u. S. TO KEEP ALO0F
FROM EUROPE'S BROILS
AMBASSADOR HARVEY TELLS
ALLIED LEADERS u. S. Bill
LIONS USED FOR ARMIES.

LONDON. - Ambassador Harvey
delivered long farewell speech at the
Pilgrims dinner tonight, in which he
reiterated the willingness of the Unit
ed States to help assess Germany's
capacity to pay separations, reviewed
the Monroe Doctrine and declared
that America must and would keep
aloof from the broils of Europe.
He reminded his large audience,
which included the British prime min
ister, Stanley Baldwin, the British
ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes,
and the French, Belgian and Japanese
ambassadors, that the United States
had waived all separations claims
from Germany for the joint account OF
the allies and was therefore disinter
ested, but that when America came to
the door of Europe to assist in set
Element of the reparations she found
the door closed.
Cannot Smash Door.
1--WE are ready to promote any
scheme for the economic rehabilitation
Of Europe" he declared. 1--WE are
ready to Join in any conference which
will promote the recuperation and sta
bility OF the world, but we cannot
smash in the door"
Count de Saint Aulaire, the French
ambassador, hgeted uncomfortably in
his chair as Colonel Harvey asserted
that billions of money lent to Europe
by the United States was being used
to maintain greater armies than had
ever before existed
Colonel Harvey in his speech re-
ferred to Secretary of State Hughes
assertion that no isolation but indie
pendence is the cardinal doctrine OF a
republic, and asked: as it a harsh
doctrine? Is it narrow? Is it ungen-
erous? Is it mean?
GAS che who weighs in the balance
the considerations which seem to be
actuating the European powers our
position, in a relative sense at least,
could hardly be pronounced lndeten-
sible, wholly disregarding the irrefut-
able fact that billions OF our money,
borrowed by our government and
then loaned by Our government, are
still being used to maintain greater
armies than ever before existed Tor
purposes surely of no concern to us.
Have we not at least tried to help win
the peace, as the rather absurd popu-
lar phrase runs, as once upon a time
we tried to help win the war;?
The ambassador recalled that year
ago, when it was apparently the uni
versal opinion in Europe that the cruX
OF the settlement lay in determining
the amount Germany could pay, and
only an unbiased authority could as
certain that satisfactorily, the moral
obligation seemed to rest upon the
United States, which was disinterest-
ed because it had waived all repara-
ton claims on Germany.

dor continued. every reluctantly elev-

went as far as diplomatic usage per-
mits, and without even requiring a
formal request from any power Of

ton. If you knew the United States

that was d somewhat brave thing to

The Employers Viewpoint

1t protects and preserves the in
tegrity Of the compensation law.
1t wipes out the "open liability
giving recourse only to the compensa-
ton law or injuries or death arising
out of and in course Of employment.
1t fixes limit of financial liability
in such cases and protects the assets
and credits of the employer.
1t defines "lawful requirement" so
as to bring it within the rule of rea-
son, and gives the employer notice of
his specific obligations under it.
1t provides a fund for laboratory
analysis of accidents and the provision
of means for prevention, which should
result in saving of life and limb and
a substantial reduction in total awards
and premiums.
1t abolishes the "ambulance-chaser
in connection with these claims.
The experience of Ohio employers
and claimants with suits filed under
the open liability provision of the
workmen's compensation law prove
that the adoption of the amendment
is in the interest of both employer
and employe. Vote eyes" on the
amendment which will be the first of
the amendments on the ballot.
