CO-OPERATION Stm Newspaper Comment, f r-Howevor, Shbyvs Rogrot for 1 Harvey's Leaguo Rejection HATIONS TO ACT TOGETHER Ttf the Associated Vrtsi Jjmion, May 20. alio London Sewspapers commented todsyi nt Rome talgth on Ambassador Harvey's speech last night In which he declared tho United States would have nothing whatever to do with the League of Nations. Three Journals cdrdlally welcomed the 'Ambassador's expressions of friendship nd his frankness, and commended his address In general. The Dally News, however, declared Itself perplexed by America's repudia tion of the League of Nations, that newspaper having been n whole 'hearted champion of the League. It inferred from Mr. Honey's address that the Unltod States actually agrees with the objects of the League, but It ex claimed: ... . "Tet the United totcs will have nothing to do with the greatest organi sation ever created for the fulfillment of the league's high purposes, and this is not because America unapproves of any one of the objects of tho League but because her people nt the last election gave a decisive vote against the party of ono of the League's chief founders. "la this policy or politics? If the latter," Is It domestic politics, or intcr aational?" Co-operate With Harding The Chronicle remarked : "Nobody here has any desire to pre scribe the channels In which America's aood will may flow, and just as we gavo Sir. Wilson straightforward co-opera-Hon In founding the League, so we will cooperate in the same spirit with Mr. Hardin outside the League." The Daily Ilxpres welcomed espe cially thp Ambassador's pronouncement en the League of Nations, which it de scribed as "the end of an expensive ham." "The League, as an instrument of practical Idealism," tho newspaper add d, "Is dead, and It is best to wind up its affairs with as little cost as may be." America Js Europe's Hope The Express declared it saw in Amer ican co-operation the only hope for Eu rope'a regeneration, remarking: 'There is new hope for old, water battered Europe in the help of n young er soul. The League of Nations has found a firmer substitute." The Times says that the Allied na tions will wish to meet America more than half way, now that Mr. Harvey, like the President, has made it clear that American action will be Inspired by the- desire "helpfully to co-operate." Concerning Mr. Harvey's statement n-the League the Times says: '.That, at least, is clear. We know whtro we stand. Tho League hai its own sphere of usefulness and, in work ings within it, we believe it will not estrange American feeling or lessen American respect for Its endeavors. Wa hold that partisans of the League among the Allied nations Bhould wel come unreservedly the precise nnd prac tical American co-operation now of fered." Adopt "American Child" Declaring "we won't quarrel over it." tho Westminster Gazette, in its editorial regarding tho Ambassador's allusions to tho League of Nations, refers to the League as of American origin. "The sober minds of Europe in no wise repent having ndopted this Ameri can child" it sajs, "and if the step parent has ceased to feel affection for It they will, nevertheless, attempt to rear it so that it will be n credit to . its original home." This newspaper contends that the hard logic of cients has shown that neither America nor England can live in splendid isolation and that "it is the Blaster problem of tho present time to make the British-American idea of an orderly world pre ail against the idea of a fighting world which still domi nates most of Europe We hall not prevail unless we are able to show that our methods offer the fighting nations greater security than theirs. This Great Britain nnd Americn can do together, but neither alone." Manchester, England, Maj 20 (Bv A. P.) Commenting on the speech of Ambassador Harvey last night, the Guardian, which is a stanch upholder of the League of Nations, takes the lew that "Colonel Harvey's character iitlcally Tigorous repudiation of the League la not so discouraging as it looks. "Wo have heard that even President Harding favors an association of na throa," continued the Gunrdian. "If we cannot gain the goal in one leap we mst proceed little br little." The League, tho Guardian considers, must continue its labors until it be comes so effective ns a recognized in atrnment for good that no great Vowfr ivill desire to stay outside of it "On the whole," declares the Guar dian, "wo welcome Ambassador Har vey's words as quite comforting after the bleak reports of complete American isolation." Ambassador Harvey's appointment to ait with tho Supreme Counril the news paper considers ns "nn admission that the United States Government cannot cut Itself off from the great world prob lems, and maj perhaps in the long run carry the United States farther than President Harding at present contem plates." Harvey Says U. S. Rejects All of League OonOnotd from ram One into Illusions, and illusions we have found to be both dangerous and profit less. "We deceive ourselves occasionally.

We sent them solely to aaye the United States of Amerli a, and most reluctantly and luggardly at that. "We were not too proud to fight, whatever that may mean. Wo were Afraid not to fight. That is the real truth of the matter. So we cuino along toward the end nnd helped joii nnd your allies shorten tho war. That is all we did, and that is all we claim to have done." Discussing what he called the "sentl eat, perilous prcseut," Ambassador Harvey said ; "For years I have heard i proclaimed that war Letwtcn Great flrltuln and America had rcnfccd to be conceivable. Never have I known the declaration to 1! denied general approbation, jet Jt Is clear that what is alleged to be n fact la no more than an assumption. No resumption of nn armed conflict Is unlm nglnable, Any day may witness a ro ncwal of the War of the Rosea, any day the clash of the Bluo nnd the Gray In the swamps of Virginia. . .

There it may not go so far ns somo of jour statesmen might like.

" 'Wo inubt.' he declared, with char acteristic posltivcncss to Congress last month, 'we must piny our full part our full part in mind you 'in joining tho peoples of the world in pursuit of peace.' "Recnuje tho President hns promptly exemplifies his avowal of the obligation it must not be inferred that he pro poses to become an International med dler. Nothing could be further from his intent or his ambition. He would be the last to iutervone in or be drawn into any matter of no concern to his coun try, but also none realizes more clearly than he thnt the United States is of necessity 'deeply interested in the proper economic adjustments nnd just settle ment of maters of world-wide impor tance under discussion nnd desires help fully to co-operate.' What more in reason could be asked? What better in effect could be done? Mandate of 7,000,000 Majority "It is no part of my official task as, of course, you all know, to formulate poli cies. A Minister has to do only with interpretation, elucidation nnd applica tion. Speaking well within that limita tion, however, nnd In strict consonance with my profession of candor nnd truth fulness, I wish to make one point wholly dear. There still seems to linger in the minds of mnnv here, ns. indeed, of n few nt homo, the Impression that in fome way or other, bv hook or by crook, unwittingly and surely unwillingly, the United States may be beguiled into the League of Nations. "Now let mo show you how utterly absurd any such notion is. I need not recall the long contest waged between the two branches of our Government over this proposal. I need hardly men tion that the conflict became so rtiarp that even the treaty went by the board, to tho end that today, paradoxically enough, Americn continues to be tech nically nt war but actually nt peace, while. Europe is nominally at peace but, according to nil reports, not wholly free from the clash of arms. "Finnlly. ns you know, the question of America's participation In the Lengue enme before people nnd the people de cided ngainst It by a majority of 7.000, 000 out of a total vote of 23.000,000. Prior to that election there had been much discubsion of the real meaning of the word mandate. There has been little since n Pluglc ctnmple provided the definition. A majority of 7,000,000 clearly contejod a mandate that could neither be misunderstood nor disre garded. Rejects League Entirely "Anybody could see that it follows then inevitnbly and irresistibly that our E resent Government could not without etrnynl of its creators and masters and will not, I can assure you, have any thing whatsoever to do with the League or with any commission or committee appointed bv it or responsible to it, dlrectlj or indiiectly, oponly or fur tively. "I raise no question ns to the merita I or demerits of tho proposition. I aim- l ply state the fact as such in compli- i ante with what I have Indicated as the paramount necessity of hquarely facing living realities nnd shaping our course neioidingli I need hardly add that roy Government would uot dream of mtielziDg, much less of objecting to, the League as now constituted of other nations I wlnli only to dispose defl nitelj and fiunll of the atrangely prev alent and utterly baseless opposition re specting the nttitude of the United States of Americu." "But enough of public affairs. Per- I haps I have gone too far along that, line already, but if so I must nk '. ou' to attribute tho overstepping to the self-1 bestowed prerogatives of a novice. You see I have never been nn Ambassador before Yet I quite proudly deny any I suspicion of unawarencss that suitable acknowledgment of this, most cordial i greeting is nil that is expected or probably desired of mo upon this occu- , Blon The time was, said the Ambassador, when John Bull appeared tq.

Relieves in Friendship The Dulto of Connaught, in propos ing the Ambassador's health, bald that Mr. Harvey was n man who believed in the closest friendship between bis coun try and Great Britain for the benefit and pence of the world. "Mr. Harvey Is no stranger to Eng land," ndded tho Duke. "This is his thlrty-6e'cnth passage across the At lantic. Ills knowledge of England and his knowledge of Europo will be of the greatest help to him in tho high posi tion ho now occupies. "You will nil nnree that we would all wish that America nnd thp British Em 1 1 1 1 o should walk hand In hnnd through tint many difficulties that beset us in this world for tho benefit of tho penco of the world in general. The King has warm feelings of friendship and regard EVENING' JPUBIJO, LElXfrKiP for the United Btatw, and he more than anybody cls woald welcome an, extension of the friendly feeling which I believe exists now and which really never ceaed to exist between the two countries." Honored by United States, Premier Says Premier Lloyd George, In seconding the -Duko of Connaught. said: "The Lnlted States tins Honored ua reatly by sending us a succession of Istingiusiicd men as Ambassadors wno had already won great famo before they reached our shores. The fame of our guest has traveled long ago to this country. His championship of the cause of the Allies was well known and fully recognized. Ho Is a man of our race. "Tho war has taught us In this coun try many lessons. Ono of theie lessons is that the Immense population of the United States is not of Anglo-Saxon origin nor even of Antlo-Ccltic origin. In the United States there are men of every race under the sun. Nevertheless, it is a source of pride in these islands that In tho great events which have de termined the life nnd hUtory of America tho directing minds have been Anglo Celtic. The great literature of America Is ours; the great litorature of Britain Is theirs. Wo speak the same tongue; we worship tho same great men. That produces a sympathy and community that nothing can break. "Wo never can regard cltlrcns of the United States ns foreigners; therefore in the new Ambassador, we welcome a brilliant kinsman. Tho future well being of the world depends more upon the good will, the good understanding and co-operation between these two great English -speaking peoples than upon any other one fact. It is the best, it is the surest, guaranteo of world peace. European Diplomacy Entangled "I nm glad, then, thnt the Ambas sador's appointment coincides with tho decision of the United States to bo represented adequately In the councils of the nations. I am glad that the new Ambassador has been -chosen as the representative of the United States nnd tiint he will be present nt the coming meeting. It is essential for the pence of the world that America should be In. "European diplomacy works always in the dense thicket of ancient feuds, rooted, entangled and entwined. It is difficult to eee the pnth: it is not al ways possible to seo the light of day. I did not realize It all until tho Peace Conference, I did not realize how deep the roots are. "In Central Europe there arc blood feuds nil thought had been dead nud buried for centuries, which hac been resurrected into full and vigorous life. Repression and repose for centuries have given them new strength. It is difficult to walk wisely or well amid all these ancient conflicts the memo ries nrc so great, so continuous, so In tense, tho momentum of revenge In creases nt each succeeding stroke. "If this war isn't the last war, the next will leave Europe in ashes. It is essential we should find some means of dragging the nations out of this labv rlntli of hatred, this degradation, for our own safety." Premier Welcome America Referring to America, Mr. Lloyd Georgo said: "We welcome this new Power, vigorous, strong, clear-headed, untrammcled with these old quarrels. He concluded : "We are delighted to r tho United States coming, not beennso we want to drag Americn into these quarrels. That would only mnkc It worse nnd aggra vate things'. We want America to help us out, not to help us In. We appeal to America not merely as n Nation of high ideals. We know that it is not a country that will say, 'Am I my brotlier's keeper? "The world has become more Inter dependent than It has ever been before. hat has happened, even In trade, dur ing the last few months bhows how dependent not merely one nation in Europe is on the other, but bow de pendent one continent Is on another Therefore, this decision excites hopes in our breasts. We rejoice In it and we rejoice in the selection which hns been made of a man who knows Europe, who understands Europe, who is n whole hearted American an American pa triot. "When I propose his health I ac claim not only the new Ambassador to the Court of St. James, but the repre sentative of the great democracy of the West in the councils of the nations of the world."

The expected hostilo attitude In the Chamber of Deputies failed to material ize yesterday nfternoon, it being lulled into drowsiness by Andre Tardlcu'a long harangue bristling with figures wherein gold nnd paper francs and, marks were intermingled so confusingly, that M.

After the recess following M. Tar dieu'8 speech only a handful of Deputies returned to listen to the Marquis do Baudry Dasson.

In the absence of Lord Harding, the British Charge d'Affaircs carried a mes sage from Enrl Curzon to M. Bcrtholet at tho Porelgn Ofileo reminding the French Government of M.

Pre mier Brinnd of Franco Is opposed to a meeting of the Supreme Allied Council to discuss the Slleslan question until the Tnter-Allled Commission in Silesia liaR reached an agreement and submitted a nport. Some of this morning's newspnpers declared that M. Brland and Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain wcro likely to meet nt Boulogne cither tomorrow or Sunday.

Col, Harvey Gave Views of Harding Continued from Face On 7 ficlent supply of coal left her upon which, to found her economic recovery nnd her capacity to pay reparations to tho Allien.

Interpreting our Interests In Kurope broadly as economic concern with Eu rope's enpacity to produce and to buy, ns Mr. Ifugherf docs, ifsyns difficult to Fee how Slicsla would be n purely Eu ropean question, nnd it is now expected that Silesln may concern us nnd that wo max bo fonccd by circumstances to take part in it, nrrnylhg ourselves with England nnd Rnlv against France. xnere can linrqly be said to be any American international policy. Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes have not gone further than to decide that America's interest require this countrv to tnko part in clearing up tho muddle left by tho war." Mr. Harvey is in Europe to look after American interests. To this pursuit of interests, to this participation internationally, Mr. Harding has set ono limit nnd Mr. Hughes agrees with him.

"HIS Victor interest reveals, In no case will this country entor tho league. Thus, tho policy of Hughes and Harding is that we shall protect our nation by inter national participation, That la the positive side of it. But we shall atop short of entering tho League of Notions. That is' the negative side of it All the rest of it la unox plored territory. Huiiiea May Sneered Whlto It is a largo field and will hardly be explored by next fall when, according to reports today, the President hopes to have his foreign policy sufficiently developed to .spare Mr. Hughes from his present post ao as 'to name him as successor of Chief Justice White. Tho international policy will atill be in tho making next fall. As to Mr. Harding's attitude toward Mr. Hughes, his friends say that ho constantly speaks witb'prido of his "two strong advisers, Hughes and Hoover." Politically, entrance- into (he jfjcaguo of Nations, wen with reservations and acceptanco of tho Versailles Treaty with reservations, becomes steadily mora Impossible. The Senate started out with a positivo program of dominating this country's foreign policy It has been forced to abandon that hope, but It clings nil tho more obstinately in its disappointment to the ncgativo program of defeating, if necessary, the League of Nations nnd the Versailles Treaty. If (tho President wcro toask for the ratification of the Wilson treaty, except as greatly modified by a supplementary treaty, and for tho acceptance of the Wison leaguo under, its present name, even with the covenant greatly changed, he would havo n more serious revolt on his hands than Wilson had last winter. He would wreck his party. Ho knows this. Colonel Harvey's speech is a notice to Eur6po that it must not build too much upon. Mir participation in the Su preme Council.
