Senator Places Little Value on
Preachers' Views <m Treaty
and League
The United States Senators have
for months past received' thousands
of letters, principally signed" by
clergymen, and professors, urging
the immediate adoption of the
treaty and league of nations, accord
ing to Senator Sherman, of Illinois.
These letters from pastors and
professors claim to represent the.
consensus of opinion.'
Senator Sherman yesterday com
mented: <
"Now. while I respect a clergy
man's opinion, I have more respect
for it in spiritual matters than I
have in civil affairs.
"If those who give their attention
to foreign relations and the laws
of our country cannot safeguard
our American institutions, in civil
?? j ' i. _?
essentials better than a doctor of
-divinity, we ought to abolish Con
gress and turn it over to the clergy,
?as in ancient times when the
church and state were one."
