The Speech Upon the Treaty


On Saturday Senator Harding - 70
make q speech upon the League e
Nations and stating his position and
that % the Republican party upon all
our foreign relations. The country
awaits the senator's speech upon
these matters with keen interest =
will be the most important address
the Republican candidate has made
since his speech Of acceptance.
In preparing this speech Senator
Harding has been conferring with
many man who are IN q position %
give him information having q bear
ing upon all the problems in our
foreign relations which this country
will have 70 solve. He has discussed
the legal questions involved with
such men as Charles E Hughes who
is admittedly well qualified 10 pass
upon them. He has been locking
upon the matter from every angle
and has sought the views OF many of
MS colleagues in the United States
Senate, and OF distinguished men
from ali parts Of the country. On
Saturday. il is anticipated he will
give the people a statement as 20 the
conclusions he has arrived at.
The League Of Nations is an i'm
portant but not the most important
issue in this campaign. President
Wilson wants 70 have il regarded as
the only issue, and Governor Cox
seems inclined to accept il as such.
There is good reason for this atti-
tude on the part of the Democratic
leaders. If the people could be made
10 talk only about the League OF
Nations, they would overlook some
OF the many things they might other.
wise discuss. many Of which the
Democratic party would be we'll
pleased IL they did overlook.
The Republican candidate FOR
President and the party which he
leads In this campaign are not a, Ill
oesirious Of lodging this issue. The
wilson league, as many call il. ap-
pears TO them TO be something like a
milestone which has'been hung abou,
the neck Of Governor Cox which is
quite certain to result in his over
whelming defeat when all the people
come 70 understand it. A grea, deal
mas been written and spoken upon
this question during the las, year. II
Is well understood that the Repub-
hcan party is unalterably opposed 70
the Wilson League Of Nations as i
stands. II will never ratify tho
treaty with Article Y unchanged and
even If the Democratic party should
De successful in this campaign. the
covenant Of the league will not no
ratified with the present Article X in
~, because there will remain in the
senate sufficient number of Repub-
hcans 20 prevent it.
There is feeling, however. among
great many people and many Of
them are Republicans, that there arc
some things in the League of Nations
covenant which are good and that il
is not only necessary but inevitable
that this country enter into some
Kind Of an international agreement
winch will serve to prevent future
wars, or at least to make them less
frequent than they have been in the
past All Republicans do not think
ailke as to how this should he done
