v Cool idge Choice Needed to Avert Chaos in Europe — Former Cabinet Officer De clares La Follette Election Would Undermine Pres ent Government. (Continued From Fbkc One.) 1,1 La Follette. between whom the ■ attest seems to lie. 1 deprecate all personal attacks upon La Follette, but I simply cannot ■ ’oept his fundamental policies and principles. He demands that the Ver sailles treaty be revised, and to Judge hint by his following, he repudiates the Dawes report. I regard the Ver sailles treaty as an Iniquity—"a treaty of revenge,’ the temporary chairman of the republican conven tion called it. But we ktinw that It cannot be revised. At beet it may be reinterpreted, and then only by degrees. This Is the way pointed by the Dawes report. It, too, may in the end prove impossible. But if so, time enough will have elapsed to take counsel with past experience and with future prospects. For the pres ent no other basis for a general con ference could be found. As a result the conference has been had, and much has been achieved. Provides Way Out of Chaos. _ All the nations, including France r and Germany, look to the IJawes plan for a way out of chaos. Coder these circumstances, the defeat of C'oolidge would be disastrous. For eign governments would despair of our ability to sustain any continuity of purpose. The plan would be embarrassed or I( ven abandoned, and protestors against past injustice to Germany, however sincere, would lay them selves open to the. charge of having encouraged the junker faction at the expense of the liberal German gov ernment, and the overwhelming ma ijorltv of the German people. Itftmsay MacDonald has wisely said that it | must be our purpose not to rewrite, but to write history. Even more grave to my mind are ; ttie constitutional amendments pro posed by Hi Follette. The argu | incuts are familiar, and space does not allow their detailed discussion, i 1 would even admit that any changes. however radical, may be in a measure ! restrained by conservative interpre tation. But this seems clear to me. If tlic ultimate decision upon the constitutionality of a measure is once left to congress, then our dual system of government is doomed, file Integrity of the states is de stroyed, and every constitutional guaranty of personal liberty which l,a Follette has so patriotically championed, is at the mercy of the first hysterical spasm that may seize a majority in congress. Courts Must Me Maintained. For Illustration, free speech and free press embrace the right to speak and to print in foreign languages. It means the right to teach such lan miaitoa in parochial schools. It means, generally, those personal rights that were not. ns we must regretfully admit, adequately guard I ed bv the bar and the courts. True, I injustice suffered can never bo cor | reded; but there is a vast difference between the temporary abatement of I sacred principles and their perma nent forfeiture. Our experience must I have taught us what legalized arrest and search without warrant might and would mean. If compelled to choose, 1 am therefore much more in terested in the constitutional pres ervation of these rights for the fu ! tore than I am in an indignant dis AUVFKTISKM ENT.

If I agreed with La Follette upon every other point, which I do not, J should have to oppose Idm upon this ground alone. We are told that if elected he would present no danger, because he could not secure the adop tion of these amendments. True; but that explanation overreaches itself. , His following is made up of a collec tion of discordant protestors. He has not done what Ramsay MacDonald did in hammering his following into shape upon the anvil of conviction. But be that ns It may, I would not If I felt ever so secure, stultify my self by giving support to constitu tional amendments that in my judg ment strike at the foundation of our institutions. War Passions Are Past. Again, La Follette is applauded as the champion of personal liberty; and rightly so. No true American can for get his record in the days of blind intolerance, Cowardly oppression anil vindictive persecution by public and by private agencies; when it could he truly said that "War hath no fury like the noncombatant.” I can not he unmindful of the injustice suffered by men and women during that dis tressing period. Rut that is past. It has ceased to be the Issue. Much has been done by the present administra tion to remove that complaint; and today the question is, not who was right, hut what is wise. Those who upon mature reflection conclude that our institutions would be improved or safeguarded by the adoption of the proposed constitu tional amendments, should of course support La Follette. But to vote now la memory of war experiences, un mindful of the tremendous issues im mediately at stake is to indulge re sentment, than which no more dan gerous motive for public or private conduct can he accepted. To act upon resentment is. in some measure, to justify the treatment complained of. When whole sections of our people threaten to adopt this as their guide, they Inevitably make for the political segregation of race groups that must prove so disturbing to our community life. I do not assume to criticise old associates who differ; but the move ment for concerted race action la so significant and is, in my judgment, fraught with consequences so grave, that I venture to appeal to the in dividualistic spirit that prompts men and women to regard the exercise of independent judgment as the best proof of American freedom. Coolidge or Chaos. To repeat, I assume that Coolidge is the only candidate who can he elected by popular vote. Indeed, in many quarters it is the accepted : purpose to defeat him, only to throw the election into the house. That would mean resort to the worst political bargain-counter in our history. It is utterly at vari ance with Igi toilette's champion ship of the direct vote of the peo ple. We are told that the constitution provides for vsuch an emergency. It undertakes to do so. How far It succeeds rests with the future. We speak of it glibly, as though such an emergency might afford popular entertainment, little dreaming of the tremendous setback every onward plan — domestic and foreign — would necessarily suffer. Emergencies are guarded against in the hope that they may be avoided or overcome. This is the first time in our history that a great people appear to be in vited to deliberately create an emer gency, and to welcome it as a triumph of popular sagacity. We are asked to invoke the gambler's luck, leaving all* to the chance of a con gress which was not even elected with a view to such a decision. The one practical certainty is that the candidate who gets the larger popu lar vote would be definitely elimin ated from consideration by (lie peo ple's representatives in a congress elected several years ago Many issues of great importance are presented. Large bodies of vot ers will of course follow the accepted party dictate. But no one can doubt that widespread independent, action threatens liotK old organizations. Few voters of independence will be able to reconcile the several planks they would prefer to support. They must therefore decide what they regard to be the paramount issues. This I have endeavored to do in making my de cision.
