THE SOUL OF THE TREATY
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. By Frank Crane,

The Soul of the Treaty of Peace is the
League of Nations.
Without the League the Treaty will be
but Dead Body
1t will be as lifeless statue, thing in
capable OF functioning; just, perhaps, but
powerless; formidable, but impotent; a SIM
ulacrum, not living organism.
AS a League it is Humanity at last united
in an intelligent purpose. AS a Treaty alone
it will be but another of long list of
treaties, and the others lie broken all along
the roadside of history.
Without the League of Nations it will
be "A compound of oil and water, which can
not mix. The League is the I've, and with
out 1T your soap will not wash the world.
The League is the only rational object of
the war We did not sacrifice seven million
lives and two hundred billion dollars worth
of property just to get another Triple AL
lance or Pact of Vienna or Entente
We waged the war to save the world from
war. And no human brain has yet conceived
anything else but some kind of League
of Nations that gives any promise whatever
Of stopping war.
Only by League of Nations, a common
understanding among all governments, can
Armaments be limited, the people saved
from the intolerable burden of maintaining
monstrous organizations of destruction, to
devour the fruits of labor, and keep the poor
enslaved.
The League is the Seed in the Treaty.
Without 1t there can be no propaganda of
future world prosperity.
A Leagueless Treaty will be an emascu-
lated Treaty, sterile, by and by scorned by
some new Conqueror.

On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
De NO Compromise

Only by the League do we make sure
there shall never be another Conqueror
Nation; another outburst of national egotism
and destructive race pride, repeating tbs
devastations of Greece, of Rome, of Spain,
of the Turks.
With the League only can the small ma
tons be protected; Sweden, Belgium, Chile,
Portugal, and Liberia are made partners
with their independence underwritten by
Great Britain, the United States, France
and Japan.
Only by the League does the Treaty Sc
cure any Democracy of Nations
Without the League the Treaty will set,
the world back into its old welter of rival
militarisms, with all its waste, jealousies,
cruelties, barbarisms.
To cut the League out Of the Treaty
is as if you cut the heart out of a man.
To make the League partisan issue
will be the most monstrous act of politicai
prostitution which the envy and personal
prejudice of politicians ever perpetrated.
Gentlemen, we the People do not care a
hang about the Treaty for all treaties are
stopgaps and makeshifts; what we want
is that League.
No Treaty ever stuck permanently.
Every one has been the seed of another
war. Maybe the League will stick. At least
it is worth trying.
We the People are toiling, dreaming, plan
ming, organizing, saving, to make this
world better place TO live in, happier,
freer, more beautiful, filter for our chill.
dren's children, and we do not want Wars
at regular intervals to smash all we have
built up with so much pains.
And only Treaty with League in it
can insure Humanity against War.

Hurry Up

Seattle has outgrown her hospital facilities and the
community is actually suffering for want of
6ations. Many cases, calling for hospital care develop
suddenly hurried canvass of hospitals results in the
scouragng discovery that there accommodations
open This situation has existed month after month.
Private interests have been of the condition. and
several hospital projects under discussion No definite
plan of action, however, has been announced.
Seattle cannot afford wait longer. The suffering
caused by delay too great price for intelligent
unity to pay. If private interests intend to build
hospital the job should be tackled without delay and the
project rushed to completion.
Certainly there public spirited citizens in Seattle
who if they understand conditions will Immediately apply
their brains and money the task of meeting the
hospital need Every day of delay untold human
