HNs.VMaE.r
Washington, Feb. Still fervently
hoping for peace, but taking every pos
sible step to prepare the country for war
II it must come, President Wilson today
appealed to congress to quickly dispose
Of all routine business, appropriation
bills and pending Legislation and clear its
decks for action to meet any eventually.
The president wants congress ready
to act if it becomes necessary for him to
address it again and ask for authority to
use all the II of the United States
to protect American ships and lives on
their peaceful and lawful errands on the
high seas.
The safe arrival of American ships in
English harbors, reported this morning,
brought relief to officials.
Apparently the mex question of great
moment relates to Austria's participation
in Germany's campaign Of ruthlessness.
President Wilson is ready to sever rela-
tons also with the dual monarchy as
soon as it officially subscribes to the Ger
man declaration.

signatories. That is to say. it will not
protect a signatory from attack by a
nation outside the league. True, the
league will not be formed unless 1t en-
braces an overwhelming preponder-
ance of military power, but even such
organization might still leave for
midable enemy outside its ranks. This
one fact alone makes necessary the
maintenance of armaments. Further
more, nations will not be willing to
disarm until time has proved not only
that the league is able to protect them
from assault, but that the league it
self will hold together.
"Still another element in the prob
lem is the duty which will be imposed
upon each member of the league to
supply it's military quota If called upon
to do so. In the opinion of the franz
ers of the plan this latter contingency
is not likely to arise because no nation
will be so foolish as to refuse the rea-
sonable demand for an inquiry-be-
ing free to go to war afterwards--in
the face of the painful alternative of
having to wage war against practically
the civilized world. But the military
power of the league is made up of
the armies and navies of its individual
members. The strength of these is,
therefore, an essential condition to
the success of the league in avoiding
actual war.
"Still another group of objectors
complains that, just as compulsory ar
bitration is Objectionable in the Indus
trial field, so that same compulsory ar
bitration is objectionable In the inter-

leaning on precedent will, in the first
place, build up the sanest and most
enduring kind OF law, namely, judge
law. 1t is conscious of the fact that
it was in this way that the English
common law was evolved and wants
this process applied internationally. 1t
believes, further, that the very exist
ence of the court will invite the codifi-
cation of certain spheres of interna-
tional law just as the Hague conven-
ton providing for an International
Code of Prize produced the London
convention which aimed to codify the
law of prize. 1t believes that every
time a question is removed from the
area of politics to that of law the
peace of the world is made more Sc
ci.Te. But it does not believe that the
existence of the court is alone suffi-
cient to discourage such outrageous
assaults on the peace of the world as
the present great war.
For that something more Is need
ed. Just as, within the State, we find
back of the law the sheriff and finally
the whole military force of the State
and nation. so, eventually. in order ef-
fectively to prevent war, the whole
military force of the society of ma
tions must be put back of the accept
ed rules of international practice and
of international morality. However
the league has stated frequently that
in its belief this ideal cannot be real
lied at once, that we must be content
simply with a step in this direction
"~~ Coz the nrasent stop short of an

national field. The answer to this is
that the league is not planning COM
pulsory inquiry. Surely the latter has
proved not only fair but of the highest
use in industrial disputes.
The league will have no power to
force a nation into court Nations will
be free to go on with their disputes in
definitely, just as we continued our
fisheries disputes with England for
three-quarters of a century. But if
any one of the disputants should at
tempt to begin war over the ques-
tion at issue before submitting it to in
quiry, the league will forthwith en-
ploy its military forces to discipline it,
1T will appear that the present pro-
gram of the league does not go so far
as to aim at insuring justice The first
essential is to discourage war. And
the making of war without a previous
inquiry is the only act which the
league will itself go to war over.
Opponents of the league complain
of the present carnage, it's awful in
justice and inhumanity, its violations
of international law,and the staggering
war debts being piled up, yet they op-
pose the employment of human rea-
son, through adequate organization. to
prevent the recurrence of such disas-
ters."
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-01-04

jury done. The answer to this is that
just as in municipal law, we find
lodged in the courts the power to for
bid. by injunction. the continuance OF
Objectionable acts pending the in
quiry, so there will be vested in the
league this same power of injunction
to force the offending nation to sus-
pend its pernicious activities, pend
ing the inquiry, under penalty of i'm
mediate war at the hands of the
league. The worshipers of force who
oppose a program so fair as this
either have not taken the trouble to
investigate the plan or are advocates
of international anarchy.
Favor Preparedness
This same group likewise charges
the league with opposing adequate
preparedness. That charge is equal
ly unfair and untrue. The league has
said, through it's executive committee,
that efficient preparation for ade-
quate national defense is In no way in
consistent with the purpose of the
league but on the contrary Is essen
tial' Abatement of armaments is not
likely to be brought about through in
ternational agreement. 1t will prob
ably come only through disuse, that
is, when a better international organi-
zation shall have shown, in the course
of time, that heavy armaments are no
longer needed. The formation of the
league cannot produce this result i'm
mediately for several reasons. In the
first place. in order to avoid all APP
pearance of aggression, the league is
planned to operate only on its own

Admit Some War Do Good
THE extreme advocates of force
maintain that some wars are righteous
wars and that, in the past, wars or
this kind have served great ends. We
admit that but we meet 1t with two
fold answer;
"G) That the aims attained by
these righteous wars of the Iast are
possible of attainment by better inter-
national organization without war;
"(2) That, should the wrongs be so
grievous as to justify resort to war and
should the inquiry which we insist
upon fail at the same time to bring
about a discontinuance of the wrongs,
the righteous war may still be under
taken without penalty at the hands of
the league.
These same worshippers of force
express the fear that, during such an
investigation, which may continue for
months, the Objectionable practice
might be followed and irreparable in
