LOCAL CITIZEN PENS PROTEST TO STUDENTS
S. C. PROFESSORS TO T
Nation-Wide Referendum to Held on League Question January 1 3
Be
3418^ S. Hope St.,
Los Angeles, Dec. 3, ’19.
I was just noticing your un-American, unpatriotic and unreasonable telegram to Woodrow Wilson expressing regret that the “treason-saturated, made-in-England” League of Nations had been turned down by the Senate. ’Tis deplorable that a body of students, supposedly representing an average amount of gray matter, should encourage treason against our own country. Luckily our “American Statesmen” at Washington fully understand that John Bull influence and finance are behind your efforts. You have chosen a most appreciate subject as receptacle of your “regrets.” (Signed) N. M. MELROSE.
The above message, written on the back of a postal card addressed to the “Student Body,” University of Southern California, was received on the local campus this week.
Just before the Thanksgiving day recess a telegram expressing the regret of U. S. C. students at the failure of the Senate to ratify the peace treaty was sent to President Wilson. The message was adopted at a meeting of the students held in the chapel and was signed by numerous student body officers. It was published several days later in the Los Angeles Examiner, where the eagle eye of Mr. Melrose spied it.
