PRESIDENT WILSON'S
POLITICAL MISTAKES
NEITHER PARTY SEES ELECTION
AS BEING SOLEMN REFER
ENDUM.

New York, Nov. 6.-Was it "sol-
emn referendum" on~the League of
Nations?
Prominent democrats consistent
followers of President Wilson, say it
was not. Republicans of standing are
equally quick to reply that the cleo
tion of Harding and Coolidge could
not properly be construed as the re-
suit of such referendum.
In other words. democrats and re-
publicans agree that President Will
son has made at least two disastrous
political errors in his career.
The first contributed to the result
of Tuesday. This was the appeal, in
the midst of the war, for the election
of a democratic congress and thus
putting himself in the position of
placing the war on a partisan basis.
Before the issuance of this statement
by the president, republican leaders
admit they had little hope of making
substantial gains in the Senate or
the House. But this appeal of the
president, which was followed by the
dispatch of private messages to cer-
tain districts instructing the demo-
cratic organizations not to fight re-
publicans who had supported Wilson,
turned the tide.
AS to the present sweeping victory
of the republicans, prominent demo-
cratic leaders declare that but for the
presidents insistance upon the league
as an issue, little would have been
heard of it. Democrats believe that
the republican victory was due large
ly to a reaction, such as has been
evident in practically all countries,
against the party in control during
the war; the desire for "a change.
But the first evidence that such de-
sire was to develop followed the issu-
ance of President Wilson's congress
sional appeal in 1918.
BY clinging to the league issue, the
president has given cause for the be-
lief that on the face of Tuesday
nights returns, the United States Will
not enter league, or association OF
nations. But, it is not stretching the
point to say that in so far as leaders
are concerned, only the president,
Senator Johnson and other republi-
can "irreconcilables" put such an in
depreciation upon the result.
1t is pointed out that the presl-
dent has had an unhappy faculty OF
getting himself into such positions in
several instances One of a minor
nature was the recent dispute with
Senator Spencer, of Missouri, over
what the president said as to sending
troops to Europe in one of the ses-
sions of the peace conference. The
president wrote that he would leave
the question of veracity to the voters
of Missouri. The election in MIS-
souri, naturally did not rest on the
question of whether Spencer or VIII
SON was telling the truth about some
thing that was said Is months ago.
Other issues were involved. And to
the minds of many democrats and re-
publicans alike the election was little
more of a league referendum" than
it was a test of veracity of the pres
ident and Spencer.

GERMAN BUSINESS
IN ITALY AGAIN
FOREIGN EXCHANGE FAVORS
ITALIANS TRADING WITH FOR
MER ENEMY COUNTRY.

Rome, Nov. 6.-The Germans are
once more making business prov
ince of Italy. That is the cold truth
of the present situation.
Before the war tht Germans were
thick in Italy. They helped make
Milan great industrial center. Their
money helped develop Turin. They
got their hands on banks as well as
on factories and wholesale and retail
stores.
When Italy went into the war, Ital-
ians hoped that their business and
financial independence would come.
They hoped the peace would find an
Italy owend and developed by Ital-
ians.
But all conditions have worked
against this. In the first place, many
of the supposed sales by Germans OF
their interests in Italian business
houses were mere fake sales. And
now they are coming back again.
But aside from this, Italy is being
forced by hard circumstances to deal
with Germans America is very dis
tant and absorbed in her own af-
fairs. England and France drive
a hard bargain every time they sell
Italy anything.
Also. while the lira is away down
in England and France, it isn't as low
as the German mark.
In other words, compared with pre-
war days. ii takes more lire to buy
the same things in England and
France, but it takes less in Germany.
Therefore, it pays Italian merchants
to deal with German manufacturers.
America could get all this business,
If our men would just go after 1t and
rive the Italians a chance for their
white alley.

it would be ratified; but said no man

The peace should be American
peace. The war could have been
fought successfully as either a Demo
