VIEWS DIFFER IN
. BRITISH PAPERS
Sentiment for League Of Ma.
tons Seen in Result Of
American Elections.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-(By the AS.
ISOLATED Press) THE comeback
by the Democrats 10 the Ameri.
can elections last Tuesday is ex.
planned to British readers by
British newspapers in many ways
the views being quite diversified,
Some think the pendulum merely
swung back. but others take II
as widespread dissatisfaction with
the Harding administration and
many OF Its works, including the
tariff and the enforcement of pro.
hibition. Throughout England
the American elections have at,
tracted more editorial comment
than is often the case. =
The Times pays n tribute &c
the Harding administration as
one which has achieved the sue,
ccsc Of which America may well
be proud. That newspaper thinks
that the violence with which the
pendulum swung back may dis
arrange the Republican machln-
Iery in ways wholly undesirable
and Unforeseen.
Tho Chronicle regards the
Democratic victory as quite
enormous and significant. The new
strength OF the Democratic par.
ty will surely make itself felt,
the Chronicle adds, telling 1t
readers that the Democrats still
retain allegiance to the ideals Of
Woodrow Wilson. The West
minister Gazette derives from the
results the hope that events arc
veerlng somewhat towards CO.
operation with the League of Ma
tions and was surprised thar
women candidates were so unsuc-
cessful.
The Graphic sees in the election
results a triumph by the anti-pro-
'hibitionists and makes of 1t a
lesson to "the stupidity OF ex-
tremIsts."
The Dublin Freeman's Journal
says the Americans, when they
were sick OF Wilson and the
treaty OF Versailles, had to vote
Republican to get rid of them
but they did not desire to be
dosed with Republicanism.
THE result has a moral for
conservative politicians every
where" the Dublin paper con.
cludes.
