Uncle Harry Talks About the
Prospects for League of Nations

"Joe," said Uncle Harry, when the
\ little group had gathered for the even
ing's talk. what do you think has been
the chief thought in the minds OF the
thinking peopel Of all the nations dur
ing the past four years of WARP
Joe looked puzzled, for IL was not
often that Uncle Harry asked a ques-
ti0n point blank without giving any
hint as TO what was in his mind.
Well" said Joe finally, Il guess that
would depend upon the particular ma
tion. The people OF Great Britain ana
France. for instance, were naturally
thinking OF defeating the Germans and
winning the war as soon as possible" A."
"Of course" said Uncle Harry. but
there's something that goes little
deeper than that; can you tell me
: Helen?"
Il can tell you what have thought
about a great many times, Uncle Harry,
/ both before and after our country
entered the war, and that is this: II the
nations OF the world don't ind a way
OF getting along peaceably and pre-
venting another war like this, don't
know what Is going TO become OF US
ALL"
Fine" exclaimed Uncle Harry, pat-
ting Helen upon the shoulder, you've
hit the nan on the head the first tine.
And that's exactly what want 70 talk
about this evening-the possibility OF
doing away with war entirely"
Terrible Lessons Of the World War.
This war, as you well know, has
been the greatest calamity that has
ever befallen humanity. The figures
showing the losses in life and property
and the cost Of 10 all are so vast that
we cannot comprehend them. 10 is es-
timated that the direct cost OF waglng
the war TO all Of the warning nations
VIII amount TO two hundred billion
dollars and that the total casualties
number 27,S75,00O, OF which the dead
alone number probably ten million.
Naturally the people OF the world,
sick with the horror OF so much blood
shed and destruction, turn with a new
seriousness TO any plan which seems to
promise the doing away with war in
the future. And so the project Of a
League Of Nations Is brought to the
front and the discussion of Il will un-
d0ubtedly be an important part Of the
Peace Conference soon TO be held"
Il heard father say he thought that |
was one Of the main reasons why |
President Wilson was anxious TO go /
abroad" said Joe. "The President has |
always been interested in a League Of |
Nations, hasn't he, Uncle Harry?"
Yes" replied Uncle Harry, you may !
that the President advocated |
such a league In one OF his fourteen |
peace conditions, practically all OF |
which the Allies accepted. Lloyd George |
and other national leaders have also !
given the question much thought. Wis
count Grey, former British Foreign |
recently wrote a pamphlet |
entitled the League Of Nations, In |
which he sets forth very clearly the /
necessity for such a League OF Nations /
in the future, If we are not 10 perish |
from the earth through wars He says
In part; The establishment and main
tenance Of a League Of Nations such
as President Wilson has advocated, is

What the Nations Must DO.
The idea behind the League Of Ma
tions is that all nations. big or little.
mast submit 10 certain recognized laws.
/ just as each person must respect the
laws Of the country in which he lives.
You have read in your history books
how, in the early days OF colonization
In America. the settlers had TO carry
their guns everywhere as protection
against the Indians and white outlaws
who had no respect for any law but
the law OF force. The nations have al
ways found 1t necessary to carry their
guns with them so 10 speak, and you
have seen the final result when Ger
many thinking that her gun was the
largest tried 10 establish a rule OF
force throughout the world Germany
failed after four years OF blOOdshed
and the world has been brought 10
realize as II never did before, the SUI
preme necessity for an international ar
rangement which will make II impos-
sible for any nation to ever do what
Germany tried 10 do"
Hasn't the Idea OF League OF Ma
tions ever been thought OF before"
asked Jlmmyg
Yes indeed replied Uncle Harry,
the idea Is many, many years old
Men have always realized the awful
cost Of wars and have attempted 10
prevent them by making treaties de-
signed TO fx a balance Of power among
the great nations Of Europe. The great
est attempt IN the direction OF
permanent peace came with the es-
tablishment Of the Hague Tribunal, az
which practically all OF the nations
pledged themselves to the arbitration
OF disputes that might otherwise lead
TO war. In 1915. think Il was, when
the appalling results OF a world war
began TO make themselves fully appar-
ent there was organized IN this coun-
try the League to Bnforce Peace, with
II. Taft as president.
But the events Of the past four years
have shown that pledges 20 arbltrate,
While all right as far as they go, are
OF little value when there Is no means |
Of enforcing them and nations are left |
free TO pile up immense armies and !
nayles with which to make war"
''Will a League OF Nations provide |
then that each nation must dlsarm ?" |
asked Helen.
That Is something that remains TO |
be worked out" replied Uncle Harry. /

NOW RETIRING
LIBERTY LOANS
$3.50, 900, 900 of First and
Second Issues is Back
in Treasury
WILL ELIMINATE
SINKING FUND
By The Unlted Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Retiremenf
OF Liberty Bonds by the Treasury ha:
begun. This was revealed today in IN,
annual report Of the Treasury Depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1918.
A total Of S25O,OOO,OOO Of the first
second and third bond issues had been
bought back by the Treasury on No
vember 4. This does not represent
quite five per cent. OF each issue which
under the Liberty Loan act the Treas
ury is permitted to buy back each
year.
1t was indicated that after this year
the full 1--WE per cent. Of each issue
would be retired. This viii eliminate
the piling up OF great sinking fund
reduced the Interest payments annu-
ally and permit Of retirement Of all
bonds On. their maturity date twenty
years hence.
Secretary McAdOO estimates that in
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919,
public debt redemptiOns win aggre-
gate s695OO0,OOO The grand total Of
expenditures for the year Is estimated
at S27,7is, ,t2S,OO0 which IS approxi-
mately sI,OOO,OOO,OOO less than the esti-
mated total receipts.
The recent Treasury announce
ment OF a flfth war loan, there
fore was accepted 10 mean that the
next loan scheduled for early In April,
1919. would be for S5,0O0OO0OOO. This
belief was based on calculations Of a
further reduction In expenditures, on
cials said. In the report, the secretary
strongly urges a continuation Of the
war savings campaign as a peace time
measure OF thrift. He estimates the
1919 series Of savings stamps should
bring IN more than si,250,0O0000, 30
per cent more than during the last
year.
Discovery and development Of pro-
cess for producing glycerin syntheti-
oally by fermentation OF sugar Is dis
closed by the report. The discovery
was made by chemists attached to the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue and afford
ed the assurance that during the latter
part OF the war there would not be a
shortage OF glycerine supply for muni-
tions manufacture.
The financial transformation from
peace TO war was accomplished, Nc
Adoo declares, without shock or flnan-
clal diturbance Of any kind. The credit
and business structure OF the nation re-
mains sound and strong"
In this connection the report points
out that:
1t must not be regarded that entire |
amounts expended during 1917 and 1918
have been permanently absorbed. A, /,
large part represents productive invest |
ment and VIII be salvaged. It VIII re-
qulre several months to give an ac-
rurate estimate OF capital outlays, |
salvage and expenditures Of sperman-
mt character during the war.
As TO furture expenditures the re-
port says there IS no hint Of immediate /
iimunition IN the cash Outgo from the
treasury. The prediction Is made that
tho present high monthly disburse-
ments likely Will continue until the
middle Of 1919 at least.
One OF the factors which tend to make
the treasury requirements for
the next year, the report outlines, is the
possible demands for loans by our
European associates In the war.

permanent peace can be secured unless
all OF the nations consent TO either
partial or complete dlsarament. Hereto
fore, every large European country has
been compelled 10 compete with its
neighb0rs in maintaining powerful
lighting force, the result being a race
for military or naval supremacy that
never ended and that grew more bur
densome and costly every year.
"The suggestion has been made In
connection with a League OF Nations,
that each nation disarm and contribute
TO the maintenace OF an international
military and naval police force which
would serve the purpose Of enforcine
the laws Of the League IL force should
become necessary.
1T is a big problem, probably the
greatest that has ever engaged the

ti0ns succeed In establishing a League

ices or the past four years, great as
