for consideration and adoption by the
conference. He has meantime re-
turned home to discharge other exec
utive duties and it has given him
opportunity to note a discussion of
the league in the Senate of the United
States and elsewhere. Some speeches
notably that of Senator Lodge, have
been useful in taking up the league,
article by article, criticising its lam
guage and expressing doubts either
as to its meaning or as to its wisdom.
He will differ, as many others will
differ, from Senator Lodge in respect
to many criticisms, but he will find
many useful suggestions in the con-
structive part of the speech which he
will be able to present to his col
leagues in the conference. They will
be especially valuable in revising the
form Of the covenant and making res
ervations to which his colleagues in
the conference may readily consent,
where Senator Lodge or the other
critics have misunderstood the purpose
and meaning of the words used.
This covenant should be in the
treaty of peace. 1t is indispensable in
ending the war, if the war is to accom-
plish the declared purpose of this ma
ton and the world in that war, and
if it is to work the promised benefit
to mankind. We know the President
believes this and will insist upon it.
Our profound sympathy in his pur-
pose and our prayers for his sue
cess should go with him in his great

mise which the United States does
not under the league covenant to
obey. In all other respects these
bodies are mere instruments for con-
ference by representatives for de-
vising plans which are submitted to
the various governments of the league
for their voluntary acceptance and
adoption. No obligation of the Unit
ed States under the league is fixed
by action Of either the Executive
Council or the body of delegates.
Power to Agree to Boycott
Then it is said we have no right to
agree to levy an embargo and a boy
colt. 1t is true that Congress de-
termines what our commercial rela-
tions shall be with other countries
of the world. 1t is true that If
boycott is to be levied Congress must
levy it in the form of an embargo,
as that which was levied by Congress
in Jefferson's administration and the
validity of which was sustained by
the Supreme Court, with John Mar
shall at its head. 1t is true that
Congress might repudiate the obi
CATION. entered into by the treaty
making power and refuse to levy such
an embargo. But none of these facts
would invalidate or render uncon-
stitutional treaty by which the OBJ
legation of the United States was
assumed.
In other words, the essence of SOW
ereign power is that while the SOW
ereign may make contract it retains
the power to repudiate it, if it chooses
to dishonor it's promises. That does
not render null the original obligation
or discredit it's binding moral force.
The nations of Europe are willing to
accept, as we must be willing to accept
from them, mutual promises, the one
in consideration of the other, in con-
fidence that neither will refuse to
comply with such promises honorably
entered into.
Finally, it is objected that we have
no right to agree to arbitrate issues.
1t is said that we might by arbitra-
ton lose our territorial integrity or
our political independence. This is a
stretch of Imagination by the dis
tinguished Senator who made it at
which we marvel. In the face of
Article X, which is an undertaking
to respect the territorial integrity and
political independence of every men,
Der of the league, how could board
of arbitration possibly reach such
a result? More than that, we do not
have to arbitrate. If we do not care
to arbitrate, we can throw the matter
into mediation and Cancellation, and
we do not covenant to obey the rec
concentration of compromise by the
conciliating body. We have been ar
bitrating questions for one hundred
years.
We have stipulated in treaties to ar
bitrate classes of questions long be-
fore the questions arise. How would
we arbitrate under this treaty? The
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-04-11

form of the issue to be arbitrated
would have to be formulated by our
treaty making power-the President
and the Senate of the United States.
The award would have to be per-
formed by that branch of the govern
ment which executes awards, gener-
ally the Congress of the United States.
If it involved payment of money, Con-
gress would have to appropriate it. If
it involved any duty within the legis-
lative power Of Congress under the
Constitution, Congress would have to
perform it. If Congress sees fit to
comply with the report of the COM
promise by the conciliating body, Con-
gress will have to make such compli-
ance.
The covenant takes away the SOW
ereignty of the United States only
as any contract curtails the freedom
of action of an individual which he
has voluntarily surrendered for the
purpose of the contract and to obtain
the benefit of it. The covenant Gre
ates no super-sovereignty. 1t merely
creates contact obligations. 1t binds
nations to stand together to secure
compliance with those obligations.
That is all. This is no different from
a contract that we make with one
nation. If we enter into an import
ant contract with another nation to
nav money or to do other things of
vital interest to that nation and we
break it, then we expose ourselves
to the Just effort of that nation by
force of arms to attempt to compel
US to comply with our obligations.
This covenant of all the nations IS
onlv a limited and loose union of the
compelling powers of many nations to
do the same thing. The assertion that
we are giving up our sovereignty car
ries us logically and necessarily to
the absurd result that we can not
make contract to do anything with
another nation because it limits our
freedom of action as a sovereign.
Sovereignty is freedom of action
of nations. 1t is exactly analogous
to the liberty of the individual regu-
lated by law. The sovereignty that
we should insist upon and the only
sovereignty we have right to insist
upon is sovereignty regulated by
international law, international mo-
rality and international justice, SOW
ereignty enjoying the sacred rights
which sovereignties of other nations
may enjoy, a sovereignty consistent
with the enjoyment of the same SOW
ereignty of other nations. 1t is a
sovereignty limited by the law OF ma
tions and limited by the obligation OF
contracts fully and freely entered in
to in respect to matters which are
usually the subjects of contracts be-
tween nations.

Europe. AS the representative OF

MONEY Or YOUR LIFE

1t is bad enough to be held up and
robbed of your money and your
watch. But to allow waste matter
to be "held up" in your intestines
may be for more serious. You can
get more money; you can buy another
watch You may never be able to get
your health back. Constipation is the
"hold-up" man of the human system.
The food waste it holds up in your
lower intestines decays and generates
poisons. A poisoned system is the
result.
Over ninety per cent of human i'll
ness has it's origin in the intestinel
canal. Nature normally tries to get
rid of this poisonous waste. But when
she can't do the work single-handed,
you must help her in her own way
The LAXCARIN TREATMENT is
NATURES WAY.
The oils, castor oils, mineral water
habits are not natures way. They
play constipation's game-forcing and
upsetting the system.
Laxcarin acts easily, harmlessly,
naturally makes you regular as clack
work"
WARNINGM Laxcarin is sold only
by the distributors and it may not be
purchased in drug stores. Do not al
low the druggists to pursuade you in
to buying some cheap-and perhaps
harmful-substitute Write us direct
we will gladly mail you as much
Laxcarin as you wish by return mail.
You may suffer from substitutes.
1t is the best to order enough for
a full treatment if it is a case of
long standing, or if it is to be used as
a family laxative. Six boxes only
cost five dollars, but they are worth
to the sufferer a million times as
much. One dollar will bring you one
box. Send money order or register

they would be in Riga by midnight.

they made the fiercest attempts.

miles from Riga. The artillery fire
was extremely heavy and the Let's
