is precisely what America has already
done? Have we forgotten that we

of dollars and sacrificed nearly hun
dred thousand lives to settle a Bal

There was a controversy between
Serbia and Austria. Territorial ques-
tions, political rights and boundary
lines were involved. The crown prince
of the house of Austria was assassi-
mated. A little flame of war licked
up into the powder house of Europe,
in flames. 1t took all the power of
civilization to put out the conflagra-
ton. How idle to inquire whether we

les of the League offer better meth
od of preserving the peace of the
world, they are not entitled to one mo-
ment's consideration In the forum of
the conscience of mankind.
Not only does the covenant guaran-
tee justice for the future but it holds
the one remedy for the evils of the
past. AS it stands today. war is the
one way in which America can ex-
press its sympathy for the oppressed
of the world. The League of Nations
removes the Conventional shackles of
diplomacy. Under the covenant. 1t is
our friendly right to protest against
tyranny and to act as counsel for the
weak nations now Without an effec-
tive champion.
Tc Existing League.
The republican platform contains a
vague promise to establish another or
la different form of association
amongst nations of a tenuous and
shadowy character. Our proposed
co-partners in such a project are un-
named and unamable. 1t is not
stated whether it is proposed to invite
the nations that have established the
present league to dissolve it and to
begin anew, or whether the purpose
is TO establish new association of a
competitive character, composed of
the nations that repudiated the exist
ing league. The devitalizing character
of such an expedient requires no COM
ment. Fatuous futilty could be car
ried no farther There Is no mental |
more transparent than that
which expresses fealty to league of |
nations while opposing the only league

exist. Why close our eyes toactual

and the intent of the president was
1 that there could be no peace until we
could create situation where no such
war as this could recur."
Former President Roosevelt on
| July 18th, 1918, said:
Unless we stand by all our allies
who have stood by us, we shall have
failed in making the liberty of we'll
behaved, civilized peoples secure and
we shall have shown that our an
nouncement about making the world
save for democracy was an empty
boast"
On November 4th 1918, the armis-
tice was agreed to and it was conclud-
ed upon the basis of the fourteen
points set forth in the address of
President Wilson delivered to congress
on January sth, 1918, and the prin-
ciples subsequently enunciated by him.
At no point, at no time, during no pc
riod while this history was in the max
ing, was one responsible American
voice raised in protest.
Thus, before we entered the war,
we made the pledge; during the war
we restated the pledge; and when the
armistice was signed, all of the ma
tions, ourselves included, renewed the
pledge; and it was upon the faith of
these promises that Germany laid
down her arms. Practically all of the
civilized nations of the earth have now
united in a covenant which constitutes
the redemption of that pledge. We
also have thus far failed to keep our
word. Others may break faith; the
senate of the United States may break
faith; the republican party may break
faith; but neither President Wilson
nor the democratic party will break
faith.
The Fundamental Purpose.
In this hemisphere, the mere dec
laration of our young republic that
the attempt Of any foreign power to
set foot on American soil would be
considered an unfriendly act, has serv-
ed to preserve "the territorial integrity |
and the political independence" of the |
nations Of Central and South America. |
The treaty pledges all of the sigato- |
ries to make this doctrine effective |
everywhere. 1t is the Monroe Doc |
rine Of the world.
The purpose of the League is to give
notice that IL any nation raises its
bloody hand and seeks to cross the
Inc into any other coutry. the forces
n civilization will be aroused TO sup
'ress the common enemy Of peace.
Therein lies the security of small ma
Ions and the safety Of the world.

yer been fought began in an attempt I

HOME MARKETS FOR ARKANSAS
 FARM PRODUCTS

Cooperation by and between farm CTS needs every encouragement and no opposition from local commercial in- terests. In fact there should be CO., operation and reeiproeation between these distinct bodies; the one a pro- dueer and the other a dealer and pro moter of progress that depends upon the activities of the former For commercial interests to oppose coop eration of farmers is to show weak ness and thus create prejudice which should not exist between producer and legitimate business.
 Observation should have taught the business interests of a town long ere this that local and general progress depend upon full understanding and cooperation between country and town interests. Each should be loyal to the other. The one supporting home enterprise and the other provid- ing a market for homegrown pro ducts first, in preference to the i'm ported article.
 Let us apply this last feature to the now growing dairy interests in some parts of the state. There should be market made ready to handle the produets-cheese, butter, etc.-in preference to foreign made products If the commercial interests really want to help the agricultural inter ests, help new industries like dairy ing, or any other farm crop develop ment, let them adopt the loyal idea of buying first always the product of the home field. Otherwise the farm CT is not going to appreciate ostensi- ble aid from a commercial source. When the farmer cannot sell his pro- ducts at home, and when he has to buy foreign goods of the same kind that Is being produced at home he has grounds for suspicion.
 Encourage home enterprise by plac- ing home grown products at the top of the list. Creating a demand for homegrown products will open a sub stantial market and build the local agricultural industry. Let Made in Arkansas" be the slogan.
