Cox and Reservations

Gov. Cox is incensed over state
ment made by Mr.. Root and demands
that he retract the assertion that
Cox declared that he will insist upon
the treaty just as Mr.. Wilson nego-
tiated H."
Gov. Cox is about as far from
the so-called Wilson league with tho
Cox reservations AS Senator Lodge
Is with the Lodge reservations.
1t was only a few days after Gov.
Cox was nominated that he was
called TO the White House and came
away from n conference with the
president with the announcement that
they were In full accord in their at
titude upon the league of nations. 1t
was rumored at the time that the
president and Gov. Cox said very
little to one another about the
league. and that the statement that
they were in full accord was intend
ed for political effect rather than
as n statement OF actual fact. Gov.
Cox has discovered that the people
of the United states are not in ia
vor of the league without reserva-
tons. His discovery may have been
made too late, but at any rate he
deserves credit for having the sa-
sacity to observe the sentiment of
the people and the courage to trim
his sails accordingly.
II Gov Cox were in thorough aC-
cord with President Wilson, as he
stated at one time, he would not be
so violent in his condemnation OF
Mr.. Root for alleging that he favored
the treaty as President Wilson ne
gotiated 1t.
We take Gov. CoX's caustic tele-
gram to Mr.. Root to mean that he
is not in favor Of the league as
brought back from Paris by the
president and furthermore. we have
never believed that he favored it
without reservations, even though his
speeches in the early days OF the
campaign may have so indicated.
Gov Cox has spoken in every Sec
ton of the country since his NOM
nation. Ho is an astute politician
and is quick to sense the sentiment
of the people. His declaration in
favor of the league with variety of
reservations is a conclusion that
would have benefited his candidacy
immensely had he possessed the
foresight in the outset to have taken
this position instead OF endeavoring
to pacify the administration. which
rejected all reservations
that did not emanate from admins
tration sources.
