BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1913.
PARIS, France, November 29.-The
question as to what extent the al
lies should occupy various points In
central and eastern Europe for the
purpose Of keeping order is extremely
complicated Diplomats have their
point of view and liberals and con-
is far from having been reached.
After talking to various persons I
feel tempted to present the problem
thus: 10 =: -
It naturally falls under two heads.
first, occupation to keep order
throughout the period of occupation
pending the decision of the. peace
conference and. second. occupation
later to enforce the decisions Of the
peace conference.
Arguments For and Against.
Those who favor occupation say
that the war is not over until peace
is signed. They aver that the seat
Of trouble lies in what, until re-
Gently, was enemy territory. or in
Russia, with which we still are at.
war, and that, therefore, it is our
duty to prevent forcib1y all acts of
violence until peace is signed. 1t
would not require q great number of
men because the moral power of their
presence would be sufficient. More
over the work Of occupation would
be eQuitably divided between the al
lies. The presence of our troops would
check the spread of boIshevism and
enable us to ascertain the true condi-
tions throughout Europe. thus CIV
ing reliable data for the final deci-
sions.
inose who oppose reply that such
ocupation would be contrary to the
principle of self-determinatien~ and
would only serve to create friction
between the soldiers and the civil
population which would be irritated
by the presence Of foreign troops. 1t
would require many more men than
one at first imagines. because Of the
great extent Of territory which would
probably, have to be covered. Thus a
great number of soldiers would be
kept under arms longer than neces-
sary, occasioning not only additional
hardship for them. but additional ex-
pense for . the country. Moreover,
most of the people with whom dis
putes have arisen can, If given the
time, be trusted to find solution by
themselves.

As Regards Use Of Troops.

The arguments for and against the

Of the peace conference by the So
ciety of nations are similar. Those
in favor of 1t say the decision VIII

are backed by arms. When necessary.
those who break international laws
must be punished the same as those
who break civil laws. The habit of
taking international military action
lawabfding countries would gradually
acquire the same confidence in the
International authorities which they
now feel toward the national. -:
Those opposed reply that interyen-

principles of true internatiopalism.
They feel that international authori-

come to constitute a sort of super

out that such superstate might

ways to- support whatever govern
ment might be In power, regardless of
what form of government the people
really wanted.
Divided as to Enforcement.
Those who favor the enforcement of
International decisions by arms. are
divided as to the means. Some favor
the creation of zones of influence,
holding certain great powers respon-
sible for policing various proportions
Of the world. Thus the United States
would police part of the western
hemisphere, leaving the policing of
the eastern hemisphere to the Euro
pean powers.
Others object that this idea is en-
tirely impra cticable and besides does
not conform to true internatfenalisnl:.
They favor a mixed international
staff, which would have the authority
to order the troops of any nation to
the scene of trouble in accordance
with circumstances-an authority
similar to that which Marshal Eoch
has exercised so brilliantly since last
spring.
This whole question will certainly
be one Of the most important at the
coming conference.

T Announcemen was made yesterday
by the District food administration
that it has been informed that some
food dealers in Washington have
openly declared they are awaiting the
abolition of the administration so
they may boost food prices without
fear Of interference or punishment.

ent form until the official declaration

Anticipated by Administration.
The administration has anticipated
something of this kind and is now
laying plans to institute more ex-
tensive and stringent inspection. The
administration feels, however, that
most of the storekeepers in, Washing
dealings, both with the adnltnistration
and the public. 1t is confident, they

The food administrator Is aware
that there has been some profiteering
on the part Of, a few Dealers and is
not surprised at the report that some
of them are. building, up hopes, of a
rosy future in price ibQpsting: It is
promised that these, Offenders if
caught, will be dealt with in the most
severe manner. - 3
The reports received by the admin y
istration are being Investigated. It
is likely that dealers. who SO expressed
themselves will be called upon to .ex-
plain.
Realizing that the I resembling of
many orders and regulations govern

Administration declares, that the
checking of profiteeTing throughout
the United States will be one Of it's
