Cox (Democrat nominee for the Presidency), willmake the keynote of his campaign ain, appeal to the people for ratification without delay of the league of Nations if two reservations or suggestions will m be permitted. These are: (T) Agree- '; ment by all the signatories J.hat they • enter ipiththe purpose of maintaining , the peace of the world; (2) that while the United States does not intend to •kirk its obligations to the league, mem- • bet? DMitt understand that the power of making wai is vested in Congress. The Dayton correspondent of the New YorlfTimes .interviewed Mr. Cox, who opposition to the League of Nations was partisan bigotry and was a deep laid, carefully planned conspiracy. *4 do not claim the league to tie perfect and I have suggested two reservation* which will not nullify the treaty," he said. "I am thoroughly convinced that the Irish question will be solved tatisfactorily to all peoples concerned. fttiUtiTtidn in the United States is ordered by constitutional provision and Federal statute and the President takes aji'oath to enforce both. It has never been ipy habit to viotate an oath. I believe in tariff for revenue and I favor making the federal banking system flexi iblif,-in order that "branches may be opened in every trade centre m tile world."
