Present Boards Helpless.

This resolution Of the Rotarians Is
the result Of the revelation several
weeks ago by the Federation Of Parent
Teacher associations Of the condition
in the city and county schools. And,
handicapped by the total lack of funds,
both the county and city education
boards Immediately besought the as
sistance of popular demand for bond
issue large enough to- meet the ex-
penses of the repairs demanded by
citizens,
Consequently, the Rotarians jumped
into the fray, on their own initiative,
conducted an investigation into the
charge of the parents and teachers.
The joint report OF these two Rotary
club committees states that it finds
the city and county school systems SO
closely related and their sources of
revenue so nearly Identical that they
should be cared for jointly.
Consequently, first, the report rec
ommends the creation OF a Memphis
and Shelby county school commission,
composed Of five men TO be named in
the bill. Two Of these commissioners
should he from the county and three
from the city.

DETAILS OF LEAGUE
ATTACKED BY SOLON

WASHINGTON, Feb 26.---While de-
claring his full sympathy with the pur-
pose TO form an International peace tri
bunal Senator Cummins, Republican,
declared in an address today in the
senate that he was opposed to the pro-
posed constitution of the league of ma
ticns because he believed some of its
provisions would strike at American
sovereignty.
Presenting the outline OF agreements
he would favor, Senator Cummins said
the league draft as presented at Paris
''polyglot and incoherrent power" which
would submerge the American republic.
In the course Of his address he urged
speedy conclusion of u peace treaty with
Germany
The Iowa senator expressed approval
| of many OF the provisions OF the tenta-
| tive charter of the world league. Those
he attacked deal with submission of
national questions, disarmament and
| provisions for mandatories and for re-
ciprocal territorial guarantees.
There Is some good in it, the pro-
posed constitution) Senator Cummins
said. There is more that is bad In 1t,
As now PROPOSED, would unhesitating-
In presenting definite proposals for a
| league which he declared could be
formed without any surrender of Amer
| lean sovereignty, Senator Cummins
| said:
Cites Four Points.
First, we ought to agree, and all
| other nations ought to agree, that JUS
| tifiable disputes--those issues which can
| be determined by the application Of rec
| ogn7ed laws to estabisheda-sfacts---
| should be settled either by arbitration
| or adjudication, and we ought to agree,
| and all other nations ought to agree,
without equivocation or reserve, that
we will abide by and perform the award
or judgment
Second, we ought to agree, and all
other nations ought to agree, with re-
| spect to other international disputes,
| war shall not be made until some per-
| manent, regular, international body
shall have a fair opportunity to discuss
and examine it.. Upon such questions
| there should be no award, no judgment,
| and the sanction should be confined to
moral influences which time, thought
and free discussion will awaken.
Third, If any nation should refuse TO
| submit proper controversy to 1udg-
| ment, or refuse to perform the judg-
ment when rendered, or refuse to delay
war ., p" ] am willing to agree that os-
| tracsm shall be the penalty inflicted.
Fourth, the compact should contain
| O program of disarmament, and, after
| all, in disarmament lies the hope of
| permanent peace. The constitution pro-
| posed Is most disappointing in this re-
| gard, for careful study gives us little
right to believe that there will be any
disarmament among the strong ma
| tions."
| The Iowa senator said the proposed
| constitution would "neutralize all the
! benefits of a peaceful settlement of dis
| putes between nations ''' affirmative
| ly destroy the national structure and
commit the United States to a
! course which must end In humiliation
and disaster Some OF the provisions,
he asserted, were in direct conflict with
the United States constitution, and un-
der the charter this nation would cease
| "to be distinct"
