THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS,

Although President Wilson went 70
France as the champion of The League
of Nations he has not made known at
home or abroad just what he would
demand for such an organization and
has been somewhat eclipsed by two
French statesmen who have submitted
q definite plan to Premier Clcmenceau
which he has approved in principle.
The French proposal is:
Compulsory arbitration without limi.
tation, limitation of ornaments, the es-
Establishment Of a council of administra-
ton for the formulation of new inter.
national administration and interna-
.tional law procedure and the applica-
ton of sanctions for making the de-
cisions of the society of nations effee.
tive. Sanctions" is q diplomatic
phrase which means various steps for
enforcing compliance and four of them
arc prescribed. First there would be a
severance of diplomatic relations with
any nation violating the regulations;
second, the closing of the courts of all
countries to n rccalcitrant nation; third
economic embargo against an offending
nation; and fourth, employment of the
military force of all nations in the so,
ciety against the offender.
This scheme certainly holds the pri

the difference in conditions between
the two states when making such com

Induce Vermonters to Come Back.
Barre Times.)

One of the greatest services to be
done Vermont in a generation is to di-
rect the current of Vermont youth back
to Vermont during the coming year.
Approximately 10000 young men have
gone out of the state during the past
few years, chiefly 10 enter the service
OF their country but in considerable
measure to work in some business
which was enjoying boom incident to
the war. Already many of the men
have returned to their home towns in
Vermont but many others are wavering
IN the balance whether to pull up stakes
completely and settle in some new loca-
ton. To encourage them to make a de-
ciSion to return to Vermont, as well as
TO encourage other discharged service
men to take up their residence in Yer
mont, would be good work for some
Vermont organization or state depart.
ment to take up. If Vermont is not to
lose out in the readiustment of men
and things after the signing of the trea-
ty of peace, then Vermont must be
awake to the rivalry which is bound
10 arise among the states. Some well
directed publicity propaganda, directed
perhaps by the state publicity depart
ment, could be used as an opening ef
fort toward getting our own men back
TO Vermont. There should be no delay
in this matter.

q No more appropriate memorial than
the living growing tree can be erected
in honor of the American heroes who
gave their lives for freedom s cause, -
says the American forestry association
which stands sponsor for the idea of
trees as memorials and this statement
has been echoed by scores of govern
ors and other state officials throughout
the country. In some cities trees are to
be the only memorials. The state of
Louisiana is planting 40 miles of
them as a tribute to its fighters. In
some communities the municipal Christ
mas tree is to he planted to become a
permanent memorial. When one sees
how the tree which has just been
placed on the plaza beauties that
particularly barren spot, it leads one
to wonder if the idea of memorial trees
of some kind would not be well worth
considering in Brattleboro.
