RUSSIA 4 Menace
McDermOtt Urges Fleets In
stead of Treaties for Protection.
TOpekan, Returned From Over
seas, Before c. of c. Today.

"Personally. 1 would very much rath-
er have the British fleet between me
and the advancing legions of Russia
than any contract that was or ever
will be drawn
This was the statement made at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon by
Lieut.. George McDermott. of Topeka,
who has just recently returned from
duty overseas. He is now discharged
from the service and is resuming his
law practice in Topeka
When the statement was made Nc
Dermott had been speaking of the pro-
posed league of nations. especially the
disarmament clause. He asserted that
in his opinion Germany knows she is
whipped-but does not know that she
was in the wrong and is therefore un-
repentant and in the course of the
next generation or two will again he
a potential war-making nation. Nc
Dermott pointed to Russia as the one
great menace to the peace of the
world in the immediate future. He
showed how certain men with no pre-
vious experience in the welding of
power of any sort have seized and
taken unto themselves a power un-
limited And having abrogated this
power to themselves, they can muster
to their banners the untold resources
of men and natural resources of one
of the biggest nations on the globe
NAtIOnuI
It is to meet this menace that Nc
Dermott advocates the maintenance of
national armies-not for aggression
but for the proper protection not only
of the peace @ the individual coun-
tries but of the peace of the world.
And in backing his statement with his
experience and sensations McDermott
said that when 1 was on my way
across I was a whole lot more salts
fled and felt a lot safer with five or
six British destroyers plunging and
whirling alongside my transport than
/ would have been with the best con-
tract ever written in front of me-"
McDermott pointed to the facts of
| broken treaties as a proof that con-
tracts-treatieS-ar not considered
especially binding when nations wish
to go to war Germany violated her
contract with Belgium; Italy violated
| her treaty with the central powers;
the United States violated her treaty
with Belgium, when for three years
| she refused to come to the aid of the
allies. Britain alone observed her
| treaty-She went to the aid of Belgium
at once tho possibly the reason may
have been that Britain knew the
| struggle was aimed at the very throat
of the empire.
The lieutenant stated that in his
| opinion the greatest guarantee of the
peace of the world will be the forming
| of firm national friendships based on
mutual understanding and respect. He
said that with such a feeling existing
! between nations there would not be
need of any contract Of any sort.
| In his speech McDermott touched
on other subjects of lesser importance
| and ones which are not so much in the
' PUBLIC eye at present as is the league
| of nations.
At the Chamber of Commerce to-
morrow noon a special program has
| been arranged. The Washburn Glee
| club and orchestra have the noon hour
in charge and promise to entertain the
diners with plenty of music.
