the Herald, the laborite organ, the plan
for the league of nations which has been
formulated at Paris has brought disillu-

there as a thinly veiled scheme for the
victorious powers to gain the ascendancy
and gives the militarists an opportunity
to taunt the pacifsts for their simpliei.

saying, "the league will lose all its NOR

1ishment of international socialism"
Herr Scheucking emphasized that a
feature of the German plan for the
league creates representative world
parliament, thus safeguarding the dem

the return Of militarism in a new form.
