right OF secession on due notice. This
would prevent civil war within the
league. The right of expulsion by the
majority will prevent one nation by
its veto power indefinitely blocking all
progress Of the league
It also occurs to Mr.. Holt that this
plan should appeal to militarists as
well as paciflsts lecause it does not
involve anything that savors of an
immediate or complete disarmament,
although az the league grew in num-
beers and strength disarmament among
its component parts would be gradual
but continuous. until finally the
whole world Is federated in a broth

OF course. the suggestions of MI.
Holt are open to question and debate,
as is every other proposal that may
come from man. In such q league, the
nation having the most available men
and the largest resources would nat
urally provide a proportionate and
thereby the largest share Of the arma-
ment or force Of the league. Suppose
this nation left the league voluntarily

be liable to have a force largely super

might swoop down on and destroy one

with the league Of peace as one Of its
participants.
But even IL these suggestions Of pos
sible flaws in the entire effectiveness
Of the plan are valid, which they may
not be, the proposal made by Mr.. Holt
is a distinctive and definite one, where
generalltles have been the order be-
fore, and one that merits the careful
consideration Of the peace protagon-
lists. He has done a valuable service
in it's presentation.
Naturally. MT. Holt looks to the
United States to take the lead in the
organization of this League of Peace
when the time is ripe for it. and if it
be deemed worthy of a trial; and as he
suggests in q most illuminating
thought. we, the great nation of peace
might well take the steps to add to
our Declaration Of Independence, a
Declaration Of Interdependence for all
the nations Of the earth.

Nicholas issued a decree prohibiting
the sale Of vodka, the Russian whisky.
