Versailles Over Again

rT7HERE are increasing indications that the

spectacle Of the United States Senate OBJ
structing for weeks and months proposals
for the promotion OF international peace.
1T is far too soon to assume that the oppo-
sition TO the fOur-power treaty applying to
the Pacific will muster sufficient strength
to defeat that measure, as partisan minori-

position to the measure with exactly the
ammunition needed to make an effective
fight. 1t is not easy for the average mind
TO grasp the issue raised in this instance.
but 1t is quite easy 10 understand how nd
vantage may be taken of differences existing
between those who negotiated the instru-
meht, by resourceful opponents of any and
MI aillances, treaties, ententes or mere
agreements which involve America
Moreover. it is easy to foresee the de-
Veiopment of the opposition which at first
seemed impotcnt and scarcely worthy of
notice. When originally outlined, the Paci-
nc treaty seemed innocent enough in its
purpose, and 1t seemed to invite the applause
o. all those who sincerely prayed Tor peace.
1t was formally denied that an ALLIANCE"
was FORMED; that miitarism played any mart
IN the pact; that anything was concealed or
untold about the proposal and, after all il
WAS merely written understanding on the
part or -FOUR powers to maintain the lust
rights Of each other

A NIischleyous Bill

| IN It's consideration Of House bill 6508 the
Senate Judiciary Committee has before 1t
measure which. If not reported adversely.
Will seriously reflect OH the wisdom of its
membership. The House has sent up sew
eral mischievous bills to that body. but none
moro fraught with public injury than this
one. The bill is described in official language
rs being for "the exclusion of fraudulent
devices and lottery parnphernalia from the
mails. and for other purposes" a reading
of section of the bill discloses what It's
authors mean by "other purposes" 1t would
cripple every newspaper in the country In
the service 1t renders the public.
Stripped to the substance of its proposal
in relation to newspapers, here is the way
section reads: mo newspaper. con-
tanning information, or statements, by way
of advice or suggestions, purportng to give
the odds at which bets or wagers are being
laid or waged, upon the outcome or result
Of any horse race. prize fight. or other con-
test Of speed, strength, or skill, or setting
forth the bets or wages made, or offered to
be made, or. which sets forth sugges-
tions as to the odds at which bets or wagers
should or may be made or laid shall be de-
posted in carried by the mails of the
United States
Concerning the general purpose of the
bill, to exclude fraudulent devices and lot
terry para phernalia from the mails, no one
could raise objections. 1t Is perfectly legiti-
mate to discourage betting, IL that purpose
can be effected without transcending rights
that are inherently >inalienable. But this
bill goes far beyond this This section
ferred to. If written into the Federal
statutes, would prohibit publication of any
news likely to lead to gambling. Inter
preted by an unfriendly court, 1t might
readily be made to apply to financial quo
tations, to baseball scores, racing results,
and many other things. All these items of
Legitimate news may be, and doubtless often
are. used as basis for laying wagers Even
weather report and the outcome of a
beauty contest may start an argument and
inspire bet.
The press should get interested immedi-
ately and voice a unanimous protest against
this proposal to deprive it's readers of
legitimate, wholesome service to which they
have long been accustomed and to which
they are entitled.
