The speeches at the Ohio Demo-

these columns: that Gov. Cox is
alone with Mr.. Wilson in holding
that there cannot be any league, or
peace, or disarmament without the
equivalent of Article X in the cove
nant accepted as a common princi-

To be sure, Mr.. Cox said: our
position is not unbending. We
claim that We can accept anything
in reservation with interpretations
that calls attention to the limita-
tions of the Constitution-that calls
attention of other nations that we
will go thus far and no farther.
But the Republican reservation as
to Article Y does not interpret Ar

of the United States to it.
