ALLIES 10 BE
FOUNDATION. FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

London. July 10.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)-",The
United States, Great Britain and
France will be the foundation OF any
league Of nations and they must &C,
cept this burden at once" declared
Sir Francis Trippel to an Associated
Press correspondent. Sir Francis re-
Gently issued an appeal for the imme-
diate formation in England OF q
Council for the Advocacy Of a League
of Nations"
The first thing to be done is to d.
vest the scheme of Illusions" he said.
ga league Of nations is not an absolute
substitute for war;. 1t Is not an abso-
lutte guarantee Of peace. It does not
mean, for the present, total disarma-
ment. It cannot be a forgive and
forget" panacea. 4
"a league Of nations must have the
power to enforce it's DEGREES. That is
the crux OF the whole question. If 1t
has not, it will go the way Of all the
rest.
Its chief junction will be to remove
the causes Of war. 1t must make 1t
hard to stand alone. If a nation
knows that a league has no power to
kenforce it's DEGREES, 1t has scant re-
spect or scruple for it.
Does anyone in his senses believe
that such a league is eve remotely
possible with a dominant Germany?
She is the pariah nation Of an angered
world. If the fight ends in a draw,
she remains dominant. If it ended
tomorrow, she would snap her fingers
at the ideals Of the universe. Ger
many, as she is, is a menace to the
worlds peace.
H"No propaganda is more important
at the present time than the propa.
ganda Of the league Of nations And
its existence depends upon Germany's
defeat at her own particular game
the game of war.
"a council for the advocacy Of 8
league Of nations will be necessary II
every country as far as possible, II
imperialistic tendencies and dynastie
desires for conflict are to be checked
We begin at any rate with the
United States, France and Great Brit,
ain. These three western democracie'
are bound to form an influential por
ton of my league Of nations in tn.
near future.
"A preliminary council for Grea
Britain should be formed from publ.
men of all opinions"

ATTORNEY HOUSE ENDS WITH
ARNRIGHTS ANSWER

ATLANTA, June 12.--Although at
torneys representing the Peoples COM
mittee Of Atlanta, which is fighting the
petition of the Georgia Railway and
Power company for increased rates
kept Preston S. Albright, president
of the company, on the grill all day
yesterday, and a part of today. they
did not succeed in developing any sa-
lent points on either side CT the case.
In reply to questions propounded by
attorneys representing various large
manufacturing concerns, which are
fighting the proposed rates, President
Albright showed that the company
proposes to make the greatest increase
In the rates Of these concerns for the
power they use in wholesale quanti-
ties, because they can best afford to
bear an increase and because the COM
pany is losing money on their bust
ness, while the company proposes to
make the smallest increases in the
rates for retail electric current used
in the homes OF the people for lighting
purposes, because they can least afford
to bear an increase and also because
the company is just about breaking
even on their business.
An amusing feature Of the hearing
yesterday afternoon was atilt between
Mr.. Albright and city Attorney House
of Dalton. The later was laying great
stress. on the fact that the Georgia
Railway and Power Company supplies
the city Of Dalton with power bought
from the Tennessee Power Company
aI Iour Hills per klloWdL HOuf, anu
charges Dalton eleven mills per kilo-
watt.
eyes,, retorted Mr.. Albright, "and
the city of Dalton sells the power to
its citizens for twelve cents per kilo-
watt hour"
This terminated City Attorney
Houses cross examination.
