CASTS His Lot With EEardino

From Tho Tribune Washington Btreou
WASHINGTON, Oct 3. Major Bene-
dict Crowcll former Assistant Sccre-
tary of War and warm admirer Of
President Wilson, in an Interview to-
day declared himself in favor of the
election of Harding and Coolidge and
a Republican Congress at the polls in
November.
Major Crowcll said that he was in
favor of the League of Nations, but
that he preferred t. take his cnances on
getting the league with Senator Hard
ing, rather than with Governor Cox.
"NoW that President Wilson is re-
tiring from active political life" said
Major Crowell, 'it is wise for his sup
portcrs to pause and take stock of the
situation.
II have always favored League Of
Nations and am sorri we did not enter
long ago. The Democratic party. how
ever, has 10 monopoly on the league.
Indeed, the present Democratic Admin
istration has failed to get this country
into the League Of Nations in spite Of
the fact that rs per cent Of the Senate
was in favor of it. Nor does the op-
position to the league lie wholly With
in the Republican party. Many promi-
nent Democrats have consistently op-
posed it.
Confidence in Harding
1T seems evident that Governor Cox
is making many promises regarding the
league which he may not be able to
fulfill Senator Harding is wisely non
committal on Che subject. Word af-
fairs are changing so rapidly that it il
impossible for any man to diagnose
the future and say just what should
be done six months hence TO make Ell
fective the influence of the United
States in world concert dedicated
against armed strife between the great
powers.

obsolete tomorrow. l have every con-
fidence in Senator Harding's judg-
ment ard believe he will do the right

greas. With an administration and q
Congress of the same political faith

tident this problem will be settled

"An efficient administration, in my

ton Senator Harding's election will,

the government was absolutely op-
posite to this. They thought of
Artrica as the light of the world,
as created to lead the world in the
assertion of the rights of peoples
and the rights of free nations; as
destined to set a responsible exam
pie to all the world of what free
government is and can do for the
maintenance of right standards, both
national and international. This
light the opponents of the league
would quench. They would relegate
the United States to q subordinate
role in the affairs of the world.
why should we be afraid of re-
sponsibilities which we are qualified
to sustain and which the whole of
our history has constituted promise
to the world we would sustain? This
IS the most momentous issue that
has ever been presented to the REQ
pie of the United States, and | do not
doubt that the hope of the whole
world will be verified by an absolute
assertion by the voters of the coun-
try Of the determination of the
United States to live up to all the
great expectations which they ere
ated by entering the war and enabl-
ing the other great nations of the
world to bring it to a victorious con-
ciuslon, to the confusion of Prus-
sianism and every thing, that ;.rises
out of Prussianism. Surely VIC shall
not fail to keep the promise sealed in
the death and sacrifice of our incom-
parable soldiers, sailors and ma,ines
who await our verdict beneath the
soil of Franco.

the truth about the League Of Ma
tons tell YOU that Article X of the
covenant of the league would make 1t
possible for other nations to lead us
INTO war, whether we will it by our
own Independent judgment or not.
Jhls is absolutely false There is
nothing in the covenant which N the
least interferes with or impairs the
right of Congress to declare war or
not declare war according to its own
independent Judgment, as our consti-
tuition provides. Those who drew the
covenant of the league were careful
that 1t should contain nothing which
lnterfered with or impaired the con-
stltutlonal arrangements of any of
the great nations which are to
constitute its members. They would
have been amazed and indignant at
the things that are now being igncr-
antly said about this great and sin
cerc document.

LONDON, Oct 3.-The Weekly Dis
patch announces to-day that the resigna-
'tion of five members of the Cabinet is
probable.
The newspaper names Arthur J. Bal
four, Lord President of the Councils;
Edward Shortt, Secretary of State for
Home Affairs; Viscount Milner, Secre-
tary of State for Colonies; Sir Eric
Geddes, Minister of Transport and
Lord Inverforth, Minister of Munitions
The newspaper believes that Bal
four probably only remains to oblige
the Tory party"
Shortt is said to be slated for the
first vacant judgeship. Miner is re-
ported to be wanting to retire for
business reasons. and Lord Inverforth
because the business of munitions
handling is closing down. Geddes is
reported to be considering an offer of
an inviting private position. and only
stayed through August when urged to
do so in the expectation that q new
railway bill would be passed
The Observer to- day also speculates
on the possibility that Balfour will go
to the House of Lords in the interests
of the Irish Home Rule bill. The news
paper adds that although this would
be distasteful to Balfour himself, it
would be "his severest sacrifice to
ratriotisn.."

New-York tribune., 1920-10-04

My Fellow Countrymen:
The issues of the present cam
paign are of such tremendous i'm
portance and of such farreaching
significance for the influence of the
country and the development of its
future relations and I have neces-
sarlly had SO much to do with
their development that | am sure
you will think it natural and proper
that l should address to you a few
words concerning them Every one
who sincerely believes in government
by the people must rejoice at the
turn affairs have taken in regard to
this campaign. This election is to be
genuine national referendum. The
determination of great policy upon
which the influence and authority of
the United States in the world must
depend is not to be left 20 groups of
politicians of either party, but is tc
be referred to the people themselves
for sovereign mandate to their
representatives They are to instruct
their own government what they wish
done.
THE chief question that is put to
you is, of course, this: DO you want
your country's honor indicated and
the Treaty of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve of the
League of Nations as organized and
empowered in the treaty? And do
you wish to see the United States
play its responsible part in it? You
have been grossly mislcd with re-
gard to the treaty, and particularly
with regard to the proposed char
acter OF the League of Nations. bv
those who have assumed the serioas
responsibility Of opposing it. They
have gone so far that those who have
spent their lives, as have spent my
life, in familiarizing themselves with
the history and traditions and poll
cles of the nation, must stand amazed
at the gross ignorance and impudent
nudacity which has led them to at
tempt to invent an 'Americanism' Of
their own which has no foundation
Whatever in any of the authentic
traditions Of the government.
Conceptions of Americarism
"Americanism as they conceive it
reverses the whole process of the
last few tragical years. 1t would
substitute America for Prussia in
the policy of isolation and defiant
segregation. Their conception Of
TIE dignity of the nation and its in
terest is that we should stand apart
and watch for opportunities to adj

selves in no responsibility for the
