The Message Which Ended Peace.

The text Of the telegram sent fiv,
years ago to-day by BEBoHroLD, the
A ustro-Hungarian Minister for For
eign Affairs, to PAsHITcH, the Serbian
Prime Minister. was as follows:
THE Royal Serbian Government
not having answered in a satisfactory
manner the note of July 20. 1914.
presented by the Austro-Hungarian
Minister at Belgrade. the Imperial
and Royal Government are them
selves compelled to see to the safe
guarding of their rights and interests
and. with this object. TO have re-
course to force OF arms. Austria
Hungary consequently considers her
self henceforward In state of war
with Serbia"
The whole is a model Of brevity and
clearness in spite of the hooking false
hood Of the first clause. 1t was the
eliminating decision of that league Of
nations in which Germany was the
guiding spirit and the strong hand
The small and now forgotten states
men between whom the Telegram
passed did not know, for nobody could
guess 1t, that the telegram was q
draft on Europe for the life Of ter

Useless Talk About League Amend.
ments sLater On"

Senator BEoKHAM Of Kentucky
speaking for the League last week,
uttered first the general apology for
the covenant which most Of Its sup
porters find 1t necessary to make and
then proceeded to its future:
But It at least comes to US with a
promise that II given fair trial. II
improved where improvements may
be found necessary later on and II
supported by the civilized Govern
ments of the earth 1t will certainly
be q tremendous advance over all
previous plans and one that may in
reality fulfil the dream Of its most
enthusiastic advocates. a worldwide
and an enduring peace"
We wonder whether Senator BECK
HAM has read the document which
he appears to believe can be changed
at will. The future Improvements
of which he speaks could come only
through amendments to the present
covenant. Article XXvI. provides:
Amendments to this covenant will
take effect when ratified by the mem
bers OF the League whose representa-
tives compose the Council and by a
majority of the members of the
League whose representatives COM
oosa tha Asaau,hlv
AS it is provided In Article V. that
except where otherwise expressly
provided in this covenant or by the
terms Of the present treaty, decisions
at any meeting Of the Assembly or of
the Council shall require the agree
ment of all the members Of the League
represented at the meeting" 1t is
manifest that the adoption Of an
amendment to the covenant would re-
quire the unanimous vote Of all the
members of the Council present, not
to mention a majority Of the Assem-
bly, representatives.
The Council, as now constituted in
the document under consideration by
the Senate, is made up of represen-
tatives of the principal Allied and AS
ISOLATED Powers and four other mem
bers of the League. Tho Council con-
sists in the present covenant Of the
representatives of the United States,
the British Empire, France, Italy.
Japan, Belgium. Brazil, Spain and
Greece. without the unanimous
agreement of the representatives of
all these Governments-or as many
as might be present at a meeting
there could be no amendment.
Let us suppose that the League has
come into being and that at a meet

1t is nonsense, 1t is all but witless,

markets under the price levels Of our

foreign labor, Of foreign industry, of
foreign existence, under the very law
Of self-preservation, will compel the
ravenous trade invader to leap and

agree with these statements and
know that many railroad offioials. many
bankers, many business men agree with
them. But how in the world are you
to expect the politicians of the House
of Representatives and the United States
Senators and affiliated politicians to- re-
linquish their grasp on the Interstate
Commerce Commission
To satisfy myself that the statements
made by Hard Pan" that the commits
sion is nothing but a political body were
correct I have taken the trouble to note
tho record in one or two particulars OF
tho commission since It's inception in
| 1887. There 10 no record Of the number
Of employees Of the commission prior to
| 1905. It Is only within the last fifteen
years. I believe. that the commission
has been perlneated, saturated, deluged
with politics. During that time. from
1908 to 1919 inclusive, the number OF
employees has grown from 17s to 2,s1s,
| and In 1917 the total number Of en-
ployees was 2,26<.
The number OF employees for the fiscal
year ending June 80 1920, Is not yet
known. but II In needless to say that
they are not less than those OF 1919,
II n safe to add that there isn't men,

these appointments represent part Of

clans.
