THERE CAN BE NO sUPERGovERNMENT

Senator Borah says the real question TO De
debated is whether the senate shall commit
the government of the United States to super
government This cannot be true state
,nent of the senate s attitude. The senate may
debate the question whether the peace treaty
with its league Of nations enactment does com
nit this government to allegiance to a supergov-
eminent. But it cannot debate the question OF
making such commitment. The best interna-
tional LAWYERS we have are unit in opinion
about this; Mr.. Taft says the league plan does
not constitute a superstate; that if it did, it
would be unconstitutional. DR.. David Jayne
Hill. who is a recognized world authority on in
ternational and constitutional law, says: IF
a supergovernment is about to be created, to
which the United States is asked to make itself
subject, it is clear that the constitution forbids
the president AMI senate to make a treaty in
volving such subsection. They do not possess
the power to enter into any such agreement
It is evident that the function Of the senate
ends if it be the consensus Of that body that the
peace treaty commits this nation to unconstitu-
tional allegiance and agreement; it cannot de-
bate whether such allegiance be pledged or
agreement be made: it has no powers to act in
constitutional innovations Senator Borah
should amend his statement; what is debatable
is the question of the treaty constituting a

HOW WE AIDED BoLSHEvIsM.

1t is common knowledge that Lenine, the Ger
man anarchist, was provided with money by the
imperial government and rushed across Ger
many by special train on his mission to democrat
ize Russia, in which he succeeded so well. 1t
has not been so generally known, however, how
responsible our government is that Irotsky is
there Rev DR. Newton Dwight Hills, OF
Brooklyn, states that when Trotsky decided to
go to Russia German and Russian anarchists
and American |. w. w. members arranged
farewell meeting for him March twenty sixth,
1917, in a German hall in the borough OF the
Bronx, New York City. Trotsky announced his
early contemplated departure, and sald -

organizing in this country, in order that you
may be able to overthrow this dirty, rotten
government of the United States. | am going
back to Russia to overthrow the government
there and stop this war with Germany
A report of this speech and charge OF trea-
son against the man who made it were hurried
Ito Washington. The government knew what he
lsaid, knew what his sentiments were and that
his mission to Russia was to overthrow the
Kerensky government and raise the red flag.
Great Britain and Frence protested against
permitting his departure; nevertheless IN the
following week passports for Trotsky and thirty
of his followers were issued at Washington and
they sailed for Russia. They had to go by way
of Halifax and there the British halted them;
but on insistence from Washington finally per
united them to go on.
DIR. Hills charges that government In
this matter acted on the advice of one Ameri-
can who had the ear of the administration. Dr.
Hills does not name this man, but it isagener-
ally understood to have been Lincoln Steffens
recently appointed by the president to confer
with the bolsheviki chiefs on behalf Of the
American government.
Why are men of the Steffens and Heron
type persona grata with the administration?

fary to common belief this ancient
practice still obtains in among numer-
Gus South Pacific tribes. OF these the
Malekula Islanders are the most
treacherous, savage and murderous.
Ethnologists found that the peculiar

island were the results of tribal Gus
