with support in the United States
Senate. That would have been
better"
The Peace Society itself offered a
prize eighty-four years ago for the
best essay on the Congress Of Ma.
tons, but 1t selected five Of the
best written plans and offered them
all to the public to make their own
choice.
1T all savors Of an organized
propaganda in favor of the League
OF nations" the society declared.
There are objections to the
method adopted by the American
Peace Award. We cannot see how
plural voting can be entirely avoid
ed. Only one plan has been sub
mitted to the public. A simple at
nrmative and negative vote under
those circumstances cannot be very
illuminating. Those prejudiced in
favor Of the plan will vote for 1t In
a larger proportion than those who
are opposed. It is wholly unlikely
that the ballot viii give anything
like an accurate picture OF public
sentiment"
Charges Of Misrepresentation.
The society devotes nineteen para
graphs to attacking the ''misrepre-
sentation Of facts" alleged to have
been made by the author in sup.
port Of his plan and six more para
graphs to pointing out additional OBJ
jections to it. Among the more In
teresting statements against the
plan are these:
THE plan az q whole IL sur
prisingly filled with misrepresenta-
lions of fact. 1t seems incredible
that any one can say seriously that
there IL not room for more than
one organization to promote inter-
national cooperation There are at
least 1000 such organizations now
working at that very business.
HE says that the United States
maintains a theoretical policy Of isO-
lation, which according to his own
statement Of facts is not true.
Contrary to his implication, the
Washington conference for the Lirni-
tation Of Armament had nothing to
do with the League Of Nations.
HE says that the settlement OF
the Aaland Islands dispute by the
League of Nations 'averted war.
which is a mere assumption and
probably untrue.
"If the League as organized Is in
capable Of amending its own statue,
what reason is there for believing
that the United States can help to
reconstitute' II?
Hasn't Changed Foundations"
"Since the covenant has not been
changed in any Of these particulars.
it is improper to say that the
League has moved to the foundations
laid by The Hague conferences OF
1899 and 1907 The organs Of the
League are in no sense successors
to The Hague conferences The
Hague conferences did not lack the
resources to create a secretariat;
they created one"
