GENEVA. July Ex-senator Will
liam B. Mckinley of Illinois is cred
tied with having made the remark
not long ago that II the league of
nations would only change its name,
America would join it. This is only
another way of saying that what the
league is represented to be and what
it really is are two different things.
But even without regard to the politi-
cal controversy in America is fact
that the league of nations does not
convey the true impression of what
has been set up in Geneva.
A better idea of the work OF
the international organization which
grew from the treaty Of Versailles
Of as an international society for the
betterment of relations between peo-
pies. The word league" carries
note OF alliance or authority TO some
minds. Really, there Is no authority
here, but a great body OF experts on
technical matters. whose opinions are
advisory. The governments them
selves must ratify everything DeloIe
action can be taken and, in practically
every matter of Importance. unani-
nous action is required to make an
agreement effective. Amy nation can
block action by asserting Its SOW

So the bulk of work here is in the
nature of expert opinion. Whether
1t is finance, economics or transit

The test of the leagues value Is
the growing number of problems be-
ing intrusted to 1t for study by vari-
Gus governments of the world When
ever Congress gets tangled UP in a
problem the usual course In the
United States Is to pass a resolution
authorizing the President to appoint
a commission to study 1t. Even when
the executive wants a problem ana
lived by experts he sets up an ad-
yisory body. Heretofore when ma
tions got into a dispute they had no
place to go TO get facts determined
by experts. 1t is true that they could
always appoint international commits

Question of Mandates.
Take the intricate question Of
mandates or trusteeships held by
several nations as the result of the
Versailles treaty. The French gov
ernment, for instance. was given the
mandate or trusteeship over certain
German colonies in Africa. That
means the French must administer
the territory SO merchants of all
countries will get a square deal and
the natives will not be oppressed.
Under the system Of annexation there
would have been no such surer-
vision. but the theory today Is that
allied and associated powers are in
partnership and the colonies owned
by Germany are being administered
for the benefit of the victorious

The Work Cure
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The growth of an idea, the spread
ing of it through your mind. as the
veins and patches of frost cover a
window pane, is interesting
So spreads the idea of the value of
work.
You begin with the discovery that
work is not a curse, that 1t Is not
something to be lodged and exaded
like pain or disease or death, but 1t
is something friendly and healing and
helpful. to be sought as a golden
quest.
Next you discover that all happi-
ness is a by-product of work, and
that most miseries belong to the lit
ter of that uncleanest of domesti-
Gated animals, idleness.
A further spread Of this idea is that
work is a great cure.
First and most obvious among
cures is medicine. But pretty soon
we discover that this is far from
sufficient.
Then come along those who tell us
that the cure lies in the will.
This failing in a good many cases,
others tell us that 1t Is the imagina-
ton that will lead us to health. that
we can be kept sound and normal by
beliefs.
And now comes the work cure. For
tunately, 1t has been taken up en-
Enthusiastically by the hard-headed
medical profession and has not been
left to the advocacy of uplift writer's
and faddists.
is occupation therapy. which is the
kind of lingo that doctors like. and
Is properly irritating to the layman.
The definition as given by the
national society is: "Occupation ther-
apy Is a method of treating the sick
or injured by means of instruction
and employment in productive occu-
pations."
This is but another form of the
old common-sense idea that both
body and soul will be healthier If you
quit tinkering with them.
This is the negative way of stat
ing the case; the positive is to say
that interest in life is half the cure
If we can get our minds sufficiently
occupied in something outside of us,
everything inside of us takes care of
itself.
OF course. this is no cure-aII, but
something to be used at the right
place and time under the supervision
of the intelligent physician.
Every one. doctor or not, knows
that diversion is OF great aid In con-
valescence, and that depression is the
worst enemy to recovery. And moth
ing but our old friend, Work, IL 1t is
work of the right kind, better pro-
vtdes diversion and prevents depres-
sion
On the door that leads out of the
chamber of morbidity are printed the
words. "A New Interest"
OF course, work, to be curative,
must be what one wants to do and
not what one is compelled to do.
In many government hospitals oc-
cupational therapy has been used
successfully to refrain the muscles
and nerves of wounded soldiers. In
insane asylums 1t has been found
valuable in cases marked by violence
and by vicious habits.
statistics show the positive eco
nomic value of the work treatment.
injured men are returned to produc-
tive work on an average in four
weeks instead of five. in ten months
instead of a year. Two casualty in
surance companies employed occupa-
ton therapists as an experiment At
the end OF year they reported that
the average period of convalescence
OF policy holders had been shortened
by four and a half days.
There be many roads to salvation.
and not the least of these is work.
