TR MR WLSON SLENT ,Ex-President ‘Permits Anni- versary of His Idea to Pass L Without Comment. B BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Two years have pagsed 'since the league of nations w4s: born, but only in the self-imposed seclusion of his private citizenship did the man who had most to do with its creation cele- brate the birthday yesterday. Wood- row Wilson, admittedly the parent of the league of nations. which riow qm- braces fifty-one nationg, did not jn-{ terrupt his silence to point out that: the league which had been -declared “dead” so many times was indeed alive and functioning:, Nor did he lift his voice to coftend that while America had not yet jolned the league, there was no associatifit of nations in existence as yet to-i&ke-the place of tll% league. or are there any spokesmen for the Wilson viewpaint.arguing. the case one way or another. The demo- crats who follewed Wilson when he was in office are not the' same. -Most of them have drifted from the Wilson standard and ‘taken It for' granted that the leggue is a dead affair so far as the United States is coneerned. Only a small group cling to the no- tion that the league has nine lives and can’t be killed. and that the major isspe of the 1924 presidential cam- paign Wwill be the leagug of natiops again. In the recent speech of Cordell Hull, newly elected chairman of .the demo- cratic national committee, is seen the germ of the Wilson. doctrine as it may be applied to future compaigns—. an argument that the present business depression :s due directly to the fail- ure of the United States to join with the other powers in the preservation of the peace of the world, particu- larly Europe. Mr. Hull's plea for economic co-operation and his state- ment that a world-wide - economic conference 1is essentidl, is but the correllary to the'democratic argument that the lack of economic co-opera- tiop in the last two years is responsi- ble. for present conditigns. Democrats’ Are “Silent. But Mr. Hull's ideas are hy né means shared by his party in Con- gress. It isn't that he is opposed. It is simply that the democrats have no pronounced policy on foreign affairs. and that when President Harding shrewdly took under his wing for the armament eonference the demo- cratic leader in the Senate—Oscat Underwood—he left his political op- ponents to flounder. Qn the other hand, if the &emo- crats are divided and have ro objec- tive. the republicans have awakened to their new responsibilities in' for- eign affairs. There are republicans here who believe the armament con- ference, the sending of Ambassador Harvey to the supr:me council meet- ings, the dispatch 6f pbservers to the financial conferences on international cxchange, and the probable. pavtic- pation of the Unitea States in the economic conference,. calleg for pext Magch in Genoa, are all straws whic) shaw the wind as blowing in the direction. of a league ‘of nations or association of nations, as the case may ‘be. s singe the league of nations came into existence would.be accurate witheut a sfatement of the gradually changing spiit of the Harding administration toward the league of natlops itself. Hresident Harding and - Secretary Hughes are as determiued as eyer not to commit the United States to membership in the leaghe as at pres- ent constituted, but in more ways than one they haveishown an atti- trda of frj shig - Instead of -hox, tility. The; ve Indignantly “denied that Amcrica would in any way try to undermipe._the, league, of nations. Mri Harding Has®gome ’so faf as to say that the league. is a.good thing— s Teean T apd 'should” abide. ' No longer is the mere mention of the i ... uerca impertinent. Offi- cials recognize the ledgue as a going coricern with a specific 6bjegt, - This do@sn’'t mean, as some-dbservers have hoped that the United States Is ready to “submit_for the appréval of the league catain !;areaties, which are agreed upon at the Washington con- ference, and which must obviously be maga world-wide in- their application 1o be effective. It does mean that the Unjted States will .contihue to deal with the ffty-onet natlpns, .in 'the league of . nations - as individual countries. This wil} not prexeat. Great Britain or France or any of the powers which have attended the Washington. con- ference from using the machinery of the league of nations to hastem the adaption generally of those .treaties which only a small group-of nations sigped at Washington. he prospects are that Arthur James Balfour of Great Britain, who has always been a prominent figure in the meetings of the council of the .\Ea account of what has happened i league of nations, will report to the Jeague of nations at the mext oppor- tunfty, and will endeavor to perpetu ate a_ friendly relationship betwee spacfal conferences of a small num ber of nations such as took plae here and the larger body, which in cludes the whole world, with the ¢x ception of the United States, Germany and Russia. 2 e belief prevails among many of the foreign delegates here for the¢ s conference that within a year ‘both Russia and Germany will be ad- mifted to the leggue. of nations, and that Ireland also. will take her place in ‘the league assembly along with Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and India. _ (Copyright, 1922.) _ p IR. HARDING 1S UNABLE TO ATTEND EXPOSITION ¥orced to Withdraw Promise to ) Open ¢First American Bay¥’ Gatherthg. © v % Secretary of Commerce Hoover or Secretary of Agriculture Wallace will | officiate {n lieu of President Harding at the opening exercises of the First American Boys exposition in Conven- | tion Hall tomorrow. President Har- ding had promised to open the ex-| position, but announced later that he would be obliged to attend an im-| portaht diplomatic gatheriag that night” i The First American Boys, accordling | to a statement issued today, number | 3,000 public school students who have | accompiished some worth-while task outside ol school hours. They are! backed by an organization of- 2,000, duas and 50 “omucial dads.” A meeting of tne dads organization | was held iust night and plans were made tor the ’éslfinluhmenl of a dud‘a' inturmation bureau at the exposition. At this pureau dads whose boys are not ranked among the first Americana will be intorghed as to how the young- sters may bécome achievement boys and be thus :eligible tor memberahip in_the first American. R James Lovejoy, Adward Andrus and Robert Sayles addressed the executive committee of the Thrift week cam- paign at the City Club yesterday aft- grnoon and offered services of the DBoys' speakers bureau and space in the exposition for the distribution of thrift literature. Both offers were accepted. Bewween 800 and 1,000 exhibits will be on display at the exposition. Mo- tion pictures, music and a circus will be among the attractions. PICTURE EXCHANGES ASK DELAY OF NEW RULES Commissioners Requested to With~ hold for Six Months Enforcement of Five Regulations. Manggers of the motion picture film exchanges of the District asked the Commissioners yesterday to postpone for six months enforcement of the new regulations designed to preyent fires in' ‘buildings where filma arel| stcred. . The proposed regulations would re- quire expenditure of a large amount of money in remodeling the Mather buildivig, in which twenty-five of the thirty-six local exchanges are housed. The extension of time was sought o give the exchange men an oppor- cunity to ‘decide whether they will remain in the Mather building or erect a specially designed exchange building. The hearing also was granted to permit the exchange managers to pro- test against the type of can required by the new regulations for the stor- age of films in exchange buildings. They contended that the fiber-lined can called for in the regulations would be much’ more expensive than the container now used, and that the resent type of can affords ample protection. ARSOLUTE DIVORCE ASKED. Absolute divorce is asked in a suit filled in the District Supreme Court by ‘Thomas B. Hayes against Blanche T. Hayes. They were married on August 7, 1917, and separated last August. Misconduct is alleged. At- torney Campbell Howard appears fo: the husband. - } ‘The French army is today the most powerful in Eurepe. p e — S 53 Tae 4 SMALL Loose-Leaf Ledge’r may be just’ the size for YOUR busi- ness.
