AMERICA TO RESUME LEADER.
SHIP. +

President Harding in his Memorial
Day speech at the Arlington National
cemetery rejected the policy of isola
ton, and declared that, while surrend-
ering none of it's independence, the
United States will not only cooperate
with other nations but will accept
leadership in the restoration of nor
malcy in the war-t0rn world.
The assurance against the sur
render of our independence was a
superfluity. Our Federal Constitution
places this country's independence be-
yond the power Of any president or
any congress to impair or surrender.
The all important part Of the Presi-
dents speech is his declaration that
the United States will accept leader
ship in world affairs.
In other words, accept the position
won by the Wilson administration.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1921-06-01

Z OF course the Harding administra-
ton can have nothing to do with
the League OF Nations, or at least il
must keep saying so. Nevertheless our
international relations are pushing
domestic questions into inferior po-
sitions. This is contrary to the Pres
ident's speeches and intention of three
months ago. They can say what they
may the questions which are now CIV
ing most concern to our government
are questions included in and cover
ed by the provisions of the League OF
Nations Covenant.
This country went down with a
smash from the heights reached by
the Wilson administration in interna-
tional affairs. But the men who
helped to pull down have begun to
see things in a different light. They
have commenced to creep back up
the hill that Wilson climbed.

NO WONDER 1T RAINS

One cubic mile of moist air heated
to Sc degrees contains about 100000.
tons of water.
Air is a mixture of oxygen and
nitrogen, about 20 parts Of oxygen
mixed with 80 parts of nitrogen. Water
is mixture of hydrogen and oxygen,
about II parts of hydrogen mixed with
about SO parts of oxygen. From this
it will be seen that there is reason
ably close relationship between air
and water, for one-fifth of the air
and about $40 of the water is one
and the same element. n
The rays Of the sun, which pro-
duce no heat by their passage thru
space, do produce heat by their pas
sage thru air, and at the surface of
the earth, where the greater density
prevails. the greatest heat is pro-
duced. The rays of the sun vaporize
y ( : ~ u ~ I
moisture at the surface of the earth
until the air becomes more or less
saturated, according to the tempera-
ture. A breeze Of cold air up in the
sky reduces the temperature and cool
or cold air will not carry anything
like as large a percentage of mois-
ture as warm air, and the moisture
falls to the earth in the form Of rain.
If the moisture in all the air over
Delaware County on warm day
should fall to the earth in "a hours
it would produce duplication of
Noah's flood here in the Mississippi
valley.

at MUST NOT BE AGAIN."
(From New York WORLD

Laying a wreath on one of the
5,212 flag-draped caskets of soldier
dead on the pier at Hoboken, Presi-
dent Harding exclaimed: at must not
be again! 1t must not be again!
God grant it will not bel"
This is a noble statement and a
true sentiment, expressing what is in
the hearts of an overwhelming ma
jority of the American people, yet
one may ask in good faith and in all
respect to the inspiring emotions Of
the President what he and his Adj
ministration are doing to prevent the
recurrence of another war with even
greater destruction of life and prop
erty and even created peril to civili-
cation.
When the American people were
making their sacrifices in the troub-
led years of 1917 and 1918 they be-
lieved they were engaged in war
to end war. Mr.. Harding's Ambas-
sador to the Court of st. James's, in
stump speech at the Pilgrims din
ner, has told the British people in
effect that this was an amiable de-
fusion. We had no motive, he says,
except to save our own skins. We
sent our troops to Europe "solely to
save the United States of America, and
most reluctantly and laggardly at
that" Our only accomplishment was
that 1--WE came along toward the end
and helped you and your allies shorten
the war. That is all we did"
Consequently the United States will
not have anything to do with the
League of Nations, cor with any COM
mission or committee appointed by it
or responsible to it, directly or in
directly, openly or furtively."
More than 500 representatives of
the Pro-League Republican independ-
ents have sent cablegram to Lord
Robert Cecil protesting against Mr..
Harvey's speech and denying his
statement that the Harding majority
against the entrance of the United
States into the League of Nations,
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1921-06-01

1t was fitting to send message to
Lord Robert Cecil, who helped to
draft the covenant of the League, who
has been one of its stanchest cham
pions and who represented the South
African Republic at the first meet
ing Of the League Assembly. It would
have been still more fitting to send
this message to the President of the
United States, who is responsible
for his Ambassador to the Court Of
st. James's and also for the foreign
policy of he American Government.
However offensive Mr.. Harvey's
speech may be to the conscience of
the country and however emphatically
it may be repudiated by Pro-League
Republicans, Mr.. Harding has not re-
pudiated it. Mr.. Hughes has not re-
pudiate it. No responsible spokesman
for the Administration has repudiated
it. On the contrary, it stands as an
expression OF the Presidents own
views toward the League and an ex-
preston of his confident belief in the
thoroughly selfish and sorbid motives
Of the American people when they
entered the war.
Nobody need question the sim
cerity of President Harding's express
sion of hope in the presence OF the
soldier caskets that such war will
not happen again. The fact remains
that the President has refused to have
anything to do with the only agency
ever created which was invested with
power to avert war or to limit the
scope of war; Not only that, but while
Withholding all American participa-
ton, official representatives of the
Harding Administration are doing
everything that lies in their power
to destroy the League to which near
ly fifty nations have adhered and
which they are endeayoring to make
effective for the preservation Of the
peace of the world.
Mr.. Harvey's London speech is i'm
portant only to the degree that it
represents the Presidents own opin-
ion, and nothing has yet come to
light to indicate that George Brinton
Mcclellan Harvey was not the ac-
credited spokesman Of Warren Ga
maliel Harding. Nor has any means
yet been found to reconcile the for
eign policies of the Harding Admin
istration, in so far as they are known,
with an aggressive desire to prevent
another world war.
