PAGE SAYS LEAGUE
IS HERE TO STAY
Former U. S. Envoy to Italy
Believes Original. Wilson
Plan Was Stronger.

Cross Atlantic Cable Service to The Star.
LONDON. December 1S.-That the
league Of nations is an accomplished
fact. but that 1t would be more effec-
tive IL it were more completely in
harmony with the original Wilson
plan. was the statement Of Thomas
Nelson Page. former American am
bassador to Italy
THE league of nations is here to
stay" he said. .It probably is not as
strong as it might have been had its
trainers carried out the Wilson prfn-
ciples. Nevertheless. it's an existing
entity. and the great humanitarian
idea Tor which It was founded-the
termination of all war-has gripped
the world effectively. 3s,
Discusses Mr.. WiIson's Work.
II think Wilson's work has been
successfully accomplished, and his
place in history Is as secure as that
OF Washington. In this great associa-
tion of nations, which the President
aptly called the Monroe doctrine of
the world, the United States must
and VIII take its place. 1t is the only
nope OF the world against war. The
solidarity of the associated powers
prevented us from being beaten in
the war. and the same solidarity must
continue. else humanity may be beaten
and crushed. -
without Italy we would have been
beaten. Without any other single
country. Britain or France or Amer
lea, we could not have won. Each
was an essential link in the chain.
and this chain must remain unbroken
now to perpetuate peace. The part
Italy played in the war is not Een-
orally appreciated because It is not
generally known. But it was most
important, even colossal--her holding
Of the Austrian hordes, whose fight
ing qualities were SO fierce that at
one time even the Germans couldn't
equal them" -
Talks OF Defense Treaty.
Asked his opinion on the projected
Anglo -French-Italia treaty Of de-
fense to strengthen the present en-.
tente. which has been suggested as
the result of Lord Derby's proposal
for an Anglo-French treaty of de.
fense. Mr.. Page said: -
Il don't doubt that some sort of q
strong entente is necessary, though
it is contrary to the principle of the
league. which eventually will be so
mighty an instrument that such en-
tentes and treaties Of defense will be
unnecessary and abolished"
Mr.. Page came here with his
family to see his daughter, who has
been seriously i'll. He plans to GO
to Paris after Christmas to study the
political conditions there and in other
continental countries.

given as one of the main reasons why
Poland might again take up arms. 1t
is German belief that Russia also
would be glad of a reason for fresh
attack on the Poles. the oft-repeated
theory being advanced that without
war and its patriotic appeal the foun-
dations Of the soviet government will
become unstable.
The latest news dispatches received
here have 1t that the Russians are
massing troops along the Ukrainian
and Galician front. and that the atti-
tude Of the soviet government toward
Poland Is becoming more intolerant
daily. One report seriously predicts
the outbreak of new hostilities early
in 1921. The German nationalists
claim to be in possession of plans and
letters showing that the fnterned red
soldiers in Germany will break out of
camp and attack the Poles from the
rear, ransacking German territory.
The government is not taking these
assertions seriously.

ROME, December 1S.-The industrial
crisis in Italy is demanding settle
ment. The question seems to be. shall
the government subsidize or other
wise assist the war industries during
the return to peace. or shall it leave
them to their own resources?
Premier Giolitti is supposed to have
promised the metal industries aid at
the time he forced them to accept the
principle of syndicate control. 1t de-
yeIoped during the recent debate in
the chamber that the banks OF ennis
sion have been authorized to increase
the already prodi gious paper circu-
lation' in order to grant new credits
to the steel industries.
Now the socialists have seized upon
this pretext to bring bitter attacks
against the proposed measures for
Increasing the cost Of bread. Italy's
finances require that bread shall no
longer be sold at such a loss. this
being no less than 1000, 100000 lire
NORMALLY $1.400, ,000. .000) annually.
The soG alists argue that the govern
ment cannot really be short OF money
if it is willing to increase the paper
currency and harm exchange, and
that, anyway, class legislation which
gives bread at special price to the
Workingmen is preferable to class
legislation which harms the national
finances to please the steel million

army and missionary authorities in
Chteptao, .Manchuria, over the ques-

Information secured in advance from
this Japanese consuls in the district,
designating the men to be killed and
the villages to be destroyed.
The Japanese also express regret at
the possibility Of mistakes having
been made through such hurri ed
methods. Figures already secured by
the Canadian Presbyterian mi ssion-
aries in the Chientao district indicate
that more non-Christians than Chris
tians were killed.
Ninety Persons Shot.
In the Changsan district, including
several scattered villages, 1870 houses
burned and 80 persons shot, according
to the reports. Among these places
was a non-Christian village of 80
houses and 70 persons 1t was en-
tirely destroyed as penalty for CIV

soldiers.
One village located in a dense for

and scorched trees now mark its site.
After executing the men the Japanese
troops loaded the women and children

Korean border, forty-five miles south
Along the Pyungkang river-the
name signifies Peaceful Valley"-the
troops pursued a Korean force be-
yond the Thunpaoshan mines. Homes
were burned and men killed in nearly
every village.
Koreans claim that in Najaikoa
valley, 100 miles north Of Lungkhing-
thun, 500 out of 1000 homes were
burned and 900 persons executed
They made the charge that in some
instances the bodies were hacked into
fragments and piled in heaps SO that
the remains could not be identified

the valley, but they emphatically
oeny that any atrocities of the kind
described occurred.
Several Converts Executed.
Several converts of the French
Roman Catholic missions were ex-
ecuted, while in one village a Chinese
temple and school was reported burn
ed. Out of 120 schools and churches
owned by the Koreans under Cana

twenty were destroyed. In Oltogo,

LEAGUERS ANGRY AS
REST OF TICKET is
TRADED FOR WHEELER

Helena, Oct. 6-Trouble is brewing
in the ranks of the Nonpartisan league
candidates now running on the Dem
ocratic ticket in Montana, according
to word circulated around political
centers in the capital city. The lesser
candidates on the ticket, it is said,
have discovered that the so-cailed
Irregular" Democrats who are stick
ing by Wheeler in the campaign, are
trading off votes for the remainder of
the ticket in an effort to secure the
election of the head of the state list.
This naturally has aroused some re-
sentiment against those Democrats who
are backing Wheeler.
It is rumored that there must be a
showdown soon and those Democrats
who are backing Wheeler in his race
for the governorship will be asked to
declare themselves for the whole tick
ct. Certain Nonpartisan leaguers are
reported much put out by what they
term an effort of Democrats to "cut
in" on the patronage that, must issue
from the governors office in the event
of Wheeler's election. They scent dan
ger to the remainder of their ticket
picked at Great Falls and at the same
time believe that they are about to
lose their share of the plums.
