Might Not Join League


The lack of sympathy shown by the
Swiss government for the Allied cause
against Germany may have direct
bearing on her membership in the
league of nations and on the plan to
domicile the organization of nations at
Geneva, as announced. While lhe block
ade against Germany is not a league
measure, it is backed by the powers
which formed the league and conceiv-
ably might terminate all association Of
Switzerland in the league organization
Such an eventualty would mark the
first secession from the league In
this connection, it has lately been ap-
parent that Belgium had redoubled it's
efforts to cause Brussels to he named
as the leagues capital, possibly count
ing upon Switzerland antagonizing the
Entente Powers by it's attitude toward
Germany.
The Swiss governments attitude in
the international situation created by
the collapse of the Central Powers was
summed up in a memorandum sub
mitted to the peace conference in Paris
by President Ador of the Swiss Con-
federacy last January
Recognized Economic Pressure
This document, after expressing ap-
prevail Of the league of nations and the
Swiss desire to join such international
body on equal terms with other states,
declared that Switzerland "recognizes
the necessity for action which may
ultimately consist of military pressure
within the league Of nations" How
ever, the statement continued, "Switz-
erland is determined not to abandon
her neutrality, which is laid down in
the Swiss constitution and based on
the traditions of 400 years of peaceful
policy
The statement went on explaining
that this neutral policy is a matter of
life and death for the Swiss state in
it's landlockcd position between power
full empires. The principle of COM
mercial freedom, it was said, is linked
up with this idea of neutrality, and
the Swiss government hoped that this
principle would soon be restored to
the peoples.

ness, financial and professional worlds,

to Indians and cowboys and foreign.
born herders and rangers, to soldiers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons
In the late war.
What do they all tell him2 unani-
mously they say they want peace
definitely settled, they want no more
wars, they want the League of Ma
tions, and most Of the American peo-
pie. 1t may be fairly said. tell the
President they want the League Just
as 1t IS, without the reservations or
amendments which certain senator's
have insisted upon. The majority of
citizens say to those who interview
them on this tour:
Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly
before and during the war with Ger
many. We entered that war, every
one agrees. to end all wars. He says
the league can do that. We want to
do that, so let us keep on trusting him
and get the league into operation as
soon as possible. Forget politics."
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub.
hcan Governors and Mayors have in
troduced the President to his audi
ence; the Major part OF the local com
mittees which have met him have
been Republicans. They have all said:
I'VE are nothing but Americans, Mr..
President"
Mr.. Wilson's arguments for the
league. briefly summarized. are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or in the future, without It. There
can only be a regrouping Of nations
and a new Balance Of Power" which
Is certain to lead to war There can
be no war In the future, with the
league in existence, because no single
nation would defy the united rest OF
mankind, and II II did, 1t could be
brought to terms by an economic
boycott, and without tho use OF arms.
There can be no reduction in the
cost OF living until the league Is es-
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace time production un-
TIL they know that peace Is definitely
assured and that production Of war
material Is no longer necessary.
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1919-09-23

There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the league In existence, for rel.
ations OF labor and capital all over
the world will be made closer and
more friendly, and the worker will re-
ceive fairer share Of what he pro-
duces.
These declaration of the president,
logically and eloquently put, have left
his hearers thinking and thinking
deeply. And then Mr. Wilson has
pointed out, the people themselves, as
differentiated from senators and politi-
clans, seem to want just what the
president wants, which Is America for
leadership.
Quite as unusual as the purpose OF
the cross country tour is the manner
In which it Is being carried out and
the completeness Of the arrange
ments on the nine car train which is
bearing the party.
At the rear Is the private car May

days, fifteen of these disturbers,
among them the editors of two an
archist newspapers, have been deport-
ed from New York, and eighteen
others are now on Ellis Island await
ing the sailing Of ships that will re-
turn them to the lands of their ma
tivity
The Secret Service agencies of the
Government have been quietly, but
thoroughly, at work for weeks, and
every day or two new batch Of
aliens who have urged the destruction
of American institutions are rounded
up and their records submitted to the
proper authorities with view to i'm
mediate deportation.
In the last four weeks 80 anarchist,
l. w W., and Bolshevist agitators
have been deported by way of Ellis
Island This number does not include
the Seattle and Spokane l. w. w. dis
turbers and other radicals who were
sent East for deportation as result
of Bolshevist strikes in the Pacific
Northwest several months ago. Some
of those agitators also have been
deported, and the cases of several
others, recommended for the "home-
ward voyage, are soon to be decid-
ed by the courts.
Most of the deportations have tax
en- place since bombs were set off at
the homes of Attorney General Palm
er and other prominent citizens. Since
then Secret Service agents have been
making a thorough canvass of the
alien radical situation, and scores of
other alien anarchists, Bolsheviki, l.
w. WIS, and other radicals are I'M
derstood to be marked for deportation
in the near future.
A study of the records of the men
deported shows that many of them
were struggled into this country in
the spring and summer of 1918, when
Germany was making her final effort
to win the war. In some instances
the disturbers came in from Mexico
through the assistance, it is believed
of German agents.
The deportations are being made
under authority of the law signed by
President Wilson last October. This
provides that "aliens who are anar
chistic, aliens who believe in or adj
vocate the overthrow by force OF vic
lance of the Government of thu
United States or of all forms of law
aliens who disbelieve in or are oppos
ed to all forms of organized govern
ment, aliens who advocate or teacl
the assassination of public officials
aliens who advocate or teach the un
lawful destruction of property" O
aliens who belong to organization
which advocate or approve any o
these crimes, shall be deported.

ed on different status after signing
than the allied representatives, as
shown by their separate exit before
the general body of the conference,
they never would have signed.
Under the circumstances the gem
eral tone of sentiment in the historic
sitting was one rather of relief at the
unconvertible end of hostilities
than of complete satisfaction.
The ceremony of signing the peace
terms was brief. Premier Clemenceau
called the session to order in the Hall
of Mirrors of the Chateau of Versail-
les at $40 p. m.
The signing began when DIR. Her

German signatories, affixed their
names. Herr Muller signed at 3.12
o'clock and Herr Bell at 3.13 o'clock.
President Wilson, the first of the
allied delegates, signed minute later
At 3.45 o'clock the momentous ses-

The most dramatic moment con-
nected with the signing came unex-

conclusion of the ceremony, when
Premier Clemenceau, President Will
son and Premier Lloyd George des-
cended from the Hall of Mirrors to
the terrace at the rear of the palace
where thousands Of spectators were
massed.
