Action May Cause Big
gest Var in History
Special Correspondence


SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 24.-"If this
treaty Of peace and the covenant are
adopted. look out for the greater wa-
of Japan to subjugato China" says
Senator Reed Smoot in a letter to an
editor, published to-day, explaining his
stand on league Of nations reservations
and the Shantung award. The editor
had suggested that the Utah Senator's
position was disappointment to
Church and State and might result in
his defeat in the next election. Reply
ing, Mr.. Smoot said he would not be
surprised to see Mr.. Wilson finally
come out in favor Of the reservations
for which the Senator stands.
II do not believe God had anything
to do with the Shantung matter" says
Mr.. Smoot in the course Of his letter.
"Nor do | believe thai He was pleased
with the actions of Mr.. Wilson affect
ing Fiume or the Saar."
The Senator says also that he has
read many passages in the revelations
of the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith,
concerning the destiny Of this nation,
and continues:
81 cannot understand why you take
it for granted that the league of ma
tions will do more for the world than
the teachings Of the Saviour have been
able to do. / want you to know that I
am doing what believe is my duty by
my church, my country and my God. |

prayed over this question as much as
any member of the church, and think
have studied it with more care than
any member of the church. Ger
tain reservations must be made i'll or
der to maintain our present form of
government, and to enable America to
fulfil the destiny as God intended her
to do.
"The covenant attempts to transfer
the sovereign will of the United
States from the people and their gov
ernment to council and assembly of
nations. No one can successfully de-
fend the basis of representation as
provided for in the league.
LET us by our example, our
patriotism, our love of country, our
willingness to fight for righteousness
and against evil, for liberty and
against autocracy, Alnericanize Europe
rather than, under the league OF ma
tlons, Europeanize America.
The Shantung settlement as pro-
vided in the peace treaty is inde-
fensible. Shantung was given to

thoflty than Senator Williams, of
Mississippi.
"If this treaty of peace and the COW
enant are adopted look out for the

Japan to subjugate China
For months my mail brought me

5000 Anti-Bolshevik
Russians ira Archangel
Facing Red Massacre

PARIS, Aug. 22.--The peace confer
ence recently has been discussing plans
for the protection of the 10000 anti
Bolshevik Russians in Archangel and
along the northern coast of Russia
after the departure of the British
forces, which are rapidly moving out.
Thus far, however, no plan has been
agreed upon, and the Russians who as
sisted the Allied forces against the
Bolsheviki apparently are doomed to
massacre The commander of the Arch
angel Russian forces has asked for
1000 volunteers to aid him
Peace conference delegates assert
that it would be impossible to provide
sufficient ships TO remove the Arch
angel anti Bolshevik population, even
II the Russians desired to leave. Most
OF the population, 1t is asserted, do not
desire to quit their homeland, as thew
would have no place to 60.

British Writer Foresees
Gain in Export Trade
Trend Of Events Not All in
Favor of Z. S., He
Saws

LONDON, Aug. PA careful sur
vey OF the trade situation does not
confirm the view prevalent that the
trend of events is all in favor of
Americas export trade, according to
the writer of a special article to which
THE Daily Mail" gives much prom
lnence this morning, and concerning
which it says editorially that the great
rush of imports into Great Britain
seems to be ceasing and that exporta-
tion on considerable scale is about
to begin.
The writer of the special article says
the British government chose Septera-
Der for the withdrawal of import
restrictions to accord with the arrival
in this country of an unprecedented
stream of shipping which has been
loading foodstuffs in Australasia for
Great Britain
"America has been pouring goods
into Europe" says the writer, "but the
rate of exchange now is against Ameri-
can importers who, with heavy com
mitments, are not pleased at the out
look for their trade and are not over
joyed by the removal of the British
restrictions"

Mr. Sague. "This Shantung affair is

must stand for hands off in China, and
must back the Chinese in their struggle
for freedom'"
Mr. Sague called the attention of his
hearers to the New York policemen
who were present, and mentioned the
fact that policemen in Shanghai were
not Chinese, but foreigners

Chinese and unite to rid your country
of this interference ?" he asked.

Society, and Mr.. Humphrey urged the
Chinese to join the society.
