America Through Repub

Its Independent Rights
WILSON'S LEAGUE IS A
PLEDGE TO MORE WARS
Any Covenant or European
Alliance is Opposed by
Idahoan
DANBURY. Conn . Oct. 4
Senator William E. Borah of Ida
ho told a large audience here to
night that the Republican party
"as a party and regardless or the
views or particular Individuals,
can be depended upon to maintain
the untrammeled and nnpawned
independence of the American re
public. He promised that there
would lie "no compromise on the
principle of American sovereign
ty." '
Aimtica Is Hafe With Party.
He said that America, through
the Republican party, favors do
ing its part in the family of na
tions, but "the public conscience
and not a signed, contract must
always determine our course In
international affairs."
In a statement Senator Borah
commented on the reported as
sertion of Senator Harding that
his views and those of Senators
Borah and Johnson were In sa
tire accord.
"From: his service In the sen
ate. Senator Harding knows my
views." Senator Borah said. "If
he accepts them, then we are in
perfect accord."
Declaring himself unequivo
cally opposed to an association
with the nations of Europe, he
said he had nothing to say in fa
vor of proposed substitutes for
tLe league of nations.
" Opposed to Any Contract.
"A league, concert, alliance,
combination, co-partnership or as
sociation, it is all the same to
me." he declared. "I always hae
opposed and always will opjose
such an alliance. There can be
no question of who I am sup
porting for president. Cox favors
going Into the league, while Har
ding has declared in favor or
staying out."
Senator Borah began his talk
by declaring he did not propose
to attack "the league of nations
which President Wilson went to
Europe to get. but to fight to the
bitter end the one that the pres
ident brought home with him."
"That league is not an Ameri
can league." he continued. "It is
a European league. Its purpose
is not for peace but for war. In
the entire covenant not one word
is said of democracy. It Is the
instrument . of a military auto
cracy.' i
Preseat! League Attacked. -Senator
Borah attacked the
present league on four counts.
each of which, he said, unfitted
It for American participation. He
declared that President Wilson's
principle of the freedom of the
seas has been summarily with
held . from peace conference con-
rfderation because Enghtnd de
manded preservation of her naval
supremacy."
Another of the president's 14
points; without which he quoted
the president as saying America
could not participate." was that
of peace-time conscription. This.
he said, likewise received no con
sideration. The third count of
the senator's indictment was
based on the secrecy which " at
tended the framing of the cove
nant, despite the principle of
open covenants, openly arrived
at." The !astcount reterred to
the president's declaration against
Imperialism.
"Since President Wflson an
nounced there should be no more
land grabbing." declared the.. sen
ator. "England has had l.CuT.-
63 square mil-s of territory
added to hr possessions, includ
ing 4 0.000.000 people. The
leaeue would now ask us to guar
antee England's retention of ev-ry
pait of that territory."
America Is Peace Giver.
"There is today in the world."
said Senator Borah, "no influence
for peace and civilization equal
to the free and untrammeied Am
erica, and the best citizenship of
the country, regardless, of party,
will preserve that influence, un
co ni promised and untarnished.
-Our right as a people, unem

associations to determine for our
selves in every crlsi and in the
face of every confronting situa
tion what it is our duty to do and
what it is In the interest of hu
