People have come to believe that the
world will be spared another war Of
the magnitude and intensity Of the
present conflict by removing the fun
damental causes of international fric-
tion and a rigid enforcement there
after of the decrees and mandates of
a league of nations. Every statesman
of note in both sets of belligerents has
indorsed the scheme in principle.
There is more than passing inter-
est therefore in the discussion which
is taking root in Washington and
which has already been given seri-
Gus consideration in Great Britain,
France and Italy of putting into ef-
feet at once league of nations.
starting with those nations now COM
bined against the central powers.
Experience with the two Hague
conferences and the London naval
conference emphasizes that when
there is no compulsion based upon
concrete difficulties international
meetings have struggled vainly with
academic distractions. Acceptance or
rejection of formulas and proposals
has been based upon political aftlli-
at1onS and alliances.

about the prices charged in Warrington

traitor removed potatoes from the

said to have boosted prices to from

Protests against Ice dealers refusing
to sell householders who insist on
weighing Ice, continue to ind their way
to the food administrator. According to
these complaints it appears that the ice
dealers resent having Ice weighed by
their customers. However, the COM

dealers will be instructed to discontinue
