COCHRAN AND CUTLER OPEN EXHIBITION SERIES TONGH
.OPORTORIALC v BY A M V@'s2 ROGER TERRI

IIT ITH THE adoption of boxing as w the official national sport of the United States and the organization of an Army, Navy and Civilian Boxing Control Board, headed by Gen. Leon $ru Wood, the sport enters upon a brighter era The Government put boxing to a test and has found il worth while. -
 Nine out of every ten who have been in the service, have returned or will return as new boxing enthusiasts. These have been taught that the game is harmless when properly supervised-and 1t is the purpose of the newly created Board to have box ing properly supervised in this coun- try.
 Practically every State in the Union has in the files of Its Iegisla- ture bill providing for State super vision of boxing. Connecticut has one. And 1t Is with much satisfac- ton and pleasure that the writer au- nounces that information has been given out from reliable source in Hartford that the pending bill will be passed
 And why shouldn't 1t be passed The only opposition came from a group of ministers. In opposing the bill they were within their rights as American citizens II is always well to hear two sides of story. But to the unprejudiced spectator-the one who would rather see boxing not conduct ed at all if it can not be staged properly and in a geutlernauly man ner-the argument of the ministers was ancient and weak. Tn fact they had no really sound argument against the bill.

Interpretation of Article 10.

The Interpretation of article 10 of the
league covenant, which the president in
serted in his message to the senate on
the French treaty, was offered deliber-
ately of course. although il was ineiden-
tai to the general explanation Of the
alliance with France. In the presidents
words:
"The covenant of the league of ma
tions provides for military action for
the protection of its members only up
on advice of the council Of the league
advice given, it is to be presumed,
only upon deliberation and acted upon
by each member of the governments of
the member states only il its own iudg
ment justifies such action"
This Interpretation, which is clearly
consistent with the use of the word "ad
vice" in article 10, safeguards the con
stitutional power of congress to declare
war. Curiously, there are senators OPP
posed TO the league, and who see great
crime against our liberties in article 10,
who are reported to be in favor of the
special treaty with France. Yet the
French treaty would bind the country
far beyond the obligations of article 10.
Article 10 would give the whole congress
a chance to deliberate and act on ques.
ton Of the use of our forces abroad. BY
this French treaty the president and the
present senate would obligate us to
fight for France, and how much would
any future congress have TO say about
| it Springfield Republican.
