LEAGUE OF NATIONS PRIMER
An Analysis
 By George wharton Pepper

0. What sized army will we have to riaiIitain in peace-time to be ready to perform our guaranty under article x?
 A. General March, our chief of stami has recently estimated that, if all other nations do their fair share. the standing army of the United States will hare to be half million men.
 c. That Is to say that, in order to keep peace under the league, it VIII be necessary for us to have an army about five times as large as we had without the league7
 A. Exactly so /; and, of course, the ex- eoetive council may at any time call up-
 on ais for a very much larger force to | back up one of its decrees. Q. Suppose that wars arise between foreign nations after the league IS in
 operation, who pays the cost of thetn? i A Instead of leaving the fighting Da- tions themselves to pay for the klxttry of fighting, the covenant provides that 1 the cost Of bringing troublesome nations | to terms shall be apportiened among the
 league members, and of course the
 share of the United States will be the lheaviest of all.
 o. What is the Monroe Doctrine? A. The Monroe Doctrine is the name given to a policy announced years aga by the United States which has now became for us fixed rule of conduct | We declare that we shall View 1t as aH unfriehdly act if any foreign nation at tefnpts to acquire territory upon tht Western Hemisphere.
 0. Is this policy which tends ts promote peace?
 A. Not at all. It is a notice from thi
 United States that, if certain things arr
 done, there may be a fight.
 | o. Can the Doctrine be properly de scribed as an understanding between na tiens?
 A. Not at all. It is an announcemen by the United States backed by ou ability to. make good. 1t doesn't matte
 whether other nations understand or moi Q. What is left of the Monroe Doc
 Urine under the league? [ A. It is deprived of all force If tn , United States makes protest agains , the acquision of American territory by , foreign nation and the offending natio
 refers it to the Council, the Council ma decide that such a protest is invalid an l may safely be Gisregarded by our ar
 tagonist on the ground that 1t does nt
 tend to promote peace. ,t C.. Do you.rnean to say that we ca { be compelled to back down from our DO l sition although we have acted in strit
 accordance with the Monroe Doctrine? n "A. OeTlG1ly. we HluSl 6ttHeT DdC : down or. fight the world. ) Q. And is that what Is meant by thos t who say that the league preserves u t i Monroe Doctrine?
 ! A Yes and anybody who makes tn: : statement is either wilfully misrepresen = ing the situation or does not know wh;
 he is talking about.
 . O. You spoke awhile ago of the Al e sembly of Nations. What is that?
 A. By the terms of the covenant a - league members constitute an assembl f The assembly may decide information v disputes referred to 1t by one of the di s lputaf1ts or By the council. ,, c. Does the decision of the assen1b ). bind a member state? j. A. Yes, if the vote of the nations re- d resented in the council is backed up I. majority of the votes of other nations

HOW THE TIDE IS RUNNING.

Dewnheartening to the Cox headquar- ters must have been the statement by Richard H. Long, candidate on the dem oeratic ticket for governor of Massacf1u- sets a year ago, that after considera- ton I have decided to vote for Harding for president"
 Here is an influential Massachusetts democratic, who was a delegate to the national democratic convention at San Francisco and who voted for Cox for the democratic candidate for president turning his back upon the mead of the ticket and declaring that he Will vote for his opponent because Cox is actively supporting the administration policies Right in this same state of Massachu setts Charles F. Adams, who. was named as a democratic presidential dlector, and who declined the nomination though his | name remains on the baffot, has declared that he is against Cox and will cast his vote for Harding and Coolidge. He will thus vote against the very men he is Supposed to stand for in the electoral col. lege should he be elected
 1 Judge Garman of Wilkesbarre, Pa | former chairman of the democratic state central committee, has pledged his sup port to the republican national ticket because Harding's platform and ad. dresses show that he is supporting the Constitution and is safer than one who openly comments efforts to subvert tha- grand old document
 With not only such democrats, /bu such old time democratic leaders turnins away from the standard bearer of theil party it shows quite as convincingly a. did Maine which way the tide is run ming.

rnr srrrArIoN 1N anEron.

By the death Of King Alexander of Greece, short reign and reign filled with difieuities and troubles is conclud ed, and that country is faced with the task of securing new ruler in q man. ner differing from the ordinary method of succession.
 It had been sincerely hoped that Greece would escape from being obliged to go through the struggle of getting a new ruler at this time. Alexander un- der the guidance of Premier venizelos has been safely guiding the affairs of the Greeks. Those who have been making determined efforts to bring about Z the overthrow of the government and accom- plish the return of Constantine win of course make the most Of the opportunity which is now afforded.
 It does not appear however but what yenizelos is in close touch and full con troI of the situation. That brother of
 the dead king may be the choice for his
 successor seems probable. There are ob-
 stacles in the way, which under certain conditions might seem insurmountable.
 but there appears to be confidence on the part of the premier, and thus far the death of Alexander does not appear to have awakened any increased demand for the recalling of Constantine, while Venizelos isn't giving encouragement te
 the suggestion that the time is ripe for republic.
 With it firmly established that Con stantine cannot get back, the depose6
 king should prefer that his son Paul should be made king rather than have l another from without the dynasty se lected, but Constantine's attitude mal
 depend entirely upon developments ant
 what sort of deal he can make.

URGING BRANDEGEE
Braadegee of Connecticut.
Chicago Tribune.)


 If Connecticut republicans wish seri- ousiy to weaken their party. in the next edyernment and deprive the senate of one fo the strongest members, they Will fail to reti,rn Senator Brandegee.
 The partv interest in this contest needs no emphasis MT. Harding must be given a republican congress if we are to have an effective programme or reconstruction energetieally and expe- ditiously carried out.
 In the senate the republican marGln of control is too narrow and should be made safe. International relations are nowadays of critical importance. If we are to have a vigorous and enlightened American policy we must have this mar gin.
 But there are reasons for the re-elec- tion of Senator Brandegee of a per sonal and nonpartisan character Il seems that the democrats are seeking the aid of progressive republicans to de 1 feat Senator Brandegee beeause he i: of the conservative wing of the party | He opposed among other progressive | measures woman suffrage. The Tribun | is a progressive republican, but we thinl /. it would be neither progressive nor re publican to put Senator Brandegee' denoefatic op56nent in the senate. Tn issues on whieh conservative and pro gressive republicans have disagreed ar not at stake in this election. Others o ereafer n7oTnent are and on these Scna 1 tor Brandegee hasI stood four square. if Connecticut repuhlicans-an inde pendent democrats, for that matter wh realize the temper of this demcralize period-do not prize Senator Brande .kgee's outspoken courage, they have : our opinion, poor appreciation of waa the American senate needs and mus have to serve America in thess days [ l trial Connecticut has reason to D proud of Senator Brandegee and th country to be grateful to Connecticut fo
 what he contributes to American eour
 sels.
 We hope the nation is not u be de
 proved of that.

CONFIRMS HARD1NGs POSITION.

--fVo slight importance will be attached
 c the statement which has been made nza Leon Bourgeois. president of the Council of the league of nations, that Euopean statesmen do not consider ar rste ten an essential part of the league pact and that he is confident it could be eliminated without destroying the effec- tvsness of the league. T
 Article ten is one of the features of the league upon which President Wilson
 h striving for ratification has laid so n&ch stress. He has strenuollsly epfosed
 rftorts that have been made to modify t go that we would not be bound to pre- Berve the boundaries of European na- tsns and claimed that to change it
 would be to destroy the heart of the feseue.
 During the period when the league
 was under discussion in the senate it
 was repeatedly intimated that the na-
 tions of Europe would be willing to ae-
 ceDt such reservations as had been pro- posed concerning the league in order to have this country a member. Regardless or that administration opposition was Tlch that it prevented the ratification oi tho treaty and because of that attitude vs are today without peace and the country is on the point of letting it be known through the national election tRa t ls opposed to the wrecl7tng of oul .

PROVING HIS UNFITNEss.

When Governor Cox launched his at tack against The Saturday Evening Post because it had changed from it's. long non partisan attitude and will this week print cartoon and comment this week favorable to Senator Harding, 1t proved to be just the same kind of a boomerang that he has been playing with through out his campaign. It leaves him in a much worse position than lie would have found himself had he said nothing either before or afterA the forthcoming issue. Governor Cox has revealed to the eoun- try by his own actions that he is not the man who should be raised to the nosi- tion of president of the United States He has demonstrated his unftness from the very opening of the campaign and by his statement regarding the Post he dis plays it anew to. the country to say neth- ing of the additional criticism which he has brought down upon himself because of his unjust and uncalled for attitude.
 Governor Cox shows himself a candi- date who is not actuated by confidence. He is resorting to methods during the | last days of his campaign, and which for that matter started with his assert ions regarding the republican campaign find and have been since spread over much of the country which indicate the des- perate fight he is making. Such cannot fail to impress upon those who are go. ing to vote next. Tuesday how thorough.
 ly unfit is the candidate and how li!t,e ] reliance can be placed in the statements
 clamis and promises that he has beer
 making.

e. If an act of aggression were to threaten the territory or undergraduates of 4 league member, what, under article K would be the obligation of the United States?
 A. Our obligation would be to preserve
 both the territory and the Independence Of the threatened nation.
 c. What action on our part would this
 involveg
 A. It would probably involve sending Ez a feet and an army abroad and might readily require the maintenance of a large and permanent police, force in the threatened area
 e, Does the democratic party favor commitments which require our boys thus to become policemen in distant lands?
 A. Yes. The democratic party even approves President Wilson's proposal | that we should become specifically re- l spons7bie for the protection and develop
 ment of Arfnetiia.
 c. And yet 1t is not the fact that the promoters of the league of natiofis are advertising it as peace document. A. Yes. Candidate Cox has an hal l Inclination of this sort. l 0. Do they not also claim that under the covenant of the league of nations the old system of s.balance of power" and ''of- l fansive alliance will be entirely elirn- 1 mated? 1 A. They certainly do; and it is be cause of this claim and of the equally I groundless claim that the league will prevent war that so many people have 1 been led to approve the covenant. | e. What do President Wilson and | Candidate Cox mean when they keep re- ferring to the freedom of Congress, under article X, to decide whether or not to take the steps necessary to fulfill cur promise?
 I A. They mean thereby to persuade Americans to make solemn and lar
 reaching promise in the expectation that coneress will repudiate The commitment if for any reason performance becomes , inconvenient.
 II 0. Is there anything in the history o1 the United States which justiles these
 gentlemen in expecting that the American
 | people will stand for such a proceeding A. No thank God. : o. Would the performance by con gress of our undertaking involve us I , foreign wars?
 A. It certainly would. ,I O. Would the failure of congress tt , perform our promise tend to cemen l friendshins and to promote internationa , i god feeling?
 l A. Judeg for yourself If our lowl president can call us ignorant and inpu Il dent because the senate felt bound t S revise his unauthorized commitmen made at Versailles, you can imagine wha the world would call us if congress un
 dertook to repudiate an authorized com ]. mitment made by our accredited repre- sentative at Geneva.
 = o. Do all league members agree to re , duce their armaments before we ar : bound to mix up in their fights? a A. Not at all. The covenant proyi sons on this subject are little short 9 ' ridiculous. The executive council ma, Il recommend to nation a reduction of 1t
 armament. The nation will. of course 1t wait to see what other nations will dc g This means that there will be no reduc r tion except by general agreement an s there is absolutely no reason to expe1 f Ethat any such agreement will be reach
