AMERICAN LEAGUE
OF NATIONS PROPOSED
In Order to Prevent Aggression and to
Settle Inter-American
Disputes.

Monteyideo. April 2l.--Formation o
an American league" on basis of alb
solute equality between all American
nations for common action against ag
gression threatening any one of then
from outside nations and for arbtra
ton of inter American disputes wa,
proposed by DR.. Baltazar Brum. presi
dent of Paraguay, in addressing stu
dents OF the University of MontevideC
| tonight.
As a step in the formation of such a
league, DR. Brum declared, other Amer.
lean countries should make a declara.
ton similar TO the Monroe doctrine
placing them on the same footing az
the United States for joint action
against European aggression and 10
secure the solidarity of the American
continent. He said the proposed league
should be formed without prejudice to
adherents to the league of nations and
that, should any member Of the Amer.
lean league" have a controversy with
the league Of nations, that nation
should ask for the cooperation of the
American league" in settling the CON
troversy.
After praising the United States for
entering the world war in defense of
the rights of all peoples, among them
the independence and territorial integ-
rity of American countries from dan
ger from victorious Germany, and cit
ing reasons for the maintenance Of
f,-fa H. L. TTaeNaI
and other American countries, notwith-
standing differences of language, DIR.
Bum said in part:
"Pan-American policy Is, in short, a
deep brotherly sentiment II i pure
iy continental and does not interfere
in any way with our good understand
ing with Spain, Portugal, England,
France, Italy or other European eoun-
tries, with which we can maintain
most cordial political relations and the
closest economic ties, granted they
show respect for our personality"
Taking up the Monroe doctrine, be
pointed out how il had constituted
on the whole, an efiicaeious safeguard
TO the territorial integrity of many
countries
DIR. Brum asserted the entry Of the
United States into the war was an
ma ticipated application Of the Monroe 1
doctrine" adding:
Owing to the state in which Eu- I
-opean countries remain after the 4
struggle, Il may be said that fear of T
invasion BY them in America has been 4
removed for many years
But is that sufficient reason for us

France lies in position between the
devil and the deep sea, having Germany
on one side and the Atlantic ocean on
the other, Fearing the devil and not
being willing to be driven into the
deep sea, France proposes to arm her
self against the attack of the devil by
maintaining an army of 100000 until
her erstwhile enemies show evidence of
good will" We fear it will be a long
time before those enemies, especially
Germany, show any evidence of good

somewhat belligerent attitude, or at
least an attitude of preparedness for
such eventualities as history shows

The Associated Press is a non -parti-
san organization, so when the members
drank a toast to President Wilson at
the annual meeting in New York this
week the toast was to the president of
the United States and not to a Demo-
crat. Incidentally, there was consider
able significance in the toast as pre-
scented by President Frank B. Noyes of
the Washington Star because it carries
the implication that President Wilson
is still very sick man. He said that
the usual toast for health is more or
less perfunctory but in the present case
il was very different, "for very ear
nestly, very hopefully and very sim
cerely we drink to the health, the full
restored health of the president of the
United States" We trust that Senator
Moses of New Hampshire took full cog
nizance Of the words as uttered by the
Washington Posts head. The words
are in sharp contrast to the almost ex-
ultant note in Senator Moses letter of
some months back in telling OF the i'll
ness of the president.

Among the political items of interest
to Vermonters is the following taken
from the Rutland News of April 90:
Frank w. Agan of Ludlow, candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination for
governor, was in Rutland to-day on
political matters and took lunch at The
Berwick with Howard L. Hindley."
These repeated visits tend to confirm
the impression that this is a personally
conducted campaign.

for better industrial conditions sor in,
an attempt to make clear to American
people what their victory over Ger
man Autocracy ought to mean to them.
/, Now we regard this victory chiefly
as the defeat of militarism: and, therefore
we stand solidly against the doctrine Of
Universal Military Training which the.
American Legion, under the influence
Of capital, strongly advocates. We be.
lieve that if it was necessary to demon
strate to the world the evil of militarism
of the great work most surely proved
that war-ike establishment leads to
war: For this reason we do not propose
to stand by, after sacrificing what we
have, to behold our America the prey
of the same devil that proved the dam
nation of Germany. We do not pro-
pose that the awakening interests Of
America in the people of Mexico and
South America that must mean for the
economic life of all of us an invaluable
stinulous, shall be smothered under
the jingoism Of selfish capitalists who for
the present opportunity to snatch a
few dollars would condemn ever their,
own sons to be hated by subject peoples.
Hence we have declared our unutterable
opposition to the plan to make an armed
camp of this nation.
We realize that we cannot accom-
plish our aims alone. For this reason
we have welcomed the cooperation
Of trade unions, of liberals everywhere:
and we have recognized the cooperation
by forming the Civilians Auxiliary to
the World War Veterans. Any, civilian
who desires to enroll in this organiza-
tion is given the official button whereby
he may be known for his faith in us and
for the cause for which we stand. We
most earnestly urge all who are symp-
pathetic with theaims of which America
has set forth in the famous fourteen
points of President Wilson to rally with
us about the Stars and Stripes in united
effort to finally establish the peace Of
which we have been, or are being robbed,
the peace of industrial freedom I'M
weighed by the call of arms saving the
defence Of America from enemies who
threaten that kind Of peace.

because we are not in the American
Legion. We remind our critics that the
World War Veterans was organized
long before the American Legion was
conceived. For reason we scarcely
need to explain the organization was
suppressed by army authorities. Later
a group Of army officers were gathered
in Paris under the auspices of these
authorities and the American Legion
was the result. Since the meeting Of
those officers the Legion has grown, to
be sure, but under the auspices still of
the military caste and the privileged
classes who have used it often in a most
scandalous manner to affect their own
