ARTICLE TEN IS
NOT ESSENTIAL
President of Council of the
League of Nations Says
Tt Can Be Eliminated
GIVES INTERVIEW
TO CORRESPONDENTS
Declares 1t Is Not Considered so I'M
pOrtant In Europe as In America -
Willing His Statement Shall Be Pub
lished to the United States.

+ BRUSSELS, Oct. 25.-Leon Bour-
geois, president of the> council of the
league of nations. talking to American
newspaper correspondents last night,
said that Article 10 was not considered
by European statesmen as a vital and
essential element of the league covenant.
He said he had been surprised that this
article had caused so much emotion in
the United States. He stated that it
could be eliminated without in any way
modifying the effectiveness of the league.
Article TO- he said, lis scarcely more
than a moral background to the cove
nant. 1t is not considered so important
by Europeans as by Americans. There
is really no sanction or penalty in this
article. All penalties provided for in
the covenant in order to make the league
actually effective are in other articles. y
His statement was made in the course
of an interview arranged for American
correspondents by the principal press
officials of the league of nations. After
Leon Bourgeois had withdrawn, the
question was raised among the Ameri-
can correspondents aS to the effect of his
utterance on the presidential election in

ment until he could pass upon it as be-
ing issued with the fullest authority and
approval.
Leon Bourgeois was seen today by the
press agent of the league of nations, who
then told the correspondents he had ex-
planned to Leon Bourgeois the import
ance of the remarks and requested him
to say whether he intended them to be
published in the United States. Leon
Bourgeois replied that he understood the
Importance of what lie was saying and
was quite willing the interview should

Respect True Boundaries,

To summarize the position Of this
government, | would say. therefore. in
response to your excellency's inquiry.
that II would regard with satisfaction
a declaration by the allied and assoc
ciated powers that the territorial in
tegrity and true boundaries OF Russia
shall be respected. These boundaries
should properly include the whole Of
the former Russian empire, with the
exception of Finland proper. Ethnic
Poland and such territory as may be
agreement for a part of the Rumanian
state. The aspirations OF these ma
tons for independence are legitimate.
Each was forcibly annexed and their
liberation from oppressive alien rule in
wolves no aggressons against Russia s
territorial rights. and has received the
sanction of the public opinion OF all
supposes the withdrawal Of all foreign
troops from the territory embraced by
these boundaries, and in the opinion
of this government should be accom-
panied hy the announcement that no
transgression by Poland, Finland or any
proclaimed will be permitted.
Thus only can the Bolshevist re-
gime be deprived of its false, but eff
fective appeal to Russian nationalism
and compelled to meet the inevitable
challenge of reason and self respect
invasion and territorial violation are
sure to address to social philosophy
that degrades them and tyranny that
Expresses them.
1.-THE policy herein outlined will COM
mand the support of this government.
Accept, excellency. the renewed as
surance of my highest consideration.

mano Avezzana, ambassador OF Italy"

Faction Rules BolsheHiki.

1T is true that they have in various
ways expressed their willingness to give
assurances and guarantees that they
will not abuse the privilege and i'm
munities OF diplomatic agencies by us
ing them for this purpose. In view
OF their own declarations. already re-
ferred to, such assurances and guar
antees can not be very seriously re-
garded. Moreover. II is within the
knowledge OF the government OF the
United States that the Bolshevist gov
eminent is itself subject to the con-
troll of a political faction, with extern
sive international ramifications through
the Third Internationale, and that this
body, which is heavily subsidized by
the Bolshevist government from the
public revenue of Russia, has for its
openly avowed aim the promotion OF
Bolshevist revolutions throughout the
world. The leaders OF the Bolsheviki
have boosted that their promises Of
noninterference with other nations
would in nowise bind the agents Of
this body. There is no room for rea;
sonable doubt that such agents would
receive the support and protection Of
any diplomatic agencies the Bolsheviki
might have in other countries. Inev-
itably, therefore, the diplomatic SER
vice of the Bolshevlst government would
become channel Tor lntrigues ana the
propaganda OF revolt against the in
situations and laws of countries, with
which 1t was at peace, which would
be an abuse Of friendship to which en-
lightened governments can not subject
themselves.
"In the view Of this government
there can not be any common ground
upon which it can stand with a power
whose conceptions Of international re-
Iations are SO entirely alien to it's own,
so utterly repugnant to its moral sense.
There can be mutual confidence or
trust, no respect even, If pledges are
to be given and agreements made with
a cynical reputation of their obliga-

EARLY SUFFRAGE
LOOMS AS BOTH
PARTIES LINE UP
Harding Takes Step to AS
sure Women Vote as Ri !
vaIry Grows.

The republican and democratic
parties are lined up to race for the
honor of enfranchising the women of
the nation in time for their partici-
patton in the November elections.
Thi s was shown by conference
here yesterday between Senator Hard
ing, the republican nominee, and Gov.
Clement of Vermont, who was called
to Washington by a wire from Will
Hays, the republican campaign man
ager.
Both parties are to work through
legislatures in which each has a
majority-the democrats in Tennessee
and the republicans in Vermont
Preponderance of Advice.
The suggestion was made by SEN
ator Harding to Gov. Clement that
Clement should call a special session
of the Vermont legislature immedi-
ateIy for ratification of the suffrage
amendment
At the same time Will Hays wired
to Gov. Bartlett of New Hampshire
urging him to address suffrage con-
vention in St. Adams, VT, last night,
which he did.
The Vermont governor, in formal
statement issued after his conference
with Mr. Harding, in fact did not open
ly state that he contemplated calling
an extra session, but declared that, de-

spite his reluctance to permit change
in the fundamental laws without de-
Liberation, there was a preponderance
of republican advice in favor Of spe
cial session"
Harding Issues Statement.
Senator Harding, in a statement is
sued simultaneously with that of Gov.
Clement, said the Vermont governor
understands I was not trespassing on
his authority" in advising him that Il
would be glad to see Vermont republi-
cans close up the great franchise re-
form"
Senator Harding's statement, in part,
follows:
1T gave me an opportunity to say
to Gov Clement that l was deeply
interested in the final disposition of
the question of ratification. and l told
the governor frankly that if my ad-
vice were wanted l would be glad to
see Vermont republicans close up the
great franchise reform. The women
throughout the nation are deeply in
tereSted in the national campaign ana
the ratification must be closed soon
if they are universally to participate
in the federal election. l would be
gratif1ed, of course, to have repup-
lican Vermont close the gap, but Gov.
Clement understands l was not tres
him such an opinion in the course OF
our conference"
Clement Explains Case.
Gov CIemen in his statement said:
T have been calling on Senator
Harding, and we discussed the state
of the Union agreeably. you can be
sure. and we discussed suffrage rati-
fication by Vermont. Our state re-
III ton l nd
the extra session. Chairman Hays
has urged it on behalf of the national
convention. Naturally l wanted SEN
ator Hardings views, and he suggest
ed an early call. My reluctance is
due to a feeling that Vermont prefers
deliberately. We can only change
our state constitution by one direct
appeal to the people and the favorable
action of two legislatures. we are
reluctant therefore, to ratlfy by
legislature which was elected at a
time when suffrage was not an issue
Immediately after the conference,
which lasted until near midnight,
Gov, Clement left for New York. He
will reach the Vermont capital early
next week.
Roberts Sets Date.
Gov Roberts of Tennessee, in re-
Spouse to an appeal from President
Wilson, announced several days ago
that he would call the legislature of
his state in special session to act on
the federal suffrage amendment.
The Tennessee legislature will be
called to meet August 9, Gov. Roberts
informed the national woman's party.
A telegram from the governor was
the first announcement from him of
the date of the special session. al
though it had been stated several
days ago at the capitol in Nashville
that August had been decided on.

democratic Florida and
North Carolina-and two are repub-
lican-Vermont and Connecticut.
