HARDING FINDS
PLAN FOR WORLD
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TELLS,
OF ORIGINAL INTERNATIONAL
PEACE STRUCTURE.
Turning away from the Versailles j
league of nations as a failure and a J
wreck "beyond the possibility of re-.
construction." Senator Harding brokeground
last Saturday at his Ohio
home for a new international peace
structure he hopes to erect about the'
principle of a world court of justice.
As foundation timbers he proposed
to use the better features of the pros
i-nt Hague tribunal and of the covenant
of the "failed league" and he
promised that from the day of his
election he would give to the task his
best effort in counsel with the ables:
statesmen of the world. Detailed
specifications he said he could no*
yet supply in the changing atmosphere
of the world conditions and
opinions.
The Republicar nominee's deliverance
was made in a iront porch speech.

His greatest ambition and, the cornerstone
of his program, he said, was to
regain for America the moral leadership
it had "lost when 'ambition'
sought to superimpose a reactionary
theory of discredited autocracy upon
the progressive principle of living,
glowing democracy."
To 'Mexico and the other western
republics he declared himself ready
to extend a helping hand, but he pronounced
a solemn admonition to the
world that all the lesources -f the i
I'nited States would guarantee protection

desire to aid the stfl'cken peoples of
the old world, the candidate recounted
how this sentiment had led him to
vote "with grave misgivings" for rat
'fication of the league covenant with
reservations. He affirmed that he
would do so now unuer similar circumstances
but added that conditions
had changed and that the Polish crisis
had shown the league so important
that its agencies were not even called ;
into use.
Had the United States assumed the j
obligations of Article Ten. lie asserted

upon to stem the tide of Russian in- j

vasion and could not have refused
without " appearing as a welcher before
the world." '
He quoted a declaration of Premier <
Lloyd George that " it was impossible
to send an international army to Po- :
land because the European nations
could not furnish the troops and the .
United States had withdrawn from
copc-ration." <
That meant, in plain words, said i
the nominee, that the United States
had not completed the obligation "to
| furnish troops."
To support his assertion that this |
country could not have resisted a call I
for help in Poland under Article 10. j
Senator Harding quoted the statement
of Presfdf r iat the moral ,
obligation of the article was stronger
than any legal obligation. The nominee
added that if the president really
wanted to help protect Poland he
easily might ca'l on Congress to declare
war.
"It is reasonably safe to assume,
however." Senator Harding continued
! "that the president will not pursue
that course. Fortunately, he is under
no 'compelling moral obligation' under
the league to do so. His recent
unhappy experience, moreover, in asking
congress to send American boys
to police Armenia would hardly en-.
courage repetition.'
Turning to his discussion of reconstruction
measures the nominee said
he had no expectation whatever that
nothing but a separate treaty would
be required to put the nation on a
peace basis. Passage of a resolution
declaring peace, he asserted, was all
<hat was necessary to end the present
' preposterous condition."
A CARD
Mr. Editor: Through the columns
of your valuable paper I desire to
thank the voters of Williamsburg

accorded me on last Tuesday, August
31st. To those that voted
against me I have no ill-feeling
whatever?the majority of them have
been and are still my friends.
The selection of our sheriff is merely
a difference of opinion as. to whom
they think would be the most suitable
one for the position. We are a free
people?free to act. free to do.
Though defeated. I am satisfied.
At the expiration' of my comnns
sion a* probate judge, I will give up
political life. But never will I forget
my friends, or neglect ^iy duty as a
citizen of this deai^ old county.
Your humble servant,
P. M. BROCKINTOX.

Undiguised alarm is felt by tobacco
warehousemen in Danville. Va..
over the damage done to the tobacco
crop in that section by the rain of
last week. Up until last Thursday
no considerable anxiety was felt for
it was thought that such weather as
has been experiences there during the
past several days, would undoubted!}
end soon. Instead, however, an overdose
of Jupiter Pluvius was administered
and great damage will be the
inevitable result.
