NALS REPUBLICAN 11 Indianapolis, Ind., Oct.ll—ln a letter to the public given out here today Henry N. Spaan, nalled to the wall Reépublican propaganda to the effect that President Wilson has insited on the ratification of the League of Nations without the dotting of an "1” or the crossing to a “T”. Mr. Spaan, who is a recognized authority on the covenant explained the Hitcheock reservations that were rejected by the Republican senators. : He said: . :

“One of the favorite propaganda of the Republican Leaders is, that President Wilson is for the League of Nations' Covenant just as he brought it home from Paris, and that he will not consent to any change, not even in the dotting of an | or the crossing at. Of course this is as rediculous as it'is untrue. Mr. Wilson has stated over and over again that he is in favor of any reservations that are interpretive in character and do not tend to weaken or destroy the effect of the Great Document. Governor Cox has announced in his letter of acceptance and in bis public addresses the same policy. o L . It is well known 'that Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska was the Democratic Leader in the Senate to whom Mr. Wilson entrusted the direction of the administration fight for the League of Nation’'s Covenant. On November 165, 1919, Senator Hitchcock introduced before the Senate a set of well considered reservations and they appear in the congressional record of that date on page 9035. ’

“These reservations were Dbefore their introduction, submitted to President Wilson for approval and he heartily endorsed them. Governor Cox in his public speeches has referred to them often and declared that he facored them. So it may be assumed that the policy of the Democratic Administration, when. Governor Cox becomes President, will lbe to make these reservations a part of the Great Covenant of Peace.

I desire now to call your attention to these reservations and in what manner they affect the League of Nations. When Mr. Wilson brought back his first copy of the covenant there was in it no provision for withdrawing from the League. An Amendment was suggested providing for this contingency and Mr. Wilson procured the insertion of this Amendment and it appears in Article 1 of the Covenant; it reads as follows: “Any member of the League may, after two years notice of its intentions so to do, withdraw from the League, provided that all its international obligations and all its obligation under that covenant shall have been fulfilled at the time of its withdrawal.

“Immediately the. enemies of the League set up the cry that it would be for the Coucil or the Assembly of the League to say, in case of our withdrawal, whether we had fulfilled our obligations under the Covenant, and dire prophecies were indulgéd in about the compromise of our National Honor, and the vast shock to our Sovereignty that we should suffer if we allowed any other Nation or group of Nations to determine whether we had fulfilled our obligations under the covenant. . : Ml

“To meet this objection the first Hitchcock reservation reads as follows: “That any member Nation proposing to withdraw from the League on two years notice is the sole judge as tu whether its obligations referred to in Article 1 of the League of Nations have been performed as required in said Article.”

“Rest assured that America’s honor will always be safe in the hands of a party that has raised that honor to the highest pitch it has hitherto known and intends to keep it there. . “It is insisted by the opponents of the Covenant that Japan can bring the immigration question before the Assembly or the Council of the League and that these League bodies will have a right to pass upon it. It is also said that our tariff laws can be }lntermred with in the same manner. All of this is not true because Article 16 provides that all mere domestic. question shall be excluded from the consideration of the Council and the Assembly. ]

“To place this mati.r e~ lirely beyond doubt of th» litch ick reservations read as follows: “That no member Nation is required to submit to the League, its Council or its Assembly for decision report or recommendation, any matter which it considers to be a domestic question; such as immigration, labor, tarift or other matter relating to its internal or coastwise affairs.” With this reservation as ap art of the Covenant we need not fear Japan or any _other country on purely domestic question. . “Many fearful souls still honestly ibelieve that our Monroe Doctrine is endangered by this Covenant and many designing politicians still misrepresent the Covenant -on this matter. Article 21 of the Covenant distinctly provides for the reteution of the Monroe Doctrine and one of the Hitchcock reservations clearly makes a declaration to the effect; the reservation reads as follows:—“That the National policy of the United States known as the Monroe Doctrine, as announced and interpreted by the United States, is not in any way impaired or affected by the Covenant of the League of Nations and is not subject to any decision ,report or inquiry by the Council or Assembly.” s

“This sets forever and c;ompletoly‘ at rest all doubts about the stability and continuance of the Monroe Doctrine If We enter the League. - “Another one of the Hitchcock reservations places beyond cavil the

meaning of Arteile 10 of the covenant. It settles the matter beyond dispute that neither the Council nor the General Assembly of the League can declare war, but that oaly advice may be given in the matter by the bodies of the league and that this advice can be acted on only by Congress. The reservation speaks for itself and reads as follows: “That the advice mentioned in Article 10 of the Covenant of the League which the Council may give 10 the Member Nations as to the em‘ployment of their Naval anfl Military forces is merely advice which each member nation is free to accept or re,kcc according to the conscience and ‘judgment of its then existing government .and in the United States this }ndvtcc can only be accepted by action of the Congress at the time in being. ‘Concreu alone under the constitution of the United States having the power to declare war. :

{ “Much misrepresentation has been spread abroad by the enemies of the Covenant about Engiland's power in the Assembly and in the Council. It is claimed that England has six votes to our one in both of these bodies. This i{s not true, execept in the Assembly and in that body we will be able to Influence many more votes than England. = ; “But to put the whole matter at rest the last one of the Hitchcock reservations provides in effect that in a dispute before the Council or the Assembly of the League between England or any one of her colonies on the one side and the United States on the other, that neither theé United States nor England nor any of her colonies shall have the right to vote on the matter -in dispute; in 6thef words; England and her colonies, such as (Canada, South Africa, India, New Zea’land and Australia shall have com‘bined no- more power in the Leagne Council or Assembly than we have. ‘The Reservation reads as follows:—‘That in case of a dispute’ between ‘members of the League, if one of them have self-governing colonies, dominfons or parts which have representation in the Assembly, each and all are to be considered parties to the dispute, and the same shall be the rule i! one of the parties to the dispute is a self governing colony or part, i 1 which case all other self governing Colonies, dominions or parts, as well as the Nation as a whole, shall be considered parties to the dispute and ‘each and all shall be disqualified from having their votes counted in case of any inquiry on said dispute made by. the Assembly. =

Ladig Says He is Entirely Free Of Rheumatism Since Taking Tanlac Gains 26 Pounds | m— X ‘“Before I began taking Tanlac I had to walk with a c¢rutch and cane, but I have now thrown them away, as| I can get around as well as I ever could, said John J. Ladig, 422, Lasalle Street, Fort Wayne, Ind. “lI had suffered a long time with rheumatism in my shoulders and back and one knee and was laid up in bed for five weeks in a stretch. When I did get up I coundn’t walk a step without a crutch and cane, but thanks to Tanlac, I have been entirely relieved of the rheumatism, and 1 have actually gained twenty-six pounds in weight besides. - “For several years before the} rheumatism came on me I had suffered from stomach trouble. Everything I ate hurt me, gas would form on my stomach so bad that I couldn’t lie down for more than a few minutes at a time at night and often just had to walk the floor nearly all night long. I had shooting pains around my heart jjnot about all the time, and it palpitated something awful. e “] saw s 0 many testimonials praising Tanlac I decided to try it, and I never felt better in my life than I do now. My rheumatism is all gone and I never have an ache or pain of any kind. I can eat just anything I want and never have a particle of trouble afterward. To make a long story short, my improvement since taking Tanlac has been simply wonderful, and I never expect to be without it in my house again as long as I live.” Tanlac is sold in Ligonier by 8. J. Williams and by the leading druggist in every town. ' ady
