that time has arrived it always must be con-
sidered that the will to do exemplifed in
the Geneva protocol is not actuality and
that before all necessary governments
have ratified the protocol there is time
for ample consideration. Should the pro-
tocol fail of adoption by most interested
governments, then counsel of the league will
declare it null. But with this failure would

What United States Faces.
In viewing the possibilities in Tar they
affect this Government. naturally two
sets of contingencies must be considered.
First of all if the United States enters the
league-and as long as present sentiment pre-
walls it will mott Immediately subjects its
will to the will of the majority nations therein
represented unless it has the influence and
power mold sentiment in the league along
lines desired by it, Europes past ready
ceptance of the purported disinterested atti-
tude of the United States on many major ques
tons is regarded by proponents of league
trance as a good augury of the power of the
United States to protect itself at all junctures
But in entering the league the United States
at once assumes all the obligations Of the
league and Immediately becomes committed in
advance to its decisions. Naturally such stu
alton is regarded restrictive of independent
endeavor and and infringement upon American
sovereignty. This country Immediately would
lend itself to the enforcement of all decisions
of the league and commit itself to abide by
decisions in regard to questions which now
may be considered purely domestic in char
acter: All of these may be considered danger
Gus to Americas future and her policies.
1t has been pointed out in connection with
the protocol. which has received the indorse
ment of the representatives of practically all
nations. that this in measure treads upon
the domestic issues of any country and Is not
so intended. This cannot be taken wholly
accurate.
In international usage there are two sepa-
rate divisions, those questions pertaining
strictly to international affairs and those
garGed as purely domestic. In so per, cent of
the cases that might arise the difference be-

NTERNATIONALISM exempifed in de-
csions reached by the League of Nations
in Geneva is assailing the impregnability
of Americas decisions to maintain her
policy of interested disnterestedness' in
the closely knit affairs Of Europe.
Members of the league embracing all but
three powers of the world have subscribed to
resolution urging adoption of a protocol de-
signed to forever end international combat
The covenant Of the league which already has
caused one of the bitterest fights in American
political history, has been amended so as to
incorporate principles considered by many
even more Objectionable than the original in
order that obstreperous nations may be singled
out and punished for violating faith in De
coming aggressive.
There is no hedging. little equiyocation, in the
decision that if any nation for whatsoever rea-
takes up arms against member nation 1t
shall be made to feel the wrath of all and
forever respect the worlds verdict that
there shall be more war on any pretext.
Means of determining an aggressor nation
fixed and when a nation once becomes IN
voved aggressor then the weight OF all
nations is pledged to the process OF economic
political financial and moral suasion

gain peace which the statesmen involved IN
the Paris peace conference sought but were
unable gain by virtue OF the wave OF op-
position. actual and potential. greeting the
intimation that such a thing would be neces-
sary to actually avoid war. 1t was the plan
sheived for that which provided arbitral pro-
erastination with the hope of adjustment, but
which did not ban such in any conttn-
gency. leaving the powers that final privilege
when all other avenues principally those set
up by the league. were exhausted
The recent session of the league but put
teeth" into it's mouth that it might
masticste the general problem of maintaining
world peace instead of merely mincing the
issue.
In the process the league unquestionably
mas opened up another great question for the
American Government That question is none
other than as to whether this Government shall
remain out of the league indefinitely or array
itself with the powers sgnatory to the cove
nant and protocol resolution and array its
forces with those of the world in the attempt

tween the two classes would be difficult of
differentiation similar are the general char
acteristcs of each. Where to draw the line
between the two is always a matter of doubt.
The Japanese question is a in point. The
question Of immigration generally is regarded
as a domestic problem. Japan herself so
CARDS it in her dealings with other Asatics.
Europe, too. accepts the theory. Japan on the
other hand declares that when the migration
question becomes a contentious the
ground Of discrimination between the races by
any one country and hazarding national honor
and integrity Of the nation Disseminated
against, then the whole question becomes in
ternational in character. Should the United
States become member of the league and
should Japan raise the immigra alton question
for arbitration the ground that it was in
ternational in character the United States
might, in long negotiation in and out Of the
World Court (Which might uphold Japan). be
forced modify her present position that
the question is affair of the United States
and is neither subject to questioning or attack.
As to Domestic Issue~.
1t is specifically provided in the protocol
that domestic question may be taken up by
both court and league IL they endanger the
peace of two nations OF such conten-
tous character as to create strife. This being
the case any Of the hundreds Of matters
regarded by member nations strictly do
mestic might be regarded as provocative of
league action The heart of the whole mat
ter in SO far as the United States adherence
to the league is concerned is whether this
country would wish to be in position to defend
every complaint that might be registered
against her domestic policies and stand the
chance of having them declared beyond the
province of purely local authority.
Should this come to pass the United States
would find Itself circumscribed in dealing
with domestic problems directly or indirectly
involving other nations.
Contentious questions always would be sub
ject to arbitration, even though the Washing
ton Government regarded that question Of
national honor was at stake and desired to
pursue its own methods OF settlement. Free
dom of movement always would be .hedged
about by the constant knowledge that every
question might be subject of arbitral decisions,
possibly, in many cases to the disinterest of
this Nation, though league leaders in
clined to trust to the integrity and impair
tiaI!ty of the World Court in all such matters.

been taking a deep interest in the
coming Standardization conference in
Lima. They have been giving careful
study to the subjects to be discussed.
None of the business concerns or
groups in the United States will be
represented officially at the confer
ence. it is stated. although one or more
of such groups may send unofficial
representatives to be on hand and
present their views on various sub
jects which come before the con-
gress as occasion may arise.
Experts to Represent United States.
The United States will be repre-
sented officially by A. w. Whitney Of
New York. chairman of the American
Engineering Standards Committee, a
clearing house for group of engi-
neering associations which favor
Standardization. Mr.. Whitney is also
a delegate to the Pan american Sci
entific Congress, being assigned to the
section on engineering. He is con-
sidered one Of the best experts in his
line in the United States. He will be
ably assisted by DR.. Guillermo A.
Sherwell. secretary of the Inter
American High Commission, who will
be one of the technical advisers. 1t
is expected also that the Department
of Commerce. Of which the Bureau of
Standards is a branch, will also send
technical delegate.
The Department of Agriculture,
which is interested because of the
question of uniform grading of agri-
cultural products of various kinds.
IL it does not send a technical dele
gate will prepare and send a number
of papers to be read or presented to
the congress. One very valuable bull
letin Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, relating to the skinning, curing
and marketing of hides and skins, has
just been translated into Spanish and
published with all the original illus
trations, and copies of this bulletin
are to be sent to all the different Pan
American governments as an illustra-
ton of one kind of Standardization,
namely, in the skinnings and market
ing of hides, which is proving very
profitable to the producers in that
line.
Plans for the development of
stronger national organizations and
more centralized efforts toward ma
tional and international standardiza-
ton, particularly between the coun-
tries of the Western Hemisphere, will
be discussed at the conference. This
will include the creation of new bod
les and the Strengthening of such
available machinery as individual or
ganizations; national trade, engineer
ing and scientific organizations; col
leges and universities and Govern
ment bureaus.

Tree, 5000 Years Old,
Taken Under Government Care

The United States Government not
only preserves historic documents,
like the Constitution in the Congress
sional Library and other relics in the
Smithsonian Institution, but it also
takes care to prolong the life of out
door landmarks and specimens in the
museum Of nature.
For example. experts in the Forest
Service are now protecting a juniper
tree, more than 5000 years old. said
by experts to be the oldest tree of it's
kind in the world. in the Cache Ma
tional Forest in northern Utah. Sci
entists from the Utah College Of Ag-
riculture, cooperating with Carl B.

this particular tree on a par with

trees in California which are so often

on earth" What these scientists de-
duced was surprising.
At breast height, the diameter of
this tree is feet 6 inches 1t is ~
feet high. Only a few hundred years
ago this tree was growing as rapidly
as at any other time during its life;
The first inches of growth required
200 years. which indicates that the.
trees struggle for existence was un-
der adverse conditions. Later the
tree was growing at the rate of
inches every 60 years, which is con-
sidered a remarkable fact, consider
ing its location and age.
This tree is on the main Logan
Canyon Highway and seen by many
thousands of tourists each year. A
sign has just been erected to herald
the principal facts about the tree and
warn against its DETACHMENT or me-
lestation.
