~ Cd hates a coward, the saying
III goes. So do most men and all


women - especially American
men and women. And that is one
/, reason that this Quadruple Alliance
treaty is going to go the way the
recent Mr.. Wilson's League of Ma
ions went.
The argument that Mr.. Hughes
! and his supporters make is that by
forming an alliance with England
and Japan we will be safe from
British and Japanese aggression and
attacks.
In plain American language, we
can buy British and Japanese for
bearance by scrapping part Of our
navy, leaving our naval bases un-
fortified and putting ourselves at
the mercy of the British and Japan
ese fleets and armies in case they
, are dissatisfied with our conduct.
A fine position for our strong and
| wonderful America to assume in the
eyes of the world! A fine argument
tfor an American to make!
1. Think of tour America is to
Ibuy the right to live and to trade
in the world by surrendering her
might and her power and her de-
i1fenses on land and sea to the guard
eianship of England and Japanl
This country of ours, this mighty,
wonderful America of ours, this Re-
public which in all its rightful and
necessary wars has stood alone and
gloriously defended itself and beaten
its enemies on land and on sea; this
state, the mightiest which wise
policy and invincible valor and high
intelligence and free institutions
ever brought forth in all the tides
of time-this America of ours must
no longer rely upon the courage and
capacity OF. her own people, but must
hide from future perils behind the
fleets and armies Of two foreign
nations and pay them for protection
by humbly agreeing to destroy her
ships of war and her forts and guns
ON the island outposts in the Pacific.
Citizens, that is exactly what this
mean, pusillanimous, shameful, cow
ardly and abominable treaty pro-
poses.
Never mind the camouflage Of fine
phrases, the disguise Of lying ex-
cuses, the concealment Of plausible
explanations.
There lies the treaty of alliance
itself.
There lies the accompanying
treaty of surrender itself. Look at
the ugly, mean, cowardly things as
they are. :,
Strip them of their DISCUSSES and
see them in their naked meanness
and viciousness.
Picture to yourself what George
Washington would have said had his
Secretary of State, hand In hand
with British accomplish, proposed
that he sign his American name to
such documents.
Picture to yourself what Jefferson
would have said, what Lincoln
would have said, what Cleveland
would have said to such proposal
Some editorial ignoramus - we
forget which one of the numerous Gus
feliowship-went into raptures the
other day over the clarity of this
treaty of alliance-how it insured
neace forever and a day because 1t
was so plain that it permitted no
possible misinterpretation.
And the very next day President
Harding told the newspaper CORE
spondents in the morning that the

fine woods produced by Msvico will be
featured, although there will be large
exhibits Of the industrial, mineral. and
