DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

am a young American and very
much in love with a young girl of a
different nationality. i love this
girl too much to lose her, and think
she loves me equally as well. i am
liked by her parents. but they seem
to object somewhat to our close
friendship. probably because I am
an American. DO you think her par
ents would object or do you think
they would consent to our marri-
age? What can I do to convince
her and her parents that love her
too well to lose her?
This is the first time / ever
heard it even suggested that an
American was not considered
good matrimonial prospect. Usu-
ally it is admitted that American
men make the best husbands. If,
in addition to the difference in
nationality, there is a difference in
religion, however, you have a COM
plication hard to overcome. Many
families from the old wn"ld find
it difficult to take up with man
ners and customs in this country
and are fearful of their daughters
marrying out of their own race.
But in your case take 1t this fear
is supposition only and it may be
that they are not ready to have
their daughter marry anyone. l
cannot imagine any family turn
ing boy down for the simple rea-
son he is an American. Prove to
them that you will make a de-
sirable husband for their daughter
and your citizenship under the
Stars and Stripes will be no deter
rant.

4 BOOMERANG LEAGUE
ARGUMENT

WASHINGTON. Jan. --- The Re-
publican Publicity Association, thru
its president, Hon Jonathan Bourne
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington
Headquarters:
"A Democratic supporter OF tle
league of nations covenant without
reservations complains because in
the United States Senate state with
small population has as much vot-
ing strength as a state of a large
population. His argument is that
the vote IN the Senate is not, there
fore, an accurate expression of pop
lular will. But if computation be
based upon the number of people
each senator represents, the show
ing is even greater against the
league covenant. The argument ad-
vanced by my Democratic friend is
against his own line of reasoning
"Snce each state is represented
by two senator's, and the senators
from a state did not always vote to-
gether on the league covenant, the
population of each state must be
counted twice in determining how
the representation was recorded on
the resolution of ratification. On
the Underwood Resolution, which
was to ratify the treaty as submitted
by the President, there were 3S
ayes and SO noes, four senators be-
ing absent and one vacancy existing
Stated in percentages, of those SEN
ators who were present, All per
cent were for ratification without re-
servations and 1913 per cent were
against
by tabulation of the vote by
states, counting the population of
each state on the side of the Ques-
ton which its senators supported,
we find that s2,s65,SS4 people were
recorded for ratification without re-
servations. waffle l39,S30.G55 were
against. This would show n little
more than 80 per cent In favor and |
slightly less than 20 per cent against /
These figures are not presented
as Il demonstration that the people |
are opposed to ratification without !
in the proportion of 20
to 80. In fact, we believe that the
against ratification of the
treaty as submitted is even greater
that that. The only present purpose
in making the computation is to ans
wer the argument that the propon-
ants of the league covenant suffered
by reason of equal representation of
states having unequal population.
II each senator had been permitted [.
10 cast votes in proportion to the
number of people he represented, |,
he defeat of the treaty as submit
ed would have been even more over
1T is reasonable, however, to ar
que that the senators did, in fact.
airly represent their constituents
except that a number of Democratic
senator's voted for ratification
against their inclination and in re-
jponsc to the partisan insistence of
heir leader, the President A num-
)er of the senators who opposed rat
fcation had been elected at the pre-
'eding election, after President Will
ons appeal for the return of a Dem
,cratic Congress. 1t is hardly to be
assumed that those men were either
gnorant or defiant of their consti-
uentS. They were in harmony with
, large majority OF their people.
From whatever angle the sub
ect may be approached, the facts
md the logic are against the uncom-
stubbornness of the advo-
.ates of the league covenant without
