O. What element i'm Europe
favors the League of Nations:
A. In general, the moderate and
progressive elements.
Q. What European elements are
opposed to IL?
A. In general. the reacuonaries.
or extreme conservatives, and the
extreme radicals.
O. Why are the conservatives
hostile To the League?
a. Partly because the League is
new, and conservatism by instinct
hates anything new. Partly be-
cause the rich and powerful OF
Europe have in many instances
gained their riches and power
through standing armies, munition
manufacture, and the seizure and
exploitation Of colonies. From the
point OF view OF the upper classes
war is a military career, the most
honorable occupation for gentle
man.
q. Why arc the extreme radicals
hostile to the League.
a. The bOlsheviH and COM
munists are hostile 90 the League
because they hope for a worldwide
revolution 10 eliminate national
boundaries. They see in me League
Of Nations. which recognizes ma
tiOnalism, an obstacle TO this revolu-
ton. other radicals Of an idealiSt
type are hostile because that type
OF mind overlOoks human defects
and accepts only programs promis-
ing immediate perfection. And the
League Of Nations Is suill admitted
ly imperfect.
.. Docs this explanation OF hos
tllity 10 the League hold equally aS
good for the United States as for
Europe?
4. Yes. but i'm the United States
the reactionaries and the extreme
radicals are small groups. The bulk
OF the American people IS moder-
ately progressive
q. Why, then. has the United
states. alone among the great pow
crs. refused 10 ratify the covenant
OF the League?
\. Among the excuses given 10
the public by the members OF the
senate who are hostile 20 the League
are the following
G) That the covenant Of the
League is an imperfect document.
90 That America should remain
true 20 the policy OF keeping OF

South Bend Attorney Praises
War Record. of National
Administration.

Republican campaign orators and
others who misrepresent the League
Of Nations for political purposes
were fsyed last night by Atty. Sam
uel Parker IN a speech delivered at
democratic headquarters, ia +.
jefferson blvd.
'I en- getting sick and tired of
hearing the Leoxve OF Nations mis-
represented purelT for political pur-
And particularly am I sick and
tired OF hearing this misrepresenta-
tion about the six votes OF Great
Britain 20 the United States one in
the League" he continued.
Those who have read the League
covenant know that the council is
the executive body of the organiza-
tion, and know that each member
OF the council has one vote. They
also know that any action OF the
council must be by unanimous con-
sent Of the members.
Objection to League.
Before partisanship became para
mount among republicans some Of
the great leaders Of the party were
for the League Of Nations The
main objection TO the League among
republicans is that Il was brought
back from Paris by Prcs't Wilson.
the head Of the democratic national
administration.
This same League was looked
upon by many Of those who now
oppose Il as a means Of ending
wars for all time. or step i'm that
direction. IL was favored 10y such
men as former Pres't Taft and the
late Col. Roosevelt
None Of Us wants another war.
Tho present democratic admins
tratiou kept US ont of the late world
war as long as IL possibly could.
And when we were forced to enter
the conflict. the same democratic
administration made the best rec
ord in getting into action that was
ever made. OF course much money
was spent. but thousands of dollars
spent Is not worth the life Of one
American.
And one Of the great things that
came out OF the late war is this
same League Of Nations which at
least - a step toward preventing
other such conflicts. The oppoSi-
tion criticize the League because
since the covenant was brought
hack from Paris there has been one
rather serious war, that OF Russia
and Poland.
Lacks Moral support.
"But Russia is not "a member Of
the League. and the United States
has so far failed 20 enter IT, The
League does not have the moral
support 70 would have II the United
states were a member.
Atty Parker answered the repuh-
Ucan argument that il the League
were adopted by the United States
American soldiers would be sent 20
participate in European disputes,
and that this country would be em-
broued in European wars uy say
ing.
The first thing the League does
AGAINST a rccaICitrant nation is not
10 use bullets against that nation.
No. The first thing 20 be done is TO
employ tho boycott. And remcm-
ber this. no action can bc taken hy

CARSON GIVES
KLINE ORDERS
TO Get BUSY
Passes Vices Conditions Over
TO Chief of Police Fol
lowing Interview.

If you know of any houses Of

trict, 1 want you to get busy and go
after them and clean them out, g"
was the edict Mayor Carson issued
TO Chief of Police Kline when the
subject was broached in the chiefs
private office Friday afternoon. This
decision was reached on the part Of
the citys chief executive after he
had been in conference with news
papermen and leading police Off
cials for several hours.
Mayor Carson said that he knew
that vice conditions in South Bend
were more flagrant than they had
been for some time. but said this
was due almost entirely TO the rest
lessness Of people following a gen
eral relaxation from the tension Of
war He went on to say that in his
opinion conditions are no worse in
tkis town than they are in many
other towns of like size throughout
the country.

visions Of the covenant notably Ar
ticle Y, we should be forced 10 send

(5) That the British empire out
votes US six 10 one in the assembly
Of the League.
C6) That the League Of Nations
invalidates or tends 10 invalidate the
Monroe doctrine.
90 The real reason is that the
League covenant was negotiated by
Woodlpw Wilson, a democratic
president. whom the leaders Of the
senate majority hate personally.
.. But with regard to the first
objection, is not the covenant of the
League indeed an imperfect docu-
ment?
\. This is admitted by its strong
est supporters. But the covenant
was the best document which could
be drawn after the unparalleled
hatreds OF the great war, and at the
dawn Of a new era in world history.
The men who negotiated the League
found it necessary to reconcile
widely diverse points OF view. The
French, for example, wanted the
League 10 be "A strong military al
lance. its members bound 10 join in
a general war against any violation
Of its provisions. Pres't Wilson and
negotiators of other nations success
fully opposed this, realizing that il
meant the surrender OF too much
national authority, and that at any
rate public opinion would not con-
sent.
