THE LEAGUE ISSUE IN THE
CAMPAIGN

'- A DISPATCH from San Francisco an
:, nounces that Vice President Marshall Is
to lead the administration fight for out
and out endorsement OF the League OF
Nations. and that William Jennings
Bryan will be his principal opponent.
: For the time being interest turns from
Chicago TO the Pacific coast. It Is
hardly worth while TO predict the out

tration forces on the one hand and the
opposition led BY men like Bryan. Hokc
Smith. and other southern and
western politicians who object to the
administration policy. Even ar out and
out fiat endorsement OF the League OF
Nations as IL came from Paris fresh
from the hands Of Mr.. Wilson. will fail.
we believe, to make the League OF Ma
lions the principal issue In the coming
campaign. The American people today
are far more interested in the domestic
questions which touch their home life.
They are interested in a subject Of ma
tional economy. the simplihcation OF tax
laws, and the reduction Of taxes. They
are vitality concerned with protiteerinE,
with legislation for the effective settle
ment OF wage and labor controversies,
and In fact. with the whole range OF
subjects that have to do with the ability
Of every man 70 earn an honest living
and 10 enjoy fair share Of the proceeds
of his toll. For the time being at least
the League OF Nations has become an
abstract theory instead OF = material
fact. Sooner or later we will join some
kind OF an international court or tri-
bunsl through which the American peo-
pie will exercise their influence for
world peace. But We will certainly not
become parties to any agreement that
will limit our freedom OF action as to
domestic problems or coerce our judg-
ment In any emergency.
The declaration in the Republican
platform. adopted at Chicago. states the
fundamental principles that will govern
our action.
II Is the duty OF the American people
TO use their influence TO help preserve
the peace OF tho world. It Is a duty
from which we will not shrink. but
whatever engagements We may enter
into. we will not either in the imemdiate
or the distant future agree In advance
to any obligation that win compel us
