Mr. Hunt also charges that Willliam
H. Short, secretary of the League,
took from the files certain letters
of Mr. Short and George W. Wicker-
sham in which Mr. Short proposed a
campaign in the interest of Governor
Cox and Mr. Wickersham “agreed in
part.” Mr. Short refused to give up
the letters, the report states, on the
ground that they were personal.
A letter from Mr. Wickersham to
Mr. Short dated July 30. 1920, says:
“Thank you, my dear Mr. Short,
for Arthur Sweetser’s memorandum.
It is very logical and sound. How
much better was Governor Coolidge’s
speech of acceptance than that of Sen-
ator Harding’s.”
Other correspondence shows that
William Howard Taft threatened to
resign from the presidency of the
league if it took a partisan part in
politics, and reiterated his belief that
Senator Harding will be elected and
that the “one hope of securing the
league with the Lodge reservations is
through the Republican candidate.”
The Hunt report shows that the
League to enforce peace spent 82,500
to finance a letter sent by Samuel
Gompers to 50,000 local unions asking
the members to bring pressure to
bear on Senators to have them vote
for the League of Nations.

St Louis, Oct. 18.—Scores of con-
fidential letters from the files of the
league to enforce peace, of which
Wm. Howard Taft, is president, were
introduced into the records of the Sen-
ate committee investigating campaign
expenditures here late today. Names
of a number of prominent New York
bankers were mentioned in the cor-
respondence.
Don M. Hunt attorney for the
committee, who investigated the ac-
tivities of the league, reported that
“in my estimation” officials of the
league have violated the Logan Act
passed January 30, 1799, which pro

controversies without the permission
of the United States. The act car-
ries a penalty upon conviction. of fines
of not more than 85,000 and imprison-
ment of from six months to three
years.
The report of Mr. Hunt’s investiga-
tion of the league to enforce peace
proved the sensation of the day. Doz-
ens of confidential letters between
Mr. Taft, Geo. W Wickersham, Theo-
dore Barburg and others were given.
In his summary, Mr. Hunt points
out that Herbert S. Hoover testified
before the committee that be had
talked with the bourgeoise, the Ger-
man counsellor; Lord Robert Cecil,
and David Lloyd Georg* in regard to
the United States entering the League
of Nations, and that Edward A. FHene
of Boston, who has been abroad on
