DURING SPEECH AT
COMMERCIAL CLUB

great power of the league is vested
in the executive council. That coun-
Gil comprises nine members, but
FIVE of these members are permanent
members. The other four are Sc
lected by the main body OF dele
gates. The five permanent MEM
bers are the United States, Great
Britain, Italy and Japan. The bind
ing force of any accommodation
made by this council comes in the
fact that the vote must be unani-
nous"
One Vote for Britain.
He then answered the criticism
that Great Britain has a greater
voting power than the United States
in the covenant through the fact
that her self-governing dependen-
cies. such as Canada. New Zea-
land, Australia and South Africa,
are entitled to a vote. The Senator
in the main body of delegates and
was represented in the executive
council by the one vote of Great
Britain.
Touching upon the mandatory pow
ers OF the league and its recon-
mendations affecting smaller nations
placed under the protection and guild
ance OF the greater powers in the
covenant, Senator Hitchcock declared
that Congress alone would have the
power to determine whether or not
the United States should exercise the
duties of a ward over Manchuria,
Turkey or any other nation.
He said that he had discussed that
point with President Wilson and the
latter had stated the only probable
ward for the United States might be
hanchuria and that possibly through
the sympathy OF the Christian
churches for the atrocities and hard
ships which Christians had suffered
in that country.
IF this league sacrificed the Mon
roe doctrine, ia not be for II: but II
doesn't" was his statement upon
that objection. Whereas the Mon
roe doctrine was designed to protect
the peoples of the Western hemis-
phere in aggressions from the East
this league is a protection against for
eign aggression in any part of the
civilized world"
Bolshevism Has its Excuses.

social disturbances are not without
their excuse" he stated. When
great taxes are levied and burdens
placed upon the people. not to pro-
mote their welfare and happiness,
but to provide the great armaments.
the instruments OF war to spread au-
tocracy and bring about the suffer
ing ruin OF another people, the rev7il-
sion is but natural.
This Is the first time in the his
tory OF the world that an attempt
has been made to forever end war.
1t is the first time that that was pos
sible. I do not think that the league
was possible before this war occur
red Unless we accept this device
to insure the peace of the world we
may expect to begin at once our
military and naval preparations for
the next war and the burdens will
fall upon the business man for the

The German armistice commission

land at Stettin, Libau or Koenigs-
