BY HARRY L. ROG ERS 'STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! HELENA. MONT., Sept. 9 America is today looked upon as a "nation of eiuitters," prosperous and self-satisfied wb.ile her associates as well as her enemies unmi.g the countries ef Europe arc- starving to death," Gov. James M. Cox. democratic presidential nominee, declared in a speech here today. This feeling of hatred, the govern. -r sad. is a direct result of delay In ratifying the treaty and the "senatorial oligarchy" alone is responsible tT it . One hundred and fifty thousand square miles e.f arid lands in the west, the governor asserted, could be reclaimed with money made available by disarmament, which he sa d would follow entry of the U. I. into the league of nations. SEES MILITAKV KlVAI.ItY "I have just noticed that Japan is building a battleship at a est of $10 -000,000," Gov. Cox said. "Uniess this program be stopped we will soon have reverted to the old game of national military rivalry." "it has recently been figured in terms all men can understand that the tost of one battleship would reclaim 2.000.000 acres of land. Multiply this by forty-eight, the number of states, adopting the plan of one battleship for each state, ar.d you have a staggering total, and if properly applied, the answer to the problem of houstng in our cities, the answer to the question to increased production for sustenance of human l.fe. th- expenditure re-quired in total would reclaim 1 30,000, r.oo square miles of waste. It would build ten permanently paved arteries entirely across the U. S. at the present high cost of construction. Not only this but the armament prof-ram required for our fleet at least : On.e.on nie n. a standing army of 400.Oimj with a reserve fore; of 4'T.OOO. WIlLItll DOES V. S. ST.VMJf "Think of this in terms of reclamation of arid and waste lands, and think what it would mean to have lie million men, exclusive of tho thousands requiicd in 1J1 p yards and ammunition plants, ail turning their activities to the production of neces;iii.s of life, rathrr than toxeniployment in the creation of agencies for the destruction of life." "Reconstruction cannot be undertaken, the governor argued, until v-a kr.ovv where we stand w .th the nations of the world. And America cannot enter into that period of prosperity to which she is entitled "until tho growing hatred created against us by the apostles of hete in the senatorial oligarchy has been removed." This he sain can Only be done by joining with 37 other nations of the world who have already affixed their signatures to the league of nations covenant. European countries will then go to work, he said, and their ten bilion dollars of war debts to us will be pale! . AGAINST SEPARATE PEACE A separate peace, bringing us into association with Turkey, P.ussia, Germany anel Mexico, the only great powers not now in the league of nation. Gov. Cox said, "is inconceivable but w- should join with the 37 nations already in the league so that w-ith ail the nations of the earth we may reestablish social, humanitarian and business relations wi'h the world." More pleased than ever with the re-

' ce ption r.e is receiving ;n Montana. G -v Cox left here this afternoon for the greatest industrial districts of Lutte and Anaeonda convinced that he has practically won the electoral vote or the state. He plans in his speech here , this evening paying particular attcntiem to industrial problems laying emphasis on his lube.r record in Ohio and what he calls his "general progressivism in government." EXPECTS M1XEKS' SUPPORT He believes the miners of Montaat will never support Senator Harding, on account of his "reactionary rccord" ar.d he thinks a review of the Ohio Workmen's compensation law, mothers pension law, and a forceful reiteration of the fact that as governor of Ohio, Cox never used a soldier in any industrial dispute, will do much to strengthen the democratic ticket among them. State democratic leaders have assured the governor that a maojrity of the so-called Labor League as well as the Non-Partisan league, will vcte the Cox-Uoose velt ticket. "I de not know what so-called radical movements there are in Montana. Said Gov. Cox. "but I do know that wherever they spring up abuse by those in power is usually the cause. Some people believe radicalism should be hit on the head w ith a club, martyrized as it were. That isn't my plan. I believe government should be made so fair that radicalism cannot live. As I told a farmer in North Dakota, if the corn is not cultivated, weeds will spring up and they may choke out the corn. The same applies to government and radicalism." $500,000 ALIMONY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE1 INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Sept. 9 Mrs. Hose He.rt filed suit for divorce here te.elay from Willia mil.
