such means for settling difficulties
are provided. In the scheme which
Senator Harding has before him, the
increasing characterization of the
world provided foor, and all Govern
ments are compelled not merely to
consider, but actually to be govern
ed by, the attitude of the people
toward proposal TO go to war. In
brief, the one scheme is the perfect
complement of the other.
1t would be unjust to leave the sub
ject without pointing out-though it
is of course entirely obvious-that
the consideration Of this scheme by
the President and his counsel
lors affords an impressive rebuke and
Reputation of the pretense that op-
position to the Wilson Covenant was
inspired by opposition to peace it
self and to any efficient cooperation
among the nations for it's preserva-
ton. 1t is complete vindication
of the contention that the opposition
was merely to those features of the
Covenant which were undemocratic,
contrary to the principles and the
Constitution of the United States,
calculated to impair if not wholly to
destroy independent nationality, and
more likely to cause war than to pre-
serve peace. Here is scheme which
is simplicity itself, which at single
stroke gives far greater assurance
of peace than do a dozen of the OBJ
scure and equivocal sections of the
Covenant, and which interferes not
in an infnitesimal degree with the
independence and constitutional
sovereignty of any nation.
There could be nothing more ap-
propriate than that the United States
should take the leadership in estab-
fishing such a system throughout
the world. This country first among
great nations enunciated and estab-
lished the principle that no war
should be declared without the as
senting action of the representatives
of the people.
That was great step forward, for
humanity and for peace. 1t would
be a logical sequel, of at least as
great and probably of even greater
Importance and blessing to the world
for it now. to take the lead in enun-
ciating and establishing the prin-
ciple that no war--save in direct self
defense-shall be declared without a
direct mandate from the people them
selves, not through their representa-
tives but through a great and solemn
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-12-30

with and after the permission of alien
Powers. The present plan would
deny a Government the right to be-
gin an aggressive war, save with and
after the permissive vote OF its
people. That is at once an unpre-
cedented exaltation of democracy in
every nation, and unique guarantee
Of the worlds peace.
How great a guarantee OF peace
it is may be appreciated through con-
sidering how many, or how few, wars
in history would have been declared
and waged, had they been dependent
upon the vote Of. tn people,. There
would probably have been not one
in hundred years.
1t Is true that the prohibition ap-
plies only to aggressive wars. But
then practically all wars begin as
aggressive wars there can be no
wars at all, save domestic Insured
tons, which are not generally sub
ject to international jurisdiction.
Nor would the system interfer with
other legitimate agencies for the
maintenance Of peace.
One commentator seems to think
that it would clash with the scheme
of an international court, an dthat
cit is hard to see how Mr.. Root could
give up his World Court idea for
such revolutionary proposal" The
fact is that it not only would not in
terfere with the World Court, but,
as the critic just quoted practically
comedies in his next breath, would
materially strengthen and promote
it. Says that writer, in the New
York Evening Post, reporting Mr..
Roots remarks:
In world in which there are many
dynastic Governments, he explained,
many wars are of the sort that can
be described as incidents of dy-
nastic policy. 1t is not at present
obvious how wars of this sort can be
prevented. A Government deter
mined to have war at a particular
time and for particular purpose
cannot well be prevented from doing
so. But with the increasing de-
mocratization of the world, Govern
ments are being compelled more and
more to consider the attitude of the
people toward proposal to go to
war. Increasing characterization
connotes All increasing possibility of
avoiding war if the means be pro-
vided for settling international diff
culties by other mears than force.
In Mr., Roots World Court scheme,
