By the Associated Pres: LONDON, April 14.—The most strik- ing feature in connection with the newspaper comment on the message of President Harding. s the absence of any expression of opinion by most of the leading journals of Great Britain. Only two of the big London newspapers, namely, the Morning Post| and the Daily Chronicle, have thus far ventured to give the message edi torial consideration, while the Man- chester Guardian, which is regarded as the most influential among the provincial Jjournals, is remaining silent. The reason for this, it is pointed out, may be traced back to the edi- torials written at the time of the American election. Many of the most prominent newspapers in this country expressed st that time keen disap- ointment over what they character- sed as President Harding's policy of seclusion. Now they are pursuing the course of saying nothing which might cause offense to the United States. The note of caution against the writ- ing or speaking of provocative language is constantly being sounded throughout the country. League Is Attacked. The Morning Post _editorial on President Harding’s message con- fesses that it never thought of the league of nations as an “enforcing agency of ‘the victors,” and proceeds to declare that the only question on which the league has been really aetive has been the protection of Jews from ‘“problematical pogroms.” The Post says that its ‘“superpow- ers” have been of no service whatever to the, allies, and “if the league is cause of offense to the United States it is certainly of no use to us.” “The main argument used for its adoption by England,” continues the peper. “was that it would coax or inveigle the United States into some sort of an alllance for the enforce- ment of peace. Now that its fallacy has béen demonstrated nothing what- soever remains to justify its expens to this country. ® * ¢ For our part, we always regarded the league as one of several traps set to catch this country, not, perhaps, by President Wilson,” but by some of the party managers who dictated his policy. It came from the same nest as ‘freedom | of the seas, self-determination’ and various other coekatrices' eggs. Congratulates United States ‘““We must congmatulate the United States on its wisdom in keeping out. side of an organization which threat- ens the very foundations of national independence.- ‘But the fact that the United States is determined not to enter the lexgue makes it more dan- ’erou! for &ngland to remain inside, 'or we may be called upon to support deeinions of the league which the United States refuses to recognize. “Thug a quarrel between the league and the United States may become our guarre]. As things are develop- ing fthe league is not unlikely to be the/cause, rather than the prevention, nternational strife.’ Births Reported.
