The League of Nations
BY Lena Markham

A few days ago in an edition Of a
noon paper which was circulated, |
read news News which perhaps
startled the world-that George Gle
menceau, the great leader of France,
in the heroic war which has termin-
ated in her victory, was the object of
an assassin's bullet. Fortunately for
humanity's sake, Clemenceau lived.
| mention this, because it seems to
me that it is symptom of a disease
which is affecting the world and
social affairs. Assassination is a
weapon Of those who have taken up
the cause of international revolution
which is now beginning to be active in
the United States as well as in the
countries of Europe and which needs
to be cured by the establishment Of
definite and permanent peace.
There are two divisions of men
upon this question. One of these di-
visions advocates the proposition that
before we established present peace,
we should provide, by some as yet i'll
defined means, for permanent and
universal future peace. The other
division of men who are interested in
this great question believe in the con-
trary, that the first duty of the world
is to establish present peace, to re-
store order in Europe, and that in
stead of satisfying ourselves with
interest in the future welfare of man
kind the leaders of the government
should demonstrate their sincerity by
relieving the present suffering which
afflicts the world.
There is still another division o
public opinion upon this question.
They believe that permanent peace
cannot be secured for the United
States or for the rest of the world by
the traditional policies of the AM
lean government. Those who take
that view of the matter believe that
in order to arrive at a satisfactory
basis Of peace, not only must we
ignore and neglect the duty of bring
ing the present war to an end, but
that we should cast aside, as the re-
fuse of government, the great policies
of the past and adapt new policies,
and make, as they express it,
new order in the world.
The other party believes that the
great men who have formulated pub
lie opinion in America in the past,
shaped it's policies, and achieved its
greatness, were as sincere and as in
telligent advocates of peace-perma-
ment peace-as those who are in
charge of American affairs today.
So the question arises, was Wash
ington a friend of peace? Did he
desire the world to dwell in amity
and good will, one nation with an
other? And so the question arises
with what purpose did Washington
warn us against foreign policies? ?
was his purpose war, or was not his
purpose the same which is now pro-
claimed throughout the world to
secure peace, maintain good will
among nations, and security and
happiness among the people of
the world? / think that was
the object of Washington's advice
against entangling alliances. Was it
the purpose of Monroe, when he in an
earlier generation than ours, pro-
claimed that famous policy which
