McAdoo To Tour For Cox.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-wHliam
G. McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury, will enter the Democratic
national campaign with a speaking
tour that will carry him TO the PACING
coast with speeches in many large
cities. His first speech will be in
Huntington, N. Y, on September 70.
Commenting today on the part the
council of the League of Nations took
in smoothing out" difficulties among
four nations in controversy which at
one time threatened to result in
war;" Mr.. MaAdoo said:
while Republican leaders have
been declaring that the league of ma
tons would cause wars and provoke
wars we have a striking example of
the fact that the league of nations
is actually preventing wars. Sweden
and Finland have agreed to consult
the league on a boundary quarrel,
while Poland and Lithuania have de-
cided to do likewise.
THE Republican opposition to the
league Is based on misunderstanding
and conjecture, as well as mis-
representation. This will be made
clearer as the league continues to
function and with the progress of
events"
