The League of Nations
BY JOSIAH T.. REED.

mendation, it shall thereby ipso faco
be deemed to have committed an act
of war against all the other members
of the league, which hereby under
takes Immediately to subject it to the
severance of al trade and financial
relations, and the prohibition of all
intercourse between their nationals
and the nationals of the covenant
breaking state, etc. The members
Agree, further, that they will mu-
tually support one another. in the fl
nancial and economic measures that
may be taken, that they will mutu-
ally support one another in resisting
any special measures aimed at one of
their number and that they will af-
fosl passage through their territory
to the forces of any of the high con-
tracing parties who are cooperating
to protect the covenants of the
league
This is an agreement for an i'm
mediate and automatic boycott, or
outlawry, of the offending state by
the members of the league-ccrtainly
| a vigorous form of sanctions. highly
unlikely to be defied the more so, as
it would almost inevitably involve war
with all the nations in the league.
Whether it was intended that the
state which in violation to the cove
nant, levied war on one member of
! the league should be ipso facto at war
with all the rest does not seem to me
clear. The covenant does not say so,
for an act of war IS not necessarily a
state of war, and yet the provisions
about the passage of troops, and a
clause in the same article that the ex-
ecutive council shall recommend what

butte to the arm ID forces to he used
to protect the cov"n1n's of the league,

Moreover, M. Bourgeois. the only
| one of the four members of the "om-
mittee speaking on the presentation
of the draft whose remarks throw any
| light upon this point, said: Take Il
state that violates the international
covenant, That state is supposed to
be in state of war against all the
members of the league. 1t seems to
me that it would be wiser 20 have It
so. because the fact that an att?ak
against any members would auto
matically mean war with all the 9TH
ers would he stronger deterrent,
would render such an attack, and the
| general war it would inevitably en-
tail even more remotely improbable
than an apparently smaller penalty.
Whatever the intention. it ought.
of course, to be made perfectly clear
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
/ I'VE hear the dread expressed. Are
we to send our sons, abroad? But il
we make an agreemnt of that sort
and the nation who violates has got
to go to war with the whole world

II is proposed. at least indirectly
to abolish the coordinate principle by
making one department of govern
men supreme over the others. That
is, of course, in accordance with the
presidents notion that he is the only
real representative of the people, that
his chair IS the real Throne of Ad-
ministration, and that ii has ben all
wrong for congress to assume such
powers as it has. 1t is proposed to es-
tablish a system of irresponsible per
sonal governpent. under which the
president shall have the powers of a
British prime minister without any of
his accountability.
Commenting upon the opinion of the
president that the time has come for
changes in the constitution which ii is
his duty to observe. and to institute
new practices and interpretations, the
editorial asserts that such opinion
does not mean treason. 1t comedies

OUR OBLIGATIONS,

AS we have seen, the present cove
nant for the league of nations does
not involve turning over any sover-
eign power to world legislature. Our
obligations under the covenant may
all be determined IN advance with the
utmost definiteness. 1t becomes i'm
perative, then, to understand just
what agreements we make. The most
important ones have to do with the
elimination os war.
/ shall quote the ANALYSIS made by
President James Lowell of Harvard in
the recent debate between him and
Senator Lodge I quote the text IS
corrected for publication:
THE principal obligations assumed
by the members of the league are:
ITO respect and preserve as against
external aggression the territorial
pendence of the member of the league

II do not mean to comment as | go
along, but Senator Lodge has referred
to that and said that if that had been
in existence we could not have taken
Cuba, that France could not have
joined against England with us in the
Revolutionary war. But | want mere
ly to add that. had there been such
league with that provision, this late
war could not have occurred. Was the
Spanish war by which we took Cuba
worth this war? That is the sort of
question that we have to decide.

FEARS SOCIAL AUTOCRACY.

That veteran campaigner of the
democratic party, Colonel George
Harvey, who was one of the foremost
workers for the political advance of
Woodrow Wilson. is out in a caustic
editorial in Harveys Weekly.
HAS the republic played OUT is
the caption of the editorial. Some
party leaders," it declares, are lead
ing in a revolutionary proposition for
changing the form of our government.
We do not mean an |. w. w. or Boil
shevist conspiracy or bloody revoln-
ton. But It is a far more dangerous
movement under the forms of law.
And il is led by some of the foremost
members of the government"
For the first time is proposed the
abrogation of the Monroe doctrine,
declares Harvey. THE president
claim that its provisions can be ex-
tended to cover the world is disproved
by the doctrine itself, for the very es-
sence of it IS that it is reserved ex-
clusively for the United States and
this hemisphere, as every one but the
president, can see. And to extend ii
to all the world would be to de-
stroy it."
But aside from the attitude of tho
president with regard to the Monroe
doctrine the editorial finds strong OBJ
lection to departures from the ma
tional policies which have been fol-
lowed by parties in past direction OF
the government. These policies are
thus set forth:
We have always had two major po-
litical parties, differing widely on de-
tails of government. They have both
stood for the maintenance of Ameri-
can independence and the retention
of republican form of government
for coordinate powers among three
departments Of government; for i'm.
personal and representative govern.
ment; for the upholding of the Mon
roe Doctrine, and for vind!cation OF
the principles and prescriptions of the
constitution.
That Wilson and some others of thu
party leaders have abandoned rea
democracy and are going the limit
even exceeding orthodox socialism Il
asserted as follows:
Now the leaders of great part!
not merely propose but work for re
versal of all these things. They pro
pose to supplant democracy with ;
form of socialism. 1t must be borne
In mind that the president and SOM
of his chief colleagues are more so
cialistfc in their beliefs and policie
than many avowed socialists. and tina

upon the country measures and sys

JAPAN BUCKS.

The fair spoken baron at the head
of the Japanese delegation in the
Paris conference has announced that
if Japan be insulted by a league de-
claration for limitation of Asiastic inn
migration, and no such rule be fixed
as to other nations. Japan will stay
out of the league.
The Japanese statesman put up a
very comforting soporific in saying
Japan did not wish to flood any
country with unwelcome people. but
did not wish to be Inundated by hav-
ing the world declare for putting up
bars.
Probably not without knowledge Of
the construction that might be put
upon his words, the oriental baron
added that Japanese were not too
proud to fight" though too proud to
take a back seat in the game of in
ternational affairs.
The United States has always sue
ceeded, though with some difficulty
immigration from Japan, though that
little aggressive country has had a
chip on its shoulders for some years.
Processing the greatest friendship
for the United States Japan has been
ready at all times to break, if the
Pacifist coast exclusion attitude
should be openly endorsed by the con-
gress of this country.
| President Roosevelt at one time
sent our navy around the world as
an object lesson of our power.
Whether it was Germany or Japan
that he most wished to impress, has
been a mater of conjecture. But
prior to that Japan was regarded as
resentful toward us. Germany was
using propaganda to further the re-
sentiment, the japanese say, since they
have broken with Germany.
president Wilson was so disturbed
by the Japanese attitude that he sent
Secretary of state Bryan to the Cali
fornia legislature to disclose conf
dental facts to prevent legislation to
which Japan objected.
However, we have managed to
avoid serious trouble with the japan
csc, just as we have kept off invas.
ion of South America and freed Mex.
leo of usurpers by our American doc
trine of tolerating no interference
from abroad.
If it should ever be within the
power of world league to negative
the right of America to say which ma
tons should be free to flood this land
then the United States would have he
hands tied.
When President Monroe declared
that no European power should inter
fere in affairs of this hemisphere
Japan was not considered as a sourc,
of danger. We have however, by tn
same attitude. kept Japan from colon
ization in Mexico.
Following the maxim that Coz
helps those who helps themselves. tn
best course to pursue Is to trust NOR
in ourselves to keep America safe
than upon a league of varying inter
ests and changing views even though
we join the organization.
Trust in God but keep your powde
dry was good philosophy when ut
|, tered.
Trust a league but do not sink on
warships, is the idea of England AM
America today.

"In the DaY'S NcWS."


General Mangin, selected to lead,
the prospective allied advance into
Hungary, is q French officer whose
brilliant fighting in the late war made
him world-famous. In August, 1914,
he commanded brigade; three weeks
later so swift was his promotion, he
was in command of a division, And
from that day until the cessation of
hostilities his work was as brilliant as
1t was successful. Mangin has been
called "Foch's counterpart" And, in
deed, there is a striking similarity be-
tween the two men. Both give the
same impression of great mental force
combined with physical strength.
Each has the same cool, clever. cal
culating brain and infleXible will; the
same gift of swift decision and indif-
ference to what anybody may think
him; and each has made the science

ly interesting history is connected
with this ship. During the war
with the Barbary powers in 1903
she was Commodore Preble's flag
ship ir the Mediterranean and
played a conspicuous part during
the whole war. Lieutenant Wads-
worth, who was blown up before
Tripoi in the i'll fated Intrepid
was one OF the officers Of the Con
stitution. In the course of the wal
with England in 1912 the English
papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke Of her as "a bundle oi

Captain Hull she captured thu

of nearly equal force, the people
who had before ridiculed her caileC
