J
Party Issue
Ouestion of IJ. S. Parlicipa
lion in Intcrnatioual Body,
Broached hy Harding, Per
plexes Demo Leaders.
Key Held by Congress
I5y M\KK SM.UVAV.
A question brought to the demo
cratic leaders by recent events, and
calling for the best of thought on
ih'ir part is: What position fchnll tin*
party take next year on the perma
nent court of international justice
proposed hy Harding, assuming that
should he still an issue? And what
stand shall tho party take on the
whole field of international relations?
At uno extreme is the possibility
for the democrats to announce their
renewed adherence to the league of
nations as it exists and fight the cam
paign on the same lines as in 1920.
At the less hazardous extreme is the
possibility for the democrats merely
to say that they favor the permanent
court of international justice pro
posed by Harding—assuming that In
stitution is still In debate.
In between these extremes is the
whole area of possible variations of
policy on foreign relations. And just
what place within this field to choose
for their platform is a question that
must give the democratic leaders deep
concern.
Depends on Court Outcome.
Much, of course, depends on wllot
happens to Harding's proposal fur
the permanent court in the next ses
sion of the senate, beginning next
December. (Mucli depends, also, on
other developments in the whole for
i ,gn field between now and June of
next year.)
If the next session of the senate
should adopt the permanent court,
and adopt it fairly soon after the- be
ginning of the session, that of course
would remove this particular Institu
tion an an issue. Hut if there should
develop n fight on this question, ue
. twi i two wings of the republican |
party, led by Harding and Johnson '
respecti vely, that liiighmake an ex-,
ef-licnt and promising opening . *he ;
dmoocrats. In all respects the detn>
i ratio position will be mado' com
fortable it tlio republicans develop n
split on the court.
Hut omitting that possibility, the
democrats faco the necessity of
phrasing n policy on foreign relations
which shall provide a sufficient con
trast with the republicans which shall
he sufficiently close to the out-and
out league of nations position to sat
isfy the strong league democrats an l
at the same time be sufficiently dif
ferent to avoid the odor of disaster
that attetjyled the league issue In
1020.
In facing the problem one of the
• i.ief embarrassments that faces the
(!■ inoriats is Inherent in the question
of what Wilson will do himself and
wirit he will want the partv to do.
Tne common assumption, among the
P rty leaders and .among the public as
well is that Wilson Is for the league
of nations, that he Is for It in the
shape in which he brought it home
from Haris and in that shapo only,
and that he believes the league in Its
unmodified form to bo the only
i rans of bringing Die world out of its
troubles.
That, t say. Is the common assunip
lion, it puts a fear in the hearts and
an Inhibition on the mimis of rsany
of ihe most prominent deirorentic
leaders. Many of them believe that a
declaration for the league In an un
modified form, in the same form in
which it v i an r uie in 1920, would
lst a mistake.
At the same time they believe the
party ought to go on record In favor
«>f the league modified by reserva
tions. One of the a blent and most
loyal deni or ratio leader* in the coun
try—one who is loyal both to his
partv and also to the league as nn
issue -said to the writer: “f should
bke to conn nut in favor of a modi
fied league, but I am afraid Wilson
might ‘'bawl me out "
What Wllsoig^jrould do about that
and the whole question of what Wil
son believes should be the party plat
form on foreign relations, is. obvl
• usly, a tiling wholly within the boun
daries nt Mr. Wilson'* own heart and
miml. Tiie prrsent writer dins been
told that Wilson is not so unreason
able as thlM assumption on the part
of the other lenders would imply—
lha» WII: on recognizes the weight of
events In repent history, and that he
would not object lo a party p bit form
which should- take account of the
water that has gone oyer the dam
since he first brought the league home
from Paris.
Wilson's Viewpoint Needed.
However, this is a field in which no
writer Can pretend to bo exact, and
in which no parly leader can afford
to take a newspaper statement as
usUflcutlon for action on bin part,
.--'inner or later, the party leaders
must get together with Wilson and
barn from his own lips whatever
contribution lie cares to make toward
judgment us to what the next demo
cratic platform on foreign relations
should be.
<*ne thing Is clear: eliminating WII
, son ns being Incapacitated by the
suite yf his health, [he oik: democratic
lender who Is today the most out
•landing spokesman of (he league of
nations Is Cox nf Ohio, It would he
within the truth—lit fact It is rather
called for—tp say that Cox Is the most
courageous democrat!' spokesman ill

President
Will Run for
Re-Election
Attorney (General Daugherty
Announces Harding Will
Make Race for Second
Term in 192 k
Will Stand on Record
Copyright, 1!>23, by International Nf«i.
Miami, F7a., March 1*.—President
Harding will he .a candidate for re
election in 3 974.
This fiat and unqualified statement
was made here tonight by Attorney
General ITarry M. Daugherty, his
campaign manager of 1920, and his
political confidante and associate of
many years.
It Is the fast authoritative public
announcement that has been made
concerning Mr, Harding’s plans for
1924.
This announcement amounts to fair
warning to other republican aspirants
that their activities in grooming
themselves for possible nomination
run counter to Mr, Harding's plans.
"President Harding will be renomi
nated almost without opposition,"
iaid the attorney general. "In my
opinion, he will be re elected. He will
go before the country on the record
of bis administration. It Is a good
platform on which to stand and one
that will tie approved by an over
whelming majority."
Kvpecfs Ijltle Opposition.
The attorney general believes the
' ppouition to Mr. Harding's candidacy
within the republican party will be
negligible.
"The party will demand Hr. Hard
irg's renomination." he mild, "and
the country will demand that he ac
cept. That he will accept. I have
no doubt, and the party which de
mands his renominatton will see to hia
re-ejection.
"I ran foresee hut on contingency
that might arise and present the
president’s being a candidate for re
election,” continued Mr. Daugherty.
That is his health, which at present
is good and bids fair to continue to be
so, after ho has had the benefit <»f
this rest he is getting. Granted good
h •' , •• no'hir- I TV; oi :n
Ion, that can prevent the president's
nomination nnd re-election.”
Few Other Fanditlales.
There will be "a few other repub
lican Candida tea" before the 1924 con
vention, the attorney (general believes,
but be does not take them or their
• havers seriously, The r.-rtainty of
di feat, he believes will act as a deter
rent to many ambitions and the can
didates that bloom in 192.1 will be
withered by 1924.
"7’here will always la* one con
tender, perhaps," said the attorney
general, hut the identity of the opposi
tion he had in mlral went unnamed.
It was left to Imagination whether he
had reference to Senator Hubert M
I ■[ Kolh tto of Wisconsin, or Senator
Hiram Johnson of California.
The attorney gi-neral believes It Is
yet too early to predict precisely what
the Issues of the 1924 campaign
will he
Much can happen." he ssld, "be
tween nnvv and the next campaign.
But one Issue is certain—the Issue of
law enforcement.
Show flown .at llano
“We In this country have reached
the point where h showdown 's at
hand between the for* ♦ * of sane. «* n
servative, American busine-s prog
res*. and the forces of destruction
and obstruction, which have their
origin in other countries.
“Property rights and human rights
both have their pine* i> American
hfe and they both must be preserved
against those who seek to destroy
them. Paw enforcement wilt lx* one
of the principal issues of Pc. l Whnt
the others will b«* in yet too early
to say. Taxation will Ih* one, per
haps."
While Daugherty did not mention
specifically the railroad strike of last
autumn and the now famous “Daugh
erty Injunction." it was evident that
this wax uppermost in his mind when
lie spoke of the issue of law''enforce
merit In the next campaign.
President Harding brought his visit
to Miami to a close late today and
went l»y special train to Palm Hen h.
where he will board the houseboat
Pioneer for a return trip tip the In
dian and Halifax rivers to St. Au
gustine. both the pteaident and Mi
Harding appeared greatly benefited by
their sta here
