SECRET TREATIES WITH JAPAN
IMPERlL THE LEAGUE COVENANT
President Wilson Must Square Sonees'
sion of shantuns with His own
Promises to the People or Risk
Defeat Now

CENATOR NORRIS'S revelation OF
~ what he alleges to be the secret CORE
spondence between Japan and Great
Britain and France over the Shantung
question produces a crisis which calls 1or
quick action on the part of the President
The senator's motives may be partisan
or patriotic but they are aside from the
question, which hinges only upon the
truth or falsity of the secret agreements
which he uncovers.
If Great Britain and France were thus
cynically engaged in promising to per
petuate the German wrong by SUBSTITUTE
ing Japan as concessonalre without
China's consent at a time when they were
ostensibly seeking the aid of China as
loval ally on their side in the war, there
must be a reasonable explanation pre-
sented by President Wilson for the in
dorsement of this compact in the YER
sailles treaty or the people Of the United
States, always lovers of fair play and a
square deal for the under dog, will surely
be inclined to repudiate the barter.
The situation now transcends mere
partisanship. The President must realize
that 1t is no longer matter of play for
position, move and counter-move. He
himself has been the most eloquent
teacher of international morals to Ameri-
can public opinion and he must make his
actions at Paris square with his unquali-
fed promises or else tell the truth of
what went on behind the scenes to force
him into line on a compromise Of funda-
mental and vital principle.

1t would be a terrible thing for the
world if the greed and rapacity of a sin
gle nation were permitted to prevent the
consummation of the league of nations.
The Shantung question in its material
aspects is small. The territory and popu-
lation involved are not worth quarreling
over But the principle of the thing is all
| important.
You cannot plant league on a founda-
ton of justice and equity as outlined in
the great words of President Wilson and
have even the smallest taint of blemish
| in the seed. The whole plant, if it lives
| to maturity, is sure to be cankered.
The Shantung concession was born in
| iniouity. It was wrested from China fol-
| lowing the Boxer uprising. Great Britain
and France have similar concessions.
Under international morals, as we have
| been taught to view them since 1914, such
concessions are no longer defensible.
Germany's "rights" in Shantung were
stripped away by the war. China's decla-
ration on the side of right earned her
freedom from at least this one intolerant
landlord. Why, then, was Japan substi-
tuted?
That is the question for which the
! American public has been seeking an
answer since the Chinese delegates to the
Peace Conference refused to sign the
| treaty and thereby gave notice to the
world of the situation. The Norris reve-
lations, if they are true, would furnish
| the answer. 1t was because Japan held
the pledges Of Great Britain and France

SARGENT co.
PEOPLE ARE
DlSCUST'ED
BUSTING Of Peter Weber
After Being Elected Makes
Them Indignant.
CAV staff corres6ondent,

49,, (By Stan CORRESPONDENT
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 31.-People
OF Sargent county are indignant over
in ousting Peter Weber from the
house and seating Frank Riba when
he was defeated in the last general
election. This is the declaration Of
Representative Niels Peterson of Sar-
gent county who has just returned to
Bismarck after q short visit at home.
1.-THE people Of Sargent county
realize that a great injustice has been
said Mr.. Peterson. "They know that
Mr.. Weber received a majority of the
votes cast in Sargent county. They
know there was no fraud in the
counting Of the votes in the Forman
precinct and they know. that no
charge Of fraud o any evidence Of
fraud was produced before the house
committee on elections.
The feeling that injustice has been
done is not confined to the ~independ-
ents, alone, but there are a great
many. N~onpartisan league members
who have declared themselves sick of
the whole deal.
1.-THE Weber deal isn't the only one
that has disguised our people. Tho
manner in which the administration
is trying to Dust Miss Minnie Nelson
from office is causing no end of dis.
content and disgust.
"They realize too that it isn't Miss
Nelson who is so particularly OBJ
noxious but that other causes more
significant and of far greater impor-
lance to the people, have moved them
to play the desperate game they have
inaugurated.
Watch Sargent county two years
from now: it will be the strongest
anti-ToWnley county in the state."s

Many inquiries have been received
here REGARDING the personal effects Of
the soldiers who died in France. 10

eminent is doing about this. word has
been sent to headquarters Of each
home service bureau in the country
and Instructions were received at the
local bureau today.
The personal effects of a deceased
soldier are returned to the family d.
rect, but any money found in his pos
session is sent to washington and then
remitted to the family with back pay,
It any, after proper auditing. II there
is any unusual delay In the delivering
OF this remittance, the matter should
be taken up with the auditor OF the
war department at Washington, CIV
ing h soldiers name, rank, serial
number, company and regiment, age
and date Of entrance into the service;
Also the date or about the date the
soldier died. The writer should state
his or her relation to- tho soldier. X
personal effects have not been re-
turned. this matter should be taken
up with Captain John A. Nelson, ef-
fects quartermaster, Hoboken. N. j.

The government is making ar
engagements to bring back to this
country early in 1920 the bodies OF
the soldiers who lost their lives over
seas. The surgeon general of the
army believes, according to official
word received here. that 1t Is the
privilege Of the. soldier to lie where
he has fallen, and it is hoped that

public sentiment will be so strong
against it that such a procedure
will be abandoned. The soldiers who
died in hospitals are buried in the
hospital cemeteries, which are soon to
become the property of the United
States government and are to be beau.
tilted by shrubs and flowers, and "it
certainly seems fitting that our, SOL
diers should sleep their last sleep in
the land for whose freedom they laid
down their lives" as the official an.
nouncement reads.
The present plan. as it is understood

NO REGARD FOR LEAGUE

When interviewed concerning the
attitude Of Canadians respecting the
Nonpartisan league, Prof. Douglas l..
Durkin OF the University of Manitoba,
who lectured at the university convo-
cation, said that the Canadians have
not a very high opinion of the Nom
partisan league. Prof. Durkin further
said hat he is inclined to consider
the leaders 's~oap-box'' orators and
that the Canadians are not readily i'm
pressed with men of this caliber.''
One of the scientific reasons that
Prof. Durkin gave for this antagonis-
tic feeling among his countrymen
was the fact that they considered
them pacifists on the whole. Our
prejudice against the movement may
further be accentuated by our feel
ing that the leaders and members of
the Nonpartisan league were not
prominent in the, entrance of the
United States into the war. You can
easily see that we Canadians certnin-
ly harbor no especial good will to-
ward pacifists. and we have the feai-
ing that the Nonpartisan league rep
resents the pacifist element OF. North
Dakota"
