LEAGUE FLAYED
BY LAWMAKERS
Say National Security Or
ganization Was Munitions
Makers Tool.

The special committee OF the House
which has been considering the actiyi-
ties OF the National Security League
will make a lengthy report to Con-
gress tomorrow. bitterly condemninE
the practices of the organization and
attacking the motives which inspired
its leaders to analyze records OF
members of Congress.
The so-caIled Loyalty chart. showing
the votes Of members on preparedness
and war measures Is viciously scored
as prepared by individuals who knew
nothing OF the issues they elected to
criticize.
The report traces the source of
the funds CT the league and shows
that the greater part Of the dona-
tiOns We're from individuals connected
with large financial institutions di-
rectly connected with the manUfac-
the issue as to whether their inter
est in having the United States enter
the war before il did was animated
by patriotism OF 4 desire TO fatten
their dividends.
The report will further point out
the irreparable isjury done to menu
bers Of Congress through ignorance
and show that the loyalty of Repre-
sentatives was questioned when the
roH calls disclose that they voted
for every single war measure pre-
sented by the President and admins
tratiOn officials.

not. a prosperous iaboring class.
These nations-these have-nots-
are the menace to the worlds
peace. There is such thing as
international Bolshevism. And
Germany, Japan, China and the
South American countries might
organize great rebellion. which
would make our recent world war
look pale: for the coming war
would rage on every continent and
upon every sea- 1t would be the
real Armageddon. There can be
no doubt that the statesmen at
the peace table see this danger,
and France most keenly of all sees
this menace to the peace of the
world. For II the "have-nots"
ever organize their leader viii be
the Teutonic peoples. They are
the most civilized of the have
nots." and they have everything
but access to the sea and to raw
materials, And they are always
on the TANKS of France. America
is separated from Germany by a
wide ocean; Italy by a chain OF
mountains. England by a sea chan
mel, but unless Germany is pushed
across the Rhine, France Is de-
fonseless as she was in August
1914. So there are two minds in
France about the way to deal with
this great menace OF the "have-
nots" of the world: One is TO push
Germany back across the Rhine
and give France a slice of her coal
lands In the Saare valley; and the
other plan Is to give Germany ac-
cess to the sea-free access to the
sea north and south by river and
canal and neutral harbor ports,
so that she may lose her economic
grievance which forever breeds
war in the German heart. Per-
haps both minds have the truth in
them and 1t is more than likely
whatever relation Germany may
bear at first to the league of ma
tions-during her probationary
period. WI lie she is paying her in
demnity-sne will have to move
her forts back across the Rhine.

activities win be broadened; much,
but how much is uncertain.
Nothing Seems Sare.
or course while these things
seem reasonably sure at this writ
ing, nothing Is sure about the
league OF nations until 1t is form
ed. But one may observe the
trend Of discussions about the
league and assume that among
those features of the league which
still are In doubt. and in which the
balance OF doubt Is falling slight
ly toward the affirmative, are
these:
First-Some kind of an inter-
allied economic board is likely to
be the real basis of the league of
nations England seems greatly
disposed to continue the inter-
allied trade boards; the food ad-
ministratlon for few years, for
instance, the shipping board. pos
sibly longer. the boards interested
In raw materials. England, France
and Italy surely desire to make
labor conditions stable by interna-
tionaI cooperation. Labor is ask
ing for such international control
of shipping as will prevent food
and raw materials moving after
the dollar and away from the
need, to put II otherwise; so con-
trolled that profits will be assured,
Of course, not speculative profits,
but so that service will be the
prime reason that ships are on
the sea. Or to put II in still

ing internationally that though
there be more money in hauling
wheat from Argentine to Italy,
say, ships could be compelled to
make a rate that would transport
wheat to a place of famine. even
though the haul was shorter, or
longer, or less profitable. And
labor also has a lobby in Paris
looking to see that no Joker IS
slipped into the shipping clause
which shall annul the provisions Of
The La Toilette law!
Might be Continuous.
Second-It begins to look as
though the congress of nations
might be a continuous body. Two
plans present themselves. one to
have an annual meeting of the
congress to consider differences
that may arise during a year; the
other to have the congress of the
league of nations continually in
session, SO that at all times there
would be a center of international
interest, a place upon which the
minds of mankind always would
be focused outside their national
boundaries.
Third-It is most likely that the
principle of the famous Bryan
moratorium treaties will be adopt
ed by the league. providing for a
specified time to elapse before

cere attempt will be made to get
into relations of some kind with
the Soviet government.
Second-That the United States
will keep It's hands out of Poland.
and will not as the case stands
try to bolster up a bumper state
between the Teutons and the
Slavs. This bumper-state policy
may be regarded as the peace
scheme of the advocates of the bal
ance of power: it is an attempt to
quarantine Europe against Boil
sheyikism. America will have
none of il, and England probably
may be counted out.
Third-In the plan for the league
Of nations. America will surrender
nothing vital In the Monroe doc
trine, nor will she give up her
right to control the immigration
problems affecting America.
Fourth - Progressive disarma-
ment and rehabilitation to a min
imum will surely be a part of the
peace plan. Just how far the dis
armament will go is not settled
But it will start. The old race
for naval supremacy between
England and Germany, for in
stance, will not be duplicated be-
tween any two civilized nations
henceforth, and it may be pre-
sumed that the police power of
the league, whether IL is a ball
ance OF power or a more demo-
cratic organization. will not be
done by a joint military and naval
commission. Nations will be con-
trolled only negatively by the
league or alliance. Each nation
will agree not to use force in a
quarrel until the league or alliance
has passed upon the cause of the
quarrel.
Enter as NeutrnIs.
Fifth-Russia and Germany will
enter the league. If il Is formed at
all, as neutrals after they have
accepted and fulfilled the terms
upon which they may be admitted.
In that much it will be genuine
world league OF nothing. Ameri-
can business men who expected to
prOtiteer in a commercial world
from which Germany was barred
by trade agreements and CONNER
ctal penalties, must remember that
il German business is restricted,
it limits all middle class activi-
ties, and thus gives free rein to
BOlshevikism. Doubtless it would
be an unallOyed pleasure to put
the screws upon Germany, to shut
off her commerce and clap on
heavy penalties and see her
squirm. But, alas, the spectacle
would be costly to humanity.
Squeeze down her middle classes
and up come her BoIsheviks.
Moreover. disorder in Germany
will transmit anarchy to all
Europe. The Peace Conference
has that idea fairly well in mind
Germany will pay her penalties.
but she will hold her place in the
world Of commerce upon her mer-
its, and she will have access to
the seas.
Sixth-The penalties of Germany
viii be cash and territories. She
will pay France and Belgium for
damage actually done, restoring
such goods and machinery as may
be restored, and Germany will
keep her forts and military activi-
ties on her own bank Of the
Rhine. She will lose her colonies,

UnhalIowed Rites For Halloween.


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I have read the advice you gave for
Halloween parties and think it was
good. / am going to have party
tations should I have? And can you
tell me anything we could use for
telling fortunes. E. s.
simple rhyme which can be used
when the hostess finds it difficult to
originate one, is thef following
On Halloween, when witches ride,
Come and have your fortunes tried;
Well lift the veil and tell you true
Just what the future holds for you

you may arrange for them without

Rlindfold each in turn and let him or
her kneel in front of the tub holding
a tiny wand which is announced as
"a mystic hazel twig." If the hostess
is costumed as a witch to conduct
the ceremonies she could present the
twig with muttered incarnation.
Stirring around in the water the
player dips up the first peeling he
catches and losses it over his
shoulder The initial formed by the
peeling is that of the future life mate.
Fortune telling can be performed
with nuts in variety of ways. This
is very effective If carried out by a
witch or gypsy. A good and simple
means of divination with nuts IS
where each in turn has dish of nuts
passed to him and must choose one
from the dish taking the first one
that comes to hand From the size,
shape and other characteristics of
the NUT (its smoothness, perfection
or imperfection, etc. the seeress
deduces the description of the COM
ing man or woman in ones life.
