Submarine to Take
Liquor to Vessels

Washington, Dec. 27.-A report
reached the Shipping Board that a
prominent New York shipping firm
has offered to American ship own
ers the use of a submarine, which
would meet outgoing vessels at the
three mile line with stores of liquor
gathered at Bermuda and other
handy ports.
1t would also take for safe keep
ing from incoming ships what sur
plus of liquor might be left at the
end of the voyage.
Just why n submarine should be
necessary for this purpose is not
made clear, but the Shipping Board
believes the report to be true.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Calder, answering ali inquiry as to his
views on the proposed draft of legisla-
tion for league of nations, stated to-
day that he was in complete accord
with the resolution presented in the
Senate by Senator Lodge, which he,
with other Senators, had signed.

first duty of our peace commissioners
In Paris Is to seek an early agreement
on the peace terms so that the peoples
of Europe may at the earliest moment
resume peaceful pursuits. 1t is now
nearly four months since the armistice
was signed, and very little progress
has been made in that direction. Let
us have peace; let us bring our sol
diers back from France; and then, in
a deliberate manner, we can take up
the question Of establishing a league

pardoned the fear and the apprehen-
sion that if that day ever occurs it will
mark the beginning of the decline Of
the American Republic"
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, said:
in part:
THE American people believe in the
sanctity of their treaty obligations,
and, therefore, once entering upon an
arrangement like this, the fact that
it has the power to change its policy
is neutralized by the consequences
which would in all probability result
from so doing. Hence it is essential
that we know what we are doing, not
only as an entirety, but in every de-
tail, before we commit ourselves un-
reservedly to such an undertaking.

league is actually in session, all of the
powers of the government will be
vested in nine individuals sitting to-
gether and called the executive council
These nine men meet and issue an
order.
Power to Issue DEGREES
More accurately stated, there is
conhded to these nine men the power
to issue DEGREES affecting every nation
In the world; to construe these DEGREES
whep- issued. and to order their en-
forcement. This council of nine con-
tains within the limits of its authority
all of the autocratic powers which
characterize the worst despotisms of
tho earth"
After describing the form of govern
ment in the United States Senator
Reed said:
ut is now proposed to create an in
ternational government consisting of a
single body of nine men and to concen-
trate in it all three of the powers
have referred to.
"ln all that body, large or small, the
United States will have a single vote.
1t is, therefore, apparent that, for all
practical purposes, the government OF
the world within the powers granted
may be said to be vested in nine men
A combination of five men would con
stitute majority. Thus the govern
ment Of the world could be exercised
by five men.
Might Crush Republic
"Tho powers granted are stupendous,
dangerous and appalling. Their mis-
use might result in the destruction Of
the liberty of the world, in tho crush,
ing of the American republic, in the
creation of an international despotsm
worse than has ever cursed the earth
or any single nation thereof.
After pointing out that Article &
givoa tho executive council authority
to reduce national armamcnta, Senator
Reed aaid:
"Certan II is that if any nation
ever accepts the decision It ia there
after bound.
"This council also determines the
amount of munitions Of war that can
bo manufactured by nations. and also
the amount That can be manufactured
by individuals.

league or affecting the peace Of the

Gil or by the delegates consider the
