of the evils to come from Bolshevism,

United States.

though il is one OF the alleged OBJ
jects of this league to prevent war.
war Is not only distinctly provided
for. but the occasions when IL must
occur are plainly indicated and are
even rendered necessary.
mo one can carefully examine
this constitution of a league of ma
tions without discerning that IL Is
the work of politicians, and not OF
jurists. They have created an or
gan of power. but not an institution
of justice. They have not distinctly
recognized any rights. or made any
provision for determining them on ju-
dictal grounds.
'Tn view of the fact that the league
as it will be constituted Is an ex-
elusive corporation. to which only
those it is willing to receive can be
admitted. Il Is evident that by itself
it will not be body competent to
make laws. II will probably consist.
II 1t comes into existence, of minor
ity of the sovereign states of the civ
ilized world. Even II 1t were a ma

Calls League Imperialism.
The league plan is Imperialism.
1t may be well-meaning-imp
ism always pretends to be benevo-
lent-but IL the war in which we
have participated was a war to
destroy Imperialism. and to estab-
lish self-determination of free ma
tions under law. which should be
the expression OF their consent. a
plan which merely establishes a
Imperialism. the arbi-
trary power of a single group of
nations. would be not a victory for
freedom. but its defeat.
imperialism is imperialism
whether it be joint or single: and
it is not a business that tends to-
ward democracy or toward justice.
Even in its purity and at its best
estate it is a dangerous enterprise
for a free people to engage in. and
1t Is more dangerous than ever
when innocence and good intention
become the partners of seasoned
experience in a game for power"

Different Ways.

The constitution OF the league OF
nations Is the work of politicians, not
of jurists, and 1t creates an organ OF
power instead of an institution of JUS
tice. according to Dr. David Jayne
Hill, former Ambassador to Germany
who lectured yesterday afternoon at
Memorial Continental Hall under aus
psces OF George Washington Univer-
sity. The lecture was the first OF
series of university extension lectures
on constitutional and international
law. the second OF which will be
given at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon.
The Corporate Character of the

of DIR. Hilrs lecture yesterday.
Analyzing the league pact. DR.. Hill
declared that the covenant created
either a super-government with i'm

advisory body with no real means
to enforce its wishes.
Document Ambiguous.
The ambiguity of the document"
said DR.. Hill. "is generally admit
ted. 1t has received from persons
supposed to be competent diametri-
CaIly opposite interpretations. and
such conflicting views have been ex-
pressed even by the same person
at different times and upon different
occasions.
Between free self-Soverning ma
tions on the one hand and super
government on the other. there is no
intermediate condition. no third al
tentative. 1t is a choice between free
and not free.
The league proposes to bind its
members to united action. and it is
in the next breath pretended that
there is nothing binding about it. The
choice must be made. and il is i'm
portant that il should be clearly un-
derstood. Does the league invite. or
does 1t command? II it only invites
il is not a league. If it commands.

little doubt that his scheme as whole

whole theme when he makes one of his
chief characters explain that he isn't
at all interested in, the fight between
capital and labor, but is only trying to
bring two honest hearts together. The

by being induced to believe that "The

was all about. you know-these strikes
and connections and things. AS she

play about social unrest cannot afford
to individualize his characters too
much. He must deal rather with types.

In many ways Russia is much dis
tressed and unhappy nation, but at
least the citizens of Moscow and Pet
rograd do not have to go to see anti
Bolshevik plays.
Arthur Ransome reports in his new
book, Russia in 1919' (Huebsch), that
in whatever other respects the Boil
shevists have failed the theatre is
booming under the regime OF Lenine
and Trotzky. He gives the following
interesting description of an audience
in Moscow:
II looked carefully to see the sort
of people who fill the stalls under the
new regime, and decided that there
has been a general transfer of brains
from the gallery to the floor of the
house. The same people who in the
old days scraped kopecks and waited
to get a good place near the ceiling
now sat where formerly were th2
people who came here to digest thei.
dinners. Looking from face to facs
that night, thought there were very
few people in the theatre who had had
anything like a good dinner to digest
But as for their keenness, can mag
| inc few audiences to which, from the
actors point of view, it would be bet
ter worth while to pray. Applause,
like brains, had come down from the
gallery"
The list of plays which Ransome
found in the Moscow Theatres last
: winter is as follows: "Besheny Dengi.'
by Ostrovsky; "Starik,' by Gorky;
The Cricket on the Hearth" by
Dickens; The Death Of pazuchin,' by
Saltykov "Demon.' by
Rubinstein "Dubrovsky,' by Naprav-
Mix "Meshtchane,' by Cory,
"Groza," by cstrovsky; The Miracle
of St. Anthony" by Maeterlinck; "a
Christmas Carol" by Dickens; Much
Ado About Nothing,' by Shakespeare;
lie Misanthrope,' by Moliere; "The
Accused Prince" by Remizov; Little
Dorrit," by Dickens; The Kings Bar
ber," by Lunacharsky. and '"Alexander
II by MerezhHovsly.'

no explanation OF what strange S.reA!
