Opponents Will Not DareI

The Belfast Republican Journal,
now ably edited by Hon. Arthur L
Brown. in commenting on the peace
treaty says:
- 1.-The text 10 divided into,
z40 Articles and about ITS Annexes
which appear to have been added
with the hope that they will in some
degree explain what is meant in the
Articles to which they ane attached.
The most gifted and logical minds
will disagree a. to the meaning and
effect Of the document, but to the
most Of US it will continue to be but
a cumulus Of language as dense az a
Bay Of Fundy fog. Months were
spent in its preparation and months
will be spent in its discussion, but
some time the United States must
make 4 decision, must ratify or re-
fuse to ratify. The writer believes
that the Senate will ratify. If it re-
fuses to do 20 the whole procedure
will revert to the status of the open
ing session of the Peace Congress.
We shall be called upon to make
peace with Germany separately, and
the Allies will have to do the same.
We think when the day for decision
arrives. those who are opposed to the
League Of Nations Peace Treaty

the responsibility of this alternative"

Dump the offscum

The deportation Of undesirable
aliens is wholesome practice that
should become popular and deter
minedly efficient. If these people are
not satisfied with our manners and
customs, with our laws and our
ways Of doing business. let them re-
turn whence they came-and good
radiance! The offscourings Of Europe
have been dumped upon US and toll
Grated by US far too long.
The group Of eleven philosophical
anarchists ordered deported at Bos-
ton are on their way. They were
fair specimens of the haters of law
and order and champions of person
al liberty" to infiict the idiocies Of
their depraved brains upon decency,
that come to US when their native
lands become too hot for them.
Send them back, every last one Of
them, and mail" them at the first
peep of their mouthings Of reform"
We are not to be reformed by aliens.
nor by the scum that comes to US
for no other purpose than to spread
ing Of their mental disorders. Out
with them!

ARTICLE WI. Continued
Reciprocal Concessions


Under Article VIII we covenant to
keep within the limits we agree to
for ten years. when the whole plan II
subject to Observation-Disclosures,
should conditions change, the Coun-
Gil has power to increase tho limit
for any government needing it. More
than this, we can at any time with
draw from all the obligations Of the
League, including this one, on two
years notice.
It is to be noted that we agree to
limit our armament in consideration
Of the fact that every other League
member makes a similar promise -
to its armament. Our reduction and
limit are to be proportionate to those
Of other members. Their reduction
lessons the necessity for our defense
as does the compulsory reduction of
the ornaments Of our enemies in this
war. We are not thus left naked to
our enemies" whether Of this war
or any future war. In any other way
than that they are equally naked"
to US.
Plea for Consistency
mament to avoid danger Of war has
long been recognized and acquiesced
in by all nations except Germany.
We were among the most earnest in
seeking limit or reduction of ar
mament at the Hague Conferences
but Germany peremptorily refused.
Are we now to change our attitude
on this crucial question? Did we
think that in urging it at the Hague
we were to make ourselves naked
to our enemies" by entering such an
agreement? Were we only hypo-
critics when We pressed it upon the
conferees at the Hague?
If the great continental powers Of
Europe and Asia, where the danger Of
war is much more probable than
here. can afford to limit their arma-
ments by convention. can we not do
so. when the Atlantic separates us
from Europe, and the Pacific from
Asia?
More than this, is there not hu-
morous phase Of this objection when
we consider the consistent course Of
this country since the beginning Of
it's history? In spite Of the urging
of Washington and many Of his sue
cessors, we never have had an ade.
quate armament until after war has
come. Not even for mere police duty
have we had sufficient regular
army in time Of peace. From soon
after the Civil War until the Spanish
War. a period Of thirty years, with
Indian campaigns frequently recur-

The Aroostook Federation Of Farm
ers, at an important meeting Of the
directors In Caribou, last week,
adopted resolutions favoring the es-
adjustment Of packing. storage and
rendering plants for the preserva-
ton Of production of pork, beef. eggs
and other farm products SO a. to
conserve waste materials for tank
age and save the freight both ways.
AZ conditions are now all excess
products are shipped out Of the coun-
ty, and when local consumption
runs above the local supply the same
kind Of products are shipped in. thus
creating an economic waste. The
federation urges it, locals to use
their efforts to correct this condition
and pledges its support in every way
possible to accomplish the purpose.
The tariff committee reported by it,
secretary. Joseph e. Hall. that good
progress was being made in the col.
lection Of data to be used in Wash
ington when the Congress- gets to
work on the new tariff bill, and it 10
proposed to send q representative to
Washington at tho proper time to
see that Aroostook county IL fairly
considered in the formation Of the
new schedules.
The locals Of the federation are
making of the organization a worth
while proposition. They are now
purchasing poison and vitriol. The
Caribou local purchased q carload OF
blue vitriol, large crystals. 90 per
cent pure. at $40 per hundred de-
Iivered. The same local Is buying
sodium arsenate, ~ p. c. metallic ar
senic. at IA cents per ID. in 1o0-lb.
barrel lots, or 1Sc lb. in 3-lb. cans.
Since the Caribou local started bust.
ness in April 1t has done more than
$4,000 business. saving its members
more than $4,000 from dealers
prices.

State organised in the next twelve
months. Organization. cooperation.

eentered In agriculture.

ring, for q people Increasing rom
fifty to ninety millions, we had only
$4,000 men in our regular army-and
since the Spanish War, we have
never been able to increase that
army beyond one hundred thousand;
while in all the details OF proper
preparatory equipment We were
wanting.
We can be sure, therefore, that the
Council will recommend limit OF
armament for US that Congress will
never desire to exceed and will prob
ably fall short Of in actual practice.
We should be justified in far more
concern if the League imposed on us
specific obligation as to a minimum
armament.
Not Unconstitutional
But it is said that 1t is unconstitu-
tional for our treaty making power to
agree to a limit Of armament. The
Supreme Court in many cases has
decided that the treaty-making pow
er conferred in the constitution Is a
very broad one, and that 1t includes
the making Of contracts with other
nations on any subject matter usual
~ within the scope of treaty-making
between nations, and that there are
no limitations on it except that
treaty can not change our form OF
government or cede land OF one OF
our States without it's consent. Now
the limitation of armament has been
very frequent subject matter dealt
with in treaties. Indeed. every one
recognizes that it is a most appro-
pirate subject in this very treaty OF
which the League is part in respect
to the fixing Of the armament Oh
Germany. More than this. we have
a treaty with Great Britain for one
hundred years in which we agreed to
limit our armament, and we have
religiously kept tin 1917. we mu-
tually agreed with Great Britain not
to put a naval armament on the
and that treaty is still in force. It
would be difficult to imagine more
convincing precedent than this. In
the Clayton Bulwer treaty Of 1880,
concerning the construction Of a
canal in Central America from one
ocean to the other. we mutually
stipulated not to fortify the canal
when built. Our power to limit ar
mament in a treaty is thus indisput-
able in view Of precedent and judi
cial authority. Our duty by joining
with the family Of civilized nations
in such an agreement. to put a stop
to the awful race in armaments. If
unrestrained. sure to involve the
world again in all it's evils, is equally
clear.
