 of Nations Condemned
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 4.-The national socialist party in a declaration of prin- ciples adopted today unqualifiedly in dorsed the soviet republic of Russia and the international socialist move7 ment and condemned the league of na- tions.
 The delegates jumped to their feet and cheered for several minutes when the paragraph was read approving the soviet republic of Russia. The docu- ment compared the Russian revolution with the American revolution of 1776.
 The manifesto adopted reads in part:
 We declare our solidarity with the workers of Russia in establishing their soviet republic and we indorse the so- cialists of Germany, Austria and Hun gary in their struggle for freedom. We condemn the counter revolution in Rus sia backed by the czarists and the en- tente nations in an effort to destroy the soviet republic. We approve indus trial as we'll as political action in the struggle for the emancipation of the working class.

we talk of league to keep the peace and of a court composed of the great nations of the world to maintain peace for the future. Ten centuries ago our ancestors on the continent of Europe indulged in private war for the set clement of individual wrongs. We have ealy moved by slow degrees from the pIace where force and violence were the determining factors in the con trol of property to where law was substituted to protect the rights of man. It has been true in the advance of all civilization. It was as much true in the ancient Grecian and Ro- man civilization as it was true in the dawn of civilization among the tribes and nations of northern Europe.
 Tt may be worth while to consider the evolution from the day whenf the rights of man were maintained by the sword to the day when their de- termination was prescribed in judicial tribunals established by governments. In the analysis of the process that led to the protection of property by law instead of by force, we may find the light that will show us the way to the correct determination of the harassing questions that are now disturbing the industrial world
 "A thousand years ago, our ancestors In England lived mostly by law. The blood feud gave protection to the clan by insuring speedy vengeance on those who violated the rights of its mem- bers, and not until the days of AL fred the Great was the right to pay the price of peace established as an

LEAGUE COMMENDED

We condemn the league of nations las the black international of capitalism. It is the conscious alliance of the capi- talists of all nations against the work CTS of all nations.
 We declare that there will never be
 lasting peace until the world is com
 posed of federation of free and equal socialist nations
 Recognizing the crucial situation at home and abroad. the socialist party of
 the United States at it's first national |convention after the war, squarely takes it's position with the uncompromising section of the international socialist movement.
 We commend these factions of so- cialists in other countries who re- lmained steadfast to their principles dNr- ing the war. We demand the imme- diate lifting of the indefensible and inhumane blockade of Russia. We urge the workers of the United States to do all in their power to re- store and maintain our civil rights to the end that the transition from capi- talism may be effected without resort ing to the drastic measures made nec- essary by autocratic despotism."

ie WOULD VI BE DISASTER

NO greater disaster couId come to the homes of the people of America than a general continental railroad strike Had the contepding parties to the controversy in the threatened strike of 1916 insisted on strike ccn- ditions as the final and only solution of their differences. it would have meant the absolute and complete pa- ralysis of the commerce and industry through the United States, with all .he attendant loss of property and per sonal suffering that such conditions must inevitably produce. The blood feud of the Saxon era stared us in the face. The Congress of the United States, to avoid disaster compelled the railroad companies to pay the price of temporary peace. The gravity of the situation for the moment passed away and industrial peace was maintain ad in the land. but there has been no final solution of the problem. The difficulties and the dangers of the past have not been remedied The parties to the controversy have reached no final settlemen-~ and the Congress of

Efficiency tn
 Msurunce Seruice

There are two big ideas in the business world today, each of them being repre- sented by a single striking word.
 These two words are Eff ficiency and Service.
 Efficiency m e ans the know how-devotion to de- tail, accomplishment = the highest degree of material success. A man might be an efficient crook or an ef- ficient mechanic. Effic- iency is an impersonal thing.
 But Service stands for the other fellow. Service means warmth, friendliness, duty, sacrifice. Service is a beau tiful thing and it is purely personal.
 Now, when you have these two high qualities combined in any man or in any bus mess organization = yo u have found som e t h i n g m i g h ty near perfection, haven't you?
 Trustees System means ef- ficiency in service. That is why Trustees System se- cured James H. Awtrey to represent it's insurance de- partment here in Birming- ham.
 You know Awtrey. You know his smile. You know his word. You know his kind of work. Nobody can tell you anything new about his reputation for efficiency and service.
 But, the point is, have you put your insurance business in his hands? If you have not, don't you think it would be a good thing to put it in the hands of a man whose ideas of service are so high, so plainly loyal, so fair to the other fellow?
 A wtrey's policyholders sleep well O nights, because they don't have to worry. Awtrey, they know, will take care of them.
 Let Awtrey do it!

TARDIEU DEFENDS
 TERMS OF PEACE
Declares That Provisions Make
 Germany Harmless

Beaune, France, May 29.-Captain Andre Tardieu, member of the French peace delegation and former head of the general commission for France America war matters, defended the treaty of peace in an address deliv- cred today at the closing exercises of Beaune university, where 10000 American student soldiers have been studying since the armistice put a stop to actual hostilities. He said, in discussing the treaty:
 First, it is honest; it agrees with our program of war, without public engagements and with our conception of international life. To find matter for reproach in this character is to misunderstood altogether what ideals have contributed to our victory, and to strip us in peace time of one of our greatest forces in war.
 Besides, it is common to us both. and vouched for in every one of it's articles by the whole-h hearted adhe- sion of your and of the allied govern ments. While he is studying and dis cussing this same treaty, the enemy we'll knows that he has a block of granite in front of him. If anyone tries to belittle this solidarity. he thereby confesses that he has learned nothing from the lessons of the war Or from the creative greatness of our union.
 Finally it is efficient, for in that world where it invited to peace, it makes Germany truly harmless. It forces her to repair everything which she should and can repair
 To challenge the need of such a guarantee IS to confess to having lVed TOT live years outside of human lty and to ignoring the martyrdom which such aggression has inflicted on you"

one another, whether strong or weak, and without the acceptance of that principle no part of the structure of international justice can stand
 The guarantee of such title would be subversive of the reign of law based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organ ized opinion of mankind. The guar antee of such title would constitute recognition of the right of the strong to serve it's own material interest and advantage through the exercise of it's exterior influence and mastery The guarantee of such a title would give Great Britain a warrant to make a na- tion weaker than herself subject to confirm the claim of Great Britain to rule and dominate the people of Ire land even in their own internal af- fairs by arbitrary and irresponsible force Any guarantee under article 10 of territorial integrity and political independence as affecting Ireland, can rightly endure only to the benefit of the people of Ireland themselves.
 Tn the name therefore of the peo- pie of Ireland, I ask that the Irish na- tion may be invited to give their ad- hesion to the covenant of the league of nations, and that membership of the league-a membership available under article seven even to colonies who have freely subscribed to the supremacy of the English imperial parliament-shall not be denied to the government of free, independent Irish republic''

FRENCH LABOR SCARCE.
Public Works in the North Will Re-
 quire Services of Thousands.

Paris, May 30.-There is work right now in France for every man who wants to work, according to M Claveille, minister of public works who told an Associated Press repre- sentative that the lack of labor alone is holding back some of the impor- tant public work for what material was assembled while the war was going on.
 Besides the immense task of re- building northern France, M. Clave- file pointed out the following projects which will be executed as soon as the labor can be found: The enlarge ment of the canal from the Rhine to the Rhone to give Alsace a better outlet for her products to central France and to the Mediterranean; ex- tension of several other canals; en- largement and improvement of the ports of Algiers, Marseilles and Brest, with the extension of railroad lines leading to those ports; the building of water power plants of several hundred thousand horse power in the Alps, the Pyrenees and around the central plateau to furnish electric power to railroads and lighting cur rent to cities, including Paris; the levelling of the wall of Paris; the ex- tension of the Paris subways into the suburbs as soon as the Notifications have disappeared; and, eventually, the digging of the tunnel under the Eng fish Channel.

AMERICAS DUTY !
 TO AID ARMENIA
Oxford Professor Says This Country Should Take Over Mandate For
 Little Nation.

London, May 30.-"We ask Ameri- ca simply to assume a burden, to per- form a service to humanity" says Professor Gilbert Murray, of Oxford university, in a statement advocating that the United States accept a man. date of the League of Nations to ad- minister and protect Armenia.
 Armenia has been saved from the Turks and Kurds after suffering one of the most awful prosecutions known to history" adds Professor Murray. "A remnant of the Armenians still alive can be reconstituted into a na- tion; but they will be too weak and disorganized to main tain indepen- dence or internal order, unless they are helped and protected by some other nation.
 '"The protecting nation must be very strong, absolutely disinterested, known and trusted by the Armenians, and not already overburdened by other duties elsewhere. There is no nation in the world except America which satisfies these four conditions.
 "If America will accept the man. date, the Armenians can still be saved as a people; if America refuses, one more great region of the world is in danger of slipping into anarchy"
