ator Tells of Prejudice
lndlanapollc, April 17. Senator
Pomercne, Democrat, of Ohio, and
George Wharton Pepper, of Philadel
phia, Republican, managing director of
the League of American Independence,
Inst night debated the league of nations
before the Indinnn Manufacturers' As
sociation. Both speakers were cheered
nnd npplauded at frequent intcrvnls by
the largo gathering. If a decision were
to have been awarded on applause
alone, the debate would have been de
clared n drnvv.
Senator Pomcrene nrgued strongly
for the formation of the league and
insisted Hint while much criticism of
the draft vvns made in rood faith that
a great nmount of ft was mndc be
cause of nntngonlsm to President Wil
son' He further said thnt for the most
part those who have criticized have had
nothing to propose in its place.
Mr. Pepper favored the formation of
a league to nromote world peace, but
protested ngainst the oriwnnl draft and
gave his icnsons in n clear concise man
ner. He submitted amendments which,
he said, should be ndopteJ before the
diaft is ratified in this country.
"The blanket guarantee in Article 10
of the constitution writes Uncle Sam's
nnme nt the foot of the pnper and
leaves it to the future to fill in the ob
ligation." said Mr. Pepper. "We should
not stirinK irom our share or the spe
cific guarantees which may be neccs-
sary to effectuate the treaty of peace.
"Even under ordinnry conditions the
lunction of the hennle is important;
today it is vital. The President is a
commissioner who is committed to the
document which comes back from
France. vrhere is nobody in the White
House to review it with judicial calm
unless the Senate reviews nnd revises.
Nobody will nud the nation will he com
mitted to the most daring experiment
in history without having been safe
gunrded by our own constitutional sjs
tem. "T.er lln l.nve n nnnal it, if inn nt n
league of nations if we can hnvc a good
one, but let us nt nnv rnte retain the I
constitution of the United States." I

West Chester Fears Slander Verdict!
Will Enforce Plant Removal '
Judge Landis, of West Chester, has
handed down an opinion in the suit of
slander instituted ngainst P. M. Sharp
pies by Dr. Bajard Kane, in which the
court refused the application of Mr.
Sharpies for n new trial and upheld the
J8000 verdict rendered by the jury. The
opinion of Judge Lnndis1 goes into con
siderable detail and in several instnnccs
criticises tho millionnrie mnnufactuicr
of West Chester. It is generally felt
in West Chester thnt with this added
thrust at Mr. Sharpies the probability
of his manufacturing plnnt remaining in
a community which he already con
siders hostile to his interests nre
slight.
Yesterday morning a committee ap
pointed by the local board of trade
called on Mr. Sharpies and presented
a set of resolutions ndopted at its meet
ing last Monday night. Mr. Sharpies
accepted the resolutions nnd nnnounced
he would make a statement to the com
mittee in n few dajs. It is under
stood in West Chcbter, however, that
Mr. Shnrples has purchased several
acres' of ground lit Clajniout, Del.,
nnd that the new separator plant will
be erected there.

FRENCH GRATEFUL
TO U. S. PRESIDENT
Differences of Opinion, but
Agreement on Principles
Seen by Press j1
Paris, April 17. The L'cho de Paris
says thnt nt no time has the under
standing between France and the"
United States been closer, nnd that the
French Government is completely sat
isfied with the nttitude of President
Wilson.
"The time has come to destroy the
legend tending to represent President
Wilson ns Adopting regretfully such a
solution." snys the Petit Pnrisien, in
commenting upon tho settlement of the
question relative to the left bank of the
Rhine by the council of four. "The
may have been divergencies as to meth
ods, but there w&s nn agreement on
principle, and an agreement on the
realization of that principle is bound to
follow.
"Not the least interesting feature of
the prolonged discussion was to sea
President Wilson apply himself passion
ately to the task of solving the problem
and still not injuring the rights, of
Frnnce. He uttered a phrase one day
which France ought to know. He de
clared with an accent coming from the
heart, 'It would 'ho the sorrow of ray
life if tho great peace wo are making
should be jeopardized by any difficulty
between Frnneb nnd America.' '
"The man who threw his country into
the war for France remains our great
friend."
