Norwich bulletin., 1920-10-12

A these words: The law of the league with the sanction of the power of the league, thus forbids the violation of the inter- national commandment Thou shalt not steal by force" It is the embodiment of principle that we entered and fought this war to maintain?
 "2-Did you not also in the same arti- cle say: Monroe doctrine, as originally declared by Monroe. was Article x limit ed to the aggression of non-American na- tions against countries of the western hemisphereT
 "3-Did you not in the same article also use these words: Article x is one of the great steps forward provided in the league for the securing of genera peaceT
 "4-You say that the league to enforce peace, of which you were chairman, had no Article X in it's proposition. Shouldn't you have been more frank with the American people by. telling them that you only had four articles in it and that 1 your substitute for Article x was Article | III? Can you deny that in your Article 1 III you provided for the joint use of the ! military forces of the signatory powers | in event of violation of the conditions of the covenant?
 l '5-Did not your proposal carry i definite legal obligation to employ forces and in this respect was it not very much more drastic than Article X of the | league?
 "6-You say that Senator Harding has | already voted twice for the league with I reservations, but you failed to say that your candidate within the last two weeks ! very definitely announced that if he had l it to do over again he would not vote for
 the league even with the Lodge reserva-
 tions
 You say that Senator Harding promises that as president he will en-
 dorse the covenant without Article x. To ] whom has he given the promise? Ger
 tainly not to Senators Johnson and Borah. ! Everyone knows that he has not given it to the American people. Has he given
 1t to you? If so is, it not so much in
 conflict with Senator Harding's recent
 statement that he proposes from now on
 to turn his back on the league--with or
 without reservatons--that it joins both
 you and him together in deliberate de- ception?
 "S-Assuming that the pledge has been
 given 10 you, then may We not answer if
 With your own words spoken at a lunch
 con given by the civic organizations of
 California in which you said
 The gentlemen in the senate who are
 setting out to defeat this league of na-
 tions are those I would not trust .over
 night
 "s-How do you reconcile your recent
 statement that the president was respo7.
 sihle for the failure to ratify the treaty
 wit. ycar statement in your Metropol. "'T- house speech, March 5, 1919
 as follows:
 T file president insists az I hone h.
 will. that the league be incorporated i, the peace treaty and brinrs if ha ol- | fp~ the body that refuses to ratify it. Ant also with that part of your speech deliv cred January, 1920, at the Academy n Music, Lrooklyn, which read: T am in
 ciihcG think that the persons who pre } pared the reservations as whole wer. } shooting down the avenue at the Whit | House"
