the night birds envious: for Jim was

Those who talk of an inflated money
supply probably do not give proper
consideration to the fact that much
more currency is needed to carry on
the business of this country than was
required before the war. Just before
the war, for instance, the operating
revenue. of the railroads amounted 20
three billions of dollars. Out of this
was paid all operating expenses. main
tenance of ways and equipment.
wages. taxes interest. dividends. with
such balance as remained for surplus
Today the railroads pay out in wages
alone about four billions of dollars. a
third more than their entire pre-war
income. And it will cost immense
sums TO bring equipment up to the
pre-war standard, and make additions
and improvements needed.

Geneva, November 10th An inter

bly, of the League of Nations today by
Senator Henri La Fontaina OF Belgian
delegation. Senator La Fontaine some
what startled the Assembly, by declaring
that the world was not yet ready. for
disarmament. 1t is necessary to say
: frankly to the people, he. said, that
the time for disarmament mas pot yet
Come. Before, the world could, dis
arm, he added, entirely different ideas
than those that prevailed before the var
must be inculcated and applied he
proposed that the disarmament and ar
mics be compressed in an International
staff ready to be used in the cause OF
right in such a case as arose from the
present situation Of Armenia
Geneva, Nov. 10th, The first formal
step looking toward the revision III the
covenant of the League OF Nations was
taken by the Assembly OF the League
at today's session. The Dutch Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Dr.. Van harnabeek
introduced a resolution for reconsldera-
ton of article XIV. having to do with
nrovides that the reconsideration be
conducted either by the Assembly itself
or by a committee to make the meaning
of the article clear. DR.. Kafnabeek first
called attention to this article of the
covenant ar yesterdays session, and said
there were several interpretations of
the article which, in brief, provides that
treaties between nations Shall not be
binding until they are registered with
the League, and proposed that it be
studied carefully with a view to its clari-
f~ication. The text of Article XIV, reads:
, 1920-11-26

Every treaty of international engage
ment entered into hereafter by any
members of the League shall be forth
with registered with the Secretarlat and
shall as soon as possible be published by
it. No such treaty or international en-
gagement shall be binding until so regis
tered.

They are, Finland, Esthonia, Letyia. LIfhs

What is its size and population !? Is 1t

duct including both acts and assurances
with regard to its international obtiga-
tons ? The latter question is supposed
to have been inspired by the French
member If the Committee NJ. Viviani,
with a view to any proposition that may
be submitted to Elect Germany The
prescriptions of the League as to arma5
ments will also be considered with the
military power OF each application. In
the opinion of the delegations the first
weeks work of the Assembly has been
satisfactorily accomplished, even more
so than could have been expected, as the
conference has got beyond the chaotic
period of organization.
