"For more than a year, the con test over the president's league of "nations ' has been waged in con gress," Senator Johnson's statement t-aid. -"It has been the all-engrossing ,and paramount issue. Of necessity, this issue camfr to the conventions cf the two great political parties.

' ' The republican party declared thatthe president's covenant 'failed signally to accomplish,' its asserted purpose and contained stpulations not only intolerable-for an inde pendent people, but certain to pro duce the injustice, hostility and con-J troversy ' among nations which it. proposed to prevent and 'repudiated to a degree wholly unnecessary and unjustifiable the time-honored poli cies in, favor of peace declared by Washington, Jefferson and Monroe.' "The republican party stands, therefore, firmly against the presi dent's covenant as presented, de nounces it as breeding war rather than promoting peace, and reaffirms the time-honored, . nation-old poli cies of Washington, Jefferson and Monroe. ": ? V -f ' Demos Are Obdurate. ! "The democratic party, on the - other hand, rejected evesy effort to, modify or qualify the president's proposed ' league of nations, en dorsed the president's attitude and took its position in favor of the league as presented. It is true that the democrats in an effort to 11 placate say something about res ervations might . make clearer or - more specific the-obligations of the United States, but the language is. meaningless and does not at all al ter the essential position of ,the democratic party fwa the league as presented. , j "The two parties acted in similar fashion in one (respect, but from dif- fercnt motives and for different reasons. Both rejected .pleas fpr adoption of the league with reserva tions, the democrats-because they were for thejeague as presented and the republicans because no reserva tions devised by the human mind could .anticipate the contingencies which might arise in the future from an instrument bt such poential pos sibilities, for harm. 1 Will Support Ticket.

Hereafter Wilson wilt continue to be a strong figure in the dictation of party doctrines and policies, but Cox now is the real leader and his word must be listened to in all mat ters affecting party organization and party principles. J hat is what the nomination of Cox means above everything else.

' . . -from voluntary sub' jiis from his personal mends. ox went into the convention with all the forces of the administration against him. It was reported that the president himself did not want him. He had little behind him beyond his record as the thrice elected governor of his state and a successful -career in congress. But he had with his candidacy a deter mined band of followers who came to the convention with - the slogan "we'll nominate Cox or know the reason why."i They did it. They knew Cox and believed In him, and- they told everybody that Cox was the one man who, if nominaed, would have a chance ef election. They de clared he would beat Harding in Ohio, the Ktate in which both live, and wouldsweep the .country on a progressive platform, frank and free from evasion. Boosters Were Tenacious. Throughout t long and weary ing siege of balloting, these Cox boosters hung on with dogged per sistence, refusing to admit at any stage of the battle that they had a chance to lose. It was this per sistence, this absolute spirit of de termination, which won them the battle. It was largely .due to Moore's bulldog courage and per sistence that Cox finally went over as the nominee. Moore is a Youngstown lawyer. He has been in politics all his life. (Continued on Fate.

NO ASSISTANCE OR PROTECTION PROMISED All Individuals or Firms Must Do Business at Own Risk No Mail or Parcel Post Mat ter Accepted by U. S. Chicago Trlhune-Omaha Beo I.eaaed Washington , July 7 Announce ment of the lifting of restrictions in trade with Russia was made today by the State d?partment. ' In taking this action, the United States expressly states that no recog nition of the soviet government ts implied. Individuals and corpora tions trading with Russia must do so at their own risk, and no assist ance or protection from consular authorities may be expected. Mate rials for war purposes continue un der the ban. lust how satisfactory the lifting of restrictions will be' to American ex porters is uncertain. The announce ment states that the Postoffice de-. partment will be unabM to accept mail from or to soviet Rrssia, and thai goods cannot be forwarded by parcel post. . The Stat? department a'so will continue to refuse pass ports from Russia. This means that such persons or corporation, which wish to trade with Russia may d so by dealing with the soviet agents in the United States or other countris. No facili ties are provided by which the American manufacturer mav conduct negotiations directly with persons in Russia. Announcement Unexpected. Announcement of the , lift'ng of restrictions came unexpectedly. Secretary of State Colby, who is in San Francisco, stated just before his departure that there was no pros pect of any action ;jn the near fu ture. . Today's announcement, there fore, is regarded as ha ing iome di rect from the White House , although the announcement actually was made by Under Secretary of State Davis, ' who is in charge in the absence of Secretary tToIby. x " - - ' It was stated that today's action was taken solely, by "the United States without any agreement for similar action by the v vious" allied countries. Notification, however, l as been sent to the alliel govern ments of the step contemplated by the United States. In its announcement, the State department, warns American citi zens against the risks 'incident to the acceptance of commodities or other values which may later be brought into question. The United States, it is explained, does not rec ognize the validity of industrial or commercial concessions, granted by any existing Russian authority. Expect Little Business. State department officials say the indications' are that Russia has but a small quantity of raw materials for export, that the purchasing pow er of Russia is very limited, and that for - these reasons there wijl -. not be .any considerable trade, if . any, with Russia. , V Notwithstanding this-, view ' it is the view of the government that, the v law-abiding people in Russia, should not be deprived of any as sistance which can be derived front such trading as may be possible. The attitude of the1 United States toward the recognition of any action in control of soviet Russia has ncit changed. This government is not willing as expressed by an official "by means of political recognition to lend positive assistance to a fae lion whose disregard of the princi pies of democracytit considers to be . evidence at home by the mainte nance of a minority depotism and abroad by an insidious propaganda to subvert popular governmental in stitutions expressive cf the will of the people.
