BOURNE PROP AGANOA
DENOUNCED BY Cop.

1 NEW YORK, July 30.-In "A bulle-
tin sent today to its branches and
I members throughout the United
! States, the League to Enforce Peace
! declares that the so-called .Repub-
/ lican Publicity association" which is
conducting a propaganda campaign
against the League of Nations. has
no authority to speak for the Repun-
lican party and does not represent.
i'm any way the Republican national
organization. The statement says:
League to Enforce Peace issues
this warning because many persons
have given undue attention to the
pronunciamentos of the Republican
Publicity association in the belief
that they express the official views
of the party organization. The Re-
publican Publicity association is
purely IA private organization. con-,
trolled by a few office holders and
ex-office holders who include the inn
placable enemies of the League of
Nations. Its statements represent the
opinions of the ultra-radical group
among the opponents of the league
covenant.
The chairman and one of the chief
moving spirits in the association is the
Honorable Jonathan Bourne Jr.. ex-
senator from Oregon. Mr.. Bourne
does not even represent the majority
sentiment of his own state, where
both senators. one a Republican and
the other a Democrat. favor ratifica-
tion of the league covenant. 1t is
well known that the association not
only has no authority to speak for |
the Republican party, but through its
attacks on the League |
covenant is causing serious embar-
rassment to the Republican leaders
who are opposing all efforts to make
the league a party issue.
The declarations issued by the Re.
publican Publicity association show /
that this organization or rather its /
and executive committee. for |
ii has no constituency. is opposed TO
