Mr. Denby recommended there be
no reduction in the existing - strength

(Copyright 1922 by The Daily

Washington, Feb. 11. The first
impulse of the Democrats in the Uni
ted States Senate is to ratify the
group of treaties submitted by Pres
ident Harding though in so doing
they have in their hearts an unmis
takable feeling that they ought to
make an exception, of the four-power
Pacific treaty,
This treaty which puts an end to
the Anglo-Japanese, Alliance will be
considered last and will be debated
more than the others.
President Harding's address to the
Senate is today the subject of much
discussion in congressional circles,
Its general effect was beneficial. But
several Senators are suggesting that
Mr. Harding who from the start has
shown little desire to use his ad
dresses to the Senate for partisan
rebukes permitted himself to be
drawn: into unnecessary expression of
disdain for the league of nations.
One Senator suggested- that Henry
Cabot Lodge contributed liberally to
the President's manuscript and that
these portions are the authorship of
Mr. Lodge who has not forgotten the
league of nations fight. i
Except for the reference to the
league which stirred up the applause
of the anti-leagues and provoked
resentful silence on the part of the
Democrats, the speech was regarded
by Senators generally as a splendid
argument for ratification.
It was pointed out that President
Harding -uses language almost iden

Washington, Feb. 13. 'Uncle
Joe" Cannon, the oldest member of
the House announced today that he
would not be a candidate for re-elec

18th Illinois district.
The former speaker announced his
intention to retire from politics in

The Illinois Congressman was one
of the most picturesque and widely

While Mr. Cannon in his statement

Boston, Feb. 13. Half of the"

New England were on reduced wage
scales today and nearly one quarter
of them or between 40,000 and 50,

result many plants were forced to
shut down.
In New Hampshire where a wage
cut and increase in hours was state
wide the strikes were almost equally
general. The big plant of the Amos

est cotton mill in the world and the
Nashu and Jackson mills at Nashu
were among the several that had to
shut down. There as at other plants
the strike orders were carried out
by all but a few workers. Several

Harding declares there is no com'
mittment to armed force, no alliance,
no written or moral obligation to
join in defence, no expressed or 1m
plied committment to arrive at any
agreement" and he adds "except in
accordance with ousf constitutional
methods."
Mr. Wilson pointed out that the
Council of the League "advises"
what should be done to enforce re
spect for the covenant and said "if
in the judgment of the people of the
United States, the council adjudged
wrong and this was not a case for
the use of force, there would be no
necessity on the part of the Congress
of the United States to vote the use
of force. But there could be no ad
vice of the council on any subject
without a unanimous vote and the
unanimous vote includes our own,
and if we accepted the advice we
would be, accepting our own advice."
Mr. Harding further supports a
Wilson viewpoint on the, idea of re
ciprocal engagements to respect ter
ritorial Integrity. The President asks
'Why should we not make reciprocal
engagements to respect the territory
of others and contract their respect
of ours?" Another - passage which
was marked as inviting comparison
with the Wilson utterances in favor
of the league Is jfihis paragraph in Mr.
Harding's .address: "If nations may
not safely agree to respect each oth
ers rights and may not agree to con
fer if one to the compact threatens
trespass, or may not agree to advise
if one party to the pact is threatened
by ; an outside power, then all con
certed efforts to tranquilize the
world and stabilize peace must be
flung to the winds."
