THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAT, JUNE 15, 1920 '( r. V 7S 1 . . ! M BRITISH SPECULATE HARDING CHOCE Possible Effect on U. S. For ' eign Policy Discussed. . DEFEAT HELD POSSIBLE London Globe Ieclarcs McAdoo or Ambassador IavJs aright Win for Democrats. LONDON, June 14. Evening paper editorials on the republican nomina tion were devoted largely to specu lation on Senator Harding's chances of election and what effect that would have on the American foreign policy. Both the Globe and West minster Gazette declared that Sena tor Harding's election is by no means assured if the democrats are able to . find a strong candidate. The Globe declared a republican de feat is not impossible, if such a man as William G. McAdoo or Ambassador John W. Davis Is nominated. The Westminster Gazette declared Great Britain must preserve neutrality in a presidential conflict, but cannot disguise its "interest. It is doubtful, in the opinion of the paper, if the elections can settle the question whether the United States will pur sue a purely American polity or take a hand in international politics. Democratic Side Viewed. "Had. President Wilson been avail able," said the paper, "ho might have boldly carried his banner into the fight and, rallied the majority to him by the lofty appeals he knows so well how to make. But In his- default it is unlikely any democratic nominee will do this, or get the sanction of the democratic party for a pure league of nations doctrine. "On the other hand, the republican party does not entirely close the door on American participation in world politics and even seems to favor some sort of extension of arbitral methods in world affairs. The choice of a safe man saves us from active pursuit of an anti-European policy by that party of its nominee, and to that ex ' tent there is a point gained." Harding Compared to Liberal. The Star says: "Senator Harding will represent in the United States very much what the coalition liberals represent in this country. He is the Instrument, we misrht say the tool, 'of the cleverest rrouo of men in American public life the republican senators. The senate is dominated by the trusts. "Senator Harding is a mtddle-of .' ttfe-road republican and the social re forms, as urgent in the United States V us here.' will receive from him, we fear, neither sympathy nor solution." The Morninar Yorkshire Post as serted: "There is better prospect of helpful European policy than we could have looked for had the choice of the delegates at Chicago fallen on a politician holding the opinions with which Hiram Johnson is credited CANADIANS FAVOR HARDING ' Prct9 in .General - Comment Ap proves of Nominee. MONTREAL June 14. Canadian papers, today devoted considerable nation," declared Pertinax. political editor of the Echo de Paris. Saint Brlce in the Journal thought the nomination was a triumph of. party discipline, remarking: "The organizers had to steer be tween two rocks a battle between person's and a clash of principles and they maneuvered with remarkable skill." "Mr. Harding is a champion of the International political point of view which raised the American ' senate against the . Versailles treaty," said the Journal. "But all Frenchmen are greatly satisfied with the elimination of Hiram Johnson, whose heart and spirit have never been greatly In favor in France. Mr. Harding is of a type made up of uprightness and kindness and work. He deserves our respect and our generous sympathy." The newspaper comments on the fact that Mr. Harding is an intimate friend of Myron T. Herrick. former United States ambassador to France and a real friend of this country. . LABOR IS CALLED ON TO SUPPORT LEAGUE Gompers Asks Demand on Congress for Action. PEOPLE HELD FAVORABLE OHNSON ATTAINS GOAL (Continued From First Page.) Support for Political Pronamme of Federation Also Urged on - - Delegates at .Montreal. space to comment on the nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding for president of the United States and in general this comment favored his candidacy "Mr. Harding nas a good reputa tion, is not an extremist, has shown business enterprise and is thought to have Qualities that will commend him to the voters," said the Montreal Gazette. The Toronto Mail and Empire (Con ervative) said: 'Senator Harding has been chosen for no other reason than that those responsible for his choice believe he will win, because the party will unite behind him. Under Harding, the peo pie of the United States may expec the sort of government they received under McKinley and which they have not received since." The Toronto Globe (Liberal) recog nized Harding as a "second choice," and said: "Public sentiment was echoed In the cheers for Hoover from the gal lery, but the 'old guard' is always proof against popular Impulses. Hoover Is not of the professional type of politician and the 'old guard' prefers a man who Is 'safe' from Its own point of view. Harding has no black marks on his pnblic. record and he illustrates in his own career as a self-made man the qualities which appeal to the bulk of his country men." The Toronto Star' commented on the large sums of money spent on behalf of men defeated and said: "Yet Harding is perhaps as sound a candidate as ' could have been chosen." The Manitoba Free Press said: "Senator Harding's candidature is not likely to make much appeal to the restless and unattached voters In the United States, and the demo crats, who have the tactical advant age of the last word in making plat forms and naming a candidate, may find in McAdoo or another a -candidate that may appeal to these ele ments." The Montreal Star said: "The Harding nomination should put new enthusiasm into the demo cratic ranks. The republican nominee is not a national figure. He stands for the very things which organized democracy has always most strongly opposed. He is a representative of McKinley republicanism, a thing which the democrats have always branded as reaction. No doubt the convention at San Francisco will make the most of the progressive fer ment within the ranks of the party and throughout the country to iden tify Harding with Wall street 'boss- ism and the big interests'." The Vancouver Province said, in part: "Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Harding has been chosen because a majority could not agree on one of their favorites,. he may prove to be as good a candidate as one of the leaders. He is as likely to be a capable and worthy president. Most certainly he will be a safer candidate and a safer president, if he gets that far, than benator Johnson would be." after example of that kind of loyalty which stands to the last ditch: ' Wood was really destined to lose.- He was too big a man to fit. The convention here this, week was more than anything else a loosg fraternity of average men. Wood was too far outside the republican lodge. He was almost as far outside as Hoover- Wood is a little too distant from the verage; too unusual a man to get a party nomination. It was not merely the campaign expenditures that pre vented Wood from winning. These expenditures were lavish, but it was the lavishness of inexperience and hurry. Wood's campaign had to be a big one and an aggressive one. His only chance of getting the nom ination lay in taking it by assault. The . republican party would never give it to htm of his own notion. Wood Considered "Too Big." With the expenditures, or without them, Wood is not the kind of- man republican convention nominates for the presidency. He is too big. too different, too lacking in common ways of thought with the type of man that makes up a convention. To such men, Wood is a little inscrutable. In stinctively they want a man of the sort they have seen and shaken hands with for years on the main street of their small town homes. McKinley is the type. Of course, .Wood Is a hearty and friendly figure, but the politicians while they liked him and admired him. were always troubled with a disquieting wonder whether, in the M hue House, he would not be too far above their smaller ways of looking t things. Wood need have no regrets. His managers need have no regrets. True, Dotn ne ana they made many mis takes. They were- bound to make them because of their remoteness from political experience. There was nothing he did and nothing they did that lost him the nomination. It was r.ot in the cards for the republican party to nominate so unusual a man. a man whose career has been so far outside of politics as Wood's h been. Wood ends the campaign gallant and likeable' figure to mil lions of his fellow citizens; and by any standard you choose, one of the big men of his generation. I.owdrn Has Greatest Cause. Of all the candidates, probably Gov ernor Lowden- most have the most acute sense of defeat. He alone has reason to feel he was betrayed. If Lowden's delegates had stood by hin as Wood s did, the plans of their com won enemy qould not have been car ried out. At a time durinc the Har ding assault Lowden and Wood came together personally for common ac tion. But Lowden had nothing to put in the pool. It wss the defection of ! the Lowden delegates that gave Har ding his momentum, and it was the knowledge on thj part of the old guard leaders that Lowden's delegates were seditious and could) be seduced that made it possible for the old guard to lay its plans. The delegates who were elected through Lowden's efforts and withheld the use of funds provided by Lowden were not Lowden delegates: they were common to Low den and Harding. They were at the call of the old guard whenever the old guard wanted to use them for pur poses unfriendly to the man whom they had promised to support. Ex cept for this sensj of humiliation and indignation over a trust betrayed, Lowden probably feels more relieved than otherwise. He did not really want the presidency. He said again and again, during the campaign, that there were more days when he hoped he would not get it than days when he hoped he would win. He told one candidate after another that he genu inely hoped they would win; and when he said it he meant it. As regards politics and office holding. Lowder. is a man for whom the bubbles are out of the campaign. He had no great ambition driving h!m on, and no par ticular zest for the trappings of office. His stores of nervous energy are not great, and his taste for his coming years looks rather toward the quiet of his Illinois farm. lllllllIIINIIIIIIllllllillllH l SNAP SNAP! SNAP!

Organized labor of the United States was ap pealed to by Samuel Gompers of the American Federation vpf Labor today to support the federation's non-par tisan political programme and to urge on congress adoption of the league of nations. Characterizing the failure of the United States to ratify the covenant as "pitiable," Mr. Gompers declared that "if the Question was submitted to the people without any other en tangling problems, I am positive that the people of our country would say by an overwhelming vote it desires the league of nations. He expressed the fear that in the political campaign the league of na tions question will be "submerged in the number of questions which must attract the attention of the people." Vote on Inane Favored. "It is regrettable." he added, "that the question In itself has not had an opportunity to be presented for the consideration and determination of the people." Mr. Oompers asserted that his non partisan political programme "may be in concrete form before the con vention "within the next few days." Forty years' of experience, of suc cess and ' triumph," he said, "has shown us the way. " Demands which labor makes are for .services which labor performs and gives to society and. without which such progress would be impossible and civilization would come to a standstill. Labor makes demands for a better and high er life." " The "one big union," he said, could not endure because it ran "counter to the laws of human nature." The address, which was greeted with great applause, came at the close of today's session, and was in reply to those given by fraternal delegates, J. W. Ogden of the British Xrade Union congress and J. A. McClelland of the Canadian Trades and Labor con gress. Russia Held T"p wtm Warning. '-International organization of the world's union workers to further their aims and prevent another world war was advocated by Mr. Ogden, who, however, warned the federation that it must -ignore any "international" similar to that formed in Russia or other countries. "The only international we can recognize is the one that Is formed on the right, proper and legal iasis," he added. "The only way we will be able to prevent jseless conflict is by linking the workers of the world into a greater international organ iza tion." . The spirit of organization is spread- ng in England and the "non-unionist Is almost: extinct in that country Mr. - Ogden asserted. He predicted that the British congress would have membership of six million by next August. - - - - J. A. McClelland declared that or ganized labor was slowly "conquering the one big union movement." He pointed out that there are now 2309 local unions in .Canada, with a mem bership of . 260,247. Labor Bodies- Rebuked. Central labor bodies which aided the unauthorized strike of unions during the recent railroad walkout In the United States were condemned in a resolution proposed by R. C. Cashem of Cleveland in behalf of the, International Switchmen s union. Mr. Cashem referred especially to the San Francisco central body, which he understood, had raised a big strike fund for the strikers. The striking railroad men, he point ed out, were members of Yardmen's associations, which are not affiliated with the federation, and were mem bers of a rival organization. They should not have received labor's sup port, the resolution said. As the res olution of the federation does not pro vide for any punishment for such ac tion, Mr. Cashem urged that the la bor bodies in question be condemned and warned not to aid any similar strike in the future.
