WASHINGTON, Oct. Especial
News Correspondence)- )-senator Me-
dill Mccormick, in a desperate effort
to draw public attention away from
high taxes, high living costs, New
berryism, the huge deficit in the treas
ury, strikes, coal shortage and other
troubles, tries to raise the issue of the
league of nations. He taunts the Dem
ocrats with having dropped the
league.
A few weeks ago the country was
astounded that Secretary Hughes
would reopen as foul a wound as the
Newberry scandal; now the thinking
people arc astonished that Mccormick
should bring up a subject upon which
his party has such a record Of taking.
So far as the Democratic attitude is
concerned, it is recognized that the
election in November can have no di
rect bearing on the fortunes of the
league one way or another. II the
Democracy should lick the platter
clean in the coming election II would
be in no position to initiate or carry
through any desires it might have in
the matter of the league. The con-
stitution gives to the house of repre-
sentatives, for control of which the
Democrats are fighting, no voice in
the determination of our foreign poll
cies excepting in the matter OF de-
claring war. If the Democrats should
win all the senate seats in contest they
could not control that body, which
the President, who stands pledged to
an association of nations, is. notwith-
standing that pledge. bar to such
union for peace.
