Hitchcock Interprets
Situation to Suit Self
in Concord Address

Concord, n. H., Oct. s - Senator
Gilbert Hitchcock of Nebraska, in an
address here tonight said that the
question for this country now was
not whether Americans would like a
League Of Nations formed on a diff
terent theory than the one establish
ed at Versailles.
1T is this league or no league"
he asserted. ut is not a question
whether YOU may prefer something
a little different You can't get it.
Either we are going in with the 9TH
er nations or we are going to stay
out" SIN.
He said that before the war. with
autocracy enthroned in much of
the earth, a league would have been
impossible, but that with the great
powers and most of the small ones
either republics or constitutional
monarches the psychological mo-
ment seems to have arrived, with all
the horrors of war fresh in mind.
to form the League of Nations" He
declared that no single line in the
league covenant justified the asser-
ton that an attempt had been made
to form super world government.
Senator Hitchcock denied that un-
DER Article X the United States
could be ordered into war against it's
will. This article, he said, applied
to the world the principle of the
Monroe Doctrine

was criticized just as Article X is
criticized and on the same grounds.
yet it has protected the new world
and has not cost the United States
a dollar or a man.
IF the United States alone, by an
Article X of 100 years ago could pre-
vent wars of conquest in the western
hemisphere. in Gods name why cam
not half of the nations of the world
protect the half of the world against
wars of conquest"

Viscount Grey
Offers Solution
of Irish Question

London, Oct. Soy The Associat-
ed Press)-Viscount Grey. former en-
bassador to the United States. today
published in the Westminster Gazette
another long letter concerning his
ideas for a solution of the Irish stu
alton. The letter was partly in an
swer to criticisms by former Premier
Asquith and others of his recent pro-
posals and partly in amplificaton Of
them
The best | can suggest" says Wis.,
count Grey. among other things, lis
to make clear that the very starting
point of our policy is our conviction of
the incapacity of the British parlia-
ment to manage purely Irish affairs
and our determination to put an end
to this tragic failure. And l want to
see it clear, beyond power misconcep-
ton that within certain limits, frank
~ and honestly stated by us. Irish
men are not only free to arrange their
own government but must do So
I'm no other way can l see how to
get the Nationalists and the Ulster
men to realize that they must take
account of each others point of view
and make concessions to each other
Protestant Ulster is quite strong
enough to make her own terms with
the rest of Ireland. but so long as we
go on allowing it to be understood
that if the Protestant FISHERMEN and
the rest of Ireland do not agree we
will still be responsible for the inter-
nal affairs of Ireland, they will never
agree and one or the other of them
will block in London or defeat Ireland
whatever scheme of Irish home rule
is initiated in the British parliament.
THE indiscrminate and cruel re-
prisals, as well as the cruel murders
that provoke them must be stopped or
elso the bitterness here and in Ireland
will grow until any sentiment Of re-
Cancellation is impossible.
But when these are stopped there
will still be urgent need for new
departure in the Irish policy.
at was said that what I suggested
the other day is the counsel OF pes
simist. The real and worst pessimism
is to hold that majority of the Irish
men are absolutely unreasonable and
irreeoncilable and that there is MOTH
ing for it but settlement by war and
conflict.
Continuance of the present state Of
things may render the present situa-
ton hopeless and we shall be dis
graced il we let the present state Of
things continue. But We have and
hold neither the right nor the need to
regard the political situation as hope
less until we have made better eff
fort at a settlement than the present
policy of the government"

dream of world domination with
which the United States has no bust

When the nominee first mentioned
the League Of Nations, some one in
the crowd yelled: League of No
TONS and the senator laughingiy
replied: II accept the amendment.
He added that he wanted to be
fair and that he did not oppose
President Wilson's trip to Europe,
but only objected because he did not
take anyone with him"
Back to Peoples Govt.
II want to turn back" he con-
tinued, land note the word back
which is synonymous with again
want to turn back to constitutional
government. There used to be con-
siderable criticism of the Senate. 1t
used to be called a rich-man's club.
But l know that today it is repre-
sentative of the intelligent thought
of the country. Why, the senate
preserved to you your United States
of America" ..-
He declared that the democratic
nominee is in favor Of accepting the
Paris covenant for League of Ma
tons and says he is
I'm not" he shouted and the
crowd again rose to it's feet and
cheered.
Wants No Dishonest America
Il mean by that that as President
will never submit to a League or
an association of nations with any
thing like Article X in it," he added.
Under that article when the League
calls, America must respond or be
esty and / do not want a dishonest
America. SO ! am proposing that
we make sure before we go in rattle r
than trying to sneak out afterward.
Il want America to do its part. I
believe it is inevitable that there be
some association of nations for the
promotion of peace. ! think that's
likely may, more, I think it's right.
But l want that association based on
justice. not force.
Violates National Freedom
The League of Nations as propos-
ed by President Wilson-mark, / say
that League, the League we're, not
going to have-sets us militaristic
power. 1t violates every Fundamental
of national freedom. Instead of add
ing security to the world it's the big
gest threat of war ever proposed to

Yet our sympathies have been ap-
pealed to. 1t has been proposed tAet
we take a mandate for Armenia.
know how appealing it was. but they
didn't tell you that the other nations
had taken all the valuable territory
about Armenia, and had left for Am
erica only the suffering Armenians
In the Senate we found it would take
100000 soldiers to carry out that.task
and it Would have involved us in all
the auarrels of the Old World.
The simple truth today that al
though the League has been organized
and is functioning with nineteen bat
tie fronts aflame it hasn't amounted
to a continental in European affairs
The league is a failure. They ask
me if it has been scrapped. OF course
it has been pped by
President Wilson himself. They ask
me if I have a specific plan. / have
no specific plan, because it was a
specific plan and the insistence on
that plan which scrapped President
Wilson's League. There is no man

County Attorney f. f. Merrill has
returned from Lake Moxie, where he
was called by the accidental death
of Russell Emery of Madison. 1t
seems that Mr.. Emery and his friend
Moses j. Haines were on their annual
hunting trip and that Mr. Haines
saw and shot deer and that Mr.
Emery must have been beyond the
deer in the range of the shot The
investigation proved that the shoot
ing was purely accidental and that
no carelessness whatever WAS re-
vealed. Many friends are much
grieved to learn of the accident.
