The Washington times., 1919-02-16

The constitution Of the world
means that men have reached IN
their progress toward civilization
the age OF reason.
Whether reason will rule per-
manently remains to be seen.
Musing on the "ruins o. en-
pires," Volney wrote: at was the
Phoenician, offering human sacri-
fees TO MoIoch, who gathered into
his stores the riches OF all eli
mates; it was the Chaldean, pros
trate before his serpcnt-god who
subjugated opulent cities, laid
waste the palaces OF kings, and
despoiled the temples of the gods;
it was the Persian, worshiper Of
fire, who received The tribute OF
hundre:i nations; they were the in
habitarts of this very city, ador-
ers of the sun and stars, who
erected so many monuments Of
prosperity and luXpy."
That, let Us hope, will not be
written again, BY any future
philosopher moralizing on the
ruins Of present civilization and
its good resolutions.
Rather may the motto OF the III
dividual and Of the nation be for
evermOre: Preserve thyself; in
struct thyself; moderate thyself;
live for thy fellOw-citizens, that
they may live for thee"
The Washington times., 1919-02-16

Clause twenty-threa compels ev-.
cry nation to let all the other ma
tiOns know what contracts,

IL any outside nation or any Of
the five ruling nations breaks its
agreement, 1T shall thereby, ipso
facto, be deemed to have commit
ted an act of war against all the
other members Of the league" The
others will Immediately end all
financial aud trade relations and
what is most important use their
naval and military power to pre-
vent the nation thus offending from
having dealings With any other ma
ton on the globe. For instance, ii
the United States should break its
agreement and attack ItaIy-which
isn't likely--France, England and
Japan would help Italy TO beat
America and Immediately use fleets
to prevent America from having
relations with any. nation on the
globe, in or out of the league.
This provides for q gigantic
worldwide scheme that ought to
be effective and would delight the
soul OF the late Captain Boycott
OF Ireland.

ton and control of some advanced

Armenians and others hitherto

Then, most novel and impOrtan,
Of all, comes LABOR.
The parties of the world are to
maintain a world labor bureau"
TO secure and maintain fair and
humane conditions of labor for men,
women, and children all over the
world. A big contract there, for
in some places you can buy chill
dren and do as you please with
them; in other places, like the
United States, you can work them
to death in mills if you find it
profitable; in some places you
can hire skillful men for four dol
lars 4 month and in others you
can't hire them at all.
Clause 20, about labor, contains
the WORLD CONSTITUTIONS

Therc is an interesting and inn
pOrtant clause, number twenty
one, that agrees Ito secure and
maintain freedom of transit and
equitable treatment of the com
merce of all states, members of
the league"
That might or might not mean
control of tariffs, free trade. and
various other things. The high
court probably will decide it. Ques-
tions and quarrels undoubtedly
will come.

The document that the President
of the United States brings across
the ocean will be studied by really
civilized men, thousands of CEN
turtles from now. All the agree
ments may be broken, war may
come back, barbarism- may rule,
and we may be compelled in future
years 10 rediscoyer, "reinyent," the
telephone, wireless, and the steam
engine. All these things may go
as in ages past mems accumulated
knowledge has been wiped out.
But at least the five greatest
powers on earth, instead of plan
ming to kill each other, have plan
ned for the first time TO stop kill
ing, and their leaders at least
mean it.

Kwai's Appointment Protested.

A committee from the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics ap-
peared before the board to protest
against the appointment of Yung
kwai, a young Chinese, to be captain
of a company of cadets at Central
High School They asked the board
if kwai is an American citizen. Rev.
John Van Schaick, president of the
school board. said he did not know,
but would make inquiry and notify
the organization of the boys status.
kwai is son of the counselor Of the
Chinese legation.
In answer to a question from DR..
Van Schaick, the committee said it
was protesting because the boy is an
oriental. The president of the board
said his personal opinion was that If
the children of foreigners are admit
ted to the public schools he did not
see how they could be barred from
certain school activities.
