, power to override them all. More
over, Article v declares that except
where otherwise expressly PROVIDED
decisions Of the Assembly or Coun-
Gil shall require the consent OF al
the members Of the League repre-
scented at the meeting. But a unanl-
nous decision Of forty-five countries
can never be attained where there Is
any serious difference of opinion,
and where there is not 1t is needless.
To authorize the Assembly to take
unanimous action on any subject
they pleased would. therefore. be
simply comforting a power that can
not be used.
Importance Of Discussion
In view of the other specific pro-
visions Of the Covenant the inten-
ton Of the clause is perfectly clear.
It means that the Assembly is au-
thorized not to decide, but to discuss,
all matters within the sphere OF ac-
ton of the League or that affect the
peace of the world. In this it is the
successor to the conferences at the
Hague. Save for the very limited
authority expressly vested in 1t the
function Of the Assembly is discus
sion. and that is of immense impor-
lance. The mere fact that any ma
ton, however small, can bring its
grievances and its aspirations before
general body of representatives
gathered from all the free, orderly
end civilized peoples Of the earth is
of inestimable value. 1t is fertile
means of creating that enlightened
public opinion on international ques-
tions which has been heralded as one
of the chief objects Of a League.
International distrust often arises
from misunderstanding which can be
removed by open conference; and
points of contact are points of mu-
tual comprehension. The influence
of external public opinion may we'll
tend to enlarge, and thus reduce
what is bad in excessive chauvinism
without lessening healthy patriotic
spirit.
An Inquest Of the World
Disraei once said that Parliament
was the great inquest of the nation.
The Assembly Of the League may
we'll become the great inquest of the
world: the body where plans for the
betterment Of mankind are advocat-
ed, and where codes of international
law are prepared and debated.
1t may be observed that although
each member of the League is en-
titled to send three representatives
to the Assembly, the voting is by
states. Some people have desired a
great parliament Of the peoples OF
| the earth. but as yet that is utopian.
The organization of the modern
world is built upon nationality. and
whatever a remote future may bring
FORTH at present peace and order,
justice, progress and liberty must be
| based upon a concert of free nations.

Some Facts and Queries

Editor of the kennebec Journal
In Fridays kennebec Journal.
Chairman Deering Of the State High
way Commission says: THE state
ment being made that there is no
sinking fund for the 100000 bonds
already issued is incorrect and alb
solutely misleading. A careful
perusal Of the original bond issue
law for the construction of highways
in Maine will show that an amount is
being taken care of by the automo-
bile funds, and it is being paid for
annually out of them on the serial
basis. The Jaw is very distinct in re-
gard to this"
In a recent letter to the Maine
Farmer, made the statement which
Chairman Deering SAYS is incorrect
and absolutely misleading, IN the
following authorities:
The amendment to the Constitution
providing for a bond issue Of $2.vU0.-
900 for State highways reads as fol-
lows: THE Legislature may au-
thorize the issuing OF bonds not ex-
ceeding 100000 in amount at any
one time. payable within Al years."
When this amendment was being
discussed prior to it's adoption by the
people. in company with many others
was misled into believing that the
bonds to be issued would either be
serial bonds. which. when once paid,
would not be reissued. or that pay
ment Of the entire bonds would be
taken care of by an annual sinking
fund. and that an annual sinking
fund Of 100000 would have paid of
every bond in slightly less than Al
years.
On April %. 1919, State Auditor
Wardwell wrote me as follows:
January I. 1919. the full amount Of
100000 highway bonds were out
standing. There has been paid up
to the present time. this year, $780,
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1919-06-14

GOO; leaving outstanding at the pres
ent time $1,940,000. These bonds
are paid as fast as they become que,
and usually once a Year ncv bonds
are issued to make the total amount
outstanding of $2,OOo,C0o. Under the
old law, tie Governor and Council
had authority to set aside from the
automobile receipts as a sinking fund
any amount that they deemed neces-
sary. The law was changed in 1917.
limiting the Governors Council so
they could only set aside sufficient
funds TO pay bonds for one year.
which practically has the effect Of
doing away with the sinking fund"
On June 9, 1919. Chief Engineer
Sargent of the State Highway Com
mission wrote me, and among other
things, said:.'I quite agree with you
that some provision should be made
for a sinking fund for the retirement
of State highway bonds"
In this weeks Maine Farmer. Chief
Engineer Sargent of the State High
way Commission has very careful
and enlightening recapitulation of
the expenditures under direction Of
the State Highway Commission Tor
the six years 1878. amounting to
$?.561,447. In the Justification of
this sum, there is no indication that
any part Of it was used for paying
off any Of these highway bonds, for
a sinking fund for them or for in
tereSt on them.
Chairman Deering ends up his
statement as follows: 1.-THE whole
argument of some of the opponents
seems to be to show that the State
will always have an annual expendi-
ture OF interest money, and always
will have debt, which is absolutely
wrong and misleading" This state
ment OF the chairman of the State
Highway Commission seems to me
not to exactly agree with the state.
ment of the State Auditor or the
Chief Engineer of the Highway Com
mission. 1t would certainly enlight-
en- me if Chairman Deering would
give public and detailed explana-
ton of exactly how these highway
bonds are being paid off; what the
sinking fund for them, if there is
one. amounts to: how it is provided
Tor; from where it comes; whether it
is real or bookkeeping: and wheth.
er or not new bonds are issued to
