cox AND THE LEAGUE.

Sioux City Journal: Before the cam
paign becomes so impassiOned that the
real issues are obscured by the develop
ment CT partisan adherence, it is well
to calmly survey the facts so that n
basis for sound judgment may become
rooted in the popular mind. 1t will
then be easier to hold to the one
side or the other with Intelligence. 1t is
important to distinguish between "a"
league Of nations and 1.-THE" league Of
nations. 1t is essential that the differ
ence between ratification with reserya-
tions and ratification without reserva
lions such as the republican party both
in the senate and in its platform, as
well as by and through it's candidate,
Stands for, and reservations which the
democratic platform favors, be clearly
distinguished. 1t is well to keep be-
fore the country the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson is for unqualified ratifica-
ton of the covenant as he submitted
1T to congress, even though his party in
convention assembled, qualified his
position by adding that it does not OPP
pose reservations making clearer or
more specific the obligations Of the
United States to the league associates"
The people are not to sit in judgment
on "a" league or no league. They are
to sit in judgment on ratification of the
league as it was submitted to the SEN
ate by the president or with reserva-
tons which limit the obligation of the
government concerning its participa ton
in and its obligations to the league.
Those who believed the constitution
would dominate in all places where it
and the covenant came into conflict,
and that where such conflicts occurred
the covenant would be imperative and
tiOns to having the principles involved
put into positive terms, must decide be-
tween having no league and one with
reservations within their views, for
the Democratic platform specifically de-
nOunces such reservations because they
impair its essential integrity" Fair
ness TO Gov. Cox demands that his
speech Of acceptance he awaited before
his position on the league is either
criticised or condemned permanently.
However. it is essential that the public
keep an open and inquiring mind as to
what he says on that occasion. If he
accepts the presidents position, it
means that the league as submitted

The after-the-war trade of the
United States with the Far East shows
astonishing gains. We had been graft
fed, says statement of the National
City Bank OF New York, in the fact
that our exports to Asia had grown
from 113 million dollars in the fiscal
year Immediately preceding the war,
1914, to GOA millions in the fiscal year
which included it's close, 1919; but
this growth Of practically 500 million
dollars in five years Of war is followed
by a growth of 200 millions in the first
year of peace. Latest figures of our
exports to Asia as a whole, adds the
banks statement, indicate that the
total exports to that continent in the
fiscal year 1920, which ended June 30.
were SO4 million dollars against Goa
millions in the fiscal year 1919, gain
of 33 per cent in this first peace year
i'm which we were expecting that Asia
would return to her former habit Of
buying from western Europe. Appar-
entity her habit, developed during the
war, Of trading with the United States,

France is lucky in one respect, mt
least. The President Of France is in
very poor health and has been unable
to attend to the duties of his office for
some days. Recently he announced that
if his health did not improve inside
Of thirty days, enabling him to perform
his duties, he would resign his office.
The president Of France realizes that

try are of more Importance than the
realization of his own personal ambi-

PRIMARY REPEAL.


The Republican state convention put
"a plank in the platform fayoring re-
peal of the present primary law and
the enactment of law that promises
more satisfactory results. The plat
form says:
ACTUAL experience has demonstrated
that great evils have arisen in the use
Of the present primary law of this
state. 1t has been given fair trial
and found to be unwieldy. expensive
and unsatisfactory. We favor its re-
peal, and the substitution therefor Of
such primary legislation as will guar
antee to all voters the full right to
take part and to be heard in the cOun-
sells of their party and will provide
for them an opportunity for free and
sair expression as TO both candidates
md measures"
There is no question but that many
who favored the adoption of the pri-
mary system in this state and worked
hard to secure it are disappointed in
its practical workings. 1t was expect
ed that the plan would result in the
selection of candidates more satisfac-
tory to the rank and file Of the party
and that generally speaking better Off,
Gals would be chosen. But experience
has not justified this belief. More
over, it is too expensive, so expensive
that many men who would like to be
candidates and whose services would
he of benefit to the state are deferred
from entering the primary contest.
Besides, when there are four or five
|aspirants for the same Office the
chances are that under the 30 per cent
rule no nomination will be made at the
primary and the candida ties are forced
to make contest for the nomination
in the convention. Yet there is serious
objection to any plan that will permit
the nomination of II candidate who
cannot secure the endorsement Of ID
per cent of the voters. II the high man
is nominated, egardlesS Of the num-
Der of candidates in the field, 1t might
easily happen than the nominee would
mot be the choice of more than a very
small minority. Then there is the
question of Democrats voting for Re
publican candidates and Republicans
voting for Democratic candidates, thus
influencing the nomination ofstlie can
didate that might be the easiest TO
defeat at the election, .li1
The primary has proven satisfactory,
we believe, in the. nomination Of county
officers and members Of the legislature,
and there is a strong feeling that it is
all right as applied to tire nomination
of governor, members of the lower
house of congress and United States
senator's, but it might be used to defeat
the real choice Of the people for these
higher offices. There is little ques-
ton but that Senator Cummins would
have been defeated for United States
senator in the recent primary had
| there been three or four candidates in
the field, as it is likely that Col. Brook
hart could have controlled his follow
ing in the face of any opposition, while
diyiding his opponents. Herein lies
the danger of plurality nomina tons.
In n cony. nti,n the successful esndi-
date must secure a majority.
