BOYCOTT, GIVES
LEAGUE Teeth
Assistant Secretary Post
Declares Commercial Ban
Strong Feature of Pact.

Commercial boycott of nations war
ring without consultation of the
league of nations would be more eff
fective than wooden guns or guns
that shoot. declared Louis F.. Post.
Assistant Secretary OF Labor. at a
meeting OF the Single Tax AssocIa-
ton at the Public Library last night.
This proviso, Mr.. Post stated, is
included in one of the conditions of
the constitution of the league of ma
tions. He believes that this would
be a most powerful weapon, and in a
way a war without the use OF am
munition.
Sacred Trust.
No nation with a record OF the
Philippines to its credit can complain,
he declared. that 1t must act as guar
dian to any Asiatic country.
Since we are sending missionaries,
doing constructive work in these same
countries. he raised the question as to
our right to object when they pre-
ferred our civilization and guardian
ship.
Mr.. Post stated he did not believe
We would refuse to accept this trust
even II the league does not demTnd
this condition.
The league of nations, as viewed by
Mr.. Post. will embody a sacred trust
Of all nations. substituting the older
idea of the sphere OF influence" as
used in European politics for the in
tcrests OF land-grabbinG.
One type OF man who opposes the
league OF nations. he declared. would
draw an imaginary line in the center
of the Atlantic Ocean, saying. ION
the other side is America and DO
not cross" He said the same would
be done with the Pacific ocean. with
the announcement displayed, This is
the United States"
Other o5jectors to the league Of ma
tions represent those who echo sentI-
merits heard. but Y no have never
read or studied or endeavored 10 uu-
derstand the articles OF the constitu-
tion.

DECLARE MONEY
TRADE MENACE
Federal Officials Advise Ma
tions to Call in War
Paper Issues.

Great nations must call in billions
paper moner or world business must
speed up to overtake the tremendous
currency imitation: otherwise living
costs won't go down for years, in the
opinion of many officials here.
They say ''printing-press money
bank notes unsupported by gold and
silver-is responsible for the 1OS per
cent increase in the cost of living
since 1913. Billions in such paper have
been issued by Germany. the Russian
BOlshevists, France. England and
Italy, and the United States currency
system also has been inflated by Fed
eral reserve notes backed by COM
mercial paper, it was declared.
Paper Influences Markets.
Issuance of this paper has in1u-
enced the markets all the world over"
said H. @ Marshal. assistant chief Of
the United States Bureau of Markets.
calling in OF these billions in paper
by all governments or the increase of
business until it catches up with the
imitation are the only remedies"
Proof that an almost general price
increase followed the signing of the
arnistice IS shown in reports to the
Labor Departments price bureau.
Since 1913 Labor Department reports
show price increases Of:
One hundred and seven per cent for
food. 121 per cent in farm products. 145
per cent in clothing, So per cent in fuel
and lighting, 90 per cent in metals and
their products, s. per cent in lumber
and building materials, s. per cent in
drugs. 133 per cent in household fur
nishings and an average increase of
JOG per cent IN prices of all commodi-
ties.

NEW YEARS EVE
 MASQUERADE BALL
 DRAWS B'G CROWD

i The masquerade ball held at the Union hall on New Years eve was largely attended by the people of Nenana and was great success in every way.
 Immediately after the picture show, the time for the commence ment of which was considerably ad- vanced, so that more time could be devoted to the terpischorean art, the crowd wended it's way to the big hall, while great many others made hurried trips to their respect i've homes to don the various cos tunes each one of them had chosen. When the Coliseum orchestra, | which supplied the music for the dance, arrived and were getting in readiness to play the first dance, the hall was comfortably crowded with dancers, most of whom were in costume, grotesque and otherwise. Jolly masqueraders continued to ar rive and the hall was soon crowded h1 whirling in the mazes of the diff erent dances.
 Shortly after dancing commenced troop of about twenty masquer- aders made a noisy entrance to the hall and, to the accompaniment of the music being played at the time, circled the hall in single file with merry whoops. The men of the party wore the costumes of the Bedouins of the desert, while the ladies were stunningly garbed as the ladies of a Turkish harem, the diaphanous drapings hanging in graceful folds about them, floating lightly as they discontinued the march and broke into the dance with their Bedouin escorts
 A little later on another party made a similar entrance; all of these being fixed up like negroes with faces blackened. Their get-up was very good and although they were not masked, were not readily recognizable.
 1, The bright vari-colored costumes added to the decorations of the hall produced very vivacious and pleasing effect, and dancing was kept up with vigor until midnight, the time for the unmasking.
 Shortly before the grand march prior to the unmasking was formed, a long blast of the Commission
 whistle heralded the birth of the
 new year, and for a time pande- monium broke loose, as the mas queraders and others accorded noisey and hearty welcome to 1919. Sev- eral rounds were fired from re- volvers in salutation, and much handshaking was done and new year greetings exchanged among the happy throng.
 The grand march then took place with all the masqueraders in line, passing in review before the judges elected to determine who were en- titled to the prizes offered for the best sustained characters. .. Judging from the many beautiful and striking costumes worn by the dancers, the judges had no easy task before them, and the march past in review continued for quite a while until the selections were finally made.
 The first prize was won by Miss Betty Foster, who was very be- comingly costumed as Geisha girl, and it was freely conceded that she won fairly. The prize for men was awarded to Kenneth Diven, who was becomingly, albeit rather scantily attired in green, as summer girl at the seaside. He also carried a beautiful green parasol to match, which constituted the biggest part of his makeup. Dr. R. Myers, who was costumed as Bedouin of the desert, was given the booby prize.
