DRIVES"

Life in America is just one "drive" after another.
The end Of the war has not stopped it, War experience
merely showed the nation how do it. No sooner has one
drive ended than another begins And cannot be helped
The objects are generally important and worthy and now
that the war and the club Of patriotism cannot be
welded the reluctant contributor that one may
or may not give as his judgment financial condition
may dictate nobody really complain Anyway these
drives keeping many persons employed all the while
and busy people have no time for mischief.
These drives are made necessary by the fact that so
many more things are needed than formerly The diff
ference is probably that used to ignore the needs
whereas now we get busy and do something about hem
handling big things in big way and putting over money
raising campaigns, membership campaigns, ETC.. that
would have been impossible before the war just because
people thought them impossible
This is true of national movements, municipal move
ments and neighborhOd movements. 1t appears in all
sorts of interesting forms. Peoples ideas have grown
bigger Their spirit is broader Their methods
effective They tackle problems of organization, fnan
cling, development etc. along many lines, in way which,
before the war would have appeared absurdy preenons
and ambitions And they "get away with it" whether it
be Victory Loan or Salvation Army fund.- or a Boy
Scout enrolment, or local hOuse-bulding program or
church. increased club membership, or busi-
ness-ke charities organization.

then--nothing | could have said would

Neil had charge of the manufac

mess 1t had grown enormously since
he took charge partly owing to the
war. His commissions amounted to
far more than his salary, far more than

Among the first to offer his re-

Frederick His vast manufacturing
plants were turned into munition works
his immense fortune put to work to
save the wcrld. And because Of his
quick grasp Of affairs Neil was made

ARTICLE III
The Assembly

This is the larger organ of the league,
the one ~ which all the members are
represented, by three delegates apiece
I if they please, so that if all the forty
five countries named in the annex to
the covenant should Join the league,
and each of them should send its full
complement of three, the assembly
would fill one hundred and thirty five
seats. Since statesmen and Othersin all
lands have a strong desire to be of ser
vice On such occasions it is probable
that the delegates present will not be
much less than this, a number well fit,
tea for debate. but not for confidentis
Interchange of opinions on delicate mat
ters.
Actual Functions Limited
The assembly wil indeed probably
attract mere popular attention than
any other organ of the league; and set
its actual functions, which are TO be
found scattered through various ar!i-
eles Of the covenant, are extremely
limited. Besides regulating its own
procedure and appointing its commit
tees, it is empowered to select the four
smaller states to be represented on the
council, to approve Of enlargements of
the council, to confirm the selection of
the secretary general, to report upon
disputes between nations referred to
it by the council or by eithor Of The
disputants, to advise the reconsidcra-
tion by members of the league of trea-
ties that have become inapplieable and
the consideration Of international con-
ditio1s cndagcring the peace Of the
world and by two thirds vote TO ad-
NIT new members to the league. Ex-
eept, therefore, for some definite pow
ers relating to the organization and
of the league, its authori-
ty in international affairs is confined
to making report in certain disputes,
and giving some advice to the members.
What then is the meaning Of the
third clause of the article which pro-
vides that "the assembly may deal at
its meetings with any matter within
the sphere Of action of the league, or
affecting the peace of the world "
Clearly this does not mean that IL can
deal only with the subjects to which its
authority extends by the provisions of
the covenant, for that would reduce its
field Of discussion to almost nothing.
Nor, on the other hand, does it mean
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1919-06-19

/ that the assembly can take aenuY
binding upon the membsr in all mat
ters within the sphere of action of tht
league, because specific provisions al,
made for dealing with those matters
and the Interpretation suggested woult
render all such provisions futile. Tn,
assembly would have power to ovcrrul,
them all. Moreover, Article V declare,
that except where otherwise expressly
provided decisions of the assembly Oh
council shall require the consent Of all
the members of the league represented
at the meeting. But a unanimous deris
ion of forty five countries can never
be attained where there is any serious
difference Of opinion, and where thoie
is not il is needless. To authorize the
assembly to take unanimous action on
any subject they pleased would, there
fore, be simply eonferring a power that
cannot be used.
Importance of Discussion
In view of the other specific provis-
ions of the covenant the intention of
the clause is perfectly clear. 1t means
that the assembly is authorized not 10
decide, but to discuss, all matters with
in the sphere of action of the league or
that affect the peace Of the world. IN
this it is the successor to the confer
epces at the Hague. Save for the very
limited authority expressly vested In
it the function of the assembly is dis
eussion, and that is of immense inn
portanee. The mere fact that any ma
tion, however small, can bring IFS
grievances and its aspirations before

objects of league.

An Inquest of the World
DisFach once said that parliament
was the great inquest of the nation.
The assembly of the league may well
become the great inquest of the world;
the body where plans for the better
ment of mankind are advocated, and
where codes of international law are
and debated.
