 GAIT FOR LEAGUE

New York, Oct. 21.-Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt who hitherto has kept silent on the campaign in spite of the earnest urgings of Will H. Hays and George White has at last come out squarely for Cox and become a vice president with Alexander Graham Bell, ex-president Eliot, Theodore Marburg and Herbert Parsons of the Pro-League Independents.
 In the mammoth meeting this af- ternon at St. Louis Professor Irving Fisher read the following letter from Mrs. Catt:
 To Professor Irving Fisher: I am glad to accept appointment as one of Vice Chairman of the Pro-League In- dependents. I am enrolled in no party and desire to continue a non partisan. I have long been an advo- cate of a League of Nations and I now believe in the League because a League in the hand is worth any number of Leagues fin the bush.
 agree with Senator Johnson who said Cleveland, Oct. 14) that "The League of Nations is the greatest campaign issue since the Civil War" When he announces further that Mr. Harding "wants neither interpreta- tions nor reservations, but rejection" and MT. Harding does not object, it becomes clear that the way to enter the League does not lie in the direc- tion of MT. Harding.
 The only hope promised by the Root statement purporting to represent the League wing of the Republican party, is that if MT. Harding if elected will cause an entire new covenant or a fundamental revise of the present one to be written. What next? To se- cure its necessary adoption by the Senate, sixty-four votes are required. Even though the most roseate Repub- lican expectations are realized in the coming election that party could not command more than fifty-sIx and this number would be hopelessly divided between the group led by Senators Johnson and Borah which will consent to no League and those who might be rallied to the support of the new covenant.
 The Republicans would be forced to secure anywhere from twenty to forty Democratic votes in order to ratify the new proposal. Is it reas- enable to suppose that these Demo- crats will be more literally intention ed toward a Republican covenant than Republicans were toward an alleged Democratic covenant? A senatorial deadlock seems the only possible re- suit arising from that combination of circumstances.
 Should the impossible eventuate however, and MT. Harding plus sixty four senators come to agreement up on a new or much amended covenant what then? The United States must present the proposal to the organized nations now composing the League with the explanation that the price which this country demands for en- trance into the League is a covenant of our own writing.
 The covenant built in Paris by the official representative of many na- tions through weary weeks of effort, through concessions, rejections, com promise until a common agreement had been reached must be thrown into the discard and a new one made in America" substituted. Would the world accept so preposterous a pro posal, or if the necessary majority of nations should accept the covenant which suits us, how many and what nations unable to accept the Ameri-
