The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1919-09-12
THAT SIX TO ONE FAKE

with a fake copy.
The covenant consists .of a "coun
Gil and an assembly"
The council is the controlling body
and is composed of the 1--WE big ma.
ftions that were at war with Germany
to-Wit: Great Britain, France, Italy
Japan and the United States.
In the council those nations have
one vote each-one having just as
much weight as the other-and the
covenant can in no wise be changed;
no measure can be enforced unless
it has the unanimous consent of the
entire council.
The article providing for the coun-
| Gil can be construed in no other way.
It can have no other definition nor in-
Iterpretation.
The smaller nations had to be con-
sidered-they had to have recogni.
ton, so what is known in the cove.
nant as the assembly, was provided.
In the assembly all the smaller ma
lions have representation: Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Por.
tugal, Siam, Brazil. Hedjaz, etc.
The assembly elects four OF it's
number to serve on the council with
one vote each, the same as the orig,
inal five.
If the recommendations OF the as
sembly meet with the approval of the
council-which approval must be
'unanimous-the recommendations be.
come part Of the covenant.
1t may be likened to the congress
Of the United States which is COM
posed of the house of representatives
and the senate.
The senate is much the smaller
body and the smaller states have as
much weight in it as the larger ones.
). ALI appropriations Of money must
originate in. the house of representa-
tives but. to become effective must
have the sanction of the senate, so
Florida has as much weight in the
congress of the United States as New
York or Texas, but it would have
greater weight if it took an unani,
nous instead of a majority vote to
adopt measure
So it is with the league of nations
the United States has the same
weight and an equal voice with Great
Britain with all Of her outlying DOS
sessions.
Or it may be likened to the estab-
lishment Of central bank or other
large corporation.
Say that there is a big bank or 9th
er corporation established in Ocala
with hundreds of shares Of stock held
in other cities.
Let us say that Jacksonville holds
fifty shares, Tampa fifty shares, Or
landO forty shares and Gainesville,
Micanopy, Citra, Mcintosh, Dunnal-
lon, Bushnell and other smaller
towns, q smaller number of shares. .
Each shareholder has a vote but
the organization provides that the
bank shall be conducted by q board
of directors and each town whether
holding one or fifty shares shall be
entitled to one member on the board
of directors with one vote each.
We shall call the meeting of the
stockholders the assembly and the
board of directors the council.
The assembly meet and suggest OF
recommend to the council certain
changes. notifications or an entirely
different policy in the conduct of the
bank.
- These recommendations to become
effective must meet with the unani-
nous approval of the council. b
So under the operation Of such a
system, in the conduct of the bank,
Citra. Mcintosh and the smaller towns
will have just as much weight as
Jacksonville, Tampa, and the larger
cities
The league Of nations is built on
! the same plan and its great object
is to give recognition to the smaller
as well as the larger nations
It's great and fundamental object
is to prevent the recurrence of wars
so the young men of the nations shall
not perish in the vigor and beauty OF
their manhood to crafty the ambi-
ton OF the worlds HohenzolIerns
and Hapsburgs.
1t deserves the tribute applied by
/ Gladstone to tha ron ctif,,t;or oe -
