LEAGUE NOT MADE TEXT
Expenditure In War On Lives

By Democratic Candidate.
(By Associated Press.)

Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 12.-Hon-
orable prevention of war by "arbi-
trament of reason rather than of force
was urged by Gvoernor Cox here to-
day in an address opening the Demo
cratic presidential nominees national
speaking tour Governor Cox did not
make the league of nations the text
of his speech today at the national ri
fle contests, but emphasized the toll
Of war, and declared the people at war
now seek peaceful modes of settle
ment.
Expenditure in the war of lives and
treasure was stressed by the Demo
cratic candidate in his plea for peace
full relations between nations. He said
the world war cost the United States
more than a million dollars an hour
for more than two years. enough to
have carried on the revolutionary war
for thousand years and at that the
United States spent less than one fifth
of the expenditures of the allied side.
IF civilization has not had it's les
son." said Cox, then there is no hope
for it. 1t could not stand such a war
again and survive
He told how death dealing devices
increased between 1914 and 1918 and
said it is staggering to think what the
next war would bring He said the
American soldier already knows the
meaning of modern warfare and that
all rsust have to ponder how such a
thing is possible in the midst of civil
lization.
Cox said he realized that National
Guardsmen are assembled here to in
crease their military efficiency, yet
he was convinced the great mass of
soldiers want to prevent future wars If
it can be honorably done. He said
there will always be National Guard
if only for domestic defense, but that
all hoped that vast armaments may be
made thing of the past.
Cox praised the National Guards
mems record in war, and said many
failed to receive commissions won by
their bravery and declared belated
justice now would Be accorded them.
He elaborated on his theme of gov
ernment to aid ex-service men in his
acceptance speech. He declared many
met obstacles on returning to civil life
and that the government should as
sist them wherever possible. He also
cited the vaule of American marks
and expressed the hope that
will continue to be a nation
Of sportsmen, devoted to propagation
of wild life and to building health and

Let no one think the boys went
"over there and gave their services
and manv of them their liver,
for the purpose of establishing a
league Of nations Such thing had
not been conceived when they were
called into the service. They went
because American lives were being
sacrificed, American rights challenged
and her honor being trampled under
foot. They went in defense of their
country and we mourn for those who
fell as sacrifice Tor their country.
Had the Versailles treaty been pre-
sented to the boys as the only purpoee
in asking for their services there
wouldn't have been enough enlist
ments to make corporal's guard.
The friends of the boys who fell in
the World War, and sleep in foreign
graves have the consolation of know
ing that they fell in defense of their
country, the noblest cause for which
one may die. What would be the
feeling OF those whose friends had
made the supreme sacrifice to "pre.
serve the territorial integrity and DO.
litical independence" of some semi
civilized tribe in Europe, in Asia or
Africa. in war perhaps inspired by
avarice or for revenge for inherited
grievances. Yet this is just what
Article 10 of the league would de-
mand. No one should be deceived by
the prelude to the covenant. This
truly proclaims noble purpose but
many q vicious law is couched under
worthy title What we are interest
ed in is the obligations actually i'm
posed upon US in the treaty. Let US
truly mcu1n for those that have al
ready fallen in defense of their own
country but 1T US not bind ourselves
to plant American graves all over the
world simply for the purpose OF "pre-
serving the territorial integrity of
the waflike races of foreign coun
tries.

ers are foxy, and promise every relief
ina agiDable to the farmers, but the
leaders know that the promises can
never be fulfilled. Their real purpose
is to play the farmers for suckers and
use them to help get control SO they
can establish system of communism.
The speakers know that this would
not be popular with the farmers, 60
here they harp on cutting out the
profits of the middle man. It needs
no political organic alton for this if it
is deemed advisable. The Farmers
Union is working along that line and
is doing more than the non.partisan
league can ever hope to do thre ugh

concerned every legislature for years
has been cotrolled by farmers and
every law that they wanted has been
