That the Milwaukee railway will build in from
Agawam is more than a possibility, as the road has
but 40 miles to construct to reach this city, and if
it comes in, no doubt will locate shops here. The

.HANDS-OFF
IN EUROPE A
DEAD POLICY
Harding Recognizes Ne
cessity of America TAX
ing a Hand Abroad.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 25.-
Americas foreign policy is develop
ing-not changing. The most inter
esting attitudes are being called
"isolationist" policy. No less a per-
son than President Harding him
self taboos the word "aloofness" in
referring to the scope of American
policy in the future.
Is this break with the "irrecon-
ciliables?" Is it inconsistent with
the movement which killed ratitica-
ton of the covenant of the League
of Nations by the American senate.
The answer given by administra-
Llon people is an emphatic mega
tive. And as proof of their conten-
ton they ask the people to go back
to the round-robin of March, 1919,
signed by approximately 40 Repub-
lican senators under the leadership
of Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts.
That document announced opposi-
tion to the covenant of the league
"in the form now proposed" but
under no circumstances did it de-
nounce the principle of interna-
tional cooperation. In fact, it urged
that peace between allies and the
Germans be concluded and that
the proposal for league of nations
to insure the permanent peace OF
the world should then be taken up
for careful and serious considera-
tion. 1t went on to say that 1t is
the sense of the senate that the
nations Of the world should unite
to promote peace and general dis
armament"
Among the signatures to the
round-robin are Warren G. Hard.
ing, of Ohio, Senators Hiram w
johnson of California and William
E. Borah of Idaho, and Franz
Brandegee of Connecticut.
Every move that the administra
tion has made in foreign policy ha.
been consistent with that doctrin i,
it is contended, and there is a dis
tinct tendency nowadays to argu,
that the purpose has always beeI
the same though admissions ar
/ that the administration was not S
inclined to work out its policy
