That international liquor smuggling has reached
enormous proportions nearly every we'll informed per-

DR.. Doran proposes that the foreign governments

liquor exported has been actually unlcaded in the port

"The earnest efforts Of the United States to enforce
its laws make il not inappropriate 70 suggest that
other nations cooperate with the United States to ccm-

It may not be Inappropriate to suggest such CO.
operation, but the weak spot in DIR. Dorans argument
is the fact that other nations hold opinions Of prOhi-

Nations that permit the manufacture. sale and
transportation Of alcoholic liquors are not much inter-

The success attending the efforts Of Secretary Of
State kellogg and Premier BRAND Of France in con-
nection with the treaty designed TO outlaw war, which
has received the approval Of practically all civilized
nations, has aroused q great variety Of claims as 10
whom is deserving Of the honor Of having originated
the movement for world peace.
TO Woodrow Wilson. president Of the United States
IN 1918, and Lloyd George, British premier, much credit
Is due for the final naturalization Of their ambition
20 secure international recognition of the injustice of
resorting to war TO adjust international controversies.
But to Secretary Kellogg and Premier BRAND must 20
the honor for securing international acquiescence in
the plan.
The peace pact. signed recently at Paris, is not the
child Of the brain Of any individuals. II is merely
the ~outgrowth Of q decade Of effort on the part Of
scores of leaders and thinkers. Secretary Kellogg and
Premier BRAND we're the logical men to select TO bring
the proposed pact before the nations Of the world, and
the manner in which they handled the diplomatic fea-
lures has gained for them a weII-earned niche in the
worlds hall Of fame.
The strength or the new peace pact rests directly
upon the convictions and good faith of the people
Themselves. Public opinion has compelled govern
ments 10 take action, whereas during the days Of Will
son and Lloyd George. public opinion. then obsessed
BY prejudice and suspicion, impeded and prevented
such action. The seeds Of international peace. planted
by those great war leaders. outlived the era Of hate
and prejudice that followed the world war. and under
the skillful manipulation Of Kellogg and BRAND have
born fruit.
The epoch-making treaty signed AZ Paris commits
the governments Of the world to the remuneration Of
war as an instrument Of policy. This means that
hereafter these governments, in their dealings with
each other. will not contemplate war. prepare for war.
or much less threaten war as a means Of securing the
success Of their contention or points Of view in any
international business or difference which may arise.
Governments will. on the contrary, act as civilized hu-
man beings act. and bring their discussions, major and
minor alike. TO a peaceful end BY establishing methods
Of diplomatic discussion, Cancellation. arbitration and
judicial settlement.
In every phase the new peace treaty carries out the
policies for which President Wilson fought so strenu-
cusly during the later years Of his life, the policies
the United States senate refused TO endorse except in
q half hearted manner which was more disastrous to
the cause Of peace than open hostility. However, Il
must be remembered that At that period in the worlds

War we're still burning fiercely. and public opinion,
which toG.y demands general ratification Of the treaty.
