THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WHAT IT REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH f. REED.

| must have these things, and have lots
! of them always ready.
Inc great mistake we made before
the war was in not being prepared
Not only did we have no army and no
military equipment, but we had no
! plans for them. Now, of course. plans
are all right. hut suppose the plans
fail. Is it not wiser to have the sun
plies all ready at all times and TO
nave standing army that is on the
Job ready to do business? Europe
won't dare to start anything. In fact,
the whole world will be afraid of us.
Ihen, too, we must not allow our
, selves on any account to become de-
pendent on other nations. We must
cultivate our own industries so that
we can provide ourselves with every
thlnS IN time of war. This foreign
trade is all very well. but we mustn't
get too chummy with other nations
we must have it understood that our
merchant marine is primarily to
transport our troops and our supplies
In case We get into a war, and we
must have arrangements already
made SO that when these ships are
suddenly shifted to the transport bust
ness, there Will be plans for distribut-
ing our local supplies so that every
BODY VIII have what he needs.
There may be some things that we
cannot produce ourselves 1t would
seem the part of policy to get imme-
date control of the nitrate deposits
IN Chile. Chile is not a powerful
country, and we can not allow any
fancifu notion of justice to interfere
with our natural development. 1t is
evident that it is our national resting
to gain control not only of Lower Cal
lfornia, as Senator Ashurst suggested
the other day nor indeed only of Mex
leo. but of the whole western hemis-
phere. And the sooner we get started
the better. We shall govern the peo-
pies kindly and they'll be much bet
ter off in the end.
There are two other important
branches that so far we have scarcely
cultivated at all. One IS propaganda
and the other is the secret service
Not that we have been idle in either,
but there Is so much more that could
be done. There are people in Asia
who would believe that the United
States was ten times as big and as
powerful as it really is, If we would
only tell them often enough. Why
neglect this chance of increasing the

THE MOONEY CASE.

The protest against no new trial
being allowed Mooney is not without a
basis of justice. While the meeting
at Chicago was the occasion for a lot
of anarchistic talk by I. w. w, mem
beers who "hutted in" to a meeting
called for legitimate labor organiza-
ton. the whole matter should not be
Judged fro mthe anarchist viewpoint
The trial judge who sat in the
Mooney case has solemnly declared
his opinion that the evidence on
which Mooney was convicted has been
discredited by later developments
No technicality of law should be al
lowed to thwart justice, If there is
reasonable doubt of Moneys guilt
and there appears to be. he should be
given new trial.
But the threat of a general strike
nor the strike itself will secure a
new trial for Mooney. The people OF
this country did not lick the kaiser
only to find that court justice was to
be ruled by strikes IN the future.
Certainly the perpetrators of the
cowardly crime in the main street of
San Francisco on July 22. 1915. which
aused the dealt, of ten persons, ought
to suffer the extreme penalties of the
law. But equally certain no man of
whose guilt there is any reasonable
doubt should be forced to do time in
the penitentiary. to say nothing OF
going to the gallows. II Mooney is
innocent, we all hope that he soon
will be freed from prison and from
the stigma that rests on hims If he is
guilty, life Imprisonment Isl a mild
punishment.
The fact that all the charges of per-
jured witnesses, bribery, prejudiced
jurors and the like. were made in the
Mcnamara trial. and that II the Nc
Namaras had not confessed the prob
abilities are that strikes to compel
their liberation would have resulted,
has caused many people to look with
GOODNESS on the efforts being made to
get q new trial for Mooney.

honOr IN which our country is held
Perhaps We could arrange to work
through our missionaries. or maybe
give our missionaries a special course
before they are allowed to go out
And then the secret service There
are plots of all kinds going on all the
time. 1t is absurd not to know about
them. Here. as in the other cases
mentioned, we could pattern our sys-
tenn after that of the Imperial Ger
man empire. Evidently we ought to
have enough spies to find out any
thing in the whole world
The great thing is not to do things
by halves If we are going to have
an army. we must get ready for war
as though we really expected war to
come. We must train up all the aux
iliary forces of the army to the fight
ing pitch and keep them there. We
must not deceive our people with any
delusions about peace. Indeed, the
thing to do is to start with children
in the kindergarten and teach them
war and the glory of war from the
beginning and the wonderful destiny
of our nation to spread our culture
over the world
We could ruin whole countries with
our explosives. We could kill off
whole populations with our gas. We
could destroy the commerce of the
world with our submarines. And in
stead of getting started on this glori-
Gus program before any other nation
does it and destroy us, we are talking
nonsense about a League of Nations
to get rid of war. Has the country
lost all notion of patriotism?

WHAT NEW MEXICO NEEDS.

When South Dakota became a state
the school lands donated by the fed
eral government were valuable for
agriculture. AS the Journal pointed
out some time ago. the lands thus
received have an appraised value at
this time of $7O.443.5OO, and the
school fund now has in cash $751;
s32,3O3.
Thus armed that state now offers
its vast holdings of school and endow-
ment lands to farmers upon longtime
small payments, and low interest
rates. For the returning soldiers the
state provides capital for the pur-
chase and development of such lands
by actual farmers. Already more
than six million dollars has been
loaned for such purposes under what
is known as the rural credits act"
More than as much more cash is
in the treasury for loans in the same
way for the same purpose.
Ever since statehood was achieved
by New Mexico, the Journal has urged
that the federal government be in
duced to turn over all its public lands
to the state for sale or lease. as the
state authorities may think best, for
the creation of a permanent school
fund of ample proportions,
II every foot of the public domain,
now open for demonstrating, were
turned over to New Mexico. this state
would not have received one-half the
value of the lands donated to the
state of South Dakota, or to many of
the other states. Instead of working
TO this end, our representatives in
both houses of congress, except Sena-
tor Fall, have worked on such illu-
sions as the enlarged homestead.
II a determined and united fight
were made in Washington for the re-
mainder of the lands. they could be
disposed of eventually for not less
than forty million dollars net, The
interest on that sum at five per cent
would bring into the state two. mil
lion dollars annually.
Every public land state would favor
such move. and if the representatives
from those states awould get back Of
it solidly, fightingly. a bill would be
put through that would solve the tax
problems of New Mexico for all time
to come.
But il cannot be done by any half
hearted action. There must be deter
mination to make such proposal a
matter higher than party affiliation.
No enlarged homestead measure is
worth the paper used in printing 1t,
No real friend of New Mexico wants

labor demanded an advance, and
got it,
When the United states entered the
war, industries engaged in war pro-
duction paid phenomenal prices for
labor, considering the regular scale
allowed and the overtime. The man
who did not make more than twelve
dollars Il day had little ambition. But
the clerks and other salaried men got
little or no advance.
The high wages at the war work
plants took the labor from the farms
that had not been taken by the draft,
hence the cost of agricultural prod
ucts was advanced enormously every
where. And so it has gone. the cost
of living mounting from real and arti-
fetal causes, and the salaried man,
always a consumer, of course. getting
no raise with which to meet the con-
ditions thrust upon him,
George f. Roberts, assistant to the
president of the National City bank
of New York, has this to say on the
situation:
prices of commodities are abAor-
NAL. Wages are high. II these two
can be brought down concurrently we
shall have conditions favorable to all,
Abnormal wages do not purchase
more goods at abnormal prices than
normal wages can purchase at nor
NAL prices. And normal prices will
especially benefit certain large classes
-salaried people in particular
whose pay has not increased in pro
portion to wages"
The big problem today, after taking
care of unemployment. is to get down
off our stills.

PAY OF SALARIED PEOPLE.

Speaking of conditions In central
Europe, Worlds Work says:
THE war has reinforced the pro-
letarat by reducing to its ranks whole
sections of the former middle classes
the great army of salaried employees
and others of fixed incomes, who have
suffered from the rise of prices more
severely than manual workers, and
have seen their savings waste away
and their standard of living reduced
until they are on the verge of pau
perism. This is no exaggerated state
ment it describes the actual condi-
tons of minor government employees
teachers, statesmen. clerks, office
workers, and others in related occupa-
tons throughout central Europe"
A statement of conditions in cen
trail Europe. regarding salaried peo-
pie, sounds little different from what
such statement would be regarding
conditions in the United States. Sala.
ried employees in this country are gen.
orally finding it difficult TO make both
ends meet, and there is no relief In
sight.
When the prices of necessities be-
gan to rise four years ago. organized
labor demanded increase of wages
and got it. The granting of this in
crease was followed by higher prices
for necessities. and again organized

LOWER CALIFORNIA.

Governor Cantu OF Lower California
points out that under the constitu-
ton of Mexico no territory can be
alienated by that government. That
is correct but Mexico has frequently
changed her constitution in the past
and might be induced to do so again.
Lower California is almost COM
pletely cut off from the rest of MeXi-
co, and Governor Cantu has refused
since the Madero debacle, to recog-
nize the authority of any one of the
so-called governments of the republic
mot even that Of Carranza at the
present time. He has sternly sup
pressed all Villaism that has shown
Up in his country. He is a benevolent
despot.
But the desirability of annexne
Lower California to the United States
is based upon strategic considerations,
as was the purchase of the Danish
NtSl iHNit5. MdSboiGHo poS 10 ciiN
of the finest harbors in the world
and has natural defenses that would
make it impregnable to attack. Turtle
bay is also a good harbor.
If the United States ever should
be attacked from the west. military
strategists say the attack would be
made through Lower California. For
several years we had strained rela-
tons with Japan, and there were con-
slant reports of efforts on the part
of Japan to get foothold on the
Lower California coast.
Beyond doubt there were many ex-
aggerations in such stories of Japa-
nese intrigue, but there was enough
fact at the bottom to cause the senate
of the United States to pass a very
pointed resolution dealing with the
matter. 1t was warning to Japan
that this country would not tolerate
the lease of a port on the Mexican
coast, even by Japan trading COM
pany.
Lower California has about fifty
thousand inhabitants. occupying ter
ritory a little less than one-half the
size OF the state of New Mexico.
Commercially, there is little of value
in the country. But it might save the
United States billions of dollars were
