be patent to the agressor, and
therefore their collective threats
will be discounted as a collective
| bluff.
The threat of total collective
war can be deterrent only Of it is
evident that the threat will be
carried out. But it will be car
ried out only as the very last re-
! sort. It is in fact not way of
enforcing international gr e.
ments. 1t is a measure of ulti-
mate desperation that will be
used only when reliance upon
agreements is gone, the peace o.
the world has already been ire
trievably shattered, and the
peace-loving nations are com
PEELED to unite in order to fight
war of survival.
When the issue is less than the
survival of the great nations, the
method Of collective security will
not be used because it is just as
terrifying to the policeman as it
is to the lawbreakers. It Furnishes
the enforcing states, at least
until they have paid the awful
price of victory, as much as the
law-breaking states. Therefore,
it cannot be used as method OF
ordinary and continuing enforce
ment. for example, as a means of
insuring the inspection of labora-
tories and plants working with
fashionable materials. There would
be little surgery if the surgeon
had to amputute his own arm
when he was called upon to ampu-
tate his patients leg. There would
be little enforcement o. law In
our cities if in order to arrest
burglars, murderers, and vlolators
of the traffic ordinances the po-
lice had to start a fight in which
the courthouse, the jail, and their
own homes were likely to be de-
molished. Men will not burn
down the barn in order to roast
/ pig: the mctnod "
security is, I repeat, too crude,
too expensive, and too unreliable
for general and regular use.
It proposes to achieve peace
through law by calling upon great
masses of innocent people to stand
ready to exterminate great masses
of innocent people No world order
can be founded upon such 4 prln-
ciple. 1t cannot command the sup
port of civilized men, least OF all
of democratic men who respect
the individual and consider it the
very essence of justice to distln-
guish between the guilty and the
innocent, the responsible and the
irresponsible.

and less short Of war. They were
regarded as a series of measures
that might begin with the with
draWal of an ambassador and
could end in total war. The effec-
tiveness of any sanction depends
upon the fact that it is warning
and token of severer penalties to
come. The world has seen this in
the case of Japan in Manchuria,
Of Italy in Abyssinia, of Germany
in Austria, of Spain and Argentina
during the second world war: the
initial sanctions were not deterrent
because the complying states were
not ready or willing to apply the
final sanction Of going to war.
The enforcement of information. d
agreement by sovereign states
against sovereign states is known
as the method of collective security.
We cannot. rely-indeed no nation
does nor will rely-upon interna-
tional agreements Of this kind
Why not? Because the remedy is
as bad as the disease: the peace
able nations have to be willing to
wage total war in order to prevent
total war. The remedy is so crude,
so expensive, and usually SO repul-
sive, that it will not be applied by
the very peoples who are supposed
to apply it, namely by the peace
loving peoples.
We must be clear about this, for
much hangs upon it. 1t is often
said that the mere threat Of col
lective force will deter any state
from taking the steps that lead to
war. That might be true if the
threat is known to be genuine-if
it is not a gesture and a bluff.
There must be no doubt m the
minds of the rulers of the trans
gressor states that the others
are modified, equipped and
trained. and it must be certain that
there will be no hesitation and
debate about the willingness of the
law-abiding peoples to wage total
war. To state. these conditions is to
know how improbable it is that
they Will be met in times of peace.
For in the early stages of any
campaign of conquest, the issues
are certain to be remote and in
themselves of no great importance
to the nation that must carry the
main burden of collective security
We may recall the seizure of Man
churia in 1922, Ethiopia in
1885, the Spanish civil war i'll 1886,
the reoccupation Of the Rhineland
in 1896, the episode Of the Panay
in 1887 It is in these early stages
of aggression that collective secur-
ity would have to be effective if
war is to be prevented. But that is
just when it is least effective: the
peace-lcving states cannot be
counted upon to be ready and will
ing to wage total war over what
appear to be in themselves MINOR,
remote and unclear disputes. Their
unreadiness and unwillingness will

meantime, the food will be toted in
from the regular restaurant across
the hall.
OF course, Congressman still will
be able to eat in the regular
restaurant-if they can squeeze in.
But this has been too small for a
long time, and many members
have been forced to feed with the
public.
That's why the private dining
room was built.
But the public is even worse off.
Its restaurant is gone altogether,

place it, down in the cellar some

New Cut Off Channel

The only bottlenecks holding up
the construction OF a cutoff chan

way with the Cape Fear river are
the lack of funds and a right of

4be two points, a spokesman for the
district engineers said last night.
Money for the project, which is
expected to cost around $21, 500,

DEMOCRATS READY
TO SIGN REPORT
Washington Advices Say
Kilgore, Mead In Accord
Or Bilbo Document

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80 = R =
Two Democrats were reported
ready Monday night to agree With
four Republicans on a Senate COM
mittee report, accusing Senator
Bilbo D-Miss.) of using his posi-
ton for personal GAIN in deal
ings with war contractors.
Chairman Kilgore D-W Va.) OF
the War Investigating committee
repeatedly told other members ne
would sign the report if it were al
tered slightly to make it entirely
clear that the committee is not
attempting to tell the Senate what
it should do about any Of the com
plants the committee makes.
Senator Mead D-NY), who head
ed the subcommittee which inqulr-
ed into Bilbo's acceptance Of funds
from war contractors in 1912, was
said by other members to nave
agreed to sign the report.
The four Republicans, Senators
Brewster of Maine. Ferguson of
Michigan, Knowland of California
and Ball OF Minnesota, already
have given their approval to the
report.
Findings Due
The committees findings, ex-
pected to be made public this
week, we're described by a mem
Der as charging that Bilbo i'm
properly used his high office for
his personal gains in dealing with
war contractors"
Bilbo conceded during hearings
that he had received funds contri-
buted by war contractors. He con-
tended that the money all was
spent in an unsuccessful 1912 cam
paign to elect Wall Doxey to the
Senate. Doxey now is Senate SER
geant-at-arms.
Some committee members con-
tended that Bilbo had solicited
funds in violation of the war con-
tracts law. They noted, however,
that the statute Of limitations has
blocked direct action on any charge
that might be made on that point.
With the committee report ap-
parently headed for approval oy a
committee majority, Republicans
argued the question OF attempting
to stop the Mississippi Senator at
the door when the Senate corvenes
Friday.
Bilbo's new term starts then and
Senators Brewster and Ferguson,
both War Investigating committee
members, contend the Republicans
should make an effort at that time
to keep the Mississippian from tax
ing his seat. On the other hand,
Senators Vandenberg {R-Mich.),
Taft (R-Ohio) and Millikin CR-
Colo.) have indicated they want tc
aviod disrupting the first Republl-
can organization Of the Senate's
machinery in IA years. They pre-.
FER to fight the Bilbo matter out
later.
Sees Delay
Brewster took notice of possible
delaying tactics that might develop,
by asserting that if any Democrats
wish to filibuster a motion to pre-
vent Bilbo from taking the cath,
their party will have to assume the
responsibility for keeping the Sell
ate from going to work.
Bilbo has announced he Will
tight any move to make him stand
aside and a sharp debate is expect
ed if such a motion comes up.
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re
publican Steering committee told
reporters that the decision on what
strategy to pursue on Bilbo will be
left to the new Steering commit
tee. Selection of that committee
was one task of a caucus Of all Sen
ate Republicans this afternoon.
