THE LEAGUE AGAIN 7 "It ig probable that many of our citizens entertain a more or less vague notion of the influence of the league of nations covenant would have upon the wefare of the United States .in case it should be accepted by this nation. Some have a visionary idea that world peace would somehow be established and made permanent if ] America should lend its power to the ' league. They have made no real at- \ tempt to eatimpte the coat to them Ox to their country of guch a proceed- ! teg. and permit their minds to dwell only upon the blessings that would come U .war should be no more. Others have a more or leaa well de- . toed notion that the independence of . the United States would be compromised in some way if the covenant •rare adopted, bit, too, would have difficulty- in explaining their misgivings were tbey called upon for a reason. "Now, it requires no profound study j of the 2d sections of the covenant, nor £ it, to bring home to every one of our .. citizens a vivid realization of just what would , happen if the United States were bound 4*y. its terms today, pad what the future .would hold . for V America were its restrictions tO;J»e * Applied to our progress. It is tine 0 that everyone of those sections con- ? fains provisions more or leas directly . Affecting our welfare, but there is one . abort sentence pf the covenant that - — . - —

contains more potential evil for America than all the rest of the document -together. That Sentence is contained in the famous Article X, and reads M follows: The members of the league undertake to respect and preserve the territorial integrity' of «ach separate one of that multitude . pi countries, great and small. That Obligation would be distinct from the undertaking entered into: by aayother Aaembn. It would njattez tot to us ' Whether the other' signatories undertook to carry out their contracts or UOt. Whether they or any of them ! took steps to, preserve one of their jmmber from attack,' it would be up ] to the United States to do ao individually. The only alternative would be ' P disgraceful repudiate onby Congress ' and the people of a most sacred coveJMBt "Now, Poland is 'oh* of those 46 member nations. Some of tih others art India, China, Cxeochlosvakia, Greece, Haiti, Hedjaz, Japan, Roumania, Serbia, Siam, Switzerland, and,' Persia. Poland at this moment is attacked along hundreds of milesof her frontier. Were we in the league our Armies even now would be engaged fa bitter warfare on the Pokeh-Rus-aian front, and billions of supplies and • hundreds of thousands of American j acidic rs would be hurrying across the Atlantic- War against many of the j ■other countries is likely to break out At any time, whereupon the U no' ted , Etates would be compelled to dupli- , gate its program in Poland. How - long would it lie before our fair l»«d ] would be reduced to the level of many ] of the nations of Europe — bankrupt to men, money and morale?" j ATLANTIC CITY, August 12.— Re- : ports which have been circulated ' through 'ome my Serious s. -uivc to ' -the 'effect that there is considerable gppositioa in Atlantic County to ' re-nomination of the Horn.

No successful man, whether] he he successful in polities or ia the business world, can escape making some enemies. And Congressman Baeharach has been successful, both in politics and in business, therefore it follows that be has made some enemies. But they are few and far ^ between as compared to the friends be has made in politics and business. "He has accomplished amazing re- " suits during his term as a member of Congress, and this is the result of I his application of business methods ) in politics. He has applied to the . business of the public the same prinz ciples he has applied in making a r success of his own business. That is the reason he ha« succeeded in getting things for the people of his district and who he has been recognized ed and given some of the choice com- S s mittee appointments in the House of ^ Representatives. . ' "Of course, under those rircumstan- ! ces he has made some enemies. But j, 1 he has, also, made a host of friends * who believe in him and in his busi- ° | ness-like method of . handling public * ' affairs, and it will pe these people who will not Only support him for re1 nomination at the primaries, but who g will rally to his standard at the gen1 eral election in November and send m him back to Congress with the larg- L Another member of the committee g said he had visited the principle g municipalities of the four counties in the Second District and found that Q the sentiment for Mr. Baeharach w m overwhelmingly in the majority. g HARDING ON WAGES g "Although Senator Harding has ^ given assurance not only by his speech of acceptance but by bis per- ^ sonal record as an employer that he is the friend of labor, yet he also has made it distinctly clear that he is not one of those unscrupulous politicians e[ who would endeavor to promote his ju personal interest through appeal to class prejudice. In all his many years ^ of employment of labor in his publish- j-y ing establishment. Senator Harding ^ never had a labor difficulty. He jj has no warmer supporters than those bis employ. He has been R'payer , o

' of good wages and a supporter of " good working conditions. But! in his speech of acceptance, when hd spoke' | of the relations of employer uzd em- . ployee, he qualified his staement, | *1 wish the higher wage to abide," j , with this explicit condition, "that the eafner will give full return for I , | the wage- received.' A cheap politi- : \ cian would > have limited his statement to the declaration that he wish- • ed the higher wage to abide. He would thus have made his unquali- ; fied bid for the labor vote. Every : laborer must recognize the justness j and the economic soundness ef Sena- ; tor Harding's qualifying clause and 1 must respact him for his frankness , and courage in defining the obliga- , tion which the laborer assumes in i return for the wage that is paid. , COUNTY NEWS , WILD HOLD JOINT MEETING AT WILDWOOD ' (Special Correspondent) ' The Tall Cedars of Lebanon No. 10 1 Philadelphia, No. 5 Camden and No. ' 15 Wildwood will hold joint meeting ' in the local high school on Saturday ' August 28th.
