FRANCE STATES
WOMAN PENNED
FRENCH LETTER
Distinguished Writer Pro-
posed League Of Ma.
tions Change.

Chicago. Oct. 2o.-The letter re-
ceived from France by Senator
Joseph I. France, Of Maryland, pro-
posing Q change In the organisation
Of the present League Of Nasfons
were from . woman and NOT .
man, the senator said today.
The proposal dealt chiefly with
desirability to calling IAN interna-
tional convention Of friends Of
peace" he said.
Senator France, however, said
the offer was very much the same
as those made to Senator Harding
and that although the writer said
she believed he was expressing the
views Of the French people, the
senator said the government OF
France was in no way connected
with the affair.
"A distinguished woman writer
Of France made the offer to me-.
he said. "She is a member of an
organization which is working
quietly among the thinkers of her
nation in order to form body, in
connection with the United States,
which will give subject nations a
definite chance for self-government
as soon as they have proved their
capability.
There does not seem to be gen.
orally known in this country that
the Labor party Of Great Britain,
and the workers of France are
strongly opposed to the League Of
Nations, as 1t Is at present consti-
tuted.
Various other bodies in other
European nations endeavored to
have inserted a clause in the Yer
sailles treaty which would give
subject nations a position in rela-
tion to the great power to which 1t
belonged analogous to that existing
between the Philippine Islands and
the United States.
The Imperialistic officials who
formed the great council that drew
up the League of Nations refused
to permit the change in that clause.
Its proponents Of those day are
now working quietly to secure a
new league. I have had letters
from the Lawyers Association of
Calcutta. many parsons in Ireland,
and other centers Of subject ma
tions indicating that the movement
is growing for a new covenant that
will really govern the world"
Senator France said that he did
not wish to make known the name
OF the woman writer, as 1t might
make trouble for her with her own
government.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Speciai 20 The Argus.)

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 20.-Wil-
liam Howard Taft in his first politi-
cal speech in this campaign gave
to his audience here lengthy ex-
PLANTATION OF why he has not joined
with other pro-league Of nations
Republicans in supporting Governor
Cox and why he confidently believes
the election Of Senator Harding
will mean Americas entrance into
the present League of Nations.
Here Is an excerpt from q steno-
graphic copy Of the address:
''Mr. Harding's attitude upon the
league has been this: That in an
earnest desire to help the other
nations he was willing to vote for
the league with Republican reser-
vations and he did SO twice. In an
ticipation Of executive responsible
ity, however, and initiative, he does
not wish to submit the Wilson
league to the senate. He prefers to
negotiate with the leading powers
now In the league to revise and
amend the league by an agreement
with those powers before sub
mitting the matter to the senate. In
his speech Of Aug. % and in his
speeches at Indianapolis and
Greencastle, Ind, this last week he
has made it clear that this country
should help in an association tc
avoid war and that he is willing to
bring about a modified or revised
league avoiding those features ol
the Wilson league to which he haa
made objection. His insistence ii
that the league should center
around q court of justice, and Mr.
Roots international court Of justice
furnishes a basis for his proposal

| Impressions that Mr.. Harding
has ascrapped' the league or ha,
'repudiated' it are grossly unfair
expressions. He has vigorously op.

Doctrine provision but he has mo-
repudiated other provisions ant

posed any league or was opposed tt
