New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1920-03-26

one class in the world a power 50
great that political governments would
be puppets in their hands, and yet In
the light of the happenings of the last
five years labor could not be Llamed.
The world is entitled to protection
against such slaughter as we have just
gone through. and If the political gov
ernments fail to take the necessary
steps the plain people will.
World Now Closely Knit.
Internationalism Is cOming-in fact
it is already here. Inventions have
brought the people Of the world close
together. The wireless and he cable
give US the happenings of remote parts
of the world in a few hours. Distance
has been destroyed. We are becom-
ing neighbors In knowledge of each
other, whether we live on the same
continent or not. Modern transporta-
ton is shortening the time
places. An air service Is in prospect
which promises to make London as
near new 10TH toLnoiio" u" N~sS
Is today.
We already have a successful inter-
nationalism In finance and credits. Big
business long ago obliterated national
lines. The m of the world Is
already organized internationally.
The important question at this time
Is what form will the new information
alism take? Will it be an Information
alism of organized dollars? y SO. the
world is In serious danger of a imam
cial autocracy. VIII it DE an inter-
n%ationalism Of organized labor? II
| this happens 1t means the dictatorship
of the proletariat. Both are equally
undesirable. No part Of the people
should be permitted to enforce their
will upon the rest. One kind of slay-
cry Is as bad as another. The great
majority of the human race wants
freedom, not advantage. 1t Is not am
bilious to dictate-it will not be die
tated to.
A League Of Nations is the solution.
II Is q union of the nations OF the
world. and as the nations of the world
represent all the people of the various
states such a combination Is demo-
cratic. That 1t is necessary Is
plain. Rivalry for markets. com
petition for trade, are bound TO
lead to wal unless We have an agree
ment that these and other problems
will be submitted to arbitration. IL
is not necessary to submit questions
involving national honor. Few OF suci
questions ever directly provoke war
1t is when nations fighting each Other
for markets reach a point of positive
disagreement that they begin calling
each other names. These insults
wound honor, war results.
Peace Table Proves Worth.
A League of Nations Is n eontlnu
ance of the peace table, and notwllh
standing the wranglings Of the pres
ent peace table there would have peer
war in Europe before this If 1t wa
not Sitting Ia Paris. Two cases serv'
TO Illustrate. The coal fields or uppe
Galicia, to be determined by a plebi
settle between Poland and German,
would have been a cause of war
the peace table was not In existence
Poland had troops on the border. Gel
many had her soldiers Mt the frohtiei
One thing, and n thing alone, pre-
, vented war-it was the fear OF IN
peace table. The same facts az
scribed the controversy between ~
land and Czecho- Slovakia; war ha
, been avoided by the peace table SUI
hitting the Teschen question to a vot
. of the people of the territory.
. No League of Nations will hav
. much effect upon the future peace {
Europe which does not Include IN
q United States. The nations OF EuroI
n do moi trust each other. Every OF
a respects the fact that he Unite
States does not seek territory In ~
rope. This gives our country II
commanding place as the n disll
terested power In the world. WI
. this moral force we can do much
maintain the peace OF the world.
: The propaganda Of revolution cor
! ing out of bolshevik Russia. urging u
: workers to organize an
y dictatorship Of the proletariat al
u seize the world, Is not nearly as ua
e perous to the peace of the world as Il
> political heckling against the Leag'
, Of Nations.
