democracy, as stable form Of govern
ment as we know 1t. is possible only
with highly educated populations and
a large force of men who are capable
Of government. Few Of the men who
compose these governments have had
any actual experience at governing
and their populations are woefully H.
literate.

not turn back now.
"There is another point which also
needs emphasis. World treaties hith-
erto have always been based on the
theory Of a balance Of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker, partly with q view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
degree with view to maintaining oc-
equations and positions for the ~
dictionaries Of the world.

". who can find employment and
domination In these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for a shorter or longer time, but
never more than a generation.
America came forward with new
Idea, and we insisted upon its injec-
ton into this peace conference. We
claimed that It was possible to set
up such 4 piece Of machinery with
such authority that the balance Of
power could be abandoned as relic
of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire CONSTRUCTION Of this treaty and
every word and line In It to bead to
this Idea.
"Outside Of the League Of Nations
the treaty itself has many deficiencies.
It represents compromises between
mnny men and between many selfish
Interests, and these very compromises
and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations that have entered

New Orleans Cotton.



New Orleans, November 20.-There
were two wide price movements in
cotton today, decline in the early
trading, which carried the active
months ~ to 80 points under the close
of yesterday, and an advance in the
later trading which sent the market AZ
to "a points over yesterdays close. The
tone on the close was steady and final
prices were at net gains of 26 to 40
points.
The opening was excited and the
market was weak under general SELL
ing based on the action of the Senate
in the matter of the peace treaty. The
weakness of foreign exchange contrib
uted to the selling pressure, but when
shorts tried to buy covers in order to
realize profits they Immediately
checked the downward trend of values
and started recovery. AS the session
grew older the recovery gained in
creased Roadway and after the middle
of the day general buying came in as
the result of ill-founded rumors that
the coal strike had been settled.
The market fell off from the top in
the last few minutes Of business under
selling, which appeared to be due to
belief that the ginning returns tomor-
row would be rather full.
