COX AS THE SUPREME EESERVATIONIST
Governor Cox, revealed by his acceptance speeen, is the supreme
rejservationist, though he poses paradoxically as the champion of the
Wilson league. V
The Democratic nominee insists that America's duty to the world
compels her to say: 'l accept the obligations of this covenant of the
League of Nations." But he wants, then, to add these words:
It will, of course, be understood that in carrying out
. i the purpose of the League, the government of the United
States must at all times act in strict harmony with the terms
:. and intent of the United States constitution, which can not
in any way be altered by the treaty-making power.'
IT'. . -' .
This constitutes a blanket reservation more sweeping than any
ever championed by Lodge in the United States senate.
With it, Cox will kill articles 10 and 11 of the league covenant,
. which obligate the nations of the League to protect one another, in
case of war, and empower the League council to. prescribe such ac-
tiqn. The constitution 'of the United States reserves to the Congress
: alone the power to involve the people of the nation in a war.
. "With this reservation, Oox will kill article 13, which gives the
League council certain power to interpret treaties. The constitution
' of the United States reserves to the supreme court the interpretation
. ui our ireaues. .
rWith this reservation, Cox will alter the entire complexion of the
( league. The constitution reserves to the people (or the states) all
powers not given the federal government, among them the sole right
4 to treat with the suggestion of a supergovernment for nations. With
sueh a reservation, ratification of the covenant' by a Senate legally
powerless to bind the Nation would be only a grandstand play.
The Cox reservation is very inclusive. It not only nullifies any
action not in harmony with the terms of the constitution, but also
. any action not in harmony with the constitution's "intent." This
; rehders the whole ratification proposition legally unsound, for the
League, to be effective at all, must have powers, and if it is to have
powers, they must be delegated. to it by its members, or, in the case
- of the United States, by the. President and the Senate. But the Pres
ident and the Senate are agents of the people and the states. This
twas the complete intent of the constitution. An agent cannot re
delegate his agency without express authority from his principal.
A delegate cannot delegate what is delegated. -
1 -c ) No authority has ever been given the Presdient or the Senate to
re-delegate any of their "powers.
i Cox, trying by elegant language and political rebuke, to make it
appear that he champions the League "as isj' clings at the same
time to the theory consistently advanced by the Republicans, that the
nation must enter no league which will impair the constitutional
rights of its people. . .
This new attitude of the Ohio governor may put the Democratic
party in an embarrassing position. Heretofore it has championed
the Versailles covenant with all its teeth and all its authority, and de
clared the United States morally bound to participate in the super
government created. It has alleged that the super-government is de
sirable.. Now it' asks the nation to sign a formal contract knowing
that its constitution relieves it legally of the pact's onerousness. It
is asked to tell a deliberate falsehood to the world.
There is no need to decide wheih position would be more shame
ful to America. To sacrifice part of our independence to a supreme
war power Would be disgracefully un-American. To pretend to make
that sacrifice, with the mental reservation that our promise is not
binding and our signature no pledge at all, would be the blackest
international deceit.

ITEMS FROM CANADA.

circular, issued weekly by H Can

department of colonization and de
velopment. Following are three paragraphs
of the many Interesting ones In the
current issue:

a well known miner and prospector
of northern Ontario, owns an in

there "endeavoring to locate the al
leged hidden, treasures of Captain
Kidd. The owner, of the instrument
declares that it works on the prin
ciple that .affinities attract each
other, and that by the proper use
of a small piece of gold the instru

The flax fibre produced in Mani

produced in. the Salem district, of
