The COvenanter Letters
Written by William Howard Taft George w Wckersham A.
Lawrence Lowell Henry w. Taft, to Make Clear
Articles of League Covenant


Grafton among the members and not
least the need Of watchful attention
10 the developments in central and
eastern Europe.
independent Action Not Barred.
The second article Of the cove
nant provides that its action shall
be effected through the instrumental
ity Of an assembly and a council, with
permanent secretariat. This means
that so far as the members OF Ae
league act through any common or
gans these are the ones through
which they act 1t does not mean
that they are not to act directly With
out the intervention of any organ OF
the league whatever. To hold such
view would nullify many OF the OBJ
legations which, if one can use the
expression, are personal and direct.
For example, i'm Article X the mem
bers bind themselves individually to
preserve and protect Cne another's $
independence and integrity against
external aggression, the council only
giving advice en- the best means Of
doing So When under Article XIII
two members go to arbitration they
10 it without regard to the council or
assembly. Under Article XVI the
Boycott or blockade is to be set in
operation Immediately by the MEM
bers, 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 humane treatment of
labor, etc, impose obligations di-
rectly upon the members OF the
league.
How direct these obligations upon
the members are, how much is left
10 their automatic action, and how
restricted rs the authority OF the or
gans of the league will be seen more
fully as we proceed to examine the
aeveral articles of the covenant.
To meet criticisms made in Ameri-
ca, clause was added to the first
article permitting any member of the
league to withdraw after two years
notice. Such withdrawal ought not,
Of course, to be permitted, in order
TO avoid obligations already incurred
and it is therefore very properly sub
ject TO the proviso that these have
all been fulfilled at the time of the
withdrawal.

Richmond, Va, March 29.-May 4
has been fixed as Victory Liberty
Loan Sunday, it was officially an
nounced by the war loan organiza-
tion here. Lewis B. Franklin, direc-
tor of the war loan organization of
the United States treasury, stated in
telegram received in Richmond
that the above date had been set to
avoid any conflict with the Easter
services of Sunday, April 20.
Coming just after the middle of
the Victory Loan campaign, it is hop
ed that this Sunday will be observ-
ed as a special day of thanksgiving
for victory. Every minister in the
Fifth Federal Reserve district will
be asked to cooperate to this end.
Ministerial unions will also be ex-
pected to participate. Sunday
schools and Bible classes will be re-
quested observe "Victory Sunday"
as the Easter season seems a fitting
time for day of rejoicing and
thanksgiving.

thought good enough before, the shoe
repair shop will not stitch by ma
chinery and the job will be finished
with nice machine edge. The down
to date shoe repair shop will have
workmen skilled in putting new
counters on shoes, or new box toes,
or cutting a shoe down at the top,
or putting new fancy heels on wo-
mems shoes. Good leather is used
for soles, heels, and uppers. Silk and
linen thread make strong apd sight
ly job. The best quality is demanded
in Furnishing inks, finishing wakes
and cements.
Some idea of thrift possibilities in
shoe repairing is given in the fact
that Uncle Sam will spend in the first
six months of this year nearly $S,-
100000 for cobbling. army shoes.
This provides for repairs costing
about $120 a pair on army shoes
that cost $7.15 a pair new, and each
American soldier will have three
pairs of shoes mended within that
period. With shoes for civilians
costing 81 to $40 pair, it is consid-
cred thrift to spend $3.50 to 81 for
modern mending by the latest ma
chine methods. Money thus saved
can be we'll invested in interest bear
ing war stamps.
