DENIESPLEDGE
In ROUD ROBIN
Borah Says Signing Did Not
Bind Him to Support
World League.
AcHON. ONLY PROTEST
Senator Declares Resolution
By Republicans Was Not
Pact Agreement.
ACTION. ONLY PROTEST

Intimations from pro-league
sources that Senators who signed
the famous round robin" will be
held to the pledge in that docu-
ment to take up for serious con-
sideration "the PROPOSAL for a league
of nations to insure the permanent
peace OF the world" were repudiat-
ed yesterday by Senator Borah, OF
Idaho, one of the leaders in the
anti-league hght.
There never could be any doubt
about the round robin which the
Republican members of the Senate
signed on March 4, 1919" the Sen
ator said Before the round robin
was signed. it had been rewritten
several times. 1t was difficult to
effect a compromise between the
raiId reservationists and the irrecon-
ciiables One amendment after an
other vas offered and rejected, and
At iast one was found acceptable
to ali parties in that it embodied
! q simple expression that. we were
in favor Of uniting for peace in
the world and for disarmament.
Meaning of Resolution.
The resolution was written in
the Republican cloakroom and was
really meant to serve notice to the
treaty makers at Paris that we
would not accept the league of ma
tions- 1t was to stop them and II
would not have been fair to allow
them to proceed in their work with
out knowing how we felt about 1t,
1t was a sort of protest.
Some half-doZen amendments
were proposed and rejected and as
] remember 1.-THE original resolu-
tion had a preamble which read
I'VE believe in or heartily concur
in a league of nations that will,
etc" OF course the irreconcilables
would not submit to any sentiment
starting OF like that and SO the reso-
luton was changed to read literally
that ut is the sense OF the Senate
. that the nations of the world should
unite to propose peace and general
disarmament"
Il think we had thirty-seven sig
natures in the Republican cloakroom
and about four absent members
names were to be added to the list
/ am under the impression that
Senator Reed was the only Demo
: crat who signed.
st know this, that saying that we
would unite for peace and disarma,
ment could not be construed into &
, declaration that we were in favor
: of a league of nations, concert or an
association of nations. l know that
did not regard it in that light.
was In favor of disarmament, and
was IN favor of peace. The "Roun(
Robin" was not to be interpreted, il
wa simply a statement of facts.
II I go into the street and mee'
a man and say to him: TIL sweal
: on smoking II you do and hi
agrees-that does not follow thai
! we must consider ourselves part
: ners, II even we shake hands or
the agreement.
For my part, if the other Sena.
tors who signed this round robin
l should feel bound by any inference
i that their signature even unwilling.
, ly should place them as indorsing
! the league 1 know that l should no
feel so bound. The round robir
could not hold me. 1 should not

PANAMA TOLLS
LOOMING ISSUE
Harding's Pledge for Free
U. S. Passage Promises
New Congress Action.
KNOX MAY LEAD FIGHT
Further Protest From Great
Britain Expected to Mark
Repeat Steps.
KNOX MAY LEAD FIGHT

The pledges Of President-elect
Harding that he will endeavor to re-
store to American commerce the
right of free passage through the
Panama Canal, Notwithstanding the
surrender of that right to Great
Britain" by Congress at the personal
request of President Wilson, bids
fair to be the leading issue in the
new Congress.
Prominent men in both parties say
that there can be but one result The
act which provided free toll to
American ships was based on the ar
guments principally Of Secretary OF
State Knox and 1t Is stated that he
will lead the fight to restore the
rights to American commerce.
1t was pointed out here that had
the government been SO unfortunate
as to have adopted the league or ma
tions the free tolls business would
have been taken cognizance OF by
Great Britain in the league of ma
tions and could have made Of 1t with
that handicap to the United States
u very ScElOu5 ihtcihdhiohea AhoeeSA'
Back to First Principles.
As the case now stands 1t Is ex-
pected that Senator Knox will go
back to first principles. In his dis
cussions of the right Of the United
States to administer the canal with
the British Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe, Secretary Knox indicated in
Just so many words to the British
government that the canal having
been built by the United States, 1t
belonged to the United states and
that no nation had a right to inter-
fere with the management OF the
waterway by this country. The Brit
ish government, however, insinuated
that Great Britain still had some
residuary rights in the canal even
after the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
These rights he contended were
moral and there was some veiled
allusion to the effect that she had
something more than a moral right.
1t was insinuated that as certain
parts of the famous Clayton-Bulwer
treaty were retained in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, Great Britain had
some sort of continuing territorial
right. Secretary of State Knox ig-
nored this argument as fallacious
! and proceeded on the theory that the
canal was entirely American and for
American interests.
Great Britain's Protest.
| Upon Great Britain's violent pro-
| test against the determinations
| involved in free tolls to American
ships, President Wilson made ar
l appeal to Congress to repeal the law
| as being a breach of the good faith
of nations and good international
morals.
| 1t is to be expected that as sooT
| as the issue of repeating the Law
| crystallizes in Congress, England
will at once renew her protest tc
the State Department and the battle
will begin. Backed, however by the
requirements of the Republican Ma
tional platform and the pledges OF
President-elect Harding and with a
big majority in both Houses of Con-
gress the result, it is said, cannot
be a matter of even remote doubt.
The State Department of the fu
ture 1t is predicted confidently will
challenge the right of any natior
or number of nations to interfer'
with a statute of the United States

URGES COMBINE
TO OAIDSCHOOLS
Miss Boardman Asks Back
ing in Fight for Special
Legislation.
NEEDS CALLED URGENT
Money for Several-Year
Period Should Be Ex-
pended Immediately.

All Washington must Join with
the District Commissioners in bring
ing before the Congress to convene
on December / the desperate need
for special LEGISLATION and immediate
appropriations IL the public school
and other child problems of the
District are to be adequately cared
for. declared Commissioner Mabel 7.
Boardman in an address last night
before the annual meeting Of the
Juvenile Protective Association in
the shoreham Hotel.
The school needs, alone, said Miss
Boardman, are SO serious that they
can only be met by an advance ap-
preparation Of all the moneys that
would ordinarily be apportioned for
that purpose during the next three
or four years.
Debt to Children.
"The situation demands the seri-
Gus consideration OF everyone" said
she. I'VE must all join in asking
Congress for suficient money to
meet our needs now and let the
payments extend over a period OF
years. We owe it to the children
Of Washington"
Miss Boardman praised the work
of the Juvenile Protective Associa-
tion. which follows up the cases
of child delinauents not under the
jurisdiction OF the Juvenile Court
OF the District, and declared its
/ work on ef the things that
should be q part Of the duties OF
the city government
I'VE look after the physical and
mental development of the city's
children, but de we properly watch
over their morals?" she continued.
with the little that is done to-
ward this end, it is surprising that
/ we do not find coming out Of our
midst more children who, through
/ our failure to provide proper guild
ance in the matter Of morals. are
growing into manhood and woman
{ hood imbued with criminal tenden-
cies."
Thinks Laws Inadequate.
Judge Katherine Sellers, OF the
District Juvenile Court, another Of
the principal speakers, also de-
clared that the work Of the Juve-
nile Protective Association should
be done by the community.
J the authority and a trained force
of workers to look after the delin-
quent children" she said. But un-
der the present law We can do
nothing until We have made crimi-
nails of them convicted them OF
, crime, a thing for which we are
not, OF course, very keen"
! Judge Sellers told the association
{ that she sis appalled, at the lack OF
interest shown by Washington
churches in the child cases that
come to the Juvenile Court"
Oficial reports OF the associa-
tion, read last night, show 1t has
handled more than 500 cases during
the past year where children were
in moral peril or physical danger.
and where assistance was necessary
for their protection

A Striking Example

A striking example of political
hermony was noticb bic nc the
big County Republican ConYen-
ton this week, when defeated
candidates for nominations for
the different Offices came forward
and pledged their support to
those who were fortunate in be-
ing the regular nominees on the
ticket. Other counties over the
State where contentious. were
80 strot z in both political parties
10 cause those who were the
losers to bolt the tickets and
thereby not only lose chances for
future good at the hands Of party
favor, but register themselves
as bad losers in a game for the
survival of the fttest.
Contests in the Convention
are 10 netimes close and hard
fought. but at the close of each,
the losers either made motions to
make the nominations unanim-
Gus, or made remarkable talks
on their determinations to work
for the election of the full ticket
from start to finish. 1t takes a
game loser to do this. but the
Republicans Of Lincoln County
have gone on record as being
examples in harmony. Those
who are losers have made re-
markable gains in party sympa-
thy that will do them a vast
amount Of good in the future.

who will be able to build for the fu-
tire with more certainty than de la
Huerta. 1t is expected, too, that OBJ
RECON will surround himself with al
most wholly new cabinet, which
tends to slow up the plans OF some
government departments. Oregon S
task will include the upbuilding OF
The railroads, the settlement of the
oil controversy, the meeting OF claims
for losses suffered by foreign nation
ais, an ARRANGEMENT to begin pay
ment on the national debt and the re-
organization of internal finances. 1t
is herculean task that confronts
Obregon, but he will have a peace
full, increasingly hopeful nation to
deal with, thus giving the situation
vastly brighter tone than 1t possess
cd six months ago.
What Mexico wants-wants above
everything else-is the recognition
of her government by the United
States. The question of recognition
revolvcs in circle. 1T amounts to
this: The Mexican government rec
ognizes that the United States and
Britain and France as well-will de-
; mand the fulfillment of certain OBJ
legations on Mexico's part.
"All right" Mexico says, "assum-
ing the Justice of these demands,
we're eager to settle accounts as soon
as possible"
Then Mexico proceeds to busy her
self in cleaning house. But she soon
discovers that whether the immediate
problem be the revival of the coun-
try's banking system, the reorganiza-
ton of the railroads, the payment OF
interest on her foreign debt, or half
dozen other matters, she doesn't
possess the wherewithal to put 1t
over" She needs the moral and fl
nancial support of the outside world.
But the outside world, represented
principally by the United States,
hasn't recognized the Mexican gov
eminent and assistance is not yet
Forthcoming.
Must Mexico do certain things, be,
fore she is recognized? Or must
Mexico be recognized, before she car
do these things! It's the old hen
and-the,egg pro position And there
you are!
