We already have successful inter

The important question at this time
is what form viii the new internation-

world Is in serious danger of tinau-

undesirable. No part of the people

is not necessary to submit questions
involving national honor. Few of such
questions ever directly provoke war.
1t is when nations fighting each other
for markets reach a point of positive
disagreement that they begin calling
each other names. These insults
wound honor, war results.
Peace Table Proves Worth.
A League Of Nations is cOntinu-
ance of the peace table, and notwith-
standing the wranglings of the pres

war in Europe before this if it was
not sitting ia Paris. Two cases serve
to illustrate. The coal fields Of upper
