Moricz conceived the idea of organ.
izing a colony in Montrose county
and after persuading a number of his
countrymen to locate there. his land
was taken in under foreclosure pro
ceedings and the Hungarians were nat
urally peeved. He claims that he was
unjustly abused and that this abuse
was due to the action taken by tbs
banks in foreclosing him.
He has notified parties here thai

DR.. HILL cRiTicisEs THE
LEAGUE CONSTITUTION

WashingtOn.-The constitution of
the League of Nations is the work of
politicians. not jurists. and it creates
an organ of power, not an institution
of justice. DR.. David Jane Hill. former
ambassador to Germany, declared here
in an address given under the auspic
es of George Washington University.
DIR. Hill asserted that the league COW
enant created either a super-govern-
ment with imperial power or mis-
! chief making advisory body with M
real means to enforce it's decrees
Between free self-goyerning ma
tiOns ON the one hand and super-gov
ernment on the other" DR.. Hill said
there is no intermediate condition II
is choice between free and not free
The league proposes to bind its
members to united action. and 1t is in
the next breath pretended that there
is nothing binding about it. The choice
must be made and it is important that
1t should be clearly understood. Does
the league invite, or does 1t con
mand? If it only invites 1T is not :
league. If it commands it is super
government.
III it is not super-government, Il
the executive council cannot bring al
army into the field to enforce its de
cicion. the provisions of this cOnstitu
tion create enormous risks and pos
tive dangers. Although 1t is one o
the alleged objects of this league t.
prevent war. war is not only distinct
ly provided for, but the occasions
when 1t must occur are plainly indicat
ed and are even rendered necessary

STATE BANK OF AUSTIN
A POSITION INDICATED

When the American delegation to
the Paris conference was being made
up, the position was generally taken
by the republican senators that the
first business was signing of the peace
treaty.
What was needed was peace at the
earliest moment. The warning peoples
needed to get to work once more, for
get their troubles, and begin recon
struction. This accomplished, the
matter Of a peace league could be
taken up in a less hasty manner.
When you have a fire burning up
the center of the town, it is poor pol
icy to attempt to reorganize the fire
company while the flames still threat
en- to sweep the entire community off
the map. Better put out the fire. and
then reorganize when there is time for
deliberation.
Mr. Wilson insisted upon another
policy 1t seemed to him that the
peace league and the peace treaty
must go together. He and his friends
argued that il the world does not
form a peace league now. it never
would
That was one of those theorists ar
guments that will not appeal to COM
mon sense people. The argument for
a peace league will be just as strong
next year as it is this year 1t is not
the kind Of thing to be built on a sud-
den impulse. As Senator Lodge said
in the Boston debate. it is not thing
to be jammed through as a rider on
the peace treaty. something that could
not stand on it's own merits. The
league Of nations project needs very
considerable deliberation
AS result of the Wilson theorizing
the situation in Europe has steadily
grown worse. Bolshevikism, left un.
curbed while the statesmen argued
out a new scheme of government
threatens TO spread I'll over Europe.
A practical vision would have signed
peace quickly, got the warning powers
to work. and then would have gone on
to debate a permanent peace league

Tn. Opposition to Daylight Saving

The daylight saving idea has been
popular with almost all classes of peO-
pie. except the farmers The people
who have enjoyed it have not been
merely the golf players and other
sports. as some opponents of the plan
have suggested The plan was of a
great benefit to millions of working
men, who found it far more conven-
lent to cultivate gardens.
The milkman leaving his bottles be-
fore breakfast on back door steps
along his route is no lover of daylight
saving. Dairymen claim this early de-
livery makes 1t harder to get help and
