TAI 7 WARNS
G.O.P.AGA|NST
LEAGUE FIGHT
Former President Says Too
Rigid Opposition Will En-
danger the Party in
Next Elections.
BY ROBERT ]. BENDER.

BY United Press:
WASHINGON, March 11.-Re-
publican supporters of the league of
nations, headed by ex-Pres't William
II. Taft, are warning g. o. p. oppo-
nents of the Wilson covenant against
a too rigid stand. lest they endanger
the party.
1t is now generally admitted that
when the peace treaty comes back
from France. the league of nations
will be part and parcel Of it. The
whole work of drafting the treaty in
Paris has been built on the promise
of a league of nations and prac-
tically every article in some way IS
applicable under league rules.
Hence. il the treaty when com
pleted failed OF ratification in a re-
publican senate because the league
of nations was a part of it, the
whole work of drafting the treaty
would have TO be done over again
md i'm the meantime the treaty
would remain ineffective and a state
OF war would continue, as now.
Would he Responsible.
The party responsible for holding
up ratification of the treaty would
undoubtedly be charged thereafter
by the opposing party with having
prolonged the war.
1t may be that Pres't Wilson had
this situation in mind when he stated
in New York that the league should
not be a party issue and that mo
party in the end would dare TO op-
pose it,"
At any rate, Taft, seeing the dan
ger in a too inelastic stand by g.
o. D. opponents of the league. has
warned them against making the is
sue a party one.
Taft's move and the difference of
opinion existing in both parties have
created the belief here that there is
possibility in 1920, if the peace
treaty is not ratified, of the elector-
ate splitting up into a new alignment
those for and those opposed to
ratification of the league. The fight
would then be with the issue of
moderate internationalism as op-
posed TO a strict nationalism.
Strong Organizations.
In this connection there are now
strong organizations backing both
the elements favoring and opposing
the league, each organization deter
mined to carry the fight to the finish.
Owing TO the fact, however, that
the leading publicans opposing the
Wilson covenant, favor some league,
the hope is expressed by friends in
both the republican and democratic
parties that the president will rec
ommend clarificaticn os questioned
articles so as to remove much of the
opposition and assure the leagues
ratification.

Lack of Cooperation by

Becoming disguseted with the
evident lack OF cooperation upon the
part of the police department with

II any attempt is made to carry
out the threat to refuse acceptance
of the peace treaty and throw the
country into chaos if the terms are
TOO harsh. Germany will find the al
lies representing a firm front.
The choice in such a case prob
ably lies between occupation of Ger
many and continuation of the block
ade. letting the enemy starve until
they are ready to. sign Considering
the comparative contentment in the
present occupied portions OF Ger
