Mr.. Harding now knows as well as
do the people of that country.
His recent speech is an insult to
every American soldier who took part
in the great conflict as we'll as to the
American people who made 80 many
sacrifices to win the war.
Every school boy knows that had
it not been for America stepping in at
the time she did all Of Europe would
today have been under control of the
German kaiser and he would today
have been signing himself Emperor
of Europe" instead of passing his de
clining days in exile
Harvey is simply an arrant coward
and a dwelling idiot End the sooner
President Harding calls him home
and retires him to private life the. bet
ter it will be for Harvey and the
United States.
He has made 4 blunder that can
never be erased. He has placed the
entire administration in an unenviable
position from Which it cannot extri-
cate itself.
He has cast slur upon the great
army and navy Of our country that
calls for and demands immediate re-
traction and denial.
He has shown that he either knows
nothing of the great ideals for which
this country stands or that he is too
cowardly to proclaim to the world
that which even his hearers know is
lost to them had not America stepped
in at the very moment she did and
with her crushing blows drove the
German army back to its own confines
and forced them to beg for mercy and
sue for peace.
Harvey is too small to represent a
country school district at a county
convention and his presence among
the bright lights who compose the
councils of Europe will appear as a
barn.yard bug in bowl OF milk.
When Harvey told the British that
the United States would take part in
the Supreme Council but that under
no consideration would we take part in
the league of nations he no doubt eI-
pressed the sentiment Of President
Harding, but as some of the republi-
cans said of Mr.. Wilson, he is not
| the whole United States. It must be
remembered that several of Mr.. Hard
ing's warmest supporters, among them
some of the leading republican sena-
tors, favored the league Of nations
With some reservations, and It is more
than probable that the league Of ma
tions will again come up for consider
alton in the United States senate and
with some few alterations it is more
than likely that the United States will
become a fullfledged member of the
league of nations as well as a member
of the supreme council. Should we
remain out of the league on account Of
the bitter political opposition to Mr..
Wilson until Mr.. Harding's term ex-
pires, there is every reason to believe
that there will be a reaction and that
Mr.. Harding and his party will be
swept from power on account of the
attitude Of that party towards the
league Of nations and working classes.
There are many who contend that Mr..
Harding's election was a stroke at the
league OF nations but there are many
who voted for him who favored the
league Of nations and who believed
that we would take our place in that
league when the proper reservations
were made. Just now Mr.. Harding
seems to be somewhat peeved over the
speech of his man Friday, but that is
all deception. Harvey was well
coached before he was sent across the
pond.
