RANSDELL URGES
LEAGUE TEST NOW

While the league OF nations may
not entirely prevent war. it will pre-
vent most wars, declared Senator
Ransdell of Louisiana in the Senate
yesterday. Senator Ransdell summed
up the dement's Of q league Of nations
as follows:
The formation Of q league of ma
tons is a problem that cannot be
evaded. and the experiment can never
be tried under more favorable condi-
tions than now.
The present system for maintain
ing peace by international alliances
has failed. and a strong league OF ma
tions is the only means for preserving
the peace of the world.
"A league of nations would mean
the end of secret diplomacy and secret
alliances based upon dynastic ambi-
tions, and il would tend to create
strong feeling Of international comfy
and good will.
Would Cut ArmamentK-
ut would secure material Limitation
Of ornaments by guaranteeing the
different nations against sudden ag-
gressive warfare, thereby excluding
the main motive for military pre-
paredness.
1T would bring 10 bear upon inter-
national disputes and difficulties the
organized public opinion Of the world,
the strongest force on earth.
at would bring about a beneficial
understanding, and in many cases a
common agreement as to tariffs,
spheres OF influence. shipping rates.
insurance, harbor dues, loans, and so
forth.
at would lessen international trade
If
economic barriers.
.sTt would insure equal transporta-
ton charges on international rivers,
canals, straits or railroads for citizens
of every state in the league.
II would enectually stop the perni-
cious activities against peace OF vest
ed interests, such as Krupps and so
forth.
Solve Far East Question.
TT presents the only solution OF the
Far Eastern question. Shall China
be exploited by Japan or assisted In
development by a league Of friendly
powers?
at would render secret ornaments
impossible by means OF an interna-
tional bureau Of inspection.
while a League OF Nations may
not entirely prevent an occasional
war, there is not the slightest doubt
that IL will prevent most wars and
have a vastly beneficial effect on the
affairs OF mankind.
I'm this most trying hour the
United States is the sole hope OF
mankind. II our mighty Republic
fails to ratify the league, the league
will fail, and IL the league fails the
various nations OF the world will
continue the same mad effort for
physical superiority, for commercial
supremacy, for self-agErandiEement,
which Germany pursued so intelli-
gently and heartlessly for the last
forty years"
