fContlnusit from page one) ?
Newton W. Rowcll, of Canada, de
clared that no man should sit in the
council unless he could speak for his i
government, as the council must make ?
decisions of gravo import.
"Unless the council is propared to
back its own decisions by invoking the
powers of the league, it will not hold
the respect of nations," he declared,
"The council is on t?ial b< fore I he a ? ?
i sembly and the nations to-day. What
the world is looking for from this
league is two or three pieces of work

war and i hed their blood in order thai
militarism mighl be overcome, not in one
country alone, but that it might bo de?

summary of the correspondence be?

that Rowell was right in his declara?

had not considered themselves as

i as magistrates enthused and intrusted

of justici and right.
"Wo must all be ii iii with a con

U. S. Master of Own Fate
Says Harding Is Free to
Deal With the Problem.
Unhampered by Promises
BOSTON, Nov. 20.?With President
Wilson's League of Nations eieaei, so
far as the United States is concerned
by the verdict of the great tribunal
of the people, it is for the a ?ministra?
tion of President Harding and his sup
p?.*rters in the House and Senate to
bring about some arrangement with
other nations for the promotion of the
world's peace without incurring dan?
gers to our independence and our cort
stitutional system of government, said
Si nator Lodge in a speech before the
Roosevelt Club here to-night.
I
"The responsibility is very great,"
h* said, "but we do not shrink from
it." He said the American people,
*.\ hile as earnest in advancing the cause
o.' peace as any in the world, liad shown
' by their vote3 that they could best
s^rve the cause by remaining masters
07* their own fate.
Senator Lodge, who is chairman of
? t le Committee on Foreign Relations.
? prefaced his remarks on the league by
? tying th?* he was speaking merely as
! a Republican, basing his opinions en
| t rely on the declarations of the party
and the policies "so well and clearly
; outlined by the party's candidate, Sena
| 17>r Hariiing," in his public speeches
i during the campaign.
Future Wisely Left Open
"The Republican party in their plat?
form left the future ?>pen," he contin?
ued.' "Very wisely, in my opinion, they
declined to bind thems Ives six months
ia advance as to their action upon a
question like that of the League of Na
, tions. which necessarily would, be
: greatly affected by the changing con?
ditions of Europe. Senator Harding
snd tht> Republican party are there
: tore entirely free to di-al with this
great question after March 4, 1921, un?
hampered by any platform promises as
n methods and details, and they pur
? rose to elo so in accordance with Sena?
tor Harding's declarations made dur?
ing the campaign.
"The American people are ns earnest
ii advancing the eau c of peace as any
, in the world, but they have shown by
: their votes their conviction that they
c in best serve this great cause by re?
maining masters of their own fate and
?not submitting their future in any de?
gree to the control of other nations."

MEXICO CITY, Nov. '20.? Persons
close to President-elect Obregon
he will govern the country wi"h the
constitution in one hand and a pistol
in the other and will use men as
needed. They also say there will be
some surprises when his Cabinet is
selected
With the in mguration only ten days
i?fT political interest is centered in the
personnel of the new Cabinet.
Close olservers predict that the
main test will come in the first sixty
days of the administration, when the
labor, political and. possibly the mili?
tary problem.-; will demand action.
Obregon consistently haa refused to
? tte the probable compositi?
Cabinet. It is believed, however,
that several members of the present
. ...? . ?nl be retained temporarily
and that, the now appointments will not
be complete for several months.
Labor Situation Still Delicate
Developments of the last week indi?
cate a groat unrest in the labor i ? Id
caused by tear of Obregon. The Huerta
authorities have been unable to settle
tely the strikes in the coal fields,
although they have authorized the Gqv
, crnor of Coachuila to take over the
mines and operate them under govern?
ment supervision.
?It't'-r his inauguration Obregon
probably will give his first attention
passage of a banking law wh ch
, he is preparing to substitute for the
\ single bank measure.
Congress is still discussing the cre?
dentials of several candidates who
