Senator Townsend of Michigan, re-

war. For instance, suppose Japan

land in South or Central America and
this country should protest 1t would
go to the league council. Should the
council decide in favor of Japan, then
the United States would either have to
stand by the verdict and abandon the
Monroe doctrine or break with the

would be bound to support Japan with
money and economic pressure against
the United States, if not with armed
forces"

PRESIDENT ASKS
CONGRESS TO DELAY

Continued from First Page.

1t will be contended that the Monroe
doctrine will become dead letter if
the league plan goes through and the
United States becomes a party to it.

the floor of the Senate during the day
by Senator Williams of Mississippi,
democrat. who said while it had been
criticised as visionary, it appeared the
most practical thing to meet the sftua-
ton
My only quarrel with the proposed
plan is that it does not go far enough, y

Declaring that some sacrifices must
be made. he questioned the propriety of
aiming general criticism at the Presi-

ton to the Presidents plans had de-
veloped chiefly, he said, from the radi-
cal element, women whom he called
bonfire burners and "a few senators
and congressman"

France, told the Senate military COM
mittee yesterday that many returning
American soldiers were dying of dis
ease at the embarkation camp at
Rrest, France, after coming from the
front line in good physical condition.
I could forgive a heavy death rate
and insanitary conditions when we
were sending troops to France and
when the Germans were breaking
through the allied lines" he said. but
when the war is over these conditions

Scores of American tourists have

Declared Unconstitutional.

Declaring unconstitutional article Is
for supervision of nations munitions

, Furthermore, it IL abhorrent to the
self respect of the United States and
surrender of our sovereignty. 1t

states has reached such a condition

assume such duties and it is even
doubtful whether there is any ex-
tensive desire anywhere in the world
that We should so impose ourselves

hict with the century-old policies in

other statesmen"

Regarded as an Experiment.

Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
democrat: The proposed league of
nations is in the nature of an expert
ment. 1t is natural that existing ma
lions should approach the subject
with caution. Nevertheless its pur-
poses are so far reaching in import
ance that surely none in sympathy
with them will resist the momentum
of the influences now seeking to es-
tabfish a league of nations. The avoid
ance of future wars like that from
which humanity has just emerged is
an end to be desired by all.

not to be expected, that a completely

Comment by other senators was as

Attacked by Mr.. Poindexter.

Vigorous attack upon four articles of
the leagues constitution-those provid-
ing for disarmament, arbitration, super
vision of the munitions trade and for
manufactures of foreign countrieS-was
made by Senator Poindexter of Wash
inston, republican, in a statement last
night He declared the disarmament
and munitions trade paragraphs were
unconstitutional, the arbitration pro-
vision ''unconscionable" and the clause
for manufactures and others abhorrent.
Regarding the eighth article of the
constitution on disarmament Senator
PolndeXter said.
This provision transfers to the
league the sovereignty prerogatives
of fixing the relative and absolute size
of the armies and navies of the sew
eral countries. The provision is I'M
constitutional and an impairment of
the sovereignty and independence of
this country. There is no power in
the President, nor in the Senate nor
in Congress itself nor in all combined,
to transfer in this way the sovereign
power of the nation"

scarcely a week passes that he is:

he was indebted in one instance to-
Manager Payne of Hotel Puntas
Gorda and in the other instance
to DR.. Mcqueen.
Then that expert gardener, A.
Rickenbach, presented him with
mess of fine carrots, which was
supplemented Friday by the gift
of a big mess of Hodson wax
beans from Chas. G. Cochran and
j. D. Frierson. These two gentle
men have two acres each In beans
and peppers in the southern part
of town; and, as these products
are bringing fancy prices, their
gift was valuable as well as palat-
able. Indeed, we never saw or
tasted finer beans.
Besides the above, that faithful
colored friend, Sam Kennedy, con
tributed to the EDITORS table a
dozen of the finest grapefruit ever
produced in DeSoto county.
All these good friends are as
sured that their kindness is deeply
appreciated by all of the scribe's
family, for nothing is more pleas

add to your enjoyment of life.
When a man has such friends,
life surely is worth living.

Paraphernalia for the first fish

state officials in Florida, has been
delivered at Hunters sawmill,
near Sanford, reports Charles N.

sioner, who returned yesterday.
The location is on St. John s river
in Seminole county. The fish
hatchery will be for the propaga-
ton of shad, and the first Matching
will be done the latter part of
February.
While up on the st. Johns riv-

restocking the st. Johns with
shad and who will give his assist
ance and support in a revision of

COUNTY GUARD OFFICERS
Meet in Arcadia and Discuss the
Situation

The officers of the home guards
of the county met in Arcadia on
Wednesday night of last week
and enjoyed banquet at one of
the leading hotels. Maj. Thos.
Gaskins, jr., acted as POSTMASTER
and called out a number of gen.
tlemen who made interesting
speeches.
The Arcadia News, reporting
the meeting, says: 1t was the un-
animous opinion of the gentlemen
present that, because of labor con-
ditions over the country, it is more
necessary now that the guards be
thoroughly equipped and prepar-
ed for service than at any time
since the beginning of the organi-
cation.
Although no trouble is antici-
pated in this immediate section, it
is not impossible that there may
be trouble in the central part of
the state, and if so, the presence
Of the guards would be badly
needed.
A committee was appointed,
consisting of Capt. F. Nv. Hayes,
of Co. c, Arcadia; Capt. W. d.
McInnis, of Co. B. Wauchula, and
Capt. r. C. Blount Of Co. D, Pun
ia Gorda, to appear before the
county commissioners at their
meeting in February, explaining
the situation and requesting the
commissioners to thoroughly e.
quip the guards.
1t is contended that this should
be done, as there is absolute nee
essity, such as has not existed be-
fore, for the maintenance of the
military organizations in the coun-
| ty, and it is urged that the COM
missioners make provision for the
equipment of the guards.
The approximate cost of such
equipment will be in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000. The captain OF
each of the companies is to pre-.
pare a budget to present to the
commissioners, showing the needs
of his company.
Among the visitors at the ban
quet outside of the city were Capt
R. G. Blount and Lieut.. N. G.
Hewitt, Punta Gorda; Capt. W. D.
McInnis and Lieut.. w. A. Cor.
bett, Wauchula; Lieuts. w. j
