enormously magnify the sacrifices of
the United States in going into this
league as though the United States
was giving up everything and getting
nothing from its benefits.
IF we fail to adopt an intcrnatiOn-
alism Of governments that will unite
10 end wars. We shall be face to face
with the internationalism of the in
dividual. We cannot ignore the fact
that the Russian millions are now
thoroughly committed to a cOmmu-
nisiC form Of government.
We cannot deny the fact that
France and Italy. the ono a republic
the other a limited monarchy. arc un-
der control Of sOciaIiStic ideas. We
cannot ignore the fact that Germany
Is being rapidly and radically reor-
Canized into sociaIistic nation of

with the ErowIs of socialism IN Great
Britain and acccptation of socialistic
plans by the government of Great
Britain.
IF war. and the preparations of

ness Of national governments, We
may expect a development of social
ism and Bolshevism in the United
States. Nor will it be confined to
Orations on soap boxes in the public
streets OF our great cities, but it will
appear here in Congress. 1t will af-
feet legislation in this country as it

In taking up the draft of the consti-
tuition Hitchcock emphasized the fact
that it must still be passed on by
the Peace Conference, and is still
subject to amendment by that boody.
The purpose of the league of ma
tions is to maintain international
peace. To this end. Its members
agree that they will in no case resort
to war with each other without prev
iOusly submitting the dispute to ar
bitratiOn by arbitrators mutually
agreed upon, or to an inquiry by the
executive council OF nine nations and
not even then for three months af-
ter the award by the arbitrators or
a recommendation by the executive
council. That agreement BY itself
insures a cOOling-Off time of more
than nine months, probably, in fact,
a year, which is of itself a. tremend
Gus safeguard for peace and big
obstacle to war.
Let u spw consider some Of thu

opposition that we have heard upon
floor of the Senate to the league of
nations. We have been told that the
control of the league would be in the
hands Of European monarchs and
Asiatic despOts; that it might be con
trOlIed by the British Empire;
that if the British Empire should
lose control the BOlshevih might
gain control. In fact every possible
suggestion OF control seems to have
been made except that it might be
controlled by the great self-EovcrninE
dcmOcracicS of the world that Cs-
tablished it.
Il have already indicated that the
affairs Of the league are to be admin
iS,"red by an executive council OF
nine nations: that of these nine IA
tiOns FIVE are permanent members. No
one of them is controlled by a mon
arch or despot. France is a self
governing republic like the United
States. Great Britain, while nominally
a monarchy, is in fact a great demOc-
TaCy. whose government is at least as
completely in the hands of the pcopic
as the government Of tho United
States. Its King exercises no more
political power than the painted king
in "A deck of cards and the same fs
true of Italy and the King of Italy.
The President OF tho United states has
hundred times more political power
than the King of any country that

Then VIC have been told We would

might be used against us. whereas the
only provision in the league by which
military and naval forces are raised

members OF the league shall contribute
