London, Nov. 9th.-Mr. Lloyd George
in his adore IS at the Lord Mayors ban.
quet at the Guidhall tonight discussed
briefly and pointedly various problems
with which the Govt. is dealing. He nlung-
ed Immediately into Foreign Affairs and
appealed for patience and faith in the
world settlement, declaring that the
highest wisdom demand that prejudices
and d6slikes be kept under control If Eu-
rope is to be saved from becoming a
weller of raging hatreds. With regard
to Germany, he declared himself per-
sonally pleased with tine proposals of
that country for the liquidation of her
obligations. Coincidentally Mr.. Cham
berlainsannounced in the House that Ger
many had placed a large amount of
bonds in the hands of the PREPARATIONS
commission. The Premier spoke op-
timistically of Ireland. lntimating that
the situation there was we'll in hand.
Referring to questions between Ger
many and the Allies, Mr.. Lloyd George
said that the real test of Germany's sin
cerity was disarmament and he added.
the report | have to give on that sub
iect is very satisfactory. The German
army is rapidly being reduced to loo, 900.
There are still too many rifles at large
in Germany, but they are a greater men
ance to Germany's peace than to Ger
many's neighbours. Another important
point was ~reparations. Germany is pre-
pared to submit certain proposals for
the liquidation OF her obligations and
personally ] am pleased with them. They
will be considered at the conferences
and it is satisfactory to note that Ger
many realizes that her first duty is to
repair the devastation the German ar
mics wrought. I wish | could speak as
hopefully of the Russian problem where
we have to do with men professin the
Red crazy temper of Bolskevismo, who
fail to realize how important it is they
should respect their obligations. He re-

A Bribe and a Threat

Cox and Daniels both declare that
we must spend billions for the army
and navy unless we accept the
Wilson League of Nations. BY q
mixture of bribe and threat they
would bully voters into supporting
Cox.
Daniels, who last year asked for
S530,000, 900 for the navy, is to ask
for $G50,000,0O0 for next year.
What does he mean tc do with so
pr0digious a sum? Is it to waste it
if he gets the chance? Or is he merely
saying: "Vote for Cox: if you don't,
I'll see to it that it costs you dearly"?
In 19l4-before the war-the
naval budget was $l40,000,0
In l920-after the war-Daniels
demanded nearly four times as much.
For next year Daniels would have
five times as much as in 1914.
The combined budgets of Daniels
and Baker for 1921 call for the
frightful total Of 81 100000.
With no war threatened, the mere
proposal is monstrous No need
exists for such an addition to taxa
ton. To get what is called an
"argument" the two "pacifsts" and
'idealists" at the head of our mill
tary departments would plunge into
an orgy of further unnecessary ex-
pendltures.
Senator Harding and Governor
Coolidge are right in charging the
Democrats with unpreparedness be-
fore the war and with criminal
wastefulness during and after the
war.
This frightful riot of waste and
taxation continues two years after
the armistice. This Administrat alton
kept us out of war. 1t kept us out
of peace. 1t kept US out of the
League of Nations. And noao it pro-
poses to keep us IN debt.
There is but one escape for this
country.

Riding Three Horse,

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The New York World has had
many blazing editorials concerning the
League OF Nations, and particularly
Article x, but it's sinister attempt TO
POLL the wool over the eyes of tho
public will be emphatically answered
or November .
In its editorial Of Wednesday it loud.
ly praises Cox because he is willing to
accept reservations, and even quotes
With much gusto one of its previous
editorials in which it advocated com.
promise on the League of Nations.
To-day, Thursday, The New York
Y orld again decides that Wilson is
right; that there should be TO changes.
Several months ago The New York
World strongly advocated Hoover for
President.
In other words President Wilson has
stood for no changes; Cox says he
believes the league should not be
changed, but that he VIII accept the
judgment of two-thirds Of the Senate;
Hoover has always stood for pro-
nounced changes in the league.
In other words, no paper has tried
harder to ride three horses than The
N,ew York World in this campaign,
and still that paper devotes yards Of
SPACE in calling Harding wabbler.

senger on the eastbound Lake Shore
United yesterday, October q.
Colonel Fielder, during a conversation
u the club coach of the train, de-
olared that there was "a drift 20 Cox
When his audience would not agree
with him he suggested a straw vote
y straw vote was accordingly taken
throughout the train by Colonel Fielder
and another gentleman, who was a Re-
publican.
There were 1919 persons on the train
including porters and walters. The re-
salt OF he straw vote was as j,l lows
Harding, 1O6; Cox II, Debs, /; were

voters there were 26 ladies', of whom

OF the IL colored votes cast was for
Debs and the rest for Harding. The
straw voters fairly represented all sec

After the vote was taken Colonel
Fielder said that "the drift Is certainly
awful" and declared he would go fish

Bessarabia Arrives Home

The signing at Paris Of the treaty
which definitely recognizes Rumani-
an title to Bessarabia effects a set
clement not likely to be challenged
by any of the parties concerned
The Rumanian character of that
fertile province, separated from Ru
mania nearly one hundred years
ago, is acknowledged by most Rus
sian authorities, and the Bessara-
bian people themselves have repeat
edly declared their determination to
1eunite with the mother country.
The Russian claims to Bessarabia
are upheld only by the few who still
believe that the old Russia can be
restored.
To Rumania the definite posses
sion of Bessarabia means a very I'M
portant advantage beyond the salts
faction of recovering an ancient and
valuable territory inhabited By a
'oyal population. The World War
has restored Rumanian unity and
removed one Of the two menaces to
Rumanian natiOnhoOd. AUSTRIA
Hungary is no more, and the chances
Of its resurrection are slight The
only danger is in the rebirth Of Rus
sian Imperialism, whether White or
Red. With Bcssarabia under Rus
eian sovereignty the estuary of the
Danube rested under Russian con
troll; with Bessarabia restored to
Rumania the boundary is removed
to the Dniester-a considerable
strategic advantage not only for
Rumania but also for the western
nations for whom tie Latin kingdom
on the Black Sea performs outpost
duty.
1t is scarcely conceivable that this
country, with respect to Bessarabia,
viii apply the strange Wilson doc
trine that whatever was coored Rus
sia on the map must remain unas-
signed until such time as Central
Russia is pacifed.

Vote for Judge Chase

Two Judges of the Court Of APP
peals are to be elected on Tuesday.
The Republican and Democratic or
CARNATIONS have united on one can
didate, Judge Frederick Z. Crane, of
Brooklyn. For the other seat Judge
Emory A. Chase is the Republican
candidate and Judge Abram |. Elkus
is the Democratic.
Both parties have frequently in
dorsed sitting members for election
or reelection. This year the situa-
tion was little complicated. Two
judges-Chase and Crane-are serv-
ing on the court by designation, both
being members of the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Elkus was appointed
last winter to fill vacancy caused
by the death Of Judge Cuddeback.
Only two Of the three could there
fore go on joint party ticket.
Judge Chase has been member
of the Court Of Appeals for nearly
fifteen years. He is the senior
judge in service His claim on the
support Of the two parties was su-
perior to that of either Judge Crane
or Judge Flkus. Judge Crane has
served about three years and Judge
lkus less than year. The Demo-
cratic organization refused, however.
to nominate Judge Chase, although
1t agreed to support Judge Crane.
For the second judgeship it insisted
on nominating Judge Elkus. A par
tisan contest for the second Judge
ship was thus forced, for the Repub-
lican organization couldn't ignore
Judge Chase's far more substantial
claim in favor Of that Of the second
of his two junior colleagues.
If judicial service, ,and capacity are
to be recognized in nominations and
elections, Judge Chase was entitled

The Murphy of Labor

If Robert Brindell is not SLAM
dered in the testimony before the
Lockwood committee he is the Muir
ply of labor. He has organized and
dominates a labor Tammany, and
uses it to the ends which Croker
cynical.y acknowledged
The methods of the two Tam
manies are as like as peas. in pod.
The first step of both kinds of bosses
is to get power by pretending to be
friend of those to be used Then
when firmly in the saddle the next
step is to black ack those slow with
their tribute money.
A long line of Tammany bosses
has eXemplified in the political field
how easy it is to treat men as sheep.
The tame and subdued for the most
part do as they are told. The hum
bic many fear to disobey and the
shrewder few are held through their
cupidlty. From Aaron Burr to
Charles +. Murphy seldom has Tam
many been compelled to fight an in
surrection.
viii the average unonist show
more intelligence than the average
citizen?
1t is not against unonism that
grafters show themselves in its
ranks. But let unionists learn hu-
miiity. Their organizations are
human institutions and subject to
the perils that encompass all human
institutions. Let unionlsts realize,
when next they encounter an en-
ployer who fights the closed shop,
that perhaps all he personally knows
of unions has come from visits Of
blackmailers.
Much good should come from the
Brindell revelation. 1t reemphasizes,
when much needed, the fact that
neither side in strike disputes can be
sure it is perfect. The crooked in
fest all walks of life, and charity
comes when the percentage of
grafters is approximately the same
in all groups.

The Cox Character
country.

The larger Governor Cox puffs
out his figure the smaller he ap-
pears, for the very good reason
that character speaks louder than
assumed ideals, instructive actions
than words learned by rote. In the
midst Of his most glowing effort in
the name of internationalisnl with
the vox humana stop in full throb,
Mr.. Cox cannot save himself from
sudden desccrts to cheap vilifca-
.ion and brass-rail personalities.
Latest of his small-boy assaults is
his attack upon George Horace
Lorimer and The Saturday Evening
Post. We publish elsewhere upon
this page portion Of the very tenn
perate editorial in which that week
y in its current issue sums up the
campaign and decides against Will
sonism The cartoons that es-
pecially aroused Governor Cox's
wrath are typically good-natured
end jovial. One shows Senator
Harding being driven from his
porch campaign by the success of
the Cox rough-house tactics-it
illustrates a news article which GER
tainly shows Mr.. Cox every leniency
md leans over the fence to be fair
TO his chances. The other cartoon,
accompanying the editorial, shows
Mr.. Cox trying to sell white
washed mule to Uncle Sam, who in
slsts that the animal is the same old
donkey that has been giving him
trouble for the past eight years.
The Posts attitude viii seem to
every fair-mindcd person temper
ate and wholly good-natured state
ment of the view that the issue next
Tuesday is Wisconsin and nothing
else Perhaps this is a mistaken
lew. But why doea Mr.. Cox see no
other way to reply to it than by
caIilng Mr. Lormer names and ac-
ousing him of mean and sordid
motives?
The episode confirms what has
gone before. Calling names is part
and parcel Of the Cox intellectual
process. The small boy with his
fingers to his nose. shown in The
Post cartoon, is fair representa-
ton of the Cox campaign. That the
Democratic party was able to noml-
rate no higher type of citizen for
the Presidency of the United States
is "a sad commentary upon the per-
sonalities of that party available

The First Cox Program

-Four days before we declared war
against Germany Cox's Newspaper
proposed a Stacker policy, as FOL
lows:
"The best '0ny to aniatre or en-
eng, if Germany should become our
enemy through a declaration of war
or because of a state of war, is to
supply the deficiencies Of the Allies.
These Deficiencies consist of food and
clothing and munitions of war. In
stead Of dUerting or resources to
raising an army of couple Of
million men, instead Of sending men
abroad for sentimental purposes. we
ought to go to work to supply the
Allies with everything they need, and
they do not need men We can oest
se7'0e our o1on purposes by furnish
ing other matter than men"
On the eve of Presidential cleo
ton every red-blooded American
should take note of Cox's view of
our duty in the World War:
l. -Four days before the war he
was not sure that Germany would
be cur enemy.

hide behind our fighting allies.

An Undemocratic League

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is one point in the dis
cussion of the present League of Ma
tlons which does not seem to have been
sufficiently stressed; that its democ-
racy is highly questionable.
Any covenant which binds its mem
bers to participate in military action
or to engage in an economic boycott as
the result of decision of a council.
whose members are appointed, not
elected, council, moreover, in which
the representation Of the constituent
states is mot proportional, is not a
democratic document. A democracy
cannot go to war or take part in an
economic blockade unless the public
opinion Of its citizens is solidly in
favor of drastic action. It cannot pro-
ceed in such grave matters automatic
cally as the result of a contrxctual oh
legations; it must act because Of such
widespread feeling Of moral indigna-
ton that no citizen can be ignorant Of
the precise issue involved If this
moral Indignation does not exist, no
covenant will call into being the means
to discipline by force state adjudged
guilty by q group composed Of eight
foreigners and one fellow citizen.
The inability of Britain to send mill
taly aid to Poland during the recent
Bolshevik advance is a case in point.
In constitutional republic or empire
the consent of each people, either di-
rectly or through its elected represen-
tatives, must be obtained in every
question of the enforcement of inter
national law, old or new; and till this
is provided for such covenant as
that promulgated at Paris must be re-
garded by free people with distrust.

Are You Ready for the
Question:
(Front an editorial IN The Saturdou
EUe1ing Post)

(fronl an editorial IN The Saturdoy
EUening Post
President Wilson Is probably the onlv
man in the United States who has not
changed or modified his views on the
League Of Nations since the first months
of the armistice. Having yielded much
to European statesmen then, he refuses
to yield anything to American public
opinion now. With him it is still the
league of nations, not league Of ma
tions, though time and changed world
psychology have developed weaknesses
in the original draft that call for COR
rection.
The first OF these weaknesses, though
1t IS the one least often referred to in
discussion, is the binding together of
the peace treaty and the league. More
and more it is apparent that the treatv
carries the seed Of future wars in its
text, that the league must revise the
treaty or the treaty will destroy the
league. In the light of events and
soberer second thought, even those of
us who were most hopeful see that it is
impossible for the league to leap full
grown into life.
There was time in the first weeks
after the war when a strong man, sur
rounded and counseled by strong men.
could have formulated safe peace and
strong league. That was the Presi
dents moment, and his opportunity
The people of two continents were solid
ly at his back; his enemies were i'm
potent. His friends could have been
cemented to him and his enemies con-
founded by a broad, bold course,
whether it led to success or failure
But he should have surrounded himself
with big men, both at home and abroad
to share his big moment, whether of
victory or defeat. The glory of great
man IS enhanced by the sum of the
greatness of his subordnates, but every
little man in his administration sub
tracts something from the bigness of
his chief.
The League of Nations should never
have been dragged into partisan poll
tics But so long as it is there, so long
as the President has made its accepts
ance a personal matter, so long as he
has made the record of his administra-
ton the first issue and demands an un-
qualified Endorsement Of it, the question
before us is perfectly Clear. As Mr..
Blythe puts it in his article, that ques-
ton is: Do we indorse Wilson, his
works and his workers ,"
American sentiment is in favor OF q
League of Nations. The differences be-
tween the great majority Of Republi-
