LEAGUE A COALITION

AUTOMATIC USE OF ARMS

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-That the League
of Nations as drawn at present is actu-
ally war coalition instead OF a peace
agreement was the assertion made to-
day by DR.. David Jayne Hill.
DIR. Hills summary of the covenant
came in the course of an address on
"Preliminaries OF Peace" before the
American Association for the Advance
ment Of Science Conceding that the
league has reasons for existence. DR..
Hill at the same time denied these rea-
sons were related in any way to the
cause Of world peace. He added:
"Why neutral nations or nations not
associated in the war nor directly re-
sponsible for the particular peace i'm
posed should be Incorporated in the
league is a question that requires an
answer. The obvious answer is that It
Is Intended to maintain the future peace
Of Europe by an armed coalition.
That this really Is the purpose of the
existing League of Nations is evident
from the pledge contained in Article X.
to preserve Internationally the terrific
rial integrity and political independence
OF every member of the league, and from
the provision OF Article XVI, which de-
clares that state of war with all the
facto whenever q member fails to com
ply with the obligations Of the covenant
In express terms. therefore, 1t Is a war
league. not peace league; since peace
Is to be preserved not by voluntary
agreement but by a dread of war.
'The conclusion Is inescapable that
the league Is a compact for the exercise
OF economic and military force to be
brought into operation automatically
whenever provision of the treaty Is
violated
AT present. it Is true, the league con-
tains the nations possessing the greater
military strength; but II does not follow
that this will always be the case, espe-
cially II there should be dissensione
among the members Of the league. Al
most, the league represents only small
preponderance of military efficiency, con-
ssting chiefly in the possession Of supe-
rlor armament, and not at all in num-
bers The retention Of this preponder-
ance will require the enforcement of the
policy of preventing the non-members
from arming while the members continue
to maintain their armed forces. But this
Is, in effect, a continuation Of latent
state of war.
when civilization is attacked It will
always find means to defend itself; but
civilization can never be more plainly or
more fundamentally attacked than when
a self-constituted combination of Powers
assumes the authority to say that ma
ton shall not vindicate its rights by
force of arms when there is no other
available means of redress"
