tute a forum before which could bc
brought all claims for self-determi-
nation which are likely to affect the
peace of the world.
THE Covenant would not bind
the United States to assist in put
ting down rebellion in any foreign
country" he asserted, nor would IL
limit the power Ct this country TO
recognize the independence of any
people who seek to secure free
dom"
Replies to Council
He said Ireland's case was not
heard at Versailles because it did
not come within the jurisdiction of
the Peace Conference.
The Presidents statement was In
reply to series of questions sent
to him by the San Francisco Labor
Council. 1t is understood that
within a few days he will reply SIM
ilarly to the questions put by other
labor bodies regarding Shantung
and the representation of the Brit
ish dominions in the League assem-
bly,. Replying directly to a question
as to his attitude toward self-deter-
mination for Ireland, Mr.. Wilson
said his position was expressed IN
Article eleven of the Covenant un-
der which it is declared that any
member nation can call the atten-
ton of the League to any circum-
stances whatever affecting interna-
tional relations which threaten to
disturb international peace "or the
good understanding between ma
tions upon which peace depends"

ing the labor councils questions

member of the League in putting
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-17

down a rebellion of its subjects or
conquered peoples?
Answer-It does not.
2-Under the Covenant can this
nation Independently recognize a
government whose people seek to
achieve or have achieved their in
dependence from a member of the
league?
Answer-The independent action
States in a matter of this kind is
In no way limited or affected by the
Covenant of the League of Nations.
3-Under the Covenant are those
subject nations or peoples only that
are mentioned in the Peace Treaty
entitled to the right of self-determI-
nation or does the League possess
the right to accord a similar priv
ilege to other subject nations or
peoples?
Answer-It was not possible for
the Peace Conference to act with
regard to the self-determination of
any territories except those which
had belonged to the defeated en-
pires. but in the Covenant in the
League of Nations it has set up for
the first time in Article IL q forum
to which all claims of self-d eternii-
nation which are likely to disturb
the peace of the world or the good
understanding between nations
upon which the peace of the world
depends can be brought.
4-Why was the case Of ireland
not heard at the Peace Conferences?
And what is your position on the
subject of self-determination for
Ireland?
Answer-The case of Ireland was
not heard at the Peace Conference
because the Peace Conference had
no jurisdiction over any question of
that sort, which did not affect ter
ritories which belonged to the de-
feated empires. My position on the
subject of self-determination for
Ireland is expressed in Article IL
or the Covenant in which l may say
1 was particularly interested, bc-
cause 1t semed to me necessary fol
the peace and freedom of the world
that forum should be created to
which all peoples could bring any
matter which was likely to affect
the peace and freedom of the world.

VOTE "YEs ON CHARTER AMENDMENTS

1t is extremely important for the good and well
being of the city of Morris that the amendments
the city charter which to be voted next Tuesday
should pass.
The amendments have been explained in these
columns BEFORE and the issues very simple.
The first amendment raises the highest possible tax
rate 20 mills to 80 mills The city has been hit by
the prevailing high prices for labor and material just the
every other business institution has, and must
have money to pay its bills. The city needs to
buy road drags, fire hose, and must keep
up it's ordinary running expenses but everything costs
much than it formerly did that the taxpayers
must pay more.
The second amendment gives the commission auth
ority to issue certificates to extend the payments
for street improvements and paving number of
years. instead of being compelled to for such improve
ments all in year. This is great advantage, and
there be possible objection to it,
The amendments carefully considered by the
Board of Freehoders before being submitted and they
should accorded unanimous approval by the voters

Here's a Sample of True Bolshevik Methods

Here's sample of the methods used to spread unrest
and class hatred and economic disorder by publications
less interested telling the truth than in advancing
revolutionary propaganda.
The Grand Forks, N. D., American of the organs
of the Farmers NonPartisan party recently printed
editorial commenting the "fact" that "a certain Col

of Commerce of Pittsburg that gas military weap-

commented that the plutocrats planning to

Feeling sure that this Interpretation of what had
been said gross Misrepresentation, The National

that the only basis for this story is that Raymond

But Tear Gass is not deadly gas at all. 1t causes
discomfort without serious injury The plain purport of

PUBLIC sYMPATHY TURNING

The greatest industrial conflict in twenty five years

union labor goes into this conflict without the sympathy

exist today, and of the demands that being
made by city workers would not tend to correct these
inequalities but actually aggravates them.
