LEAGUE DISCUSSED BY
PRINCETON PROFESSOR
Tells Women Voters at New Cen
tury Club it Should be Elini
mated From Peace Treaty.

An audience Of women At the New, Cen
turv Club last night heard Dr. J. Duncan
Spaeth. professor OF English literature at
Princeton University, on the League Of
Nations The contention Of the professor
was that the League should have been or
should be separated from the Treaty OF
Versailles He sad the whole question
had been unnecessarily complicated by
the President insistence on tyIug the two
together in one document tie declarded
the treaty Of peace must necessarily be an
instrument of force embodylrg a military
settilment or recourse. The covenant Of
the League of Nations attached to 1T
is and must necessarily be an Instrument
Of adjustment through judicial body
whose decisions NAV be maintained or up
held by force or cconomlc pressure, hut
whose decisions are not reached by these
processes Our signature Ia the treaty,
az il stands, would commit us To obhga
tions Of the government, aud thus make
the League of Nations an instrument for
the maintenance of the definite status re-
sultirg from the treaty
THE League cannot at one and the
same time guarantee the maintenance OF
the status resulting from the treaty. TO
those who profit under IT, and guarantee
redress to those who consider themselves
wronged under 1t. II can do one or the
other. but not both 1t can guarantee
Shantung to Japan or Germany Tyrol
to Italy, or il can offer an opportunity for
the return Of these provinces to their own
nationals II cannot do both II the same
time To attach the League To the treaty
makes il do both Two double crosses do
not make a straight line

Already, Inc says, there Is n conaldcra-
BILE number Of carpertcrs and hricklayers

near future arc not very encouraging
This discouragirg situation, says this con
tractor, is largely due TO the prevailing
high rate Of wages, which discourage build

make the situation worse, md ~ the end
