COL. ROOSEVELT AGAINST IT

Col Roosevelt is opposing the plans
for world league to enforce peace.
He points out that there are questions
involving national honor which the ma
tion cannot afford to arbitrate and in
weighs against America being drawn
into "entangling alliances" fearing
that Uncle Sam may be called upon at
any time to send his soldiers across
the sea to help quell some disturber
OF the peace. lie takes the view that
the only safe course for the nation to
follow is that OF preparedness to meet
any emergency, ready to defend itself
with arms whenever there arises an
International controversy which can.
not be adjusted by other means.
Apparently, Col Roosevelt oyerlooks
the fact that an arrangement Of the
kind which the League to Enforce
Peace contemplates, with all the great
powers included in It, would minimize
the danger OF war. The fact that the
nation might be called upon to rem
der service In preserving peace in 9th
er parts OF the world is no more an
argument against the proposed league
than the possibility that a policeman
IN a city is likely to be needed Is
reason why peace officers should not
be maintained The idea Of the league
Is reduction Of naval and military ar.
maments. each nation maintaining
only sufficient forces to make the ag.
gregate sufficient for the purpose in.
tended
The alternative to such league IS
the continuance OF the present system.
America Is called upon to make her
national defense system the equ'ya-
lent OF the establishments OF the mill
taristic European powers and herein
is another point which appears to cut
little figure in Col Roosevelts calcu.
latlons. II would certainly be far bet
ter TO send sone OF our soldiers across
the sea. should occasion arise, than
to be subject to the danger Of having
millions Of our citizens slaughtered on
the altar of the war god, at the same I
time paying out vast sum annually
for defense purposes
The fear that America might get the
worst Of It in some adjudication az
fecting national honor is the same
kind that would make private citizen
unwilling to take q case involving his
vital interests to court for settlement |
There is no more reason why justice .
should not be meted out in a properly
constituted tribunal Of nations than IN
a court for the settlement of individ-
ual disputes. Until there is a general
consent to let reason and right rule
in the relations among nations the re.
sort to arms will be inevitable.
Willingly or unwillingly, America
has already been drawn into the mesh
of foreign "entanglements,' fact that
has been all too evident since the great
war began. Modern means Of travel
and communication have made us
near neighbors Of the nations beyond
the seas and we are therefore compell-
ed play our part in the world family.

"Babbling Tongues" a production of unusual merit and appeal, is the attraction at the Breed theatre for today and Tuesday. The play is a masterpiece of William Humphrey, one of the foremost motion picture di- rectors of the country; having assem- bled an all-star cast to carry out the demand of the pretentious subject. The public will find in viewing this photoplay a satisfaction which an un- usual production always gives. The production is full of new situations and tremendous climaxs, and has been proclaimed by press and public as a novel addition to Motion Picture Art. The cast is composed of James Morri- son, Arthur Donaldson. Grace Valen- tine. Paul capellani, Louise Beaudet, Carolyn Birch, and Gladden. James. The gathering of such a group. of stars in one production under the masterfuI direction of William Humphrey as- sures the finished artistry necessary for so big a production.
 Pearl White will be seen in ''The Fatal Ring and the latest war news in the Hearst-Pathe Weekly completes the bill.
