ALASKA WANTS NO TRUSTEE.

Secretary Payne is quoted saying that the Government will make Seattle the trustee for Alaska That probably not meant to be taken literally. It metaphor rather than plain state ment At any rate Alaska wants trustee" What tho Territory wants is opportunity to develop. And H is fair to say right here notwithstanding the pres in Seattle most of the time of lot of politicia1 IS who would delight in serving trustee for the people of this Territory the real Seattle does lot want be trustee for Alaska"
 What Alaska needs of Seattle, and what the real Seattle is trying to do for Alaska, is for that ely to serve the capacity of big brother rather than as a trustee guardian.

The members OF the League win en-
trust the League with the general
supervision over the execution of
agreements with regard to trafnc In
women and children and the traffic in
opium and other dangerous drugs
This is drawn with the looseness
which characterfzes many Of the ar
ticies in this covenant, but it gives
rise to some discussion in the Senate
and finally we determined to include
1t in reservation. The reservation,
] may say. is based upon the provis-
ion of the League as to who shall
determine what constitutes a domes-
tic question, that is left in the League
to determine. Some of us were not
satisfied with leaving that in the
League. We thought there were
certain questions concerning the af-
fairs Of this country which ought TO
be regarded as domestic and we de-
termined that they should be made
domestic by our decision and not be
somebody's else. OF course. a con-
spicuous example was Immigration.
OF course. the power Of saying who
should come into the country and who
shall stay out is the FIRST Of sovereign
rights. for certainly there is no
superior sovereign right. For a ma
ton which can not say who shall
come into 1t within its borders and
who shall stay out but has that die

CENTRAL MAINE
POWER co.
Augusta, Maine

Here Senator Lodge quoted public
utterances Of Charles Evans Hughes
and Elihu Root tending to bear out his
contention.
ITO sum up in few words, Article
X imposes an immediate obligation on
the United States to use her armies
and navies whenever the political in
dependence or territorial integrity of
a member of the league is subjected to
external aggression; that is. is invaded
by another power. no matter how just
ifiable the act of the invading power
may be.
THE menace to the United States
involved in Article X cannot be over
rated. We met it with a reservation
and all that reservation did was to re-
lieve the United States from any obli-
cation under Article. X and left US alb
solutely free to refuse to fulfill the
obligation imposed by the first SEN
tence of the. article II the Congress
saw fit to do SO. This reservation the
accept. He would not permit any
reservations to Article y. In my
judgment no American who Is not
willing to have American soldiers
ana sailors sent to any country In the
world to fight and die in quarrels
which do not concern them could pos
sibly accept treaty which contained
Article X as II stands with it's fatal
and intolerable obligation"
Before beginning his prepared
speech. Senator Lodge said he wanted
to call attention ito one clause in one
article that has not been brought
much before the country in this cam
paign, because attention has been
concentrated chiefly on two Or three
Of the leading principles involved"

war under Article 10. The compelling
moral obligation would then apply
and Congress would have no choice
ana make the necessary appropria-
lions.
But even supposing that the Presi-
dent nominated a representative on
the Council to the Senate and he was
confirmed by the Senate. He would
be the Presidents selection and if a
question involving war were to arise
he would undoubtedly vote as the
President directed.
I'm other words, we come back to
the proposition that without such
minute precautions as were taken in
the proposed reservations one man
could involve the United States in war.
1t matters not If that one man is the
President. Under the Constitution the
Congress alone can declare war and
yet under this alliance called league
the President would have power to
involve the country in war before
Congress could act.
THE argument is made that the
could not be fulfilled un-
less Congress supplied the army and
navy as the Constitution requires.
OF course we can always disgrace our
selves by breaking an obligation. but
that. as I have already said. is a
means of escape never to be eonsid-
cred. If the obligation has. been in

be bound. unless they were going to
