SNEAKING INTO THE LEAGUE
George Harvey To Represent Presi-
dent Harding In League
Supreme Council

supreme COuncll
George B. Mcclellan Harvey, editor
of Harper's Weekly, has been apoint-
ed Ambassador to Great Britain.
While he supported Woodrow Wilson
in his first election to the Presidency
and two of his terms, he became his
most vindictive critic in 1915.
George Harvey was named o Cen
eral George b. Mcclellan, the most
personally popular general in the
Civil War, who was Governor of New
Jersey in 1778-81. General Mcclellan
was a Democrat, and so was George
Harvey until he learned he could not
boss Woodrow Wilson. Then he be-
came his most virulent critic.
Leon Albeit while Governor of New
Jersey in 1890-93, appointed George
Harvey to a good paying State office
and on the Governors staff, which po-
sition gave him the title of Colonel
a tin soldier on dress parade. George
Harvey was then a special writer for
the New York World which published
a page Of special New Jersey news
with George Harvey as editor.
The publishing house of Harper
Brothers has been backed financially
bv sae big banking firm of J. Pierpont
Morgan. Harvey was the first great
adv ocate of Woodrow Wilson for
President, even before he was elected
Governor of New Jersey in 1910, be-
cause he was president of Princeton
University, the rich mans college. He
had criticized William J. Bryan and
was presumed to be the full tedged
Cievcland-Wall Street Democrat. But
Woodrow Wilson, under the influence
of William j. Bryan, saw new visions,
whereby he united the party and prn--
ciples of both and became the political
leader of the world.
When big business, whose spokes-
man George Harvey was, learned that
Woodrow Wilson could not be cajoled
nor influenced by the money power OF
big business. plutocIacy opened ITS
poison gas thru the daily press with
George Harvey as chief creator of
political %vitrioI. Last year Harvey was
the leading writer Of President Hard
ing's speeches wherein he spoke so
much he said he " thought about
being a parrot Of "best minds
Well. George Harvey was appointed
ambassador to Great Britain, by Presl-
dent Harding.
Charles Hughes, Secretary of State,
on Nav 6. sent a reply to the message
of Llovd George, Premier Of Great
Great Britain, in part as follows:
'The government of the United
States is deeply interested in the
proper ECONOMIC adjustment and IN
the lust settlement of the matters of
the Worldwide Importance which are
under discussion in these conferences
and desire h|elpfully to cooperate IN
the deliberations upon these questions;
"Mr. George Harvey, appointed
Ambassador to Great Britain, VIII De
instructed on his arrival in England,
TO take part as the representative OF
the President of the United States IN
fhe deliberations of the Supreme Coun-
Gil Tof the League of Nations.J
You will notice the first reason
piven for Ambassador Harvey's JOIN
the Supreme Council is "econo-
not American principles for
humanity which Woodrow Wilson led
the World War in. George Harvey Is
+be Ambassador of the House Of Nor
bankers rather than President OF
American democracy. He will go as
far as the financial interest of his
employers want, because Presl-
dent Harding said the League was
dead.
But then. Mr.. Harvey may be at
tending the awake" or looking for the
lob of undertaken at the burial.
But keep watching and see, as time
progresses, whether the League OF
Nations does not have more political
lives than William J. Bryan.
