STOP THE MEDDLLNG

After all the allied governments that have been at war
against Germany for the past four years have spent months
drawing up q treaty of peace as nearly satisfactory to all OF
them as il is possible for the greatest statesmen of those re-
spective countries to draw it, and, because of the immensely
of the task almost bringing all Europe to anarchy on account
of the delay in establishing a final and lasting peace, along
comes the United States senate, in all is wisdom and tells the
representatives of practically all the civilized nations of the
earth that they do not know what they are about. They say,
by inference, that the United States senate, under the leader
ship of Senators Lodge and Knox, are the only ones capable
of drawing up a proper treaty and therefore all the work OF
the past six months should be thrown to the winds; struggling
and starving Europe should be left to struggle and starve a
while longer while the peace as dictated by the United States
senate is drafted over again and presented to Germany for
signature.
OF course, anything that will help to disrupt the all1es
and bring chaos among the respective allied nations is just
what the Germans want. They find in the United States SEN
ate a ready and willing assistant---far better than they had
anticipated.
No wonder Paris is astounded with the latest news from
Washington. No wonder the thinking people---the, people
who have been holding back the tide of Bolshevism in France,
in England and in Italy for months--are almost in despair by
The latest turn of events at Washington.
If the American people want a lasting peace and desire
that the allies have an opportunity to build up their devastated
lands they will write to their senators and insist that they stop
meddling with an affair that is fraught with the gravest dan
ger.

CARNIVALS HEARD FROM

Reports from various cities where carnivals have been in
progress this summe more and more vindicate the determined
stand taken by Mayor Dorsey early in the season against hold
ing any carnivals in this city during his administration.
Today we read of two Railway fremen who had been
sworn in as special deputies at a carnival in that city being
shot and seriously wounded Saturday night during a disturb
ance at the scene of festivities. The carnival was for the ben
eft of the Railway Fire Department.
A few weeks ago a similar carnival was held in New
Brunswick 1t developed into such a scandal that it was made
the subject of a special sermon by a pastor of one of the New
Brunswick churches.
Perth Amboy has had her experiences with carnivals. We
want no more of them. It is to be hoped that the precedent
established by Mayor Dorsey will become a fixed policy with
all succeeding administrations.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Great Britain has just started to raise another popular
loan. 1t is known as the Joy Loan,and is for $4,000, $1,000.
Here is food for thought for those little Americans who
complained about the last Victory Liberty Loan offered here
as well as for those who declare that it will be impossible
TO ever float another popular loan in this country.
The people of Great Britain were feeling the pressure OF
war for nearly three years before the United States got into
it. They had already noated numerous loans, largely TO pay
for supplies made in America, before our first Liberty Loan
was even thought of.
While we, the people of the United States, were growing
fat and prosperous our brothers across the sea were already
sacrificing and suffering. Now, when we are told that we are
through as far as lending our money to the government is
concerned, we find those who began long before we did, are
still at it.
The war is over, to be sure---at least we hope it is over,
although Foch and Pershing have started back for the Rhine
.ready for any eventuaIties' should the Germans refuse to
sign the peace treaty.
But the bills are not paid.
That is the reason we, in this country, noated the Victory
Liberty Loan after the armisice was signed. That is the rea-
another great loan amounting to five billion dollars.
To be sure, we could do it again, too, if we had to. We
could do it many times over and still not be called upon to put
up as much as the people of Great Britain have been called
upon to lend to their government.
We know that the American people are just as loyal and
patriotic as the people of any other nation. But we hate to
hear so much grumbling' about backing up the government
when what we are called upon to do is so insignificant
compared with what the people of other nations are doing and
have been doing for four years past.

II these figures show the potenual
force of the League, they show also
the need of such a League, the neeo
of a close and honorable cooperation
among the members, and not least the
need of watchful attention to the de-
yelopments in central and eastern Eu-
rope.
independent Action Not Barred
The second article of the Covenant
provides that its action shall De et--
fected through the instrumentality OF
an Assembly and a Council, with a
permanent secretariat. This means
that SO far as the members OF the
League act through n common or
gans these are the ones through whlch
they act. 1t does not mean that they
are not to act directly without the IN,
tervention of any organ of the League
whatever. To hold such a view would

Article x the members bind them

gard to the Council or Assembly.
Under Article XVI the boycott or
blockade is to be set in operation i'm
mediately by the members, without
waiting for action by the Council
which has no discretion to authorize
or forbid 1t. This is true also OF the
obligation to furnish mutual economic
support and allow the passage OF
troops. Again the agreements for ho-
name treatment of labor, etc., impose
obligations directly upon the members
of the League.
How direct these obligations upon
the members are, how much is le1t
to their automatic action, and how
restricted is the authority of the or
gans of the League will be seen more
fully as we proceed to examine the
several articles of the Covenant.
To meet criticisms made in America
a clause was added to the first article
permitting any member of the League
to withdraw after two years notice.
Such a withdrawal ought not, OF
course, to be permitted, in order to
avoid obligations already incurred;
and 1t is therefore very properly sub
ject to the provaso that these have all
been fulfilled at the time of the with

THE PURPOSE
land II
Members of the LRaQue

The original members of the League
are those who are admitted without q
vote of the Assembly, and therefore
without giving guarantees of their
sincerity and without regulations In
regard to their military and naval
forces. These countries are enumer'
ated in the Annex to the Covenant
and they are divided into two classes
The first list comprises all The coun.
tries, except Russia, that declared war
or were deemd to have taken part in
the war, against Germany. They are
thirty two in number, including as dis
tinct members India and the -four
largest se~lf-governing colonies OF
England. The second list contains the
names of thirteen states, being all
those neutrals ddring the late wal
which have free and stable govern
ments- The chief nations not in these
lists are Germany, with Austria-Hun-
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey. her allies
in the war; and Russia, whose politi-
cal future is as yet wholly uncertain.
Need OF Preponderance
Assuming that b countries named

ceptions. Join tn League, it is inter-

the preponderance of the League may
well depend the question whether il
will prove an irresistible force for
peace and justice in the world, OF
merely an alliance hat may be op-
posed by q counter alliance on the dis
credited system of balance of power.
Russia, after the loss of Poland,
Finland and the Baltic provinces, has
still some hundred millions of people
of Slavic race; but at present they are

Germany, a part of Austria Hungary
