Ask Peanut Tariff

Importation of peanuts from China
threaten to ruin the growers of Amer
lea. according to a statement which is
being distributed to farmers in the
southern states by the United Peanut
Association of America, urging them
to cooperate for their own protec-

remedy a restrictive tariff on peanuts

it asserts, has increased on tre-
mendous scale in the past few years,
and the importations for the year end

An acrimonious controversy has
arisen between President Wilson and
Senator Spencer of Missouri. The lat
ter, in campaign speeches, asserted
that the President during the peace
conference promised Roumania and
Serbia that if needed the American
army and navy would be sent to their
aid. This charge Mr.. Wilson branded
as absolutely false. The senator re-
torted that the alleged promise was to
be found in the stenographic report of
the eighth plenary session Of the con-
ference, in which Mr.. Wilson was re-
ported to have said to Premier Bra
tianu of Roumania: "You must not
forget that 1t is force that is the final
guaranty of the public peace. If the
world is again troubled the United
States will send to this side of the
ocean their army and their fleet"
Spencer asked the President to pro
duce the report, but Secretary Tumulty
said on Thursday the President had no
stenographic report of the eighth rlen-
airy session and, so far as the Presi-
dent knows. there is no such record in
this country.

starvation during the coming winter.
Lenine End the other leaders have
been me- ing desperate efforts to re-
open commercial relations with Great
Britain and Italy and to make peace
with Roumania, but these efforts have
been fruitless SO far. The Red sol

their officers, and the Russian people
generally are in despair.

If it were not for the people of Cali
fornia and few jingoes on both sides
of the Pacific, the threat of unpleasant
relations between America and Japan
would quickly fade away. The Ameri-
can associations of Tokyo and Yoko-
hama have cabled to Secretary of
State Colby a set of joint resolutions
urging that Americans "act with sober
elaboration and patience, trusting the
respective governments to find a So
luton satisfactory and effective with
out affronting Japan or sacrificing the
principles of equity on either hand
Viscount Ishii the new Japanese
ambassador to France and one of his
country's wisest statesmen is quoted
as saying: "War will never come be-
tween the United States and Japan
unless the United States seizes Japa-
nese territory or Japan seizes Ameri-
can territory. Japan has not the re-
hottest intention of ever attempting to
appropriate any American territory"
He says there is no trade war on be-
tween the two countries, and that la
Dor and land problems cannot be per-
mitted to be magnified into questions
where war might be even envisaged.
He and other Japanese leaders assert
that most of the people of Japan real
ize that most of the talk of interna-
tional trouble is due to the fact that
the United States is in the throes of a
presidential election.

Senator Harding abandoned his
porch again for a quick speaking tour
through part of the Middle West, and
in his address at Des Moines he ac-
cepted the direct issue Of ratifying or
rejecting the League of Nations COW
enant He declared fatty he would
favor staying out of the league as
formed at Versailles; he said be want
ed no acceptance of the league with
or without reservations to clarity
Americas obligations, and that he.
thought the proper thing to do was to
reject the covenant altogether. AS for
what he does favor doing in the way
of an association of nations, he said
II shall not risk embarrassing the
final solution of a problem so mo-
mentous by undertaking to lay down
in advance specific details or plans. AS
soon as possible after my election /
shall advise with the best minds in the
United States and especially / shall
consult in advance with the senate,
with whom, by the terms of the Con-
stitution, shall indeed be bound to
counsel and without whose consent no
such international association can be
formed / shall do this to the end
that we shall have an association of
nations for the promotion Of interna-
tfonal peace, but one which shall def
nitely safeguard our sovereignty and
recognize our ultimate and unmort-
gagged freedom of action"

President Wilson got into the presi-
Dental campaign at the beginning of
the week with a long letter addressed
to his fellow citizens, urging them to
place the seal of their approval Of the
League of Nations covenant by their
votes at the polls in November. He
said: "The chief question that is put
to you is, of course, this: Do you want
your country's honor vindicated <and
the treaty of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve of the
League of Nations as organized and
empowered in that treaty? And do
you wish to see the United States play
its responsible part in it?'s
He said the opponents Of Ge league
had mislead the voters and had dis
played gross ignorance and impudent
audacity in their attempt to invent an
'Americanism of their own, which has
no foundation whatever in any of the
authentic traditions of the govern
ment"
Following this lead, Governor Cox
and Franklin Roosevelt in their cam
paign speeches are now making the
League of Nations the great issue and
are devoting to it most of their argu-
ments. Homer S. Cummings, former
Democratic national chairman, also
has been called on and will speak for
the league in Ohio Kansas. Indiana,
Kentucky, New Mexico and California.
