out the analogy let the Queen of
Italy be the Jikonsaseh of 1923.
Under these directing hands
Germany should be forced to re-
pudiate her internal indebtedness.
An international commission should
be given the means to deal with
the defeated central powers and to
make them understan nd that justice
as dispensed by an informed and
intelligent jury of nations must be
accepted.
Let the nations redeem their
paper money and issue no more
unsecured currency. Let them
nave ali international currency and
a central bank in each country.
Nothing would SO induce peace
and discourage war.
1T should be done as the Iro
quois did it: All nations are in.
vited to sit beneath metaphorieal
Tree of Peace after first casting
their weapons into a bottomless
cavern. Each nation sent as mary
sachems to the council as they de.
sired. but each nation had only
one vote-and the vote was invalid
unless it was the unanimous sense
of the delegates. -
Nations that warred upon the
Iroquois league were broken up
and direct league government es.
tablished over them. Defeated
nations were forced to repuditate
their own internal debts and to
make the PREPARATIONS claim of the
league their first business. There
was no such nonsense as the
right of self.determination, for
this meant disintegration and a
relapse into savagery. Wampum
was decreed the international me-
dunn of exchange.
Peace was thus established and
nations that didn't like 1t were
'gassed' by the effective means
that made the Iroquois famous.
The modern world might take
a lesson from the Indians-who
had too much sense to be the
savages many people think they

Take Indians Example
To Perfect League of
Nations; Urges Redman

In view of the present world in
terest in the question of whether a
League of Nations is. practical,
NEA Service asked Gawasa Wan
neh, an Indian of the Seneca ma
ton and a writer who has helped
to make famous the League of
the Iroquois, which was the first
League of Nations, for his opinion.
He has written it here. The Lea
que of the Iroquois was formed
more than 200 years ago, when the
Indian tribes of the northwest
Senecas, Cayugas. 'Monawks, On
ondagas anu later the Tuscaroras-
banded together and buried the
Ratchet, living amicably and play
ing an important role in the de.
velopment of New York state:
(By Gawasa Wanneh.)
why do not the quarrelsome
war-torn nations of the world
make peace patterned after the
successful plan of the Iroquois In.
dians9
The Tree of War stands in the
Garden of Peace Money is the
taproot OF the worlds woes; the
supporting roots of the Tree OF
War are jealousy, superstition,
ambition and revenge.
What prevents world peace9
Only one thing: The world is not
civilized.
Let Us translate into thes mod
ern terms the League. of Nations
that the Iroquois-called savages,
indeed!-established 500 years ago.
The world should have a
League of Nations and America
should be called upon to elect a
moderator, like Adodsrhoh, the
Onondaga, who was the presiding
officer of the Iroquois Five Ma

the Adodarhoh of 1923.
