They sat there on a raised platform at the end of a long room with high windows and crimson curtains, be. neath a ceiling painted with floral decorations, in this Palace of Nations, overlooking the blue vale of Geneva. In the body of the hall were journal- ists of all the countries in the world shifting on their chairs. half fainting with heat, trying desperately to hear those polite conversational gentlemen d ing abstract principles and le- gal clauses. It was difficult to believe that the future peace of the world depended upon the decisions of this group of men. Behind them, invisible to all but seeing eves, were their people, with racial ambitions, prides and pas- slons. If any of these black-coated gentlemen had lost their tempers, ut- tered violent words or adopted stub horn decisions contrary to the spi of the league. they would have let loose forces not easy to chain up. 1f even two or three of them had sus- tained the Spanish demand the league would have been rent from top to bot- tom, because China, Poland, Persia and other powers would have claimed a similar breach in the constitution of the league. Eyes On Spanish Envoy. The Spanish representative sat on the right side of the table and all our eves rested on him from time to time during these long discussions. A thoughtful, black-bearded gentleman, with delicate profile and mild eyes that gaze through gold-rimmed spectacles. He is not a typical Spaniard; he is more like a_French professor. He has been one of the ablest and most de- voted servants of the league, but now, by command of his government, he has been forced to fssue this ulti- matum. Many times he upheld his claim to a permanent seat in quiet, melan- choly, but courteous words. Lord Cecil, on his right, sat deep in his chair with his head on his chest, and watchful eyes, like a tired old eagle. Mr. Chu, representing goodness knows how many millions of yvellow people, smiled with his own secret and m) terfous thoughts. Now and again in lobder tones than the others and in good English, with almost boyish au- dacity, he insisted upon China’s right | to sit among the great powers in the | Council of the League, but decided not to press his claim too hard in the present case out of loyalty to the ! league. It was on Thursday afterncon that Spain demanded a definite answer from the nations considering her claim. One by one each delegate ex pressed his country’s views. M, Fromageot of France, with the face of ! a French aristocrat of the old regime, intellectual, finely carved. thin lipped, gave legal reason why permanent seats on the council could not be in- creased. | Regretted Denial of Seat. | He deeply regretted the impossibil- | Ity of satisfvigg the legitimate aspira- tions of Spain. The Swedish delegate ! spoke with stolid resistance to the | Spanish claim because of the princi- | ples upon which his government in- sisted. But surprise and sensation followed when the delegates of Italy, Argentine and Uruguay spoke out theiz minds, They were - | up to, the counc against the Spanish claim than any others, Despite the ties 6f friendship which bound them so close to Spain emo- tionally, they put the interests of the league—so gravely threatened by this new crisis—above allegiance to any fndividual state. The mild-eyed dele- gate of Spain, Senor Palacios. touched his beard with nervous fingers as he heard their decisions go against him. Toward the end he made a little ges- ture with his long white hands as though to say. "I hear my sentence; I have nothing more to say.” The commission had to draw up its report to the council. Lord Cecil and others made various amendments and there was a long argument, lasting two hours, over verbal niceties. It was only on Friday morning that the report was finally adopted and sent . who must now sub mit it to the assembly of the league. Before the completion of the report a significant thing happened which caused a sensation. It was when the full council sat for the first time. They were waiting for this report from their commission. Their own fate and future were bound up with it. There would be no entry of Ger- many. no peaceful future of this ses- sion of the league, if that commission failed to reach an agreement Corridors Were Crowded. corridors were crowded with tes awalting the arrival of the | members. They all made and bowed to Sir Austen Cham- foreign secretary of Great who arrived with his ad- visers.

But behind that mask as I know is mind desperately nervous lest all his hopes for the pact of Lo- carno and peace for Europe should be wrecked by some sudden explosion of national truculence. He will not feel quite safe until Germany has actually taken her seat. Then Briand came and there was another stir among all this crowd of us at the sight of that shabby, shambling figure with tousled hair and tired eyes, who has come from a series of crises in France to put the corner stone to his foreign policy by Germany's ratification of the Locarno pact. The other members of the coun- cil arrived. All of them except one. heard a whispering “‘Where 2" None of us could see Palacios his little beard and mild eyes. We trooped into the council hall. The, deleg: wa berlain, Bi in, | “Where 1s Spain?” came the whispers {again. Members of the council took their seats. There was another chair besides that of Brazil. Spain had not taken her seat. Spain had absented herself from all further in- terest in the League of Nations unless she responds to eloquent appeals from all her friends. Lord Cecil for Great Britain expressed the opinion of all his foreign colleagues when he drew |up a resolution begging the Spanish | government to take account of all the efforts and good will shown by the council to satisfy Spanish wishes within the limits of their duty to the league. Spain May Not Reply. Personally, I doubt whether Spain will respond to this appeal. She has gone too far in arousing the pride anc passion of her own people. Her own loss will be great. She has cut her self off as one of the counsellors and arbitrators of world reconstruction. By accepting a non-permanent seat she would have been sure of re-elec- tion and could have taken her right- ful place among-the.great powers, A D. C, SEPTEMBER 5, 1926—PART T~ PROHIBITION MINOR ISSUE, TILSON VIEW House Leader Says “Plague on Both.Your Houses” to Drys and Wets. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 4.—Con- tinuance of prosperity in this coun- try is more important than the ques—l tion of prohibition in the coming elec- tions, Representative John Q. Tilson of Connecticut, majority leader of the House, said today. He lssued a state- ment giving expression of his views as Eastern campaign director for the Republican senatorial committee. | “Calls Both Sides Fanatics. “Those who are attempting to make prohibition the principal issue in the congressional campaign this Fall,” he said, “are permitting their good sense to be obscured by a form of fanati- clsm which is outstanding char- acteristic of both the radical ‘drys’ and the radical ‘wets. I would say to such, ‘A plague on both your houses.’ “No one can deny that prohibition is an {mportant question in which there is great public interest, but no one can rightfully claim that it is more important than all the other questions that affect directly our na- tional prosperity.” Parties Divided. Representative Tilson asserted that “those who bear allegiance to the Democratic_party nationally are as hopelessly divided on the question of prohibition as those who make up the Republican party.” Until one of the parties adopts prohibition as the prin- cipal issue of a campaign, he said, it will_“only make for confusion to at- tempt to force a relatively minor mat- ter into the foreground as a control- ing issue.” VICTORY OF BLAINE PREDICTED DESPITE FIGHT BY LENROOT (Continued from First speech to be delivered tomorrow and one speech to be delivered Monddy. He seems to have thrived on his exer- tions and looks in good shape. “I am glad 1 made the fight, his comment tonight. Many of his friends believe that he will win vet, and it is within the bounds of possibility. But he has at the start to overcome a 150,000 La Folletfe Progressive plurality in the State. That is a huge task. He has incurred the enmity of some of the stalwarts who followed Roy Wilcox a year ago in his effort to win the senatorfal nomination and election against Bob La Follette, jr. . After Wilcox had been defeated, Senator Lenroot advised that the stal- warts line up behind Dithmar as an independent in the general election against La Follette. Lenroot's Record Good. Lenroot supporters are declaring that Lenroot has never in recent vears been defeated in a campaign in Wisconsin. They bank on the fact that in 1920, when Senator Robert M. La Follette, sr., was allve and ac- tively opposed him, Senator Lenroot was _elected despite this opposition. At that time, however, the war had not long been over and Senator La Follette was not as strong in the State as he had been in earlier vears or was to be two years later. Further- more, there was a wet candidate, McHenry, in the field, who is declared to have drawn enough votes from Thompson, the La Follette candidate for the Senate, to permit Lenroot to win. There is a wet candidate in the field again this year—Kelly-—but Gov. Blaine is so wringing wet that the Kelly candidacy is not expected to cut much figure. It is the irony of fate that Amer- ican _adherence to the World Court, the fight which Senator Lenroot led in the Senate last Winter, should still be hanging fire because the for- eign nation members of the court have not yet accepted the American reservations. Had the matter been finally settled, and had Germany be- come a member of the League of Na- tions last Spring as planned, the ef- fect here in Wisconsin would have been considerable and in favor of Lenroot. Farmers Will Help Blaine. There is a large number of Ger- man-American voters in the State, many of them located in the farming sections as well as in the citles. Blaine is expected to draw much of his strength from them. He has made an anti-World Court cam- paign while Senator Lenroot has supported the court. If the court is- sue had been disposed of one way or another, the issue would not have been so_potent. Gov. Blaine has the advantage in his contest wjth Senator Lenroot of organization. He has, first of all, the La Follette organization back of him, which has been operating successfully for years, the same organization which backed up Bob Is Follette, jr., last year. He has, too, the benefit of the organization which any governor has the opportunity to build up through the appointment of employes and officials of a State government. These run into thousands in Wiscon- sin and are said to number 5,000 at the least. It is true, on the other hand, that Senator Lenroot has for vears been the dispenser of Federal patrénage in the State, including the postmasters in all parts of Wisconsin. This is expected to help him. The senior Senator is playing for a big stake in this campaign outside of the senatorial nomination. Presidency Is Factor. If he can possibly win and be elected in November he wil| loom 'as a pr¢ dential possibility in"1928, particularly if President Coolidge should decline to be a candidate to succeed himself. The East could throw its strength to him, and the fact that he had upset the La_Follette Progressive organization in Wisconsin would make him an out- standing figure in the West. In view of his opposition to the McNary: Haugen farm relief bill, however, the corn belt might not be so willing_to see him nominated for the presidency. 1If .Senator Lenroot is defeated in the primary Tuesday, however, he is —— was But in denying her full claim, which would have created a desperate crisis, members of the league council have shown noble loyalty to league ideals. Meanwhile, in another hall delegates of many nations are still discussing American reservations to thelr accept- ance in the International Court of Ju: tice. I have no space to deal with that question now. 1 will only record the common opinion of Geneva as I have heard it in the lobbies of the league. It is that, by her reservations, the United States wishes full power in the World Court, but no responsibili- ty. Claiming the right to veto any question which may touch her inter- ests, she may override the unanimous CELEBRATED THEIR r. and Mrs. Hyman Oppenheimer, at their their 58th wedding anniversa day.

He will not run as an inde- pendent against Blaine in the general election—that i=, not unless his pres- ent plans should be entirely changed. The anti-La Follette element in the State helieves that a change in senti- ment among the people is under way. They are banking on that change to help Lenroot, and in a measure the candidacy of Zimmerman for the gubernatorial nomination. The pri mary will show whether their belief is well founded or not. They frankly say they wish the trial of strengih had been postponed for another year or two. Most Are “Progr¥ssives. Notwithstanding this hope of a change in sentiment, s pot without, significance that all of the candi i for nominations of the Republi ticket for the major offices of senator and governor, h one (‘xvvplifm, are declaring themselves progressives of one kind or another. The single ex- ception is Perry, the stalwart candi date for the gubernatorial nomlpn— tion. Senator Lenroot declares him- self a progressive. Zimmerman goes So far as to declare himself a I Follette progressive and, of course. Blaine and Ekern are recognized as the progressive candidates with the backing of the La Follette family. Zimmerman's _deflection from the La Follette organization, which he, like Senator Lenroot, now designates as ihe “Madison ring,” began some time ago. He did not actively sup- port Senator La Follette in his paign for the Senate last vear. broke away from Gov. Blaine two or three years ago over a number, of State matters, including what was called the emergency appropriation act which gave the governor the right to designate the expenditure of money which had not been specifically ar propriated by the legislature. —The State supreme court upheld this law, however. Klan Supports Zimmerman. Zimmerman has the Klan support, though this cuts both way: He has the support of the Antisaloon League, it is said, too, and he has a German name, which expected to aid him not a little among the German-Amer can voters. Furthermore it is be. lieved that he will have considerable support of the old stalwart faction in the hope of beating the La Follette organization candidate, Ekern. P the stalwart candidate, has announc he will run as an independent if he is defeated at the primaries. If Zim- merman should win, then the stal warts might rally to Perry, the inde- pendent, in the hope of putting him over with the support of some of the La Follette-Blaine-Ekern group. who hate Zimmerman, considering him a deserter. On the other hand, if Phil La Follette, the late Senator Ya Fol- lette's second son, should enter the gubernatorial race also as an inde- pendent, it woutd still further com- plicate things both for Perry and for Zimmerman in the gene: election, The belief of the La Follette pr gressives is that Kkern will receive the great bulk of the old line progres- sive votes, which always rallied to the late Senator La Follette. 1f Perry holds many of the stalwarts,.-then Ekern should win. Labor Vote Sought. There has been a great struggle during the campaign to win over or to hold the so-called labor vote. Len- root’s record on matters in which labor has been interested has been carefully scanned. Some of the State labor ieaders have indorsed him, among them railroad men. On other hand, hundreds of thousands of copies of a special edition of Labor, the organ of the railroad brotherhoods, denouncing and supporting Blaine, have been distributed in the State, as they were for Col. Brookhart during the Iowa senatorial primary this vear. One arge made by the legislative repre sentative of raflroad labor, to the ef fect that Lenroot had voted for the anti-strike amendment to the Esch- Cummins transportation act, was vig- orously denied by Senator Lenroot, who produced the Congressional Res ord to prove he had voted against this amendment.
