SHALL We GO BACK
OR Go FORWARD?

(By Norman Hapgood, President of
League of Free Nations Asso.)
Senators Knox, Reed and Lodge
ars taking as heavy a responsibility
u any set of men could take when
they endeavor to prevent the forma-
don Of a League of Nations at the
only time when there is any real
probability of its being possible to
fern it. long ago the Prime Minis
ter Of England said that at the end
a the war there would come a criti-
cal moment when the mind of man
kind would be fluid; when We should
be accustomed to doing great things,
unprecedented things; when we could
If we wished take such steps upward
that the terrible cost of he war would
be justified. But, Mr.. Lloyd George
went on to argue, once let that mo-
ment pass and we shall sink back into
our customary 1uts and our custo-
mary fears, and there will be nothing
to cempensate fer all the lives and
all the destruction of prosperity.
In endeavoring to prevent the sue
eessful beginning of League of Ma
lions, Secretary Reed comes out
bluntly with opposition to the whole
idea, and few of the less intelll-
gent senators back him up. Cleverer
ones, among those who wish to de-
Feat the League, follow the policy OF
Senators Lodge and Knox. and are

considerations are against them.
The American people ought to I'M

course In detail frequently, as any

You see, the whole trouble with
the attitude of Lodge and Knox is
that they are doing what a certain
type of corporation lawyer tries to
do if he wants to knock out a statute
enacted with the purpose Of helping
along some aspect of civil progress.
He does not lend his intellect and ex-
perience to try to reshape some
clause in the statute to make it more
effective. He gets his microscope
and sees what detail he can find that
may possibly admit Of a successful at
tack on technical grounds, and uses
any such point to upset the whole
! statute.
If minds like Lodges and Knox's
were turned in the other direction,
and were trying to help the world
build a League of Nations, now at
this critical moment. in the wisest
and most fertile manner, their assis-
lance would be invaluable. AS, how
ever, they are simply following the
old trade O ESQ many prosperous and
conventional resctionaries, of look
ing for opportunities to throw the
machinery of progress out of work.
ing order wherever they can find the
| opportunity, they are bearing a re-
sponsibility as grave as men in high
office could possibly bear. They are
| dashing the hopes of mankind. They
are endeavoring to tell the world
that the total result of the measure
less woe of this war shall be precisely
nothing; that it shall leave the world
exactly where it was before its bap-
| tism of sorrow; that any man and
any group of men who endeavor to
rear from the ruins of Europe the
foundations of q better world shall
have from them nothing but obstruc-
ton and disbursement.

Monroe Doctrine. This would be an
-excellent question for a high school
debating society. Any trained mind
| will realize we are simply extending
| the Monroe Doctrine-if you inter-
! pref that doctrine with any realiza-
ton of the march of history. Not
even Senator Lodge and his predeces-
sors have been able to prevent the
discovery of the power of steam, or
the invention of the telegraph and
telephone, or the bringing of the
whole world in closer communica-
J ton than Boston was with New York
in the days of Washington. The Mon
roe Doctrin was form ulated to pro-
tect small and weak nations in the
western hemisphere from exploitation
1 by big and aggressive nations abroad.
What the liberal spirit of the age is
endeavoring to do tomorrow at Yer
sailles is to extend the Monroe Doc
trine to the whole world, to read
the Monroe Doctrine in the light of
the inventions of Fulton and Bell
and Marconi, and not to treat it as if
it was a frozen thing incapable of
growth. We want an arrangement
that will protect not only Brazil, but
Belgium and Serbia and Bohemia and
Jugo-Slava and Poland. Does Sena-
tor Lodge want the new nations or
/ tho r1olx0
Slavs to depend on their own siren

nation in Palestine to defend itself?
,, Would he like to have China Deepen
dent on her own strength? He says,

! Well, echo that statement. Let him
be honest with himself, and tell us
what he thinks Of the state to which
his doctrines have now brought the

He tries to throw a scare into us

more than to take up each one of his
points in succession and show its

fancy that the majority of the Off
Gals of both these organizations
think it to be a domestic question.
Certainly do, and would no sooner
ask the League to settle it than
would ask it to settle the negro ques-
ton in our southern States. The
League, in fact, has comparatively
little to do with the domestic ques-
lions of advanced and self-governing
nations. The greatest cause of wars
in modern times is the race to con-
troll the great undeveloped resources
of the backward countries. SO when
Mr.. Lodge tries to raise tariff scare
he overlooks the difference between
tariffs a free and self-governing coun
try may make for its domestic well
fare and tariffs which might mean
that one of the great powers was as

Feed The Birds

At this time of the year previous
to severe cold weather or heavy
SHOWS, it is always necessary to call
the attention of the public GO the ne
cessity of feeding the birds. A State
may do a great deal in the way of
restocking depleted covers, but more
can be gained by saving what we
have than by purchasing at great ex-
pense large quantities of birds. 1t is
only necessary for farmers and
sportsmen and bird lovers to divert
little time and a small amount of
grain to save many birds throughout
the State of Maryland and have large
numbers of quail and other valuable

plish great amount of good and
the Conservation Commission of
Maryland urgently requests all those
who are interested to do what they
can, if there is any cold weather or

save the birds.
The following little verse has been
issued by Miss Gertrude Knevels,
Secretary of the Forest Hills Gar
dens Audubon Society, as Christ
mas card. 1t is passed on in this
manner so that you will help us to
feed the birds:
How big your nest is, neighbor Man.
How bountiful your fare,
While small birds in the wind and
snow
Are starving everywhere.
Some scattered crumbs, a little seed,
A drop of water, too;
And we will sing our gratitude,
Big Brother Man, to you.
Our birds are valuable. Will you
help them, thereby benefitlng your
selves? TALBOT DENMEAD,

In the last two national elections neither of the two great
political parties mentioned government ownership IN It's plat

Yet is fact that there has been strong trend towards
government ownership policies in affairs at Washington OF

We do know precisely where going to

The political situation reminds of the popular ragtme:
