(Australian &. N.Z. Cable Association.)

New York,

March 20

At Boston. Senator Lodge and Prcfesosr A. L. .Lowell, president of Hai*vard University, publicly debated the merits of the League of Nations. Senator Lodge attacked the covenant on the ground that it would be productive of further misunderstandings. It was necessary to include large 'reservations respecting the validity of Monroeism. America was unwilling to despatch her sons to fight other nations' battles.

Mr Lowell contended that • the new world order made the League imperative. Its defects were easily remedied.
