Urges Government Control
of All transportation and
Communication Lines

Advocating centralized authority,
preferably by government ownership
of the great transportation systems of
the country, and military training for
hoys and girls under experts, Charles
Zueblin, publicist and author from
Boston, outlined number of prepar-
edness plans which should be adopted
by this country, in his address to the
educators on "America-Pace Maker Or
Peace Maker"
Mr. Zeublin pointed out that Ameri-
ca is not prepared to meet any great
emergency. and that preparedness
plans should be made with definite
ends in view.

Ex-President Taft Declares
Skinny On Your Own Side"
Policy Doesn't Hold NoW

Ex-President William Howard Taft
addressing the Educational Associa-
ton last night on the question of
whether the United States should be-
come q part of the proposed League
to Enforce Peace raped those who
object to this nations entering such
league on grounds that it should
follow the policy laid down by Wash
ington of Shiny on our own side"
Mr.. Taft also scored the objections
of pacificists who oppose the use of
armed force by the league to enforce
its rules and regulations.
Mr.. Taft declared that when George
Washington laid down the doctrine of
tending to our own business" the
United States was q nation Of thirteen
States along the Atlantic seaboard
and that his advice was perfectly
sound but that he never meant that
advice to govern TIE nation as 1t is
constituted to-day.
Now a Worldwide Power
I'VE are now not only an Atlantic
power, but Pacific" declared the ex-
President. Nay, we are more. We
are an Asiatic power with the Philip
pines and the Hawaiian Islands; we
are an arctic power with Alaska; we
are a West Indian power with Porto
Rico and our protectorate of Cuba;
we are q South American power with
our Monroe doctrine and our pledge
to preserve Panama. We are now five
days instead of twenty-five away from
the shores of Europe. The advice of
Washington sounds as it was hun
dred and twenty-five years ago does
not hold good to-day.
Mr.. Taft explained in detail the
plans of the League to Enforce Peace,
the organization of whick he is head,
and declared the objection of pacif-
cists to the clause under which the
union of nations would use force to
compel the obedience of recalcitrant
peoples is a foolish one.
Force Still Necessary
II do not say that pacihcists are
fools, mollycoddles or cowards," smiled
the ex-President, "but I do insist that
they are mistaken when they claim
that force is of necessity wrong. 1 do
not really believe, however, that there
are nearly so many pacificists to-day
as there were before the present war.
Armed power among a community
of nations of the world is just as i'm
portant as a police force in a big city,
the militia in the State, or the army
in the nation to protect the common
good against the vicious. The thought
of armed physical force helps such to
stand willing and ready to obey the
law. And nations do not yet repre-
sent the morality of the average man"
Mr.. Taft declared that he believes

More Latitude For
Nurses Is Permitted

First Deputy Attorney General w.
II. Keller has given an opinion to DIR.
j. M. Baldy, president of the State
Bureau of Medical Education and
Licensure, that it is mot illegal for a
nurse who has been trained in the
administration of anethetics to ad-
minister such anesthetic as may be
prescribed by physician under and
in accordance with his orders and
directions.P Mr.. Keller discusses the
law in detail and says that there is
nothing in the law which places the
administration of an anesthetic on a
different or higher plane than any
other drug.

he urged that instead of having them
dig trenches in any part of the coun-
try, the young men should be taken to
States where more irrigation bitches
are needed. The author gave several
other instances of how the training
could be turned into practical chan
nels and would benefit the country at
the same time that the younger gen.
Grafton was being drilled.
That enemies would paralyze the
transportation lines of the country
without centralized control, was the
point brought out forcibly by Mr..

ownership.

there are some people conscientiously
opposed to the use of force and men,
toned the Quakers as an example. He
said that perhaps they are right just
as they were in the questions of religi-
Gus tolerance and the equality of wo-
men three hundred years ago, but he
does not yet believe the time is come
when armed force can safely be laid
aside If the common veal is to be pro-
tected.
Discussing whether the League to
Enforce Peace is feasible, Mr.. Taft
pointed out that the scheme has been
endorsed by President Wilson, Charles
Evans Hughes, Senator Lodge, Lloyd
George, Lord Curzon, Balfour, Lord
Grey, Premier BRAND of France and
Bethmann Won Hollweg of Germany
Why Peace Is Proposed
Discussing the peace proposals of
Germany, Mr.. Taft declared that
doubtless one of the reasons they have
been made is to show the German
people that If war continues it will not
be because the government wishes it,
and to justify the dynasty in the eyes
of the people.
He declared that when the present
war is over the peoples of Europe will
insist that their rulers find some way
to effect a peace which will be a con-
slant quantity. He pointed out that
no nation will have to maintain a
really large standing army or navy
if all join together to police the af-
fairs of the world as a whole.
Raps Philippine Policy
The eX-President declared he would
not say what he thought of the United
States Philippine policy "in the pres
ence of the ladies'" He raised a big
laugh when he said Mexico is an in
ternational nuisance" and declared he
would "deprecate our going in but the
possibility of our doing so grows no
less remote"
Just before ex-President Taft spoke
a message from Governor Brumbaugh
was read to the educators. The Gov
ernor expresse dregret that his fathers
recent death prevented his being pres
ent and announced he will ask the
Assembly for an appropriation of $751;
100000 for the schols in his coming
message to tLat BODY.
