Thinks Cox Tynsiyc on League

When Mr.. Cox comes 20 positive
statements Of policy toward the
League, he justifies what he calls the
"captiousncss" OF those who "say
that our platform reference to the
League is vacue and indefinite" He
seems to accept the Wilson plan,
and yet none can say that he would
not accept the mild reservations, the
Lodge reservation, or other inter-
pretations and additions yet un-
thought Of. Mr.. Cox discloscs the
drifting mind OF candidate with
out convictions hut desperately con-
scious OF two things--to the Prosl-
dent he must seem to be with him;
10 tho people, whose votes he needs.

more than a mere challenge to the

mere reaffirmation Of the party's and
