Political League Us. Judicial

There is the party pledge and its
acceptance by the candidate. In the
face of them to assert that Republican
success means that the United States
Will enter into no association of ma
tons for these high purposes is to chal-
lcnge the foundations of fidelity to
promise upon which party government
rests In a word, the issue is not be-
tween League of Nations and no
League of Nations, as Democrats and
"irreconcilables" would gladly make it.
1t is between the political league Of
President Wilson and the judicial league
and compulsory conference proposed by
the Republican party and Mr.. Harding.
But Mr.. Parsons and earnest men
like him think that the attempt to
substitute a new kind of league at
this date will only result in keeping
the United States out of any league
whatever, and thus play into the hands
of the "irreconcilables On the con-
trary, in making and emphasizing this
distinction l believe that the Republi-
cans and Mr.. Harding have rendered
great service not only to their coun-
try but to the cause. of effective CO.
operation among the nations for peace.
BY this insistence the error made by
President Wilson will be most surely
corrected and the United States
brought into a league with the other
nations which is in accord with her
former efforts for peace and consonant
with the feelings and traditions of her
