The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-10-21
Twelve Stands on the
League Of Nations

Twelve different positions on the
League Of Nations is Senator Hard
ing's record since President Wilson
has brought that document back
from the Versailles Peace Confer
1 ence.
The Republican bill boards around
the country are reading 'Let's be
done with wiggle and wobble." These
must have been written by a Repub-
lican with keen sense of humor,
for Senator Harding has done moth
ing but wiggle and wobble on this
question since it came up.
When the peace treaty was first
considered Harding lined up with
the mild reservaHonists.
His first change of front came
when he Joined the Lodge reserva-
ton crowd. His next shift Of front
came when he voted in favor Of
separate peace through the Knox
resolution. Since the nomination he
has completely repudiated all Of his
past actions.
The following quotations from his
speeches on the League of Nations
indicate the lack of conviction, his
illogical, contradictory habit Of
mind and varying positions taken:
'Marion, July % (speech Of ac-
ceptance)-I can speak unreserved-
ly of the American aspiration and
Republican committal for an asso-
citation of nations cooperating in
sublime accord to attain and pre-
serve peace through justice rather
than force"
'Marion. August 2S-It is not
not uncommon for the advocates of
the League of Versailles to contract
unfavorably The Hague Tribunal
upon the ground that the tribunal
lacks teeth Very well; then let's put
teeth into it."
"Same speech-If the league has
been so untwined and interviewer
into the peace Of Europe that its
good must be preserved in order to
stabilize the peace Of that continent,
then it may be amended or revised"
"Marion, September 5-Undoubt-
edly there lis much that is good in the
covenant of Versailles. have no de-
sire to fling that all aside"
"Marion, September Eve are all
agreed now that amendment or re-
vision or reconstruction is possible
and vastly better than reservations"
'Marion, September 21-If can
have my way we will never enter
fraternity that is founded on force"
Baltimore, September 27-I am
without a single program construc-
tive i'm character about an associa-
ton Of nations. The first thing
I will do is to try to find plan for
an association Of nations behind
which all Americans will stand"
Imagine a Presidential candidate
trying to hoodoo the thinking people
into voting for such a hypocrite
under the impression that he will try
to please everybody! This statement
was made in answer to a query
fired from the crowd and he received
the deserved jeers from an intelli-
gent audience. He had heretofore
taken many stands on many ques-
tons, even on the League Of Ma
tons, and at this point he says he
has no program whatever in regard
to an association Of nations. Guess
he is waiting for "some Of his
bosses" to inform him how he should
presen. himself on this all important
question:

want to clarity those obligations. ]
