German Republic
Seeks Diplomats
By CARL D. GR0AT

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
BERLIN. (By Mail.)-The new
republic is finding selection of diplo-
mats real job. Of course, it isn't
entirely necessary that Germany
make out whole slate of ambassa-
doris and ministers just yet, particu-
larly if entente nations only send here
charge d'affaires. But, the policy of
the government will probably be, in
such an event, to send out charges
and consuls-the charge perhaps be-
ing the man intended FOR the higher
post of minister or ambassador when
full diplomatic relations with the out
side world are resumed.
Germany's difficulty arises from
the fact that some of the men of
the old diplomatic service would be
persona non grata at certain capitals,
while the new regime so far has not
produced many big prospects of am
bassadorial size.
So far, in connection with the
American ambassadorship, only two
names have been much mentioned
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-09-20

Maximillian Harden and DR.. Solf, the
former colonial minister and later
foreign minister in the closing days
Of last year.
Harden hasn't a chance to go to
the Washington post. He has made
more or less of a name for himself
in America-but that doe>n't count
for anything with the present sitra-
ton. In fact, he isn't taken seri-
ously by the present government in
that connection.
On the other hand, Solf has consid-
cradle backing for the place. Solf
is a man of liberal tendencies. He
appeared during the war as an OPP
ponent of many of the governments
policies; and as foreign minister last
winter stuck strongly for strict ad-
hercnce to the Fourteen Points" in
application of the peace to Germany.
He speaks English with scarcely an
accent, is favorably known in many
prominent American and English
quarters, has travelled extensively,
met Presidents Taft, Roosevelt, Nc
Kinley, and has been a close student
of President Wilson's policies. He
and Col. House were friendly before
the war.
Solf looks, at first glimpse, some

what American Secretary Of Interior
Lane, though he is of heavier build
and of more rugged countenance than
the American.
Solf distinguished himself-in Ger
many at least-last winter by his
open breach with Hasse, leader of the
independents. Solf declined to asso-
ciate with Hasse, holding that as lead
err of the Independents he was cog
infant of big "slush fund" which
the Russian Bolsheviks had placed to
the credit of the radicals here in
Berlin. This caused quite sensa-
ton and helped undoubtedly, in for
eign countries, to show that there
was no government alliance or sym
pathy with the Lenme- Trotzky re-
gime.
He is of about middle age, active,
diplomatic, highly educated and ac-
cordin to many substantial Ger
mans he would be good representa-
tive Of the new republic.
The British and Frcnch pests do
not even have any "amongthose-
mentioned" people, 1t isn't a case
here of difficulty in finding places
"for all the deserving"-but rather
of finding deserving" and capable
men for the places.

Mr.. Pepper then described the work OF
the League for the Preservation of
American Independence. He charged
that 1t had to work without the sup
port Of the big international bankers
who would welcome the guarantees OF
the United States for their foreign Sc
curities, or OF the big business man
who would as soon do business under the
Prusslan as under the American eagle.
These persons. he declared, were the
supportera OF Mr.. TaftB League to En-
force Peace. He read from a bulletin
of that society list OF names includ-
ing Edward A. Filene of Boston.

facturer: w. L. Douglas, the shoe man

He appealed for small subscriptions
from those whom Mr.. Taft calls the
little business mem" to help fight the
league.

consciences In determining their poll
cies those who hdfH their honor higher
than their advantage, do not need ALL
ances. You need alliances when you are
not strong, and you are weak only when
you arc not true to yourself. You are
weak only when you are in the wrong !;
you are weak when you are afraid TO
do the right; you are weak only when
you doubt your cause and the majesty
OF a nations might asserted
1.-THE time of test is here. and the
President has repudiated his own doc
trine. He now insists upon permanent
alliances and indissoluble copartnership.
Time to Talk Plainly.
THE time has come for plain speech.
The American people have a right to
know the facts. The man or the paper
who willingly misleads the American
people in this great crisis of our coun-
try's fate Ia the basest of criminals.
The people are being told that this
league will result in international dis
armament The makers of the league
know better. England has increased
her standing army to one million men
and has declared for CONSUMPTION Tho
army Of France will be as large as In
the past. The army OF Italy will be
greater than II was before the war.
England has refused to reduce her feet
by a single vessel.
"The American Executive stands
holding in his hand a bill of world
peace, but back OF him Is the Secretary
Of War demanding a standing army OF
100000 men; and behind him Ia the
Secretary of the Navy demanding the
greatest appropriation ever asked for
the building of n battle fleet either in
time of war or peace
The sum total Of the results of this
league will be found In the fact that
America shall have embroiled herself
in all OF the wars of the world and made
herself a party to every war that may
be fought. All this I denounce as a
base betrayal Of the Republic"
Senator Johnson's first ground for OBJ
lection against the league Is that 1t puts
| control still another step away from
tho people. not in the hands OF their
| repre sentatives, but in the hands OF rep
| resentatives OF their rulers sitting far
away in secrecy.
ut is not a League of Nations to
prevent war" he declared. ut is a
| league OF armed nations in a gigantic
| war trust. In Its very creation II had
been stripped OF every idealistic purpose
It ever had. II contains within itself
the germs of many wars. and, worse
than that, II rivets, as in the Shantung
| decision, the chains Of tyranny upon
millions of people and cements for all
time unjust and wicked annexatlons. II
| Is a trust OF existing present power. II
win never prevent war: It will sanctify
power in new. a terrible and a sinister

after our muddllng In Paris already have
come secretly to despise AIS.
I'VE do not need them as partners" no
said. They require us. They yield TO
us nothing they can yield to US nothing.
We give to them everything. We can
protect our borders for centuries to come.
Just as we have in the century past. The
Lord has given us our geographical iso-
lation, and the Lord has denied Just that
thing to the different races OF Europe.
And while our internationalists in behalf
Of the League of Nations pirate OF the
fact that we cannot longer remain iso-
lated, they forget that the geography OF
the situation remains immutable.

He asserted that if those who drew
the league project had been sincerely
DESTROYS of preventing war they would
have provided for popular referendum
on the declaration OF war. One nation.
he admitted, cannot submit war to a
referendum while possible adversaries
unbound by such restriction might
spring upon her. But, he insisted, that
had the referendum been provided uni
versally the league would have been
the means OF subjecting war to the will
would then occur only on the rarest
and clearest occasions.
Then plunging into the issues involved
he promised he would diecuss only those
points which presented a case so clear
that any member of tho Senate might

attacked the "un- American Monroe Doc
trine." immigration and other provisions
affecting internal policy and the Monroe
Doctrine. and charged that the propa-
ganda for the secretly drawn covenant
of the league was being financed by mill
ions of dollars raised by taxes.

that our recent national propaganda had
