Hermit Nation.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, March &c. -. America
would be a hermit nation if Sena-
tors Borah and Reed and other oppo-
nents Of the league Of nations had
their way, according to Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska. today. Hitch
cock spoke before the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce.
1.-THE opposition in the senate will
collapse" said Hitchcock.
Members are not going to follow
any such radical leaders as Borah
and Reed. 1t is generally conceded
that opposition in the senate is large
ly political, and those classed as
opponents now are ready to Join in
support of the plan.
Gin fact, some of them are waiting
only for some slight change (even
the crossing of 1t" or the dotting
of an "i'') to withdraw opposition,
Such men as Borah and Reed want
the United States to draw away to
ourselves and have nothing to do
with the rest of the world. Such a
doctrine is out OF date"

WHY EGYPT
is IN REVOLT
Want SeffGovernment, But VIII Noe
Get Very Far, Being Unable
to Secure Sufficient
Arms.

IBy J. w. T. Mason, Written For
The United Press.l
NEW YORK, March 26.-The sud-
den spread of the spirit OF revolt IN
Egypt is the elimination of many
demands for reforms of the Egyptian
government, starting long before the
outbreak of the world war. Some OF
the pleas have been met by the Brit
ish authorities, but the Egyptians
have never been able to secure a
measure of self-government approxi'
mating that of the overseas common
wealths of the British empire.
This is the ideal which the mod
crates among the Egyptian reform
ers have set out to attain. The more
radical leaders are insisting on COM
plete independence, like the Sim
-Feiners in Ireland.
There is no serious menace in the
military situation, for the Egyptians
cannot secure sufficient arms Tor
prolonged civil strife.
