Puts It On to Harding.
Governor Cox also asked Senator Y
Harding some questions concerning 3
his stand on the league of nations
calling attention to the Senator'S
speech of August 2s. in which he said q
that Congress. technically. could keep
the7 nation out OF war. but morally n
could not do so. Governor Coz said. i
Answer this. Senator Harding, yes e
or no. Do you mean that you aress
opposed to our assuming any moral rs
obligation in our International rela-
lions?
Then In the same speech yon say. q
1t is not uncommon for the adya-
Gates OF the league of Versailles 10 n
contrast unfavorably The Hague trr-
bunal upon the ground that the tri- q
bunal lacks teeth: very well, let's Il
put teeth into it. Please answer s
yes OF no. in the face of your stats- b
ment. to this question: Does the puts 81
ting of teeth into 1t mean the ass
sumins OF an obligation 10 exert b
moral or physical force. or both a.
Crux OF Argument. X
I'm one part OF your speech goa
say that this nation will not be made
to appear as 'welcher' because no &
obligation will be assumed. How do 20
you reconcile this with your program
Of putting teeth into The Hague s
tribunal? This approaches the. very d
cFux OF the whole argument and the IS
American people are entitled to know e
your mind. There can bo no evasion.
1t was possible In the Senate Tor Il
you to escape 1853 quorum and roll *
calls. but you cannot do 1t either rs 81
candidate or as President. You muse Il
answer yes or no. Executive duties, ~
unlike legislative. make either abb
senteeism. or clear evasion impot-s4 x,
