All those great movements for which

The, foregoing view Is expressed by
one who has no connection with Amer
ica's political controversy, but brings
out new point-namely, that far from
going on the rocks because America
didn't enter 1t. the league Is proceeding
to draw together the nations of the
world and much of the preliminary work
OF organization has already been ac-
complished. This summary of the
meetings at San Sebastian was also
sent here from the secretariat of the
league of nations.
'First-The Armaments commission,
which has been misrepresented in the
United States, has begun work on it's
program. The actual powers of the
league of nations with regard to arma-
ments may be summed up under the
headings of inquiry, recommendation
and the exercise of the public opinion.
The leagues most definite powers, per-
haps, are contained in article 1,
which provides that no new member
may be admitted to the league until it
saccepts such regulations as may be
prescribed by the league with regard
TO its naval, military and air forces
and ornaments. The council may con-
slider the question of the ornaments of
the world draw up what appears to be
an equitable basis of ornaments and
then submit 1t to the various nations.
The council has no power to interfere
on the question of national ornaments
beyond this form of recommendation.

Acts on Mandates.

20. The council of the league has
taken definite action with respect to
the fulfillment of the mandates or trus-
teeships over former German colonies
and other countries This is vital, be-
cause it not only aims to secure equal
ity of commercial opportunity, but also
seeks to prevent these backward coun-
tries from generating new wars.
'4.-The draft scheme of the per-
manent court of international justice
drawn up the The Hague committee, of
which Elihu Root is member, was
ordered by the council to be circulat ted
to all states of the league in order
to expedite its adoption by the as
sembly this November
as. The international financial con-
ference Is to be held on Sept "a,
whether or not the allied governmental
fix the total of Germany's indemnity.
Economic reconstruction in Europe,
which owes the United States $4,000, =
900, 000 may be vitality affected by this
conference. The United States Is to be
represented unofficially by delegates
named by the treasury department"
The foregoing is by no means
comprehensive picture of what has been
accomplished thus far by the league of
nations in perfecting its organization,
but it gives the exact status of five
main schedules, and since the nfor-
nation does not emanate from a poll
tical or partisan source, but disinterest-
ed people, it can be accepted as reliable.

Economic Pressure Planned.

Second Methods of carrying out
the economic blockade and the method
OF coercion against a state going to
war in defiance of the covenant have
the council Of the league. This Is vital
10 America because 1t is the greatest
step ever taken toward the prevention
Of war and because, whether the United
states is in the league or not, she will
be asked to cooperate with the other
nations against any nation which thus
mace itself an International outlaw. I'm
mediate consideration of this schedule
was felt to be essential because such
blockade could not be carried on
without great loss of time and efficiency
unless there had been considerable prev
paration and because the mere know
ledge that the weapon is ready for use
might nave a very salutary effect and
the members of the league are deter
mined, II necessity arises, to make 1t
impossible for any nation to violate the
carefully drawn and accepted provisions
of the covenant.
ut should be noted, perhaps, that
the, obligation resting on each state to
apply financial and economic block
AIDE against covenant breaking state
IS automatic. It arises from the very
fact of the violation of the covenant
thus differing fundamentally from any
military or naval obligation which may
rest upon the members of the league
In, the latter case provision is made
only that the council shall recommend
to the several governments what eff
fective forces they shall severally con
tribute, thus leaving to each govern
ment the final decision AZ to whether

Project Hits Everyone.
This is the reason why our project
for department of public works
strikes straight home to the business
men, the manufacturer, the contractor
and the merchant. The technical men
who met at Chicago last April to set up
this organization built better than they
knew. While the project retains all
the virtues that appealed to us when
1T was launched-of technical excel
lence, of rational government organiza
ton, of economy and efficiency, we
now see that it reaches to national
and to business prosperity, to the fiscal
welfare of the nation, to the individual
welfare of the productive business.
. We may as well recognize and admit
the fact that individual initiative in
America will not continue to be that
spontaneous thing that it has been in
the past if the rewards are to divided
and a part of them are to be wasted
in the support of a chaotic govern
ment business organization. The bur
dens of every business organization in
the country are magnified by govern
ment business inefficiency.
We want no good and proper thing
to be withheld from our government
nor in turn by our government. Wher
the time comes for this country to be
