preparations which are absolutely
necessary for the maintenance OF
the government and the fulfllment
of its varied obligations for the fiscal
year 1919-1920 have not vet been

year is at hand: and action upon
these appropriations can no longer
be prudently delayed. 1t is neces-
sary. therefore. that 1 should inn
mediately call your attention to this

ECONOMIC PRESSURE.

Advocates of the League of Nations lay
great stress on the method OF enforcing the
mandates OF the leagues supreme council on
refractory or delinquent nations, that of eco
nomic pressure" In plain words, this means
the boycott. Whenever nation falls under the
displeasure of the council, it will be subjected
to the inconvenience of being isolated, deprived
of all commerce and communication with the
members OF the league, and caused to endure
whatever of suffering may thus be entaied.
Conceivably, this is terrible punishment.
With all the nations bound up in close agree
ment, only one completely self-contaned could
hope to withstand the pressure so exerted.
Therefore force of arms would not have to be
employed to bring the recalcitrant back to har-
monious relations with the steadfast
Several questions suggest themselves in this
connection. In time of war and especially I'M
der modern conditions, the establishment of an
effective blockade is all but impossible. In
1915 the combined navies Of England, France
and Russia were not sufficient to perfectly bot
tie up Germany. The British council resorted
to the expedient Of paper blockade" in order
to cut off supplies that were being sent in to
the central powers. When the economic
pressure" is employed, will ships of war be less
necessary or more efficient? 1t may be ad
mitted that the sequestered nation would be
ready to pay literally for necessaries, and it is
just as certain that venturesome traders would
undertake to supply them. Could such a sub
stitute for war, which is war in another form,
bring the offender to termss
Would the League of Nations be permitted
to set aside the mail service, established and
maintained under another form of international
association Even in times, the passage of
ponents of economic pressure threaten to
suspend even this privilege.
For the practical workings of such scheme,
the present case of Germany affords an excel
lent illustrate Six months ago resolve was
high never to resume commercial relations
with the Germans, who were to be forever out
cast. 1t has been discovered, however, that in
order to enable the Germans to pay their debts
and meet the exactions of the Allies, they must
be permitted to sell their goods somewhere.
Will not similar condition arise in connection
with the boycott? Experience has shown that
only in limited way has the boycott ever been
effective, and even then its success has been
more apparent than real.
In world where ideals and aspirations
vary so widely, where the sense of right and
wrong is so elastic, and wherein selfish con-
Germ so often blunts the sword of justice mere
moral obligation" is less than rope of sand
for holding nations to their duty when interest
runs counter to obligation.

Opposes the Lane Bill.

Omaha. Sept. 13.--To the Editor of
The Bee: Now. when there is so
much talk about the generous re-
turn which our government is about
to make in the way Of a favorable
land bill for its honorably DISCHARGED
soldiers, sailors and marines for the
noble work which these brave lads
have rendered to their country in its
hour Of trial when dark days and
uncertainty were lowering over our
homes, let us consider the cheap
ness Of the bill which is being forced
upon congress for adoption and with
which the committee of investiga-
ton of the various land bills pro-
posed has presented to congress for
consideration and approval. This
bill Is known as 1.-The national SOL
diers' settlement act" or the Lane
plan," and was introduced into the
house by Representative Mondell of
Wyoming, but was conceived by
Hon. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of
the interior.
Its purpose is to reclaim swamp
lands, arid lands and cut-over tim
Der lands under the pretense Of aid
ing the eX-service man. 1t provides
employment for the honorably dis
while they are retaining the land,
provided that the men will consent
to be corralled in groups until the
land is reclaimed and improved.
When the land is cleared it Is al
lotted to the men by the secretary of
the interior, provided that these men
who proved up on the land can
make the initial payment of per
cent of the total value of the land.
These men will also be loaned an
amount not to exceed $500 for i'm
prOvements. provided that the
amount asked does not exceed rs
per cent of the improvements, Thus
it is seen that these men need from
81 900 to $500 to undertake such
a project, for If the men, after re-
claiming the land, were not able TO
meet the initial payments Of per
cent of total value of land. % per
cent total value of improvements
and 40 per cent total value of stock
and equipment, then it would be no
matter of concern to the government
