The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-05-17

Is concerned, made a kind OF treaty
Of peace which can only be imposed
by force, for which execution can only
be assured by continuing application
of force, and it is puerile to imagine
that Germany will abide by the terms
of the treaty of peace one day after
the force behind them Is dissipated.
The league of nations covenant may
prove in time a sufficient basis of in
~terventional relations between nations
allied against Germany in this war. and
neutral nations. Between these there
is no outstanding difference, old or
new, which might lead to var inevi-
tably, although the f1ume question has
supplied unmistAkabie warning. But
when it comes to Germany the fact is
absolutely clear that for a period of
time necessary for the fulfilment Of
the terms OF the treaty Of peace. the
league of nations ana, more exactly,
the United States, Great Britain and
France, must be guarantors. In real
ity, we have only in part made peace
with Germany by this document, If it
shall be accepted by Germany,
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-05-17
Must Give Guarantee.

The proof of this lies in that sup
Elementary agreement between the
three great powers which IL to be sub
mitted to parliament and to congress.
We have made France in this treaty
OF peace executor Of the will of the
Of occupation along the Rhine with
the British fleet In the North sea, will
be the sole forces which we shall have
to compel Germany to continue, year
after year, to pay billions Of dollars
and turn over new ships to complete
the work Of restoration. A nation Of
5000, 900 can not indefinitely exercise
restraint upon a nation Of 60, 600, 900.
We have, therefore, to give to France
as our representative to insure the
execution of this treaty a guarantee
which amounts to a pledge that if as
our policeman she IL attacked we shall
come to her aid without question.
This, then, is the only settlement and
the league of nations Is not more than
u basis Of association between victors
and neutrals in the recent war. The
theory that the league of nations would
be an association of all the powers,
enemy and neutral alike, at the close Of
this great struggle necessarily vanishes
with the reading of the terms of peace.
| do not think that anyone in any
allied country will regard the terms as
too drastic, but l do believe that it is
essential for everyone to recognize that
they have a character, both for the i'm
mediate present and for a long future,
which will place Germany In such a
condition that her loyal adherence to
the league Of nations, carrying with 1t
her voluntary consent to go on almost
indefinitely playing just, but tremend-
Gus, sums Is impossible, In a very real
sense, then, we shall continue In a state
Of war with Germany for a long time,
until she has paid the price we have
fixed. As she RECEIVERS her strength,

ALASKA DELEGATE SEATED
 WITHOUT DISSENTING VOTE

SEATTLE. July g. A Times spec ial from Washington says that Dele gate George B. Grigsby. from Alaska was seated yesterday without dis senting vote upon former speaker Champ Clark's motion. The House took no action following Delegate Grigsby's statement that the last Alaska Territorial legislature passed a law providing that election results could be sent to the canvassing board by telegraph. James Wickersham con- tented that the returns were incom- plete on account of long distance from which to come.
 The Times special dispatch says that Wickersham did not tell Congress of the law permitting returns by wire.
 Grigsby and Wickersham are to take testimony in the Alaska contest which will probably not be decided un- til after the completion of the next session.

A general good roads movement
has been organized, a meeting of
which was held at Montpelier, July
10th. The greatest fault with the
roads is insufficient patrol which is
plain to everybody and not the whim
of any person. The time will soon
come when highway officers who I'M
dertake to build and maintain roads
will have to ender strict account of
their stewardship.
We are thankful that the roads
were never better on the trunk line
from North Stratford to Norton Mills
but there is still chance for improve
ment; and, if the taxes received from
the unorganized towns and cores are
not diverted where they don't belong,
we will have a boulevard within two
or three years.
Our advice is for road commission
ers to watch their step.
