KANSAS JURIsT
DECLARES LEAGUE:
WILL BRING WAR
Covenant Involves u, S, in En-.
gagenentS Dangerous to-
National Safety Says Judge.
Van VaIkenburgh,

Kansas City, Mo, May 17.-That the
league of nations in its present pro-
posed form will not accomplish the
prevention of war; will bring compli-
cations and disturbances destructive
OF permanent peace; will be a depar-
turc from time honored and substan-
ual American policies and traditions;
Will endanger national safety and is
Vioiative of the spirit and letter of
the constitution of the United States,
was the declaration of Judge Arba
S. Van Valkenburgh of the United
States district court. in an address be-
fore the Kansas City Bar association
tonight.
~ oppose the covenant in its pres
ent proposed FORM Judge Van Val
kenhurgh said, because it involves
us in engagements dangerous to our
national safety, which we can avoid,
if at all only by acts in contravention
of our express agreements, exposing
us to the charge of international bad
faith: because it introduces the ele-
ment of internationalism. breaks
down the safeguards of national pa
triotism and embarrasses the air of
our sovereignty in the control of our
internal affairs
THE league constitution" he con-
tinued, lis a declaration of distrust.
We do not trust others. We say so
by this instrument. We say to the
other nations: We doubt your mo-
tiyes, sincerity, constancy, morality
and honesty; your word is not as
good as your bond and so we want
your signature to this scrap of paper
that we may have future evidence Of
your probable infidelity."
"One of the tragic dangers of this
proposed league is that it is calculat.
ed to lull us into the sense of false
security that any reliance upon the
league for protection against war we
may neglect to keep ourselves in a
proper defensive post here. This is
plausible guise the league of nations,
We find the same only pacific heresy
peace at any price, even with dishonor
and national ruin; anything whatso-
ever so it is labelled peace-a doc
trine which it was supposed the eXpe-
rienCe of this war had discredited for
all time--we find this heresy, I say
creeping forth into the light again to
threaten our future safety"
