The constitution of the League Of
Nations provides for disarmament
and contains a clause prohibiting the
manufacture of munitions of war by
private corporations. Whether the
charge that manufacturers of war
munitions connived to bring about
the war is true or not, it is certain
that their profits run into the bill
lions, and naturally they are opposed
to League of Nations for the Peace
of the World. They are spending
millions of dollars for propaganda to
defeat the League of Nations plan,
and have employed many able writ

A PLACE TO STAY
AFTER THEY GET HERE

One of the big things that Liberal
ought to do is to build some suitable
houses for those who would become
residents of the city if they could
find place to live. Here of late the
people have not been over particular
in their choice-they have been glad
to get a place of most any kind to
stay in, and it is noteworthy fact
that there has hardly been a vacant
house in the city for many months
past, no matter how badly depleted
the structure might be. ,t
But Liberal is passing up one good
source Of revenue-that of encour-
aging travelling men who have good
contiguous southwest territory to
make their homes here. There are a
number who already make Liberal
their headquarters, but they are only
a fraction of those who might do so
if rentable property could be obtain
ed. These men are good payers, and
their residence a good asset in a
business sense, as most all of them
travel in automobiles, so there is
not only the keeping Of their fam
lilies in the necessary items of life,
but of their cars, which is a great
source of revenue in every city now.
Then there are numbers of home
seekers who would like improved
homes and numbers of residents who
would like better homes, but whose
business is not of that permanent
nature that they feel they can afford
to inevst in property at first sight.
Liberal has a good building and
loan organization that is doing its
part in assisting people in building
homes, and there are constantly
number in course of construction,
still she needs more. There should
be some concerted action by the
business men to provide rental pro-
perty.
