The Covenant Adobted.

7SHE final adoption of the amended cove
nant of the League of Nations, where
by it becomes an integral part of the
treaty of peace, Is the most notable task
yet brought to completion by the Paris
Conference. The assent of the United
States Senate, and perhaps that also of
similar authority in some other of the Gov
ernments primarily concerned, remains to be
given. 1t is hardly conceivable, however,
that there will be serious hindrances on this
score.
For in its revised form the League cove
nant appears free from every point of OBJ
lection which all save unreasoning critics
protested to find in the first drafting. 1t ex-
plicity recognizes the Monroe Doctrine and
excludes from international jurisdiction mat
tiers of clearly domestic concern. 1t provides
definitely for the withdrawal of a League
member that wishes to withdraw. It specif-
ically asserts the principle that "a mandate
cannot be forced upon Nation unwilling to
accept it," 1t expressly gives one vote to
each member of the League in the Council,
and in this connection Incorporates the pro-
vision as to unanimity of voting on measures
of capital Importance Moreover, 1t cont1n-
ues to omit, as from the outset-and the
omission is in it's way as significant as any Of
the contents-the proposed Japanese amend
ment regarding racial equality. Thus are
answered all material objections which were
urged against the original covenant by those
who feared incursions of the Monroe DOC
trine, or grave entanglements in the event
the United States ever wished to leave the
League, or possibility Of Britain's welding
excessive power in the Council through the
votes of her colonies, or undesirable con-
cessions to Japan her i'll preached issue.
These points, as we recollect, formed the
basis of such criticism as laid claim to con-
stFuctiveness; so that, these being eliminat-
ed, there seems to remain no ground for con-
tinued opposition.
There are number of other revisions,
minor ones for the most part. But they,
along with those here mentioned, in no wise
alter the essential structure or shift the large
purposes of the League. Rather, as Pres1-
dent Wilson remarked in offering the amend
ed plan, they make explicit what we all have
assumed was implicit in the document as it
was originally presented to you" Yet, the
revisions will serve a valuable purpose in en-
abling all who are truly devoted to the cause
of durable peace to join in support OF the
League project, and furthermore will de-
stroy the last excuse of merely carping OBJ
jectoYs. 1t is, therefore, reasonably to be ex-
pected that the covenant now adopted by
the Paris Conference will be ratified as part
of the peace treaty with which it is incor-
porated. And thus will begin the world s
most earnest, most far-reaching and most
suspicious effort to beat its swords into plow-
shares and to make pruning hooks of its
spears.

Aircratt as Common Carriers

The great war was responsible for the de-
velopment of the airplane to point nearing
perfection. The supremacy Of the Allies in
the air contributed unQuestionably to the de-
feat of the Central Powers. The usefulness
Of aviation for the purposes of reconnais'
sance, map-making and bombing was demon
strated Enthusiastically. AS an instrument OF
modern warfare the place Of the airplane is
secure.
AS the world now turns to peaceful pur-
suits, there are multiplying evidences that
the field of aeronautics offers untold posi-
biIities Almost daily there are developments
which justify the belief that very soon the
airplane will be as indispensable in peace
times as it was essential in wartime
Within the past ten days the press dis
patches have chronicled accomplishments Of
the airplane that measurably indicate its pos
sibilites for peaceful pursuits. 1t appears
certain that the airplane is destined to take
it's place as a common carrier in the sense at
least that it will transport passengers, mail
and light express packages.
On April IS, Major J. T. MacAuley, COM
mander of Taliaferro Field, completed a coast
forecast fight, from San Diego, CAL, to jack
sonville, Fla, in twenty hours, having main
tanned an average speed of 1873 miles per
hour. The round trip, distance OF $500
miles was covered in A hours and Is min
utes, and one leg of the journey, from Tucson,
Arizona, to Sweetwater, Texas, $50 miles, was
made without a stop, establishing a new
record
On the day after the completion of Major
MacAuley's transcontinental trip, Captain
E. F. White, also an army aviator, made the
first nonstop flight between Chicago and New
York, in six hours and fifty minutes, or about
one-third the time required by the fastest ex-
press train for the trip.
Although the performances of Major Mac
Auley and Captain White stand out today as
almost unbelievable, it is not too much to
say that the records established by these avia-
tors will be short lived. The development in
the field Of aeronautics is so rapid that it
may be expected that the transcontinental

eve can't drop the thing like hot po-
tato!"
So calculated homespun Philosopher as he
pondered the common sense and deeper
principles of the Victory Loan In entering
the war we shouldered certain reposonsibilt-
ties which we must carry to the end. We
entered to win; we set our hearts and plans
to that end; we spared no pains or expense.
AS result, last autumn found our war-mak-
ing machinery whirring at unmaginable
speed-"a thousand miles minute" feebly
phrases it. 1t was just that speed and the
tremendous power behind it that brought vic
tory a year sooner than was hoped.
But when one is going thousand or mil
lion miles = minute, one cannot stop instan-
taneously. ALI that multitudinous array of
men, munitions, ships, plans, processes and
operations cannot be dissolved in a trice.
They cannot be dropped "like hot potato. -
We must maintain for some time to come a
portion of the machinery which we built upon
calculations of three years more of fighting.
And we must pay for its maintenance as
we'll as for it's creation.

Gus consequence if we should fail. Tens of
thousands of the soldiers who bore the Stars
and Stripes to France and fought on those
distant fields for our advantage could not get
home. Thousands who are in hospitals recov-
ering from wounds or from grave illness
could not be cared Tor. Thousands who are
being re-educated to meet life as best they
can with manned and broken bodies could not
be trained and fostered. If we failed in the
Victory Loan we would have repudiated the
Governments plan to give every discharged
soldier sixty dollars; we would have repu-
dated indeed all our brave professions of 10y
atty and have shown hearts of stony in
gratitude.
But who that knows America can imagine
such recreance in her people? The Victory
Loan will be subscribed as fully and freely as
was any Of its great forerunners; and in the
vanguard of the patriotic response will come

BE NOT AFRAID
By DR.. Frank Crane
Be not afraid of Bolsheyism.

Be not afraid of Bolshevism!
It is the violent reaction of peoples long
battened down under the matches of tyranny.
After while it will spend it's force. After
the first mad excuses of anarchy, once liberty
has appeared, men always come back again
to the arms of law.
For in the end, only in law is liberty, only
in order and self-restraint is real freedom.
Bolshevism and revolt have not changed
human nature. The reservoirs of kindness,
justice, and intelligence are still in the peo-
pie.
This storm will soon be over, even as the
horror of the French Revolution passed, and
left surer order.
Be not afraid of the outcome of Capital
and Labor.
There will be no Revolution in this coun-
try.
Ingrained in us all is the Anglo-Saxon re-
spect for Law and Order.
We are not Russians nor Germans, and we
know how to govern ourselves. We know
how to get what we want without smashing
the furniture.
American Labor and American Capital are
both sound at the core. If they shouldered
their rifles and marched to war together, they
will know how to attack the problems Of re-
construction together.
With mighty few exceptions land most Of
them 1mpOrLeQ) we are regular lOlkb, IdlI
and square, and good sports. We know how
to play the game.
We will settle the Labor question right,
never fear. And if we settle it wrong dozen
times we will tackle it again and again, un-
til it is right.
Be not afraid!
What the future has in store for us no ma
can tell
But, allons! we sail,the ocean unafraid!
There may be rocks and storms and enc
mics and traitors and mutineers, but what do
we care? Our hearts are young within us!
We believe in ourselves. We believe in
our Destiny. We believe in those eternal
principles Of Justice, Democracy, Freedom,
and Equal Manhood Rights upon which our
Republic is founded.
The old Ship of State may wallow in the
wave, but she rights herself, for she is bal
lasted with common sense.
There may be new dangers lurking in the
future, but our Captain says, as Dewey Or

King Albert of Belgium is evidently fond
of the airplane method of travel. He is
using airships frequently nowadays in
transit, and says that he considers them as
safe as automobiles. On his latest trip from

Queen Elizabeth, who herself seems to have
no fear of aerial navigation.
Contracts made during the war for con-
struction of 100000 tons of steel ships
have been cancelled by the government, this
bringing the total of cancellations since the
beginning of the armistice to 100000 tons.
