BOSTON. Mass, Oct. 12.-Dr. Morton
Prince. eminent as alienIst ana ci'lzen,
gives in the Herald OF yesterday ms
reasons for advocating the election OF
Senator Harding. To dIspassionaoe
readers they will appear as rather stronger
reason. for advocating the election oil
Goyernor Cox. The Herald publishes
DIR Princes reasons in some sort by way
of answer to Secretary Bakers recent
speech in this city, which speech 'he
Herald published IN full.
DIR Prince holds the League oi Natons
10 be the great issue. lie declares ms pe-
lief that America should not be gutter,
should assume her full responsibility ior
doing what she can to prevent announcer
world war in which, he implies tiia1 cl''
copnot hone to avoid being involved, ana
=. .h;s ond he advocates our entering
into league with the allied and asso-
ciated nations. such league as shall ne
satisfactory TO them, and that shall safe
c,,ard American policies and interests.
Uo is dissatisfied with both platforms
unon this issue. especially with the Re
nnhl;con because that platform was made
under the influence of Johnson, Boran
and other "little Americans. In spite OIL
a nlatform which MIR. Harding has ac-
cented DIR. Prince thinks the election OF
~ : ca,didate would insure that America
shall not be a Stacker in the matter OF
assuring world peace as part OF a League
of Nations, a league, but not the Wilson
league.
Dr Prince admits that Mr.. Harding
has been disappointing at tunes ID ms
utterances rs to league, but nc THINKS
his latest stand, as favorlng some m
definitely indicated agreement with other
powers and the creation OF an inter
national high court as suihclentiv Sats
factory assurance for those who would
make the world safe. incldentai!S ne
does not agree with some strained inter-
nrctations and neutrality-suspicious. Of
Article Y. to which he has no objection
cxcept that il seems of no practical use
He even saws he can understand how a
Renublican forced to make choice he
tween Joining no league or joining the
Wilson league might vote Tor CoN.
What DIR. Prince hopes and beheves j.
that the nations already IN the League
viii let us in on our own terms, an
opinion based upon utterances OF Lord
Crey and Lord Chancellor Blrkenhead OF
England He believes that but Tor Mr..
Wilson'S sticking for his own League

tions. we should now he snugly seated at
tho international hrcside with Lodge
reservations accepted by all the world.
lie argues for the possibility ana CON
stltutionality of MIR. Harding plan LOT
league contrived by the united wisdom
of Executive, Senate, House ana learned
outsiders, and he thinks Mr.. tiardlng
does well not to make specIt1c proposals
as Il, the terms of such a league. In other
sh1f tho r11rfV that
has fought 10 emasculate the League
Covenant wrought with infinite difficulty
a. Paris. the party that wished, or pre-
tended to wish. that We should enter that
League ahsolved from aIl scrous re-
Snonsihilitv. shall now be entrusted by
the American people with making another
covenant out q the nuns OF that nc
ootiatrd bv the statesmen Of the great
DIR. Princes article might wisely be
circulatrd as Democratic campaign
document. with proper annotatons, and
cSpeciaIIv with the very nub oi the
authors contention, which Is to be found
in this paragraph
If seems 10 ne that such league
ought 10 satisfy. in spite OF minor dI-
ferences of opinion, every voter-Kepul'-
Lcan. Democrat or lndependent-who
thinks we have had enough OF VII
sonism.
Those who have studied the psychology
of Wilsonphobia, and DR.. Prince Is an
eminent psychologist, recognize IN tins
paragraph the sign Of that odd mania
This mental disease IN only variant q
the ancient and familiar phobia, recur-
rent in our political history from the be-
ginning 1t was manifested eoWaIu
hos hHpyl toward every
yirile President since-the two Adamses,
Jefferson. Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelt,
and now Wilson. The sole argument Of
DR.. Prince for his friend Harding reduces
~ this: Elect Harding, and reject
manly, satisfactory league because you
hate Mr.. Wilson.
