tempt Of the world, would submit
an entirely new project. This act
would either be regarded as arrant
madness or attempted international
bossism.
Too Anxious to Win.
The plain truth is, that the Re-
publican leaders, obsessed with a
determination to win the presiden-
tial election. have attempted to sat-
isfy too many divergent views. In
constituencies, inevitable under the
circumstances, rise to haunt them
on every hand, and they find them
selves arrayed, in public thought
at least, against great principle.
More than that, their conduct is
opposed to the idealism upon which
their party prospered in other days.
Answers League Foes.
illustrating these observations
by concrete facts, let it be remem-
bered that those now inveighing
against an interest in affairs out
side Of America, criticised Presi-
dent Wilson in unmeasured terms
for not resenting the invasion of
Belgium in 1914. They term the
League of Nations a military alli-
ance. which, except for their op-
position, would envelop our coun-
try, when, as a matter of truth, the
subject Of the League of Nations
has claimed the best thought of
America for years, and the League
to Enforce Peace was presided over
by so distinguished Republican
as ex-President Taft, who, before
audiences in every section advo-
Gated the principle and the plan of
the present league. They charge
experimentation, when We have as
historical precedent the Monroe
doctrine. which is the very essence
of article 10 of the Versailles COW
,enant. Skeptics view Monroe's
mandate with alarm, predicting re-
current wars in defense of Central
and South American states, whose
guardians they allege we need not
be. And yet not shot has been
fired In almost one hundred years
in preserving sovereign rights on
this hemisphere. They hypocritic-
ally claim that the League of Ma
tons will result in our boys being
drawn into military service, but
they fail to realize that every high
school youngster in the land knows
that NO treaty can override our
constitution, which reserves to
congress. and to congress alone
the power to declare war. They

is:
I'VE advocate immediate ratifl-
cation Of the treaty without reser-
vations which would impair its
essential integrity, but do not OPP
pose the acceptance Of any reser-
walton making clearer or more spe-
cific the obligations Of the United
States to the league associates"
First Duty to Ratify Treaty.
The first duty of the new admin
istration clearly will be the. ratifi-
cation Of the treaty. The matter
should be approached without
thought of the bitterness of the
past. The public verdict will have
been rendered, and I am confident
that the friends of the world peace
as it will be promoted by the league,
will have in numbers the constitu-
tional requisite to favorable sena-
torial action. The captious may
say that our platform reference to
reservations is vague and indefi-
mite. Its meaning, in brief, is that
We shall state our Interpretation Of
the covenant as a matter of good
faith to our associates and as a
precaution against any misunder-
standing in the future. The point
is, that after the people shall have
spoken, the league will be in the
hands Of its friends in the senate,
and a safe index as to what they
will do is supplied by what reser-
vations they have proposed in the
past. Some months ago, in a con-
tributed article to the New York
Times, / expressed my own opin-
ion of the situation as it then was.
I reproduce it here:
Gives His Opinion.
There can be no doubt but that
some senators have been conscien-
tious in their desire to clarity the
provisions of the treaty. Two
things apparently have disturbed
them: First, they wanted to make
sure that the league was not to be
an alliance, and that its basic pur-
pose was peace and not contro-
versy. Second, they wanted the
other powers signing the instru-
ment to understand our constitu-
tonal limitations beyond which the
treaty-making power cannot go.
Dealing with these two questions
in order, II has always seemed to
me that the Interpretation Of the
function Of the league might have
been stated in these words:
"In giving its assent to this
treaty, the senate has In mind the
fact that the League of Nations
which 1t embodies was devised foy
the sole purpose Of maintaining
peace and comfy among the ma
tons Of the earth and preventing
the recurrence Of such destructive
conflicts as that through which the
world has Just passed. Ths cooper.
alton Of the United States with the
league and its continuance a. 4
member thereof. will naturally de.
pend upon the adherenee Of the
league to that fundamental pur.
pose

least express the view Of the
United States and justify the
course which our nation would un,

GOVERNOR JAMES N. COX.

S1cKeuS our senses 10 LnlQK Oh an
other. We saw one conflict into
which modern science brought new
forms of destruction in great guns,
submarines, airships, and poison
gases. 1t is no secret that our
chemists had perfected. when the
contest came to a precipitate close,
gases so deadly that whole cities
could be wiped out, armies de-
stroyed and the crews Of battle
ships smothered. The public prints
are filed with the opinions Of mil
itary men that in future wars the
method, more effective than gases
or bombs, will be the employment
Of the germs OF diseases, carrying
pestilence and destruction. Any
nation prepared under these condi-
tons, as Germany was equipped in
1914, could conquer the world in
a year.
Must Make War Impossible.
1t is planned now to make this
impossible. A definite plan has
been agreed upon. The League of
Nations is in operation. A very
important work, under its control,
Just completed, was participated in
by Hon. Elihu Root, secretary of
state under the Roosevelt admins
tratiOn. At meeting of the coun-
Gil of the League Of Nations, Feb.
IL, an organizing committee of II
of the most eminent jurists in the
world was selected. The duty of
this group was to devise a plan for
the establishment of a permanent
court Of international justice, as
branch of the league. This assign
ment has been concluded by unani-
nous action. This augurs we'll for
world progress. The question is
whether we shall or shall not Join
in this practical and humane move
ment. President Wilson, as our
representative at the peace table,
entered the league in our name,
in SO far as the executive author
ity permitted. Senator Harding, as
the Republican candidate for the
presidency, proposeSin plain words
that we remain out of it. As the
Democratic candidate, favor go
ing In. Let us analyze Senator
Harding's plan OF making a Ger
man-American peace, and then
calling for a new relationship
among nations" assuming for the
purpose Of argument only that the
perhdious hand that dealt with
Germany would possess the power
or influence to draw 20 nations
away from a plan already at work.
and induce them to retrace every
step and make a new beginnine,
This would entail our appointing
another commission to assemble
