To the list of 15,309 American clergymen who have taken a firm stand for the league of nations, is now added the name of his eminence, James Cardinal Gibbons, who bases his support chiefly upon the encyclical of-Pope Benedict declaring that all states "should unite In one league." The distinguished prelate, in an authorized interview with Colonel Stephen Bonsai of the Baltimore Bun, published today, declined to discuss political conditions, but talked freely about his earnest desire for world peace. Church bodies and Christian statesmen generally have put themselves behind the league of nations as a tremendous moral issue.

In a recent number of "The Christian Work," it was disclosed that a petition had been signed by. 15,309 clergymen, urging prompt ratification of the peace treaty and the entrance of the United States into the league of nations.
