Why Should U. S. Be Out-Voted?

WITH all the doctorHg that has been performed upon the
W league Of nations covenant to make conform pub
lie opinion especially public opinion in the United States,
the covenant needs still further amendment
Two facts need to be studied in conjunction.
One is that the most debatable article in the covenant
article K not been changed It binds the United States
and all other sgners Of the document o respect pre-
against external aggression the territorial integrity
and existing political independence Of all members of the
league"
Thus the United States would be forced Of the
league participate in combating any aggression that
European country might attempt member of the league
The other is that the United States stH stands
represented in the league with Just vote against
six for the British empire The significance Of these facts
should be patent In vote Of the league regarding hos
tes Great Britain VIII counteIbaance the United States
and five other one-vote countries.
Putting It IN another way, the United States which is
great and powerful in every way is the British
empire-uuch now-Ein stand IN the league Of
only one-sixth the importance Of Great Britain
This greater voting strength Of Brtans is excused By
supporters Of the league covenant the ground that the
British doinous virtually Independent politically. But
they little more any, independent than Porto Rico
Hawaii and the Philippines.
As matter Of simple fairness the United States ought
to have much voting power the league as any other
member Trouble viii surely come later unless
provision TO that effect is made.

SURF AGING CREW
LEFT FOR FRONT
THIS MORNING

The longest train to leave Nenana
since steel was laid south of town,
pulled out this morning, taking the
new surfacing gang, to be known
hereafter as Surfacing Gang No. 2,
to their new camp site at the per-
manet siding a couple of miles be-
yond the old engineering camp at
35-Mile.
The train consisted of thirty cars,
composed of the bunk, mess, kitch-
en-, Office and supply cars of the
surfacing outfit, several carloads of
cordwood, a repair car, and the
caboose.
The Bucyrus steam shovel. which
will work in connection with the
gravel trains and the surfacing
gang, was sent ahead yesterday, and
when the men of the new gang
reach their destination a consider
able portion of the preparatory work
will have been accomplished and
they will be able to commence oper-
atoms almost Immediately after the
train comes to a stop at the camp
ing grounds.
The two big locomotives which
will work in the surfacing opera
tions-the 208 and 239-will re-
main at the front till the work has
been completed.
The gang sent out today will i'm
mediately proceed to ballast and
surface the roadbed beyond the old
camp at 35-Mile, and will work
toward the Nenana crossing at 49,
Mile, and will, as rapidly as posi-
Bile, put the road in shape for heavy
traffic. This part of the road is said
to have suffered most when the frost
went out of the ground, rendering
it unsafe for the heavy locomotives.
After completing this portion Of
the road, the gang will return to
35-Mile and will work toward town
as far as the Jap roadhouse. The
surfacing operations from this point
on up to town will be performed
by Surfacing Gang No l, working
in conjunction with the Bucyrus
dragline excavator.
