up to now they have failed to respond.
But they were always little slow when 1t
pertained to democracy, and we still look
for them to second the motion before the
convention is called to order
The Idabel News should have known that
the nomination has been seconded, the motloh

Col. Jim Tom Storey of the Bokchito News,
who printed said statement in his paper several

the campaign, we feel that it is but Just that

In the event Of a failure to carry out

States, are declared to be the supreme
law Of the land But, while statutes
and treaties can be amended, repealed
or abrogated by congress, the constitu-
tion. having been established by the
people themselves, can only be changed
by the people, acting through state leg
islatures or through conventions called
for that purpose. While this PROPOSE
ton is not controlled BY the opponents
of the league. it is contended by them
that Article 10 obligates the United
States to 20 to war when the terrific
rial integrity or political independence
of a nation is assailed thus in effect
taking from congress the power to de
clare war. In brief, it is contended that
the wurmaking power is shifted from
congress to the league, and our SOW
ereignty impaired to that end.
Not Bound TO 90 to War
Let US examine this argument for a
moment. 1t will be observed that by
Article 10 we. i'm common with all other
members of the league agree to re
spect and preserve as against external
aggression the territorial integrity and
existing political independence of all
members of the league, and that in case
Of any such aggression or in case OF
any threat or danger of such aggression
the council shall advise upon the means
oy which the obligation shall be full
.Nled. We find nothing in this section
that binds US to go to war. If we are
bound, the binding promise must be
found in some other section Of the COW
cnant. [ assert that the most careful
and painstaking reading of the coven
ant will fail to disclose it.
Article IL states that any war or
threat of war. whether Immediately af-
fecting any of the members of the
league or not, is declared a matter of
concern to the whole league and that
the league shall take any action that
may be deemed wise and effectual to
safeguard the peace of nations. Under
article of the covenant, this action,
whatever it might be, could be taken
only by agreement of all the members
of the league represented at the met
ing.
BY Article -. the members of the
league agree to arbitration or to in
quiry by the council, any dispute likely
to lead to a rupture and i'm no case to
resort to war until three months after
the award by arbitrators or the re
port of the council.

arbitration and to carry out in good
