SMITH SAYSCOX
AND HE AGREE
Stand on League Identi-
cal, He Declares
Scores Critics

| ATLANTA, August 10.-"The
people of Georgia who believe in
reservations to the peace treaty
should be delighted with the speech
of Governor Cox" said United States
Senator Hoke Smith in a further
statement on the speech of Governor
pCOx formally accepting the presiden-
tial nomination.
In his two reservations, Governor
Cox has expressed and emphasized
the most essential point in the whole
fight made by twenty-three Demo-
cratic senators for reservations to
protect American interests.
eve have all believed in a league
to protect peace, operating under
constitutional limitations-and we
earnestly desire it's ratification.
Governor Cox recognizes the fear
of many Democrats that without
reservations the league might be a
league for war. He proposes to
meet this by reservations drawn un-
der two principles: First, that the
United States joins the league as a
league of peace and not a league to
engage in wars. Second, that the
United States assumes no obligation
to go to war except when in any par
ticular case congress, under the con-
stitution, shall so decide.
Governor Cox's plan to meet the
various views of Democrats is the
work of a great constructive states
man. We can all agree on his lead
