Against Resort to Force
THE representation of the different
nations in the organizations Of the
League should be in proportion to the
responsibilities and obligations they
assume. The rules of international
law should not be defeated for lack OF
unanimity.
"A resort to force by any nation
should be prevented by solemn agree
ment that any aggression will be met
Immediately by such an overwhelming
economic and military force that Il
will not be attempted.
mo member of the league should
make any other offensive or defensive
treaty or alliance, and all treaties oi
whatever nature made by any member
Of the league should at once be made
public.
"Such league must be formed al
the time of the defnitive peace, or the
opportunity may be lost forever"

to reply to it now:
"'Yes, Bissing treated me as a pris-

Concerning the governors of Belgium
during the war, Cardinal Mercier said
that Falkenhausen was more cruel and
inhuman than Bissing, and more per-
fdious, insidious and dangerous.
"There was not much to choose be-
tween them, however" he said.
Referring to his quite recent birth

appearance and health. The Cardinal
replied: at is true that l am sixty
