Veteran of South
Wants Joint Meeting

To the Editor Of The Star:
As a. Confederate veteran, in at
tendance on the recent reunion Of the
limited Confederate Veterans at New
Orleans, I wish to commend the edi-
torial in The Star of the 18th instant,
suggesting a joint meeting OF the
Confederate and G. A. r. organiza-
tions in Washington.
While such a meeting could not be
held prior to 1925. as both organi-
cations are committed definitely to
certain cities for their next meeting
places, still 1t is not too early to
begin the creation of a sentiment for
q ioint session in Washington IN
1926, as I realize that there will be
opposition on both sides to such a
both ranks are to be convinced as to
the desirability of the joint, and per
haps final, meeting OF both bodies, for
IL can be made OF such transcendent
value to our country that patriotic
motives should conquer all objectors.
Constitution and government OF the
United States has been proven
through two wars, but there are
those who would still perpetuate the
bitterness that arose from the civil
war, keeping the two sections apart,
when tho interests OF our country
demand. as never before in it's his
tory. the united sentiment and active
support of all true Americans.
The joint meeting Of the old SOL
diers Of the Blue and Gray would
prove the strongest bond that could
be given against foes. within or
without, and no one who realizes the
dangers that are now confronting us
as a nation could possibly oppose the
giving of such a bond. Having
started the movement, in tho ad-
mirable editorial above referred to-,
I hope The Star will continue until
united press shall echo through
out the entire land the real need for
the suggested meeting.

Middle Ground Held PerilOus
Position for President Harding

number of delegates covered by those
states which have direct primaries
was 465 out of 9S4. roughly. which
compose the republican convention.
Four hundred and sixty-five is little
less than half. The present writer is
not sufficiently familiar with what
was done by all the state legislatures
to speak with confidence, but is
strongly under the impression that
this number 465) has not been in
creased
When Senator Pepper of Pennsyl-
vania publicly proposed that the
league Of nations should reorganize
itself by eliminating those features
of it which are Objectionable to some
Americans, it was because of Senator
Peppers standing and his identifica-
tion with the old irreconcilable group.
an event Of the highest Importance.
The reaction of many persons was ex-
pressed in the question. why doesn't
Hughes say that formally to the
league?" The obvious difference be-
tween Secretary Hughes and Senator
Pepper is that the former is in an
official. responsible position and the
latter is not. Anything Secretary
Hughes says to the league calls for
a formal reply. Senator Pepper is
able to throw his suggestion into the
air. Doubtless there are good reasons
why Secretary Hughes should refrain
from making this suggestion Off
cially. And yet many persons in
Washington think that both Hughes
and Harding are unnecessarily tinid.
unnecessarily hesitant about initfa-
tive in the matter of foreign rela-
tions. If they are so there is good
reason for 1t. They remember that ii
was a President of the United States
who first proposed the league of ma
tions; that thereafter it was the re-
fusal of the Senate of the United
States to stand by it's Presidents
proposal that caused most of the COM
motion that now affiicts the world.
Unquestionably both Harding and
Hughes have had in the front Of their
minds as one of the first principles
of their code of conduct that the
United States shall not again put
itself in the position of it's President
promising something and it's Senate
refusing to ratify. They will make
no proposal to the league Of nations
without first being sure that the Sem
ate will back them UP. President
Harding once, said: This administra-

ton will make no promises il does not
intend to keep and no threats it does
not intend to carry out. 1t may De
that the vividness of their unhappy
memory of what happened to Presl-
dent wilson's promise and what f1ow-
ed from our Senate's failure to back
him up makes Harding and Hughes
even more cautious than they need to
be. Some one said the other day that
they are suffering from shell shock
incurred in the war over the league
of nations.
Whatever Hughes or Harding do in
the way of promoting international
co-operation. no matter how far they
go and no matter how much they ac-
complish, if it is short of actually
Joining the league it will be unsatis-
factory to the American partisans OF
the league. The thick -and-thin ad-
vocates of the league In its original
form will not be satisfied with any
thing which is a mere approximation
to it. 1t is essential and fundamental
in their theory that a universal
league, committed to the use or 1orce,
il necessary, is the only solution, anu
that anything short Of that Is, by
reason of the very omission OF any
one nation. futile. They say we must
dive icto the water where it is deep
est and somehow manage to swim
All who propose a gradual approach
to the league or who propose mere
" international cooperation among
some of the nations are regarded by
the league zealots as being In the
position Of the one who said: Hang
your clothes on a hickory limb. but
don't go near the water" Neverthe-
less. it is clear that the achievement
OF universal international co-opera-
tion for the prevention of war is
going to be a process or SLOW ana

of those mistakes of strategy which
are fatal.
without meaning to imply anything
about the merits of their various pro-
posals, ii can be said that the radical
group in the lower House and the
Senate have not achieved an amount
OF concrete fulfllment anywhere in
proportion to the considerable guam
tity and somewhat disturbing quality
of their occasional pronouncements.
When you examine the record you
find that their predicting and pro-
claiming are rather out of proportion
10 their actual accomplishment. For
example, one of the things very
broadly proclaimed somewhat less
than a year ago was that there would
he an extension of the direct primary
system-indeed. that the presidential
primary was going to be made uni
versal and that party conventions
would disappear entirely. Senator
Hiram Johnson of California and
senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. as
we'll as some others. declared they
would put through Congress a law
for a nationwide presidential pri-
mary by federal statute. This has
not happened and will not happen.
When they came to the point of
actually looking the situation in the
face they were so quickly convinced
of it's impossibility that they did not
even make the effort.
Another prediction was that even
without adopting federal presiden-
fial primary the direct primary would
lie extended to such Il degree as prac-
tically to cover the entire country by
action on the part of the forty-three
state legislatures which met this
year Most of those state legislatures
nave now adjourned. And IL any one
OF them adopted the direct. primary
the present writer is not familiar
with the fact. In some states the at
tempt was made, but abandoned. In
some other states where the direct
urinary already exists, like Maine.
New Hampshire and Indiana. there
we're efforts actually to abandon the
,lkrect primary. The efforts were not
in all cases successful, but they gave
evidence of an amount of dissatisfac-
lion with the direct primary fully
cuual to the disposition to extend 1t.
