for Wilson. especially when he puts

find II difficult to credit IT, But II Is
plain that the statement cannot be ac-
cepted. Does Congress act with an in
dependent Judgment when II acts under
an absolutely compelling moral obliga-
tion.' as the President put lit Does a
man act with an independent Judgment
in deciding whether he will live up to
contract which he has made? When the
time comes to make good the contract. Is
he free to repudiate II? II we agree to
preserve the territorial integrity of
every member of the leauge as against
external aggression, can we ignore the
obligation when the exigency arises?
IF In the Presidents view we should
now be guilty of bad faith In not making
this contract, which he saw tit to nego-
tiate. ignoring the docided opinion in this
country against II and without any au-
thority alone to bind this country. what
should we say OF the charge OF bad
faith IL we made the contract and then
did not keep II?
TT is not likely to be difficult. as Mr.
Root has said-and no one knows better
than he-to secure the consent of other
nations to the notifications and amend
ments Of the covenant which we desire.
We are not antagonixing the aspiration
for a society of free nations to promote
peace. But we may indulge this aspira-
ton, without consent!ng to vicious pro-
vision In the proposed covenant. II we
are to realize this aspiration we must act
lntelligently and in accord with Ameri-
can principles. Our people cannot be
expected to act otherwise"

JOHNSON ATTACKS
LEAGUE
Against 1t With or Without
Reservations and Hard
ing With Him.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERLn.
HARTFORD, Oct 23.-Speaking to an
audience composed Of many factory en-
ployees. Senator Hiram w. johnson to-
night reused his hearers. including Gov.
Holcomb. to prolonged applause in his
condemnation Of the League of Nations,
which he emphasized was exactly the
stand Of Senator Harding He made a
strong plea for support for Senator
Brandegee, who is the chief object of
Democratic assault In this State.
you should be doubly prepared" he
warned. mot only must you elect War
rem Harding. but you should send back
to the Senate man who had the cour-
age to do his duty-Frank Brandegee.
When every day men were being pulled
down by international bankers Frank
Brandegee stood like a man. Never
mind the other things this year want
to do many other things. but here Is the
biggest thing. the sure defeat Of this
League Of Nations"
He opened by referring to his 1912
visit here In the Bull Moose campaign,
saying that eight years ago he was In
Hartford rs a humble follower of the
greatest American OF this generation,
and his precepts then are his precepts
now. He said he had put aside his likes
and dislikes and many important duties
in the present crisis.
I'm not a member of the Senatorial
oligarchy; I'm a casualty Of the recent
Chicago convention, and I'm talking
outside the pale and the power of poll
ties as an American to Americans" he
said. For one class Of certain news
papers which were distorting the utter
ances Of the Republican candidate he
said he cared little, so long as in saving
their faces they did not save their
league. He resented, however, the work
of az other class which, misrepresented
the plain words and import of the Re-
publican candidate.
NOW you needn't misunderstood my
position. I'm against the league-with
or without reservations. Our candidate
Is no less severe in his denunciation of
IL. calling It a military alliance that
menaces peace and threatens all free
DOM and deprecates his Senate votes
for reservations. You might think his
Des Moines speech came from one of the
little band called bitter enders and ire
concilables. He doesn't care about m
ternational bankers or the employees of
International bankers. There he stands
four square against the league, and
Warren Harding VIII get the votes of all
red blooded men.
"A certain ex-Presldent, whom some
admire and none follow, came into my
State with an expensive organization
and propaganda for the League to En-
force Peace, and year ago / could not
get hall In Hartford and In some places
IN New England could not get a chair
man to preside at an anti-league meet
Ing. You can pardon little exalta-
ton on the part of us who for eighteen
months have fought and have now won"
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-24

II found the sentiment almost unani-
nous. among Democrats as well as Re
publicans. In favor Of the Republican
candidate for President. The predom-
mating factor In the minds OF all is
that the Democratic Administration In
Washington has failed to meet the issue.
particularly the issues arising during the
postwar period They believe the good
OF the city demands change In admin
istration. Taxation is one of the great
issues. They are beginning TO realize
that OF the $5.416.284.875 collected In
taxes by the Government for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1920. nearly one
and a half billion came from New York"
Mr.. Mills is an expert on taxation
and Industrial relations, to say nothing
of other pressing problems which he
studied as chairman Of the executive
committee of the special committee that
drafted a preliminary platform for the
Chicago National Convention.
I'm my Judgment" continued Mr.
Mills. the predominating issues are:
Reduction In government expenditures
ments and bureaus. establishment of
an executive budget, amendment OF the
existing tax laws. more particularly the
repeal OF the excess profits tax and the
substitution therefor of tax that will
not have a strangling effect on busines s
activity and will distribute the burden
OF taxation with some degree OF equity;
the high cost Of living. railroads, the
merchant marine, the attitude of the
Government toward business and hous-
ing, which Is a nationwide problem"
Asked about the League OF Nations.
Mr.. Mills replied: 1T is high time we
got away from that and talked a little
about our pressing domestic problems"
