Argument of League Proponents.

The stock argument OF the pfopo-
nentS of the covenant for league OF
nations has been that the undertak-
ing VIII prove an instrument 10Y
world peace. They have even gone so
5a.. as to characterize it as a league
of peace and its opponents have
been denounced as preferrinE war. as
trying to make political capital at
the expense of the peace of the world.
and as putting obstacles in the way
of the future happiness OF mankind
Going before the people with their
pleas to support the league II they
wanted peace, the league advocates
have won many individuals to their
cause who have accepted the state
ments of the agitators at their lace
value without troubling themselves
to see if they We're borne out by facts.
But take the peace Cry away from the
league advocates and there is moth
ing left on which to base their claims
for support of the covenant.
The whole structure of the league
is conferred about the idea of compul-
sion. Starting with a council OF the
repr esentativeS of nine states, really
dominated by three nations, or two,
# the United States stays out. 1t is
proposed to subjugate all the rest of
the world to its will The very es-
Sence of the covenant is force, to be
eXerted on any nation which. in the
opinion of the council, is not comport-
ing itself according to the rules laid
down in the covenant and Interpreted
by the council.

Irritation and Friction Seen.

THE covenant bristles with limlta-
tons and restrictions on Independent
nationalism that will prove a constant
irritation to countries accustomed to
determine their own affairs free from
foreign interference. Almost every
article in the covenant, save those
that deal purely with administrative
routine has in it the essentials for
the creation of friction likely to lead
to war between nations; in fact, some
of them not only tend to war but
make war automatic and compulsory.
During our life as d nation we
have not enjoyed uninterrupted peace.
But the wars in which we have been
engaged concerned issues directly af-
fecting our national life and welfare.
ANY man who would have suggested
that we rush into Asia to settle a
controversy between China and ia
pan would have been branded as in
sane 1t never entered anybOdy's head
in 1904 that we should interfere by
force in the Observation-Disclosures war.

Germ to the United States. and we are
. to become embroiled in it if we sub
