WHAT'S IN THE NAME?

Behold how great rumpus has
been made over two little words as
used by two great men. 1t was as if
President Wilson and Premier Glenn
enceau had bendied epithets, and called
one another names because the one ex-
pressed his ideals about a league of
nations and the other talked about an
alliance of nations. The difference in
words has entered the arena of discus
sion, and Premier Clemenceau is made
to appear as if he had challenged Pres
ident Wilson to fight to the finish at
the peace conference. If Premier
Clemenceau is knocked out there will
be a league; if President Wilson is
knocked out there will be an alliance
The words are regarded as things in
themselves; things that have no iden-
tity of any sort, and are exclusive
of one another; things that are by ma
ture antagonistic
In intention, it is not too much to
say that both President Wilson and
Premier Clemenceau have the same end
in view. The thing in itself both are
seeking is that thing which shall be
able to keep the peace of the world.
They are agreed on that, though Pre-
mier Clemeneeau may prefer to call
that thing an alliance, while President
Wilson prefers to have it called a
league.
| So far as the words are concerned, it
would seem that there is no reason
for making so much ado about them
as if two considerable and charitable
statesmen had come to the point where
their friendship ceased, and were now
discordant and belligerent. BY defni
tion, an alliance of nations is a union
between nations, contracted by com
pact, treaty, or league. BY definition
a league of nations is covenanted al
| lance or coalition of different states
for the promotion of common object.
or interests. The common object il
this case is to secure the peace Of
the world. President Wilson objects t,
an offensive alliance or league. 81
does Premier Clemenceau. By the def
nitions of the two words, alliance ant
league, by all the association of thei
use, they are synonymous. AS long a
the representative of France and tn
representative of the United States ar
in agreement over the object of thei
strivings, are seeking the same thins
in the covenant to be made at tn
peace conference, it seems to be mos
foolish to suppose that they are goini
to quarrel over the name by which tina
covenant shall be called.

The first week of 1919 has come and
gone and we are fairly started on the
new year. Never have we faced great
er responsibilities, never have we faced
greater opportunities. VIII we take adj
vantage of these opportunities to do a
greater and better work? Let us try to
be of service to the many, to share
with others the good things of life, as
sumo the responsibilities with a smile
and all pull together. We're off.
