Such are the thoughts in the minds
OF many French workers these days
The French have always been fond
OF making revolutions. They have
always hattered themselves with being
"the most advanced people on earth "
There are many among US who ask
themselves whether the revolution

planted its red banners. one by one

lin and Vienna, and Budapest
whether this wave may not soon roll

MEXICO NOT NAMED AZ
MEMBER OF LEAGUE

II will be noted that Mexico ~
not here named uS IA member OF
the IcaSue or among tho nations
which have been invited to join.
The omission of Mexico froia
the covenant created II great deal
of interest and speculation In
Washington. 1t was thought tn
explain Mr.. Carranza's recent out.
burst against the Monroe doc
trine. and his declaration that
Mexico had never recognized II
or ever would. MIR. Carranza cyl.
IDENTITY had advance information
of the intention of the allies and
the United States TO omit Mexico
from the covenant. and his with.
drawai OF his Mexican minister
from Paris was probably his pro-
test against the conference de-
cision.
With Mexico outside OF the
league and with the league Civ.
ing specific recognition to the
Monroe doctrine there will be
nothing in the way of the United
States taking such action AS IL
may see fit upon any grants br
Mexico OF territory to citizens OF
foreign nation in infringement OF
the Monroe doctrine.
Under the new covenant it is not
withdraw upon two years notice, but
it is also provided that a state may
dissent from an amendment adoplel
unanimously by the council or af,-
proved by majority of the states
comprising the body of delegates ard
that such dissent means immediate re.
lease from the league. With these
two amendments the claim is MADE
here for The new covenant that no
state need have any fear that mem
befship in the league can deprive II OF
rights with which il is unwilling to
part, except through force.
The authority conferred on both
the assembly and council of the
league is given a much wider scope
under the new covenant They are
now empowered TO deal with any
matter within the sphere of action uf
the league or affecting the peace Of
the world
The view taken here Is that extern
sion OF power will enable the league
to control In the beginning any poli-t-
cal sore which would threaten tic
world health If neglected.
