delegation, a resolution drawn by
Lord Robert Cecil, member of the

mans until the next harvest. payment

and other products which Germany
has and the allies want

The agreement reached between the
British. French and American mem
bers of the council leads to the ex-
pectat tion that the council will accept
the settlement tomorrow and that the
negotiations at Spa will be resumed.
The council today took final action
on food relief measures for Bohemia
and other sections of Austria, which
had been interrupted by the closing
of the frontier by the Italians. A
committee was named on which Dr.
silvio Crespi, the Italian food and
transportation minister, will be a
member with Herbert c. Hoover, di-
rector general of the interallied re-
lief organization. and Lord Robert

this Is untrue. The allied delegates

. ISSUE ON LEAGUE.
Likely to Offer Substitute
Based on Distinctly Amer
ican Doctrine.
ASK TAFT OF HIS STAND

Chairman Hays of the republican ma,
tional committee is declared to have
placed the national organization of the
republican party on record as to the
league of nations plan in speech
delivered at republican rally in ST
Paul last night. according to dispatches
received here.
Supreme nationaiism as against in
standardization, was the keynote OF
the declaration of the national chair
man, which, it was explained, is to be
a slogan for the republican campaign,
Chairman Hays definition of the
attitude of the national party or
as party doctrine until otherwise con-
strued by national convention, was
quoted to be as follows:
"Will Accept No Substitute"
while we seek earnestly and
prayerfully for methods lessening fu-
ture wars and will go far indeed in
an honest effort to that end. we will
accept no indefinite internationaliza-
tion as a substitute for fervent Amer
lean nationalism."
This exposition of the national man
agement's position on the league OF
nations plan conforms closely in
spirit to the declarations of leading
republicans in the Senate. 1t runs on
all fours with Senator Borah's de-
mand for specific exemption of the
Monroe doctrine from the leagues s
operations; it is germane to the OBJ
jections raised against the league by
Senators Knox and Lodge and ex-
presses the essence of the points
urged by Charles E. Hughes.
