COMPROMISE PLAN
To THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The two
League of Nations reservations pro-
posed by Governor James M. Cox,
Democratic presidential nominee,
President Wilson. it was indicated
at the White House today
At the White House it was said
that the two reservations appeared
to be purely interpretative, and it
was added Wilson has never objected
to interpretative reservations.
While Mr.. Wilson's attitude was
thus clearly indicated, it was made
plain that no direct word of his DO
sition on the Cox proposals will be
given out until after the proposed
conference between the Democratic
conference, 1t is understood Governor
Cox will urge President Wilson to
back his reservations.
At the White House, it was point
ed out that the proposed reserva.
tons have not been formally pre-
he obviously would make no direc'
comment on them until they were.
1t was pointed out, however, that
the president has always held thai
the League of Nations was merely
a war preventative and that it die
not affect the power of the congress
over war declarations. He has al
ways contended that nothing in the
covenant endangers this power, but
has said he would not object to hav
ing the point clarified by an inter
pretative reservation. it. was stated
GOVERNOR COX'S PLAN
TO RATIFY THE TREATY
DAYTON, Ohio, July 10.-Demo-
cratic Presidential Nominee Cox in
1t l. sr,sA ~
House will urge President Wilson to
back him in two proposed reserva-
tons to the League of Nations cove
nant, it was learned today.
The first provides that the United
States enter the League of Nations
with the distinct understanding Of
all other members that the Ameri-
can congress alone shall say when
this country shall enter a war.
The second is definite stipulation
that all members of the league agree
that it's main and virtually sole pur-
pose shall be the prevention of wars.
Governor Cox said today that he
believes that he and the president
will have little difficulty in reaching
an agreement on the league ques-
ton. The governors advisers en-
phasized that he desired ratification
of the treaty but that he realized it
could not be done until opposing
lctCIlOilS are lOSclISI.
At the same time it was stated
that the nominee will not stand for
sacrificing of the vital features of
the covenant. but that he believes a
majority of both parties favor a real
league to end war.
A statement of Governor Cox be-
fore his nomination and editorials in
his paper reveal that he is anxious
to steer as far away as possible from
the long wrangle between the presi-
dent and the senate.
