These Enthusiastically states are
made a court of appeal for inter
national disputes.
They will elect four of the nine
members of the executive council,
which is intrusted with power to re-
gulate araments and to recommend
measures of coercion.
In case of disagreement between
the "big five" Britain, France, the
United States, Italy and Japan these
untrustworthy states would hold the
balance of power.
The inclusion of so many low
grade states would be a constant
opportunity for intrigue on the part
of ambitious nations.
ID The United States would have
the same vote in the body of dele
gates as Hayti.
This Nation would be morally
bound, if the occasion arose, to send
troops to fight in possible war be-

force a decision in a dispute between

Speaking Of the recent British sem

Mr.. Holsby says:
"Of course the embargo will give
help in some fields, relieving the sit
uation in the manufacture of tools
and machinery, for example. But
you know there is now to be a Pro-
tective Tariff duty on all goods com
ing into the country. This has be-
come a necessity. England has al
ways been a Free-Trade country
and in making this change the pol
icy of hundreds of years is reversed
"a policy that made England great
for centuries. Wages have increased
there in a greater ratio than here,
and labor vii not permit wages to
be decreased"
This is precisely what the American
Economist has been saying right a
long. In this issue of February 21,
1919, the Economist discussed Eng
glands return to Protection, and
demonstrated that that course was
absolutely necessary for her. Now
comes confirmation of the Econo-
mist sposition. England must resort

to Protection to save herself economi-
cally and politically.
In the face of this fact, and the &C

Made in u. S. A.

The end of the war is but the be-
ming of world contest for trade
and the people of the United States
must continue to show their patriot
ism, display their flags and constantly
safeguard our country, just as much
as when we were at war. Now the
slogan must be ''Made in U. S. A, -
and men, woman and children should
join the big industrial army in car
rying this slogan to every city town
and hamlet, so that American goods
will be pre-eminent and the only
goods recognized by the loyal peo-
pie of the United States.
The masses have enjoyed wages
unprecedented in the history of the
world. They should not be called
upon to suffer a lower wage, and if
the people will back up the manufac-
turers in firmly establishing the
''Made in U. S. A" ticket and buy
nothing else, with some Tariff adjust
ments and immigration restrictions,
the high standard wage will continue.
Display flags featuring ''Made in
U. S. A" Talk it and sing it. Pub
lie sentiment is easily influenced and
the textile industry from mill presi-
dents to operatives should be en-
thusiastic supporters of the made in
U. S. A" idea and push it along
wherever they may be.
Textile salemen are the best boom
ers in the country, and on trains and
boats and in hotels, they can do great
good by talking "Made in U. S. Al

Nations"
Before a crowded Senate, Senator
Lodge made an able address against
the proposed Wilson "Ledgue of Nat
ions" His points were, that it
would mean an abandonment of the
tual Abandonment of the Monroe Doc
trine, the abandonment of our con-
troll over immigration and other
domestic problems, and the substi-
tuition of government of the United
States by foreign people and foreign
governments, in the place of govern
ment by our own people. In the end
said the Massachusetts Senator, such
League would promote war instead
of peace.
Mr.. Lodge added this solemn warn
ing: owe are asked to move away
from George Washington towards the
other end of the line at which
stands the sinister figure of Trotzky,
the champion of decentralization
We must build no bridges across the
chasm which now separates
American freedom and order from
