The Prevention of War

The essential purpose of the League of Nations
this alone which inspired and impelled the creation
of the The organization is expected to be
convenient and effective vehicle for the promotion
of the general welfare of the world in many other
in the inauguration of the league. Mankind has
just experienced the greatest, costllest and most
destructive war in Its history. 1t wants no more of
it if it is possible to prevent it without loss of honor
or sacrifice of essential principles of right justice
The fundamental question as to the League of Ma
tions, then. is this: Will it serve the purpose for
which it is created?
The representatives of thrty-two nations we're
80 impressed with the belief that it would that thew
determined that it should be tried No one claims
that the plan they have devised perfect but it was
essential and it would always be essential that the
foundation be laid upon unanimous agreement, and
the covenant therefore, of necessity represents
promises of opinion in order reach such an agree
ment But with due allowance for all that, the del
eeates of these nations expressed by their unani-
vote in it's favor the conviction that it consti-
tued the best obtanable instrument for the achieve
ment of permanent peace. That, to be sure, is but
their opinion but. admitting that we start out with
the indisputabe fact that their aim in the creation
of this covenant is the prevention of war; Now this
problem of how to prevent war is not new one 1t
has been studied by wise for ages, and there is

no negative to the opinion that it can only be ac-
compshed by general cooperation of the nations,
based upon the principle that all disputes between
nations may be peaceably and justly settled it the
will SO to settle them and the machinery for such
settlement, exists Grous the father of information
al law, said. three centuries ago: There are two
ways of ending a dspute-discusson and force; the
latter is simply that of brute beasts the for
is proper beings gifted with reason; it is per-
mtted them TO to violence only when reason is
powerless" 1t has been proven over and over again
that disputes between nations can be. peaceably re-
moved by resort to reason, and the tendency for the
last century has been and more toward the. ap-
plication of reason to all such controversies But
experience has shown that often comes too late
if the passion have been aroused before it is called
into service 1t is therefore necessary that there be
some permanent mutual understanding between ma
tions to the disposition and adjudication OF dis
putes, in order that they may be calmly and i'm
partially considered when they arise. The United
States has long led the way in the making of arbtra
ton treaty for this purpose, but these have necessar-
lily been individual treaties and limited in their ap
pcation. 1t was long ago realized that TO be gen.
orally effective the principles of arbitration or con-
ciliation should be applicable to all disputes and
their submission to adjudication should be compul
sorry. This it was recognized could only be
plshed by general association of nations united
under agreement to submit their cases to proper
tribunals.
The League of Nations is such an association
with such purpose, and the general principles of
it's organization in line with the long teachings
of wisdom and experience Its covenant provides
for the submission of all disputes likely lead to
rupture to arbitration, if they questions of fact,
or to cohcilation if they questions Of principle.
seeks substitute for force, completely
as it may be possible, in the adjustment of all diff
ferences between nations, and thereby to all
of the causes of war. Whatever may be said about
details of the plan these it's essential elements and
it's essential purpose The nations agree, as
preliminary, to respect the territory and the
sovereignty of another. to preserve another
from external aggression, reduce their armament
to the lowest point consistent with national safety,
and then to take all the steps provided to prevent
war. This fundamental fact should not be lost sight
of in the confusion of details. The chief aim vr-
tuay the sole aim. of the League of Nations is to
prevent war, aud it is we'll designed to accomplish
that purpose.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Horse or Truck

Strange it may seem, it costs today more per
ton mile to haul freight over the highway than did
a century ago; and the cost of team and wagon has
risen in the past years than in the previous
ninety years. According to the statistics Of the
Department of Agriculture it cost to haul wheat in
1906 by horse and wagon, nineteen cents per ton
mile while in 1918 it cost thirty cents. In 1918 it
cost by truck but fifteen cents.
This difference in cost between truck and team
is not wholly due to the superior efficiency Of the
motor but in some the fact that the horse
is hauling mostly dirt roads. while the is
hauling chiefly over harder surface highways. To
the actual of haulage also, should be added in
each case just proportion of the cost of the roads
over which the hauling is DONE
The horse and truck to a degree mutually
exclusive. The horses hoof adapted to dirt, not
to brick and concrete The better the road for the
the truck, generally speaking. the harder for the
horses foot. AS motor roads extended outward
from the city, the horse pushed back onto the re-
moter dirt highways. The horse will not disappear
from highway traffic, but he will be kept nearer the
farm and next to the soil, which is his natural hab
tat.
The trailer wagon, new development in truck
ing, promises to make the horse permanent supple
ment to the railway. Already IN many places, the
team is bringing this trailer wagon from the farm
to the motor road where it is hitched the motor
truck and towed to market This method of freight
ing not only keeps the horse off of the horse-kilng
road; but it distributes the weight and jar of the
trucks load and slows it's speed thus making it less
destructive to the roadway which ii travels.
Horses, wagons and harness have each doubled
in cost since the opening of the war; and whereas
before the war five dollars would hire man and
team for day, twice that figure is nearly the
going rate now This rate of wage brings the truck
into easy competition with the horse. and sends
more teams back to the plow. Where dirt and con-
crete road meet the horse and the truck naturally
part company. Each excels in it's own field.
