Senator Cummins Aserts U. S.
Did Not Have Single Friend
in Europe. '
WASHINGTON. Sept. !. When
President Wilson ended his work at the
Paris conference "the United States had
not a friend In Europe, Asia or Africa
ana our brilliant service In the was waa
a Iiikw t forgotten in the storm of pro-
iei wnion lonowea mm as ne sauea for
home," Senator Cummins. Republican.
of Iowa, declared today in an address
In the senate, attacking- the league of
nations covenant.
"The only thing the president brought
witn him which was Joyfully received In
America ty multitude of good people,
Senator Cummin said, "was a covenant
for a league of nations, and this only
because these people believed, many of
them without inquiry, that the league
of nations would bring peace to a war
weary world and .would maintain It in
all the years to come. Gradually they
are beginning to see the tremendous
burdens we are asked to aasume and
gradually they are understanding that
there are some provisions In the cove
nant which Inevitably must provoke
war."
Nrnator Cummins deplored the at
tempt of some senators to charge other
senators with opposing the treaty sim
ply to discredit the president and to ac
complish their political designs, as well
as efforts of the latter group to make
it appear tnat those suDDortlni the
president were indifferent, if not hoa-
lie, toward the vital concerns of their
own country.
The casual observer In the senate.'
he added, ''would be inclined to reach
the conclusion that the most Influential
senators upon this side of the cham
ber are altogether insensible to the
awful horrors of war and are deter
mined to keep the world In conflict sim
ply to antagonise the president or to
work out some petty ambition for party
supremacy while at the same time he
could not well resist the inference that
the most persuasive senators upon the
other side of the chamber are bent on
wrecking their own country simply to
vindicate the Infallibility of the chief
executive In his work at Paris."
Stick to Allies.
Henator Cummins contended that
when the war ended "our exit should
have been as speedy and as complete
as possible." This did not mean, how
ever, he added, that the United Htates
should have abandoned its allies or have
made a separate peace with Germany,
'but it does mean that It was our duty
to associate ourselves with foreign
powers In reforming the map of the
world aid In agreeing to maintain It aa
the victors had made it.
Condemning disposition of Rhantung.
Senator Cummins said he wanted to re
lieve the American republic "from the
eternal odium of the Shantung crime,"
and "from the dlxgrnce of passing over
Thrace to Hulgana. There would be
many Shantungs, ha said, and if the
irincipar associated powers worsea in
harmony It would mean nothing less
than complete ami arbitrary power of
the world. As much as he deplored the
w rongs done China, be would adhere, he
said, to the principles he had previously
announced and vote aralnat the com
mittee amendment awarding the prov-
Itice to China.
The man who attempts to preach the
doctrine that peace with Germany, with
or without the league of nations, means
peace for the world in tne relatione of
men with men, or producing, selling and
buying according to ancient customs.
Indicia incalculable Injury on the nubile.
If America, he said, "is snacklea to
the proposed league of hatlnns lust as
it Is written, she will go blindly and
blundolngly into the future. Incapable

Note the crowded conditions of the grounds and -,
buildings and the imperative need of more room and
a better arrangement of the buildings. ;
For lack of room and proper arrangement the Fair -is
forced to clutter the front and sides of the buildings
with unsightly stands and concessions.
The roadways are so narrow that.it is Impossible
to get from one building to another in comfort. . ,
; - As now arranged ; there is no room to beautify
the grounds and -buildings with flowers and shrubs.
There are no Shady, restful spots where one can sit
: and rest. ' ' ' " :, .;
, J The buildings originally. erected iri 1908 were ex
pected to answer their purpose for five years. They
are now in bad repair and inadequate to care for the
growth of exhibits. f - - : 1 :
, : The Fair was this year compelled to turn; away
' exhibits. To care for those in the Poultry Building
it was necessary to double-deck the coops, thus de
stroying much1 of the beauty of the show. The cat
tie swine and sheep buildings were entirely, inade
quate to house the stock that came to the Fair, and we
will have more another year.1 V.;-V'-
: The machinery exhibits are badly located. There
is not the right kind of. Toom for, parking cars. New
buildings are needed Tor new exhibits. ; '
" The exhibits as a whole this year surpass those"
of most of thejarge state fairs. At the same time we
are spending less for improvements than any other '
Fair of importance in the United States. The water,'
sewerage and other comfort facilities are also entirely
..: inadequate. ' : -: -'': :-rfy .
If the Tri-State Fair is to hold its own ' and not
. . go backward, better facilities must , be provided at
"OnCe.'. ' . i"'-'. .(.-"
Three hundred thousand dollars should; be spent
for improvements during the next two" years. These
improvements should be started immediately after the
close of the Fair. To do this it is going to be necessary,
to provide for same out of funds other than those re
ceived front Fair operation. 1 1 ' ' -
A special fund must be raised for this purpose.
The business interests of Memphis, the city .and the '
county should provide this fund, r' .
The City of Memphis has been liberal in provid-
ing funds for civic improvements
, questionably one of thecity's best assets and will fur
nish bountiful returns for all assistance given. '
r Let's all pull together, properly-equip -the Fair,
thereby enabling it to fulfill its mission to .the fullest
extent. ' . '
