Piles of the world. Thirty-two ma
lions formally admitting the stup-
idity of war, solemnly pledging
themselves to end competition lin
armies and navies, sacredly agree
ing to open treaties and binding
themselves to submit the causes of
war to investigation and adjust
ment before drawing the sword!
What is the machinery devised
to carry these proposals into effect?
The Assembly of the Nations is
made up of three representatives of
each Power, each nation, however,
having only one vote. Above the
assembly is a council of nine in
which America, England, France,
Italy and Japan are permanently
represented, the assembly electing
the other four members.
Aside from matters of routine
procedure, decisive action by the
council requires unanimous vote.
This provision is the answer to
prejudices by declaring that 'the
those critics who appeal to base
black races" will control. Neither
America nor any other nation can
be overridden by majority.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
HOPE OF THE WORLD
Ratification
Ger

tutios of the League of Nations in
the form now proposed should not
be accepted by the United States"
Not then, nor since, did any of
them suggest a change or submit
an amendment. Senator Lodge
and Senator Knox, asked to put
their objections in definite CORN,
refused fatty. Senator Brandegee
screamed that President Wilson
was preparing to infiict "shame and
disgrace" upon the United States,
but steadfastly declined to discuss
the covenant in definite terms.
Not one Senator, not one paper,
opened to the League of Nations,
has put forward single construc-
tive suggestion, combining them
selves to blanket denunciation of
President Wilson, his policies and
his methods. Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Root, championing the league, both
contributed amendments that were
given instant heed, but the sena-
torial leaders of their party have
had nothing to offer but a doctrine
of despair.
"A world is trying to remake itself;
shattered nations grope in agony
for the light; crushed peoples are
searching for firm ground on which
to rebuild their lives, and stricken
humanity begs for some protection
against the horrors of war, but the
great majority of the Senate of the
United States can think only in
terms of 1920 and can see in the
League of Nations only the credit
that will accrue a democratic Presi

ishes a deal of bitter amusement,
for every attack made upon the
League of Nations to-day had it's
parallel in the attacks made upon
the Constitution of the United
States when it was up for adop-
ton. Read the politicians of that
day and it is as though Lodge and
Borah and Sherman were speak

top vague" it destroyed the "sov-
ereignty of the individual States"

There is no danger in prophecy
when one deals with certainties
The League of Nations, as conceiv-
ed, prepared and Endorsed by the
Paris conference, will be ratified
by the Senate surely and overwhel-
mingly. When the vote is taken it
is doubtful if the opposition will
muster more than corporaps
guard of provincial statemen.
The people of the listed States
are not the fools that politicians
imagine. "Ghost dancing" such
as has been INDUCED in by the
Lodges, the Borahs, the Shermans
and the Reeds, may interest and
divert, but the average American
is not vet ready to accept this Sioux
excitement as argument. From
first to last, the attack on the Lea
que Of Nations has been lacking in
intelligence even as it has lacked
lacked in honesty and fairness.
What was the appeal that went
straightest to the heart of Ameri-
ca, making strongest for unity, ser
vice and acrifice? 1t was the della
ration of Woodrow Wilson that We
were fighting a war against war"
that our purpose was less the re-
dress of wrongs than the solemn
and fixed determination to lift the
black shadow of militarism from
the face of the world. His pro-
posal of a League Of Nations, sub
stituting conference and counsel
for force and bloodshed, went home
to the. mind of the simplest, for its
great virtue was it's very simplicity.
Statesmen could not grasp it, or
else rejected it as naive, because
their trade had led them away
from straight thinking. To the
average American, however, there
was nothing visionary" about it,
sothing at all impossible. At every
turs in our national life the princi-
pie of the League of Nations is
seen at work The thirteen colo

agreed to confederate, and the
sovereign States Endorsed the pro-
position. and gave it permasense,
when they ratived the Constitu-
ton of the listed States. w.
If Commoswealths. born in pride
and jealousies, could evolve a ma
chinery able to adjust bitter differ
ences without resort to force, the
American mind saw no reason why
civilized nations may not agree to
meet through their representatives
in common counsel to consult for
the common good. Especially when
1t is seen to-day, as never before,
that the old way leads inevitably
to war. The millions who have
died since 1914, in battle or by
starvation-the millions who are
now taking up the burden of ,liv-
ing in blindness, grief or desperate
poverties-cry command that the
new way shall be attempted at
least. for even II it is blunder, it
is blunder forward.
