FOURTEEN REPUBLICAN
OBJECTIONS.
1. The Shantung provision is in
ternational piracy, bringing dishonor
to any nation party to it.
2. Great Britain is given six votes
to America’s one. without justifica
tion :n reason.
3. By entering the League of Na
tions. America would abandon her
traditional policy of non-interfer
ence in European affairs.
-k. The Monroe Doctrine would be
subject to interpretation oy the
league council, as asserted by Brit
ish officials without contradiction.
5. The United States would be
bound to maintain armies in Eu
rope to regulate purely European
affairs.
6. Our constitutional provision
that Congress shall have power to
raise armies would be violated.
7. Domestic questions, such as
immigration, tariff, and coastwise
trade, will come within the jurisdic
tion of the leagues i^ the foreign
council so decides.
8. Insignificant nations, like Li
beria. Hedjaz. etc., would have vot
ing power in the assembly equal
with the U'rrted States.
9. The United States would be
bound to preserve the territorial in
tegrity and political independence
of every member of the league,
many of them monarchies.
10. By bringing the charge that
it involves a threat of war. any na
tion could require the United States
to submit any question to the
leagui for ecision.
11. Article 27, requiring free
tran~.: and equitable treatment of
commerce, could be construed to
forbid protective tariffs.
1-. America, industrially and fin
ancially strong, would become the
burcien-bearer of the world.
13. The league covenant obligates
the United States to give full and
frank information concerning indus
tries a iptable to war-like purposes,
thus utting American industries a:
a disadvantage, since most import
ant industries are of such character.
14. America has nothing to gain
and much to lose by entering the
league.
YANKS SETTING PACE.
Sir Herbert Rowell, formerly
president of the Briti'h Shipbuild
ing Employers’ Federation, who re
cently returned to I.ondon from a
four months’ tour of the United
States, Japan, and China, to investi
gate shipbuilding in those countries,
says he is convinced that Great
Britain can hold its own place in
the struggle for maritime suprema
cy only by exerting every ounce of
its energy and brains.
“While in America," he says, “I
felt myself in the midst of circum
stances which conveyed conclusively
to my mind a real potentiality both
in shipbuilding and shipowr.ing. , 1
cannot dispel from my mind the
possibility of serious rivalry in the
future when I picture the trans
formation which has taken place in
America.
“I was surprised to find that ship
building in China and Japan was
so far advanced. When China
awakens we shall have another seri
ous r’val to face.
“Japan.” he says, “has not <ie- !
veloped her shipbuilding industry in
the same degree as the United
States. Raw material is her great
est need and difficulty in shipbuild
ing and, in addition, the Japanese
have not got commercial enterprise
in the same degree as the Ameri-'
cans. Generally speaking, the Jap
anese will not risk their money as
the Americans do.”
FRENCH ELECTIONS.
The election of a successor to
President Poincare is now only three
months distant, yet parliamentary I
elections to choose members of the .
French senate and chamber of depu
ties must first be held, as these, in '
joint session at Versailles in Janu
ary. must elect the tenth president
of the republic.
Results of the coming election,
says an Associated Press correspond
ent, writing from Paris, are re
garded as more obscure than any
since the fall of the empire. This
is ail the more true because of the
death of one-half million voters in
the war, the coming of age of an
equal number of new voters, and
the anticipated modifications of par
ty lines by new issues resulting
from the war and reconstruction.
Six hundred deputies and three
hundred senators are to be chosen.
No aspirant for any of these seat;
has yet officially declared his can
didacy. There will be no primaries
or local conventions as in America,
but the candidates will be selected
by party committees with various
combinations of different parties
whose principles are no: too widely
separated. -
y ■
The Socialists are resolved not ‘
to combine with any other party.:
but the Radicals have decided to
form union tickets in some dis
trict? with other purely Republican ’
organizations. j
The wide difference between
presidential elections in France and
the United States is illustrated in
the fact that in France the presi
dent is chosen by parliament, while
in America the chief executive is
elected by the vote of the people
for electors. Contrary to what
opinions abroad might expect from
the French, elections in France are
peaceful when compared to those
of America.
Entirely new legislative and ex
ecutive machinery is to be selected.
The order of this election will be:
election of municipal and general
councils combined, of deputies and ,
senators; organization of the con
gress at Versailles to choose a presi
dent; reappointment of the old cab
inet by the new president, and
formation of a new cabinet by the
premier, unless he chooses to re
tain the old cabinet in power.
Under the new electoral law, the
legislative districts have been re
duced from 600 to 87 and, instead
of voting for a single deputy as
formerly, the electors will vote for
as many deputies as are allotted to j
any one department. The number]
of these ranges from one to forty-j
four. The government will print!
and circulate the tickets and cam
