Is the attempt being made to jan
and "ride" it through as part of the
treaty, without giving the people OPP
portunity to read it and discuss it, be-
cause the President and its advocates
at least many of the latter, know that
when it has been freely and fully
discussed and understood and the
dangers to which it exposes the liber.

jple?" Can we, withsafety to our gov.
eminent and people, agree that oul
government shall take orders in all
international affairs, from an execu.
tive council of nine men, eight OF
whom will be foreigners?
The President himself has sought
to prevent full and free discussions
of this proposed league of nations by
any, expect himself. On the day il
appeared in tn press of the United
States, he telegraphed to the two for
eign relations committees of con
gresS not to discuss or talk about it
until he could explain and interpret
it article by article; he came, he ex
planned, talked, Interpreted and die
not dare ask an endorsement of it
and when certain questions were ask.
dhim by some of the members OF
these committees, his answers, III tn
main were "that it is misunderstood
or at don't mean that" etc. On hi,
recent return trip to Paris, when ir
mid-ocean, he instructed the Amer
can peace delegates in not to discuss
the league of nations before his ar.
rival.
The President seems still to enter
tain the belief that he is infaliabe, az
when he appeared before the senate
and urged passage of the female suf
frage amendment, having stated
things and made predictions, none
of which were substantially verified
he concluded by saying, "And wher
| tell you this, what more do YOU
want?"; so the late detested, despiseC
and dethroned kaiser used to say t,
the German people, believe what
tell you and ask no questions"
So our President says in effect, "
only must discuss and explain thi
league of nations, and you must be
ieve what | tell you"
1t has been stated and never denie
20 far as I have seen, that the NOR
forty different drafts for the leagu
were turned over to very intelligent
well informed clerk in the British fol
eign office, who worked it into tn
form and substance Of that which
now proposed. If this be true, it e>
plains why it is misunderstood" an
why cit don't mean that" and tn
other to our President and his otht
advocates.
JOHN ALLISON,
Nashville, Tenn, March 25, 1871!
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-04-05
To the People of Tennessee:

10 the People OF tennessee:
In the winter of 1917-1918 the con-
gress and people of the United States
and European countries were some
what disquieted and disturbed as to
the full sweep and meaning of what
was termed president Wilson's Four
teen Points" The President, realiz-
ing the necessity of some explanation,
appeared in person before the con-
gress on February 18th, 1918, and
amongst other things, he solemnly de-
clared:
''The United States has no desire
to interfere with European affairs or
to act as arbiter in European terri
torial disputes.
"She would disdain to take advan-
tage of any internal weakness or dis
cord to impose her own will upon
another people.
"She is quite willing to be shown
that the settlements she has suggest
ed are not the most enduring. They
are only her provisional sketch of
principles and of the way in which
they should be applied"
No one know better than the Presi-
dent that in the use of five words in
this announcement he had covered OF
included every possible dispute or
controversy that could arise in Eu-
rope. Those words-"European af-
fairs" or European territorial dis.
putes"-left no matter for America
to NEEDLE with.
Up to this time 1t would seem that
the idea of government for an "As.
ISOLATION of Nations" an! the presi
dency thereof has not caused oul
President to turn his back on the doc
trines, teachings and principles OF
Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, anC
other of the fathers.
Has our President adhered to his
own solemn declaration? A careful
reading and consideration of the pro
posed constitution for the proposed
leadge of nations will answer thi'
question. Will men read this propos
ed constitution carefully for them
selves, and thus inform themselves
or will they allow others to do theil
reading and thinking?
The closing sentence of the "pre
amble" to the proposed constitution
for the proposed league Of nations il
as follows: 1.-THE powers signatory t
this covenant adopt this constitution
of the league of nations"
= 1t will be observed that the docu
ment in question is not treaty,
but constitution" under which i
is proposed to organize government
for an association of nations and yes
in such government certain power
and authority to take action"
Will any of the advocates of tn
proposed constitution point out when
where, and from what source tn
American delegates in attendance Of
the peace conference, or any one o
them, derive power and authority t.
sign or become "signatory" to thi
constitution on behalf of the govern
ment or people of the United State
of America? The constitution of tn
United tSates authorizes and empow
ers the President to negotiate an
sign CREATES" and submit same t
the senate, but does not authorize hir
to Join other nations in formulatin
and signing a Constitution" unde
which any kind of form of govern
ment may be organized; and SO,
our President has given himself, an
the other American delegates t. tn

We have nothing against woman
suffrage. If narrow minded male
hypocrite is permitted to vote, why
not let a brad minded woman vote?
The great trouble with the woman
who wants to vote seems seems to be
that she doesn't seem to have time tc
want to do much else.

tons to join other nations in the for
nation of constitution" to govern
league of nations, he has under
taken to exercise power not confer
red upon the President by the consti-
tuition of the United States of Amer
lea.
If the document be in substance
and form what it calls itself-a "con-
titution" under which to form a gov
eminent for Associated nation"
then it can not be treaty, nor part
of a treaty, in any sense or meaning
of that term, and an attempt to make
it such might and probably would
vitiate the whole treaty. Ought such
chances to be taken at this time?
Does any person, any senator,
know what written or verbal instruc-
tons, if any, the President has given
himself and the other delegates on
this subject? This being the day of
"open diplomacy" the question l ask
may not be characterized as imperti-
nent.
Let me call the publc's attention
to provisions that are contained in
one or another form, in all consti-
buttons, which are not contained in
the proposed constitutions:
THE method or mode whereby
the people lin this case the sig
natory nations) elect, select or
appoint all the executive off
GERS of the proposed govern
ment;
2-Prescribe wherein its body the
tenure of office of all of its of
ficers;
3-The mode or way whereby such
officers may be selected or elect

"A method for ascertaining and
fixing the compensation to be

5-Designate the fund and source
thereof from which such com.

taken;
6-Prescribe the oath which sail be

fected the government was without any
trustworthy force. 1t would have had
the support of a great body of un-
organized citizens, but with the CITY
so nearly equally divided, that would
have meant a free-for-all which both
sides were apparently anxious to
avoid. 1t would have been civil war
between armed mobs
Now, however, the government forces
have been so prepared that there could
be no doubt of their victory. The
strikers, unless stirred beyond reason.
will not dare make trouble, the govern
ment is most DESTROYS of avoiding the
odlum of bloodshed, and the citizens,
for moral effect, want their victory
made clear without the use of force.
There is no show of force in the city
except the special consta bles who have
taken the places of the regular police,
but in barracks and barns are gathered
trucks with mounted machine guns and
considerable reserves of the mounted
police, while citizens army of 5000
or 5000 is drilling daily, and outside
the city are waiting half a dozen air
planes with bombs on the racks. In
addition the returned soldiers, by a
great majority, have declared that they
will come to the aid of the citizens if
needed. They do not want any drilling,
however.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-22

the strikers assumed control over
the police force, the water power
crews were ordered by the strikers
to reduce the pressure to 80 pounds,
"enough for one story houses" and
the strikers undertook to establish
a system for the rationing of bread
and milk to strikers families only.
Finally, certain activities were
resumed with the permission of the
strikers and all such were marked
by big posters, "Permitted-by au-
thority of the Strike Committee"
These last we're the final insult to
the city that brought the citizens
to fever heat.
There is no less resentment against
the statements of strike leaders and of
their paper, which accompanied these
acts. Going back to April %, when the
agitation that preceded the strike was
gathering headway, THE Western Labor
News the local radical labor organ,
published big diagram for a govern
ment organized by trades instead of
by territorial representation. On one
side was this notice:
Workers Awake, Cut out and
hold this plan for "ONE BIG
UNION" Think about it--Talk
about it-Vote for it-Work for it.
And on the other side this:

except that the civil service unions
were called out. 1t was this and the
subsequent actions and boasts of the
strike leaders that solidifed the citi-
zens against them and brought about
the counter revolution. Here are
some of the actions that are pointed
to as proving the Bolshevist character
of the movement:
The strike committee, on the night
before the strike refused a propo-
sal to discuss a settlement on the
basis of the granting of all their de-
mands for collective bargaining
This is taken to show that they were
determined to strike as demon
stration."
The postal employees were called
out, and all mails were thrown off
trains miles from the city-a chal-
lenge to the Dominion government.
The telephone employees were
called out-a challenge to the Man
itoba provincial government.
The fremen, the street cleaners
and garbage men were pulled out,
