they originally insisted as uncompris-
able, to future adjustment by the
league in being. The league can handle
in cooler blood things that might eas-
lily have disrupted the conference. The
great error of the opponents of the
league is that they wanted the confer
ence to do everything all at once; they
wanted everything covered in the con
stitution, leaving nothing to the legis
lature Of the league. The covenant
will operate through its Interpretation
and application by the council. To
reject the league would be simply to
throw the world into chaos.
That the covenant was secretly ne
gotiated is bad That Mr. Wilson has
not achieved an ideal league or a per
feet treaty Of peace is apparent. That
the treaty is withheld from examina-
ton by Parliament, Chamber of Depu-
ties and Congress is suspicious. That
nothing has been done about Russia
is disastrous. The rumored recogni-
ton of Kochak's government is ON
nous of trouble because it is believed
that Kolchak is backed by the reac-
tionary elements in Russia who have
strong leaning towards Germany. 1t
does not appear that Kolchak is to any
extent a representative of the Russian
people. The treatment of China in
the matter of Kiaou-Chiaou and Shan
tung does not assure us that the league
has set its face against the aggressions
upon weaker peoples. Italy's claim for
Fiume still hangs fire. That is not
wholesome. The promise of the presi-
dent TO propose an understanding that
this country will go to the defense of
France in case of attack by Germany
suggests an alliance within the league.
1t cannot be denied that there are
too many things about the league and
treaty upon which the people have
not been informed. All these things
help those who would smash the
league. The president. for all his talk
ing, has not kept us well informed as
to what has been going on. Still, moth
ing has yet developed To justify the
scrapping of those known agreements
that have been reached at Paris. With
out the league there is nothing upon
which the world can lean for peace but
armaments. The league is not per

on her part. Because Germany says
she cannot pay, it is not necessarily
true. We know Germany. The tone
Of her complaints today carries some
thing of the arrogance of her utter
ances in 1914. 1t is not of a quality
TO assure us that she acknowledges
either defeat or wrong -domgs Still
when all this is said the fact remains
that it will be unwise to enforce condi-
tions that will enslave the German
people. That would set a cancer in
the very heart of Europe There can
be no peace such as the world wants
If Germany is to be shut out of the
League of Nations. Let Germany sign
the terms and we will find out whether
;hey are too hard TO be complied with.
IL they are we can soften them. We
shall have to do so in self defence.
The league covenant is under terrf-
ic fire. To my thinking the league
does definitely but one thing; that is
it provides for debate, deliberation and
arbitration before there can be any
resort 10 war. All the remainder OF
the document is with the many re
strictions and qualifications with the
requirements for unanimity precedent
to action. not much more than the eX-
preston of a pious aspiration. That
any of the nations signatory are com
mitted to anything abdicative Of soy
eregnty except agreement TO arbitra-
ton is not demonstrable. OF all the
absurdities urged against the league
the worst is the assertion that the
league may be dominated by the peo-
pie Of the black, yellow and brown
races There is no absolute provision
concerning either peace or war other
than that the Big Five will talk it
over That sonta OF the territorial
re-arrangements under the covenant
hold the promise of many wars is
true; but the great nations of the
league will confine The fire. The league
should be ratified as soon as possible
TO guarantee some immediate stability
in Europe. 1t is the only thing that
can prevent the spread of revolution.
That the great nations of their rep
resentatives feel that the main thing
necessary is to get the league to work

leave certain matters. upon which

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNDER FIRE

(Wilam Marion Reedy in Reedys Mirror, ST. Lous)

With both radicals and reactionarles
denouncing tho League Of Nations
covenant and the peace terms to Ger
many plain folks must incline to be
lieVe that both documents represent
about the best that there was to be
obtained from the clashing interests
at Paris. The show does not come
up TO its advance notices. 1t couldn't
But the thing for US TO consider is
what the results of the conference
would have been if the mark aimed at
had not been set almost impossibly
high. President Wilson comes in for
most blame for the great gulf between
promise and performance; but If he
mad not appealed TO the impossibist
idealism of the world exactly as he
did the results at Versailles would
have been much more disheartening
than they are. The president could
not bring the cynical and wary diplo'
mats to render much more than lip
service to his Utopian proposals And
we must not forget either that it was
not alone the politicians who demand
ed IAN eye for an eye.' The people
in England, France and Italy and in
deed, in this country, TO some extent,
clamored that Germany should pay
all the expenses of the war and that
the victors should get something more
than moral prestige for their sacrifices.
Against the assertion of the policy
that Germany be shackled, Wilson's
counsels of perfection We're of no
avail. The penalties upon Germanay
are severe. Admitting this. we can
not overlook the fact that. to some
peoples thinking the terms are not
severe enough. German opinion on
this subject is not OF overwhelming
weight. They fought an outrageous
war and lost il and they have to pay
a calamitous price. Europe insisted
upon security and how could the Unit
ed States who suffered least in the
war, hold out against it? But it is
not fair to say that the allies have en-
riched themselves territorially in what
they have taken from Germanay. Most
of the territory taken from Germany
is TO be administered mandatorily.
The Saar Valley and the regions ripped
from her on the east represent the
preoaution against future aggressions

PROPAGANDA FOR LEONARD WOOD

DR. CLARENCE TRUE WILSON, general
- secretary of the Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals, operated by
the Methodist Episcopal Church from Wash
ington, D. c., has the nerve to send out clip
sheet for editors in which under his own name
he prints vile and inexcusable attack upon
President Wilson and makes special plea for
the election of Leonard Wood to the presiden-
cy. If YOU don't believe DR.. Clarence True
Wilson has the nerve to ask editors to run
stuff supporting Wood under the guise of pro-
hbtion stuff, read this from the article men
toned:
1--WE have had two Presidents not afraid
of the liquor traffic. One was named
Abraham Lincoln; the other, Theodore
Roosevelt The next one will form the
triumvirate. He has not hestated to say
that men could take military training and
so coordinate foot and hand to brain as to
be fit to fight in four months training at
Camp Funston, because of the dry envlr-
onment of that camp; and that nine-tenths
of vice diseases and military trouble was
eliminated by prohibition.
Anybody who knows the history of recent
events is aware that Gen. Leonard Wood is the
man whom Dr.. Wilson refers to just above.
We take this occasion to warn the editorial
fraternity against lne USE VI tle
sent out by Deets Pickett as editor and usually
written in part by DR.. Wilson. 1t is likely to
be loaded. In the past we have reproduced
some of DR.. Wilson's temperance stuff on this
page. but hereafter we intend to be mighty
careful. The good doctor is putting over the
propaganda.
The article mentioned is, in its very cap
ton, an insult to President Wilson. Read that
caption: Mr. Wilson Special Pleader for the
Outlawed Liquor Traffic" The body of the
article is infamously misleading. Apparently
it is printed chiefly as boost for Leonard
Wood A churchman of high place should not
employ such methods; it doesn't read norI
sound nor look right to us.
We are for prohibition, but we are not for
any method of advancing the cause which mis-
represents a high-minded statesman and pa
triot such as Woodrow Wilson, nor are we for
any publicity that is loaded with propaganda
for any candidate for the presidency or for
any other office.
Dr.. Clarence True Wilson ought to go out
behind his barn and be ashamed of his course
in this instance for about two hours.

out, remembering that even the league
will function under the dread OF that
public or world opinion which is now
so severely critical of it. The trainers
of the league had to leave something
to Providence. The people can reckon
with the league if it really keeps the
word of promise to their ear but breaks
it to their hops. 1t does not realize
al ltheir hopes of it, But it is better
than nothing, better than what we had
before. 1t doesn't satisfy the socialists.

conscious. The world is a comprom-

MEXICO CITY, March 3l-That con-
ccssions have been granted to japanese
corporations to exploit agricultural lands
in Lower California was the statement
made yesterday BY Gen. Amado Aguirre,
under secretary Of development and agri-
culture. :
The affirmation was made, however,
that the concessions We're fully author
lied by the provisions of the Mexican
constitution regarding the area and po-
sition of the territory in relation to the
ocean shore and the frontier line.
There was nothing in the concessions,
/, it was asserted by the under secretary,
that might possibly lead to difficulties as
far as the Monroe doctrine was concerned
The japanese legation here denies il
hrs any official knowlede of the proposed
purchase of Mexican lands.
In the interview Gen. Aguirre is quoted
as follows:
1T is absurd TO give credit to or tax,

there is imminent an international confic

or companies are arranging to aeqpir,
