon. preclude any hope that the rati
fication of the league of nations will
prevent future wars, declares United
States Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
In a letter to C. N. Lunn, jr., editor
of a newspaper at Mount Pleasant,
Utah.
Senator Smoot's letter is written In
reply to a communication from the
editor in which the latter expressed
the belief that the Utah senator*s
stand for reservations would defeat
him at (he next election.
"I would consider that I was vio
lating my oath of office If I failed to
vote for the suggested reservations,"
Senator Smoot wrote. "Let me tell
you that it would not surprise me to
see President Wilson, whom you
think has been directed by Inspira
tion, approve of the reservations that
I have outlined. I have no ddubt but
that the controlled Associated Press
would put the question In sbch a way
as to make it appear as a complete
victory on the part of the President.
"1 cannot understand why you take
it for granted that the league of na
tions will do more for the world than
the teachings of the Savior have been
able to do. 1 do want yon to knw that
I am doing what I believe Is mv duty
to my church, to my country and to
my God. I would not do otherwise if
It cost me every vote In Utah."
