tween France and Great Britain
concerning other matters. 1t is
feared the new state may be born
manned and gravely lacking in eco
nomic independence. The success
Of the Palestine experiment would
thus be jeopardized and great work
of practical idealism perhaps brought
to naught.
French diplomacy is sometimes
criticized as too insistent in
negotiation. But it is scarcely con-
ceivable the French Foreign Office
will provide basis for renewal of
the charge by smothering Palestine.
1t is too intelligent. 1t does not need
to be told that the Lebanon question
is entitled to be judged on it's own
merits-that Palestine should not be
used as pawn in larger game.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-02
Manning Palestine

Many years ago, when there was
no thought of establishing an auton-
omous Palestine, an agreement be-
tween France and Great Britain was
arrived at touching the southern
boundary Of the Lebanon principality,
which is under French protection.
The line was more or less arbitrarily
and ignorantly drawn so it sepa-
rated from Palestine the headwaters
of the Jordan. No special need ex-
listed for being exact, for then Pal
estlne and Lebanon We're joined as
parts Of the Turkish Empire, and
there was no question of a national
frontier.
But with the creation Of an auton-
omous Palestine a new situation
came. Irrigation is indispensable
to semi-arid region, and the new
state would be in continual danger
if its water supply, the Jordan and
Litany rivers and their tributaries,
were under different flag. So
Palestine and those interested in
flttlng her to sustain large popu-
lation have asked a rectihcation of
the faulty Sykes-Picot line, push
ing it north.
This, though vital to Palestine,
would not harm Lebanon, for the
districts under discussion arc on the
southern slope of the Lebanon Noun
tains and their waters could not be
carried up hill. Moreover, Lebanon
elsewhere has many other streams
which are adequate to furnish any
electrical power she may need.
The necessity of a rectification of
the Sykes -Picot line has never been
seriously challenged, and last sum-
mer it seemed certain that France.
as the protector Of Lebanon, and
Great Britain, as the protector of
Palestine, would early reach an
agreement.
But now some chance of a profit
less deadlock has come because of
differences which have arisen be-

Cox and the Poison Gas

Democratic newspapers and man
ayers now virtuously express dis
gust over the slander on Senator
Harding. The repentance is rather
late. Strange, indeed, is it that
there was no indignation during the
four months that the poison gas has
been filtrating.
A weak attempt is made to estab-
lish Democratic innocence by falter-
ing assertions that the reptilan cir
culars, printed in large numbers at
somebody's great expense, cannot be
traced to Democratic sources. But
there is discreet avoidance of any
explanation of whence they came.
Nor is the alibj of Governor Cox
impressive. He has been in touch
with his party's management in his
own state. 1t is incredible that as
boss of the Ohio Democratic machine
he knew nothing Of the defamation
Of his opponent. Yet he was not
moved to stop it. Who doubts that
one word of emphatic disavowal by
him would have brought the business
to a quick end?
Governor Cox on the stump has
professed the highest ideals. He has
asked to be elected President as the
representative Of lofty morality.
Yet all along his manner and his
methods, the tone and spirit Of his
appeal, have been at war with his
unctuous words and have raised
doubts as to the sincerity of his
apostleship. Now, wabbIe and wrig-
gle as he may, he is aware that re-
sponsibility for dastardly campaign
tactics has been brought too close to
him for comfort. Doubtless he
wishes now that he had taken meas
urcs to stop the slandcr
Even those who wanted to take
Mr.. Cox at his own valuation must
find his candidacy ending III
shadow. The belief grows that his
character is that of the ward poll
tician who thinks it Smart" to use
any means to win and that only
foolish persons expect anything
better.

Vote for Chandler

Walter M. Chandler is the Repub-
hcan candidate for Congress in the
18th District. He represented this
district in Congress for three terms,
being elected in 1912 and 1914 as a
Progressive and in 1916 as Re-
publican. Two years ago he lost his
seat in the Smith landslide.
Mr.. Chandler deserves to be
elected. He did good service in the
House and became influential in the
Republican organization. He was
an active member of the Judiciary
Committee and made his mark in
debate. He is we'll known in Wash
ington, and can help materially to
secure consideration for this city's
varied interests. New York wants
to get away as far as possible from
the Big Tim" Sullivan theory. that
New York Congressman in Wash
ington is an ideal object "to tie
horses to-"
Vote for Chandler and register a
disagreement with big Tim"

Humanity, Etc.

The final sobs of Mr.. Cox were for
the lofty, snow-white banner of the
league and suffering humanity"
Now, considering that Mr.. Cox was
nominated by the vets and bosses
because he was more concerned
about light wines and beers than
humanity or any other protege of
the Wilson administration, and con-
sidering that he began his campaign
by crying fraud and steal and only
recalled humanity when the rough
stuff failed to go, and considering
that the subterranean campaign of
his party involved a cruel and vicious
libel of his opponent in the manner
of the blackest days of American
politics, isn't the fair and sufficient
reply Suffering cats!"?

Hoover's Call for Help

More than 3,5OO,O0O children face
death by starvation or exposure un-
less rescued by America This, in
brief, is the message contained in a
letter Herbert Hoover has sent The
Literary Digest. Milk, fats and
clothing must be provided for these
innocents. To see this great multi
tude cf helpless waits through a
third winter Mr.. Hoover says that
a total of $23, 100000 must be raised
without delay.
Poland alone has 100000 chill
dren who must be cared for. Others
are barely subsisting in Czecho-
Slovakia, Hungary and Austria, and
in Latvia and Esthonia, where pco-
pie are living mostly on a diet made
from potato -four, oat flour and saw
dust. Competent physicians have ex =
amlncd the destitute children of Cen
trail and Eastern Europe. Those
whose wasted bodies are reduced to
the danger line Of minimum weight,
those whose hunger has reached the
point where it merges into actual
starvation, are admitted to the
American kitchens. where they re-
ceive one meal day. All others are
turned away, many of them sobbng,
DO | weigh tco much?" or Am
not thin eNough?'
Most of the children for whom
help is asked are from one year to
five years backward in growth.
Children Of eight years have not
reached the normal size of two and a
half, The Literary Digest informs
us, and are just learning to stand
alone. They are living skeletons.
Yet American food sent at once, will
save the great majority.
IN addition to food, each of the
100000 must have clothing. con-
sisting of one pair of warm woolen
stockings, one pair of boots and a
little overcoat. Ten American dol
lars viii provide this outfit and also
will provide one meal day, all win
ter long, for one child. Mr. Hoover

The Eagle Boats

The so-called Eagle boats were
designed and built at great expense
to help chase the submarine. Not
one of these boats was finished when
the armistice was signed. They
were post-mortem contributions of
Mr.. Daniels's administration. The
money appropriated was wasted.
The first of these boats to be
commissioned turned turtle in the
smooth waters of the Delaware
River last June, with the loss of
eight men. The court of inquiry
eXonerated the officers and crew
and held nobody responsible for the
disaster. 1t appears that officers of
the navy, knowing from the first that
these boats were unsafe from
lack of stability, directed that they
should always be carefully bal
lasted. Notwithstanding their
faulty design and the loss of eight
lives several of these boats have
been kept in commission by the
Navy Department. This policy
should be condemned for several
reasons. They are unsafe More
lives will be jeopardized. There are
no men in the navy to man such
treacherous craft 1t is impossible
to find men for our new destroyers
and dreadnoughts. Not a man
should be wasted in these naval
caskets.
This is not the first time during
Mr.. Daniels's administration that
money and lives have been wasted
in dangerous sea craft. The Navy
Department had warning few
years ago that some of our subma-
rines were unsafe. The warning
was unheeded, and one of these
boats sank at Honolulu with the loss
Of about twenty men. Are more Of
ficers and mon of the navy to be
risked by this administration in
keeping these boats at sea despite
the evidence of their unseaworth-
ness?

What You Vote For

What are you voting for to-day?
What are you voting against? Pause
a minute to sum up before marking
your ballot
You are voting, if you are the
average man or woman, to secure a
little more public control and own
ership Of the government. You
want puolic officers, even the high
est, to be your servants and agents.
You would have an end of one
manism and return to old-fash-
ioned constitutionalism with the
law, duly enacted and an express
sion of your will, the only master in
this country.
You are voting against Wilson,
ism, whose central idea is that the
person who happens to be enrobed
with the highest authority is by that
fact so lifted above common men
that blind obedience is his due. The
country has had an All-Highest-
has been inflicted with a species of
Peruvian Incaism-and does not like
it. 1t may be heaven-ordain and
d.vinoy instructed, but it is not
comfortable.
You are voting for more intelli-
gence among the principal officers
of statc-for the selection Of men
so busy doing practical good that
they have little time TO dream
vaguely. You are voting against
the extravaganza and ineficiency
which are the vices Of the courtiers
who hang around thrones.
You are voting for common sense
and sincerity at Washington and
against an unbelievable narrow big
otYy and intolerance which claims a
monopoly CT RIGHT You seek team
worn in government and are against
one department barricading itself
to influence from another. You ask
for q leadership which consults and
counsels and are against a boss-ship
which gives orders which it writes
when in hermit isolation.
You are not voting for the Wilson
covenant, which is merely one of
.hc many phases of Wisconsin, but,
on the other hand, you are not
voting against closer and more
sympathetic relation with other ma
tiors, nor against any practicable
plan TO avoid OF to minimize the
danger Of war.
in . word, you are so convinced
that the Wilson Administration has
so muddled and messed both domes-
tic and foreign affairs that you
would place in power those who have
not the benefit Of the Administra-
TONS support.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-02
The Issue That Failed

The campaign on the Wilson, Cox
side was conceived in fraud, born in
hypocrisy and nurtured in misrepre-
sentation. Its constant effort was
to distract attention from it's own
plain record and to fasten on SEN
ator Harding and the Republican
party responsibility for our failure
to enter the League of Nations,
whereas Mr.. Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party are solely responsible.
The Congressional election Of
1918 revealed to Mr.. Wilson the
esteem in which his Administration
was held. How could he shift the
issue and perhaps secure a different
verdict in 1920? His mind flew to
the thought Of making partisan use
of the peace negotiations. In 1916
he had asked for reelection on the
ground that he had kept us out of
war. If he could bring together
again the pacifst clements which had
reelected him and add to them the
independents and Republicans likely
to be caught by his pretended devo-
ton to lofty ideals he might win
again.
A league of peace project, the
credit for which would go to him,
was obviously Mr.. Wilson's best
hope. He had been i loud advocate
of an extreme form of national isola-
tion but having shown on many oc-
casions his ability to reverse himself,
the thought Of inconsistency did not
worry him.
A plan was carefully prepared.
Mr.. Wilson determined to go to
Europe and to play a dramatic part
in the parleys. He refused to make
the peace commission national, for
such commission might interfere
with his design. Instead he named
clerks and courtiers. Many have
aScrlbed his appearance at Paris to
egoism and temperamental aversion
to advice. But back of these things
was spirit of cold calculation. If
the undertaking went through, glory
would be harvested; if it did not.
the maneuver was to be to throw
the blame elsewhere. Juggling for
domestic partisan advantage marked
all the activities Of the American
delegation at Paris.
When it became clear that the
covenant would not be accepted here
without reservations Mr.. Wilson put
in motion plan No. 2 of his strategy.
He fought the ratification of the
treaty, and finally, through a union
of his Senators and the Borah- John
son group, succeeded in beating it.
Mr.. Wilson doubtless believed he
had developed winning issue-that
if the Republicans stuck to the
Lodge reservations the Borah-J ohm
son group would bolt, and that if
they did not Republicans who be-
lieved in the league idea would bolt.

4. E. F. Against Cox
And Having Gone to War They Are
Igai1lM Wilson [eaoue


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS former officer of the A. f. f.
who saw action on two fronts and spent
year in France, should like to state
my views on the coming election, not
because they are my views alone but
because | believe they are quite gener-
ally shared by the 100000 men who
went to France
We former men of the army have
been reading with great interest, and
noting for reference on Election Day.
Mr.. Cox's editorials in The Dayton
News which he caused to be published
for many months during the war. We
note especially that Mr. Cox thought
that worse things might happen than
for Germany to win the war, that an
alliance with Germany would have Ger
tain advantages, and that his German
friends were very estimable people.
We of the A. z. T. took stern and
bloody issue with Mr.. Cox's attitude.
1t is true that the German friends
succeeded in killing or wounding some
100000 of us, but largely because of
the Democratic Administration policy
of unprcparcdness. We will think of
this on Election Day.
Mr.. Cox is now making a bclatcd eff
fort to get chummy with the A. T. +.
He is making fcrvid references to the
gold star mothers, and is appearing in
the movies with wounded soldie :. Mr.
Cox might explain why, after two
years, the Democratic Administration
has done nothing substantial for the
widows and dependents, the wounded
and disabled. This, too, we will rcmem-
Der on Election Day.
Some of the Democratic papers brlit-
tie Mr. Cox's German editorials and
speak favorably Of his war record
Anybody who has ever heard of any
war that Hr. Cox made a record in, may
step forward and claim the bcautifu
hand embroidered solid silver wound
chcvrons.
AS tor the Administration pet hobby
the League Of Nations, every soldier
returned to the good old L. S. A. with
an earnest desire to stay out of the
endless minor quarrcls of Europe. Mr.
Cox has probably never been in Europe
and it is all theory with him, whereas
it is practical experience with us.
Whenever great moral issue threat
ems civilization we can go in without a
League of Nations and did.
