President sacrificed the interests Of
the country when he refused to accent
the amendments adopted by the Senate
Or seriously to endeavor to frame
amendments to meet senatorial obiec-
tons.
Endorses Harding's Speech
u am in full accord with what Sena-
tor Harding has said in his address Of
August %, when he expressed his be-
lief in a society Of associations or
League Of Nations, animated by consid-
srations Of right and justice, instead
Of might or self-interest, and not
merely proclaimed an agency in pur-
sult OF peace. but so organized and go
psrtlclpated in as to make the actual
s.talnment Of peace a reasonable pos
ability
I'm common with Senator Harding
such an association 1 favor with all my
mart, and | make no fine distinction
% to whom credit is due Let it be an
snat not, our concern is solely with the
thereof
Senator Harding does not wholly,
saa finally reject the league. He recog-
al.es that it may have become so en-
vMlhed and interviewer in the peace Of
Europe that its good work and its un-
.oleetlonable provisions must be pre-
MTed IN order TO stabilize the peace
~ mat continent. In my opinion this
wise craftsmanship. The Paris
covenant is part Of the treaty Of
peace executed between the German
sSgernment and all of the nations with
rrasa 1t has been at war Except the
enl1ed States); treaty under which
sast property interests have become
sssed rights; a treaty which has
sasly restricted the power Of the
sssman government separately to con-
Ss sf with any other nation.
q when President Harding, working
accord with a Republican Congress,
s 1ss up the work Of placing upon a
nm. just and sure foundation, the
s.s;s Of this country to the other
.saa'ns OF the world, | am confident
aas the logic Of accomplished fact
q w lead 60 the adoption Of the league,
modified az TO remove all just
s.aoss as to its undue effect upon
S&eFlean rights and interests.
No Separate Peace Sought
