COX HOLDS LEAGUE

GENEVA, Aug. 6 (Associated Press).--
"The welfare of the League of Nations
and the welfare OF our own country
would be advanced IL we entered into
full membership in the League Of Ma
tions; but it is apparent from an inti-
mate view of the situation here that
membership Of the United States Is not
essential to the life OF the League of
Nations" said James NJ. Cox, former
Governor OF Ohio, in a speech delivered
this evening to the secretariat OF the
League Of Nations.
We shall indulge in no predictions for
the future" Mr.. Cox continued, "but II
goes without saying that our country is
progressive and humanitarian. / have
no disposition to criticize our Government

It's policies are based upon con-
scientious regard for the common well

However. 1t must be remembered
that Presidents, Prime Ministers and
Cabinets come and go. International
conferences meet and adjourn, but the
League of Nations stands as a working
organization through 3s5 days in the
year as a permanent institution for
progress"
In referring to reparatlons Mr.. Cox
said: Those who destroyed property

bility. but only In so far as they are able

Mr. Cox, who has spent several DAYS
examining the workings Of the commis-
sions OF the league secretariat referred
20 a visit made to the Mandate Com
mission and said: "The critics OF the
league asserted that the mandate COM
mission was a mere cover for annexa-
tion. The good faith or the league was
put 10 a thorough test. II has been
met most successfully. The inundated
territories are free from the menace OF
selfish interests."
Mr.. Cox recalled a reference to the

Says Darling Libels Soviet.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
In your issue of February II
noticed Ding's cartoon .Commun-
ism. the Friend, of the People" In
1t Mr.. Darling pictures the Soviet
army as a glutton eating all Of
Russia's food supply, while millions
Of people starve., wish to make a
few comments on this cartoon.
First Of all, as Napoleon said, IAN
army lives on its stomach" For
that reason the. Soviet army must
be fed. But, IL the Soviet govern
ment was not constantly harassed
by counter-revolutions of the
Denekines, the Yudenitches, the
wrangles and others-supported by
allied and American gold--it would
not be necessary for the Soviet gov
eminent to keep this huge army
mobilized. And. too, IL Russia had
get food to the outlying districts
and prevent good deal of starva-
tion.. But she cannot get railway
supplies. Germany and England
cannot supply them quickly enough:
America who could do, so-inciden-
tally giving work to thousands of
unemployed men-blindiy refuses to
trade with the terrible long -haired
Bolshevists." Yet Russia has gold
with which to pay. for these sup
plies.
And as for the ravage-coun-
tenanced, long-haireds. and heavily
bearded soldier J, pictured by Mr..
Darling, tits grossly untrue to life.
Either Mr.. Darling Is, profoundly
ignorant Of Russisn life orielse he
intends to convey false imphessfons,
Russians are not given to obesity.
