TN A country which boasts free institu

enjoy freedom Of speech and freedom of
action in so far as each trespasses not on the
equal freedom of all. This doctrine is so
simple and obviously just that it seems pre-
posterous to have to repeat it. But there
are those who onenly or tacitly question
1t. For it is difficult in practice, because
it demands greater charity. a finer sense

GERMAN PRESS BITTER
AGAINST LEAGUE IDEA
AND WANTS REJECTION

Berlin, Tuesday, Feb. is. The
project for a league of nations.
which Ina, been placed before the
Paris peace conference. has evoked
sharp criticism In the German pres,
generally. There are even demand,
by some OF the newspaper, that
Germany refuse to have anything to
do with such a league. The plan,
however, Ina, met with a more SYM
pathetic reception from Professor
Shuecking, yice-pre>idcut OF the
German Association ior a League
OF Nations.
Professor Schuccking believes.
however, that Germany should and
must be permitted to Join the
league simultaneously with the 9th
er powers. He finds much to criti.
else in the proposed statutes and
thinks that Germany should cndea-
yor to bring about such modifca-
tions Of them as would protect her
vital interest in the projected
league, Germany he argues. must
ultimately be heard regarding neces-
,ary changes in the constitution OF
the league, particularly the remedy
| ing OF defects and omissions in iu-
riStic and technical details. In addi.
ton, he argues that the German
scheme for an international bureau
is much superior to the Paris pro-
posal for an executive council dom
mated by the diplomatic representa-
tives OF the five allied and associated
/ powers.
