The council, the chief governing
body of the League, cannot take
action without unanimous decision of
its members and since the United
States will have a representative in
the Council our interest will be pro-
tected there. We hear it said that the
League is formed for the benefit of
Great Britain or Japan or some other
n nation. This is not true. All the
nations will gain by it, not only the
great nations such as the United
States, Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy, but the little nations which
in the past have been oppressed by
their big n%eighbors. The international
court will give an opportunity for the
settlement of old grievances which
have long troubled the peoples of the
world.
1t has been said that the League
will interfere with the Monroe Doc
trine, but the League Covenant ex-
pressly protects this Doctrine. In fact,
through the Covenant the Monroe Doc
trine receives recognition throughout
the world and its principles become
forever established.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-08-29

The plan for a League of Ma
tons is based on a few simple
principles, which are not hard
to understand when lifted out
of the morass Of technical discus
sion and freed from legal and
diplomatic language. AS the
one authority best able to pre-
sent these points without par
tisan bias, ex-President Taft
has been asked to put the
league idea into a few plain
words for the benefit of millions
of Americans who desire a bet
ter understanding of the plan
but find themselves confused by
the debate in the United States
Senate. In response to this le-
quest he has written the follow
ing article.
