A European League
Chicago Journal of Commerce


The resignation of Brazil from the League of Ma.
tions makes it increasingly clear that the proper
function of the league is as an organization of Eur
opean nations.
The league has been in bad way recently, but
Brazirs resignation should not make matters worse
unless it stimulates Spain to carry ont her threat OF
resgning. The resignation Of Spain would detract
from the leagues ability to function in European
Matters tho resignation Of Brazil increases the
leagues ability so to function.
1t was brazils veto which blocked the acceptance
Of Germany member of the council of the league
Brazil's resignation removes that veto. Germany's
way is still not made altogether clear, veto may
now be interposed by Poland, which also desires
permanent seat in the league council and is not in
clined to share council membership with non-1atin
applicants
| When Brazil vetoed the admission CT Germany to
the league council, it understood that Spain and
Italy also objected to the admission but no need
to vote against it in view Of the fact that Brazil was
casting the single vote needed to keep Germany out
Germany not being admitted to the council, did
not join the league at ALL 1t has been expected that
She would join at the next session. in September.
But the developments of the last few weeks have
confused the situation.
J The league has not been having happy time. It's
preliminary conference on the limitation Of anna
ments has not been going well. There is danger
that the league will steadily weaken and that Europe
may return without disguise modification to its
old bewildered, warencouraging ways.
The league is needed, for Europes sake. 1t should

Because "circus demands" made upon minister

Under the Direct Primary System
(Philadelphia Public Ledger

In the recent Pennsylvania primary Clifford Pin
chct attacked Senator Pepper for having supported
Senator Newberry in the celebrated Newberry case.
The Michigan senator spent much money in his
campaign. and the senate solemny resolved that this
"was contrary to sound public policy, harmful to
the dignity of the senate and dangerous to the per-
petuity of free government" ~

or endangered 1.-THE perpetuity of free govern

If he appeared in the senate, would his actions,
were those of Senator Newberry. be severely con-
demned and disapproved"?
Are his opponents in the primary who also spent
much money, to be condemned for this?
II such expenditures do "ehdanger the perpethity
of free government" and are CONTRARY to sound
policy" the blame rests upon the primary system.
No man can make statewide campaign and make
even respectable showing without money and
plenty of it. #
The direct primary has made politics rich mans

He must do this himself, or some man groug
Of men must do it Tor him.
Unless he is enormously rich, no candidate car
finance himself. The legitimate expenses of litera
ture postage, trave headquarters and clerical helI
run into large sums. e n
Under the primary system, the poor man, no mat
ter how able he is how much the state may neet
his services, has no business in politics.
The direct primary is another reform that hal
