EXPECT VIEWS OF
FRENCH ON LEAGUE
AMBASSADOR EXPECTED TO DIS.
cuss REcAsTlNG OF LEAGUE
COVENANT.
Known In Diplomatic Circles That
Principal Allied Powers Are Pre-
pared to co Far Toward Meet
ING Desires Of Americans.

washington. Jules Jusserand.
French ambassador, who went home
several months ago on leave. is to
return to Washington on November "a.
He is expected 10 bring with him the
latest views of his government regard
ing the recasting OF the league OF ma
lions covenant and to be prepared to
discuss the subject with the officials
of the Harding administration as soon
as they are in office and ready to
proceed.
1t has long been known In dlplo-
matte circles In Washington that the
principal allied powers were prepared
TO go far toward meeting any desire
OF the American government for
changes In the plan of the covenant,
but il has been stated In at least one
quarter that such changes must in no
case violate the underlying principles
OF the convention.
Diplomats generally do not believe
that such changes could be made by
reservations such as We're proposed In
the so-called Lodge plan. In their
opinion, amendments would be neces-
sary, requiring the approval Of the
sgnatory powers.
Another matter that viii engage the
attention Of Ambassador Jusserand is
the status of the commercial relations
between the United States and France
under existing treaties. France last
spring gave notice to all powers with
which she had commercial treaties of
the termination of these conventions.
The French government, however, later
withdrew the notice so far as 1t con-
cerned the United States.
France, however, has not abandoned
her plan Of revising her commercial
treaties, and Is understood to be defer
ring the opening of negotiations with
the United States until after the
change of administration In Washing
ton. Before the negotiations are OPEN
ed NJ. Jusserand is expected to ac-
quaint himself with the plans of the
Republican leaders In the matter of
tariff revision.
The ambassador is expected to make
a close survey of the situation in Wash
angton and report to his government
upon the prospects of success In case
1t should decide to renew its efforts
to secure approval by the senate of
the treaty, which would guarantee
protection for France against external
aggression for period OF five years.

WILL INSIST upon
Open DOOR POLICY
STATE DEPARTMENT MAY PRO-
TEST AGAINST ACTION OF
THREE GREAT POWERS.
The Open Door Principle Insisted
Upon by United States in the Turk
ish Settlement Proposed by
France, England and Italy.

Washington.--Wh no protest has
been made thus far by the state de-
partment against the tripartite agree
ment between France, Great Britain
and Italy defining spheres Of Influence
In Turkey, officials stated that this
did not mean that no objection would
be made against any provision viewed
as contravening an open door policy
In Turkey. The open door principle
was insisted upon by the United States
In the Turkish settlement, 1t was said,
when President Wilson was asked In
March by the French government for
his views on the tentative draft of
the Turkish treaty
The American note of March "a
said; st Is the understanding Of the
government of the United States that
whatever territorial changes or ar
rangements may be made In the former
Ottoman empire, such changes or ar
rangements will In no way place Amer
lean citizens or corporations of any
other country In less favorable situa-
ton than the citizens or corporations
of any power party to this treaty."
In some quarters 1t was contended
on Saturday that the second para
graph of article two of the trlpartite
agreement did violate this principle,
In excluding from the particular
spheres Of influence reserved for each
Of the three powers the nationals of
the other two contracting parties.
Acting upon the principle of equal
commercial opportunity for all nations
In Turkey as laid down in the Ameri-
can note, the United States already
sought to apply that precept in Meso-
potamia. Inquiry was made several
months ago of Great Britain concern
Ing the reported French British agree
ment over the exploitation of oil in
the Mesopotamian area. This cor
respondence has not been made public.
Western Anatolia, In the sphere of
italian special interests under the
tripartite agreement, provided per
cent of the worlds supply of chrome
before the war; of which the United
States imported In 1913 1920 tons,
besides quantity of emery. 1t is also
practically the worlds sole source for
meerehaum.

Hoover and Harding on The League

4
Hiram Johnson and numerous
! Democrats have professed TO see in
the speech and attitude of Senator
| Harding a positive disposition to
throw overheard the idea of league
of nations to attempt TO preserve the
peace of the world. 1t is easy enough
I 10 satisfy oneself that one has found
what one has been looking for and
! accordingly they have done it. Hiram
! Johnson for one reason and the men,
bers of the opposition party for an
! other.
There are plenty of people, how
ever. wiz do not see any reason for
! thinking that Senator Harding has
! reversed the judgment which caused
him to vote twice in the Senate for
the Paris covenant with proper res
ervations- To that number Herbert
Hoover. one Of the foremost sup
porters of the league idea, has now
been added, being convinced that the
! position of Senator Harding on the
! league is sound. In the large both
! men hold identical views: they are
for a league with american" reser-
vations. Both men believe that the
United States must take increasing
ly larger responsibilities toward the
other states of the world, and both
are well aware Of the difficulties at
tendant upon the assumption Of such
responsibilities.
The only way for each individual
to make up his mind just where Sen
ator Harding stands is to read and
interpret what he said about the fu-
ture role of the United States in
world affairs:
Il can speak unreservedly of the
American aspiration and the Repub-
lican committai for an association of
nations, cooperating in sublime ac-
cord, TO attain and preserve peace
through justice rather than force, de-
termined to add to security through
international law, SO clarified that no
misconstruction can be possible
without affronting world honor"
Admirers of Mr. Hoover may well
be gratifed that he has cleared him.
self from all possible stigma which
may have attached to him as a fancied
internationalist. His indicated readi-
ness to campaign for the Republican
nominee is to be taken as evidence
that Mr.. Hoover believes in the Re-
publican opinion that this country
can best serve the world if she is un-
trammeled by "entangling alliances"

National Finances

The public should not be satisfied
with being told the national debt has
been reduced by something over a
billion dollars. That of itself has a
pleasing sound but if national assets
have been drawn on to do it the coun-
try is financially no better off The
individual who has paid a tho sand
dollar debt out Of money he had on
deposit in the bank is no better off
financially. except he may be able TO
save a trifie Of interest; indeed he
may be in worse condition because
Of having less OF liquid assets, Of cash
on which to draw in time Of emer-
gency. If he has stripped himself Of
ready capital in order to pay a debt.
then. in case a pressing need Of
money arises. he may be obliged to
borrow at disadvantage.
A few days ago the general fund in
the Treasury was little over half a
billion. whereas year ago it was
more than billion and a quarter.
Not only that, but last week over two
hundred million in Treasury certifi-
Gates were issued. OF course it is
necessary at times to borrow in an
ticipation of taxes but with business
as it now is an approximately cor
rect estimate Of certain of the taxes
is impossible. Moreover the country
is not yet keeping expenditures down
to revenue. the deficit for the fiscal
year to date being s113,s15,70o. When
We recall the difficulties Congress en-
countered in trying to reduce expen-
ditures, and see Of how little informa-
ton a statement of the present
Treasury Department may be, the
conclusion Of many will be that no
opportunity should be neglected in

Has Done What He Could
Philadelphia Press

tfElldQelpnla fFeSSi
While Senator Harding has done
all that he could in reason and good
taste to promote the cause of woman
suffrage, and secure final ratification
Of the constitutional amendment.
some Of the very militant sufragists
are not quite satisfied. They want
him TO make demands of different
states Senator Harding has no
power to do that, and has the highest
precedent for not doing it. After his
election 10 the Presidency Abraham
Lincoln was appealed to from diff
ferent sides TO request the repeal of
certain state laws. on the ground that
II would do much 10 compose the Sec
uonal agitation then prevalent. Lin
coins reply was that he knew moth
ing about the laws complained of. but
If IN conflict with any part of the

Justified. as a citizen Of Illinois. or as
