The boss said he had been watching all the men. When he found I had been studying at home with the International Interna-tional Correspondence Schools he knew I had the N right stuff in me. Now we can move over to that new house and you can have a maid and take things easy. I tell you, Nell, taking that course with the I. C. S. was the best thing I ever did."

In offices, shops, stores, mines, mills and on railroads, I. C. S. trained men are stepping up to big jobs, over the heads of older men whose only qualification is long service. Get busy right now and put yourself in line for promotion. pro-motion. You can do it in spare time in your own home through the I. C.

These plans come from every group in American life. Some are obviously from lifelong students of history and international law. Some are from persons per-sons who have studied little, but who have themselves seen and felt the horror of war or who are even now living out its tragedy. But among them all are these dominant dom-inant currents: that, if war is honestly hon-estly to be prevented, there must be a face-about on the part of the nations in their attitude toward it; that by some progressive agreement the manufacture man-ufacture and purchase of the munitions muni-tions of war must be limited or stopped; stop-ped; that while no political mechanism mechan-ism alone will insure cooperation among the nations, there must be some machinery of cooperation if the will to cooperate is to be made effective; effec-tive; that mutual counsel among the nations is the real hope for bringing about the disavowal of war by the open avowal of its real causes and open discussion of them; and finally that there must be some means of defining, recording, interpreting and developing the law of nations. Statement of Jury of Award The Jury of Award realizes that there is no one approach to world peace, and that it is necessary to recognize rec-ognize not merely political but also psychological and economic factors. The only possible pathway to international inter-national agreement with reference io thee complicated and difficult factors fac-tors is through mutual counsel a'ul cooperation which the plan select"-! contemplates. It is therefore t:ie unanimous opinion of the Jury that of the 22.1fi5 plans submitted, PUti Number 1469 is "the best practical plan by which the United States may co-operate with other nations tu achieve and preserve the peace of the world." It is the unanimous hope of the Jury that the first fruit of the mutual counsel coun-sel and cooperation among the nations which will result from the adoption of the plan selected will be a general prohibition of the manufacture and sale of all materials of war.

ENTER THE PERMANENT COURT That the United States adhere to the Permanent Court of International Interna-tional Justice for the reasons and under the conditions stated by Secretary Secre-tary Hughes and President Harding m February, 1923. II. COOPERATE WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WITHOUT FULL MEMBERSHIP AT PRESENT That without becoming a member of the League ot Nations as at present constituted, the United States Government should extend its present cooperation with the League and propose participation in the work of its Assembly and Council under the following conditions and reservations: Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine 1. The United States accepts the League of Nations as an Instrument of mutual counsel, but it will assume no .obligation to interfere with political questions of policy or internal administration of any foreign state. In uniting its efforts with those of other States for the preservation preser-vation of peace and the promotion of the common welfare, the United Slates insists upon the safeguarding of the Monroe Doctrine Doc-trine and does1 not abandon its' traditional attitude concernhig American independence of the Old World and does not consent to submit its long established policy concerning questions regarded by it as purely American to the recommendation or decision of other Powers. No Military or Economic Force V 2. That the only kind of compulsion which nations can freely engage to apply to each other in the name of Peace is that which arises from conference, from moral judgment, from full publicity, and from the power of public opinion. The United States would assume no obligations under Article X In its present form, or under Article XVI in its present form in the Covenant, or in its amended form as now proposed, unless in any particular case Congress has authorized such action. The United States proposes that Articles X and XVI be eifher dropped altogether or so amended and changed as to eliminate any suggestion of a general agreement to use coercion for obtaining obtain-ing conformity to the pledges of the Covenant. No Obligations Under Versailles Treaty 3. That the United States will accept no responsibilities under tha Treaty of Versailles unless in any particular case Congress has authorized such action. League Open to All Nations 4. The United States Government proposes that Article I of the Covenant Cove-nant be construed and applied, or, if necessary, redrafted, so that admission to the League shall be assured to any self-governing State that wishes to join and that receives the favorable vote of two-thirds of the Assembly. Development of International Law 5. As a condition of its participation in tho work and counsels of tho League, the United States asks that the Assembly and Council consent con-sent or obtain authority to begin collaboration lor the revision and development of international law, employing for this purpose the aid of a commission cf jurists. This Commission would ha directed to formulate anew existing rules of the law of nations, to reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto inadequately inade-quately provided for but vital to the maintenance of international justice, and in general to define the social rights and duties of States. The recommendations of the. Commission would be presented pre-sented from time to time, in proper form for consideration, to the Assembly as to a recommending if not a law-making body. if ' i I The prospects for Gunnison and the Great Gunnison "h jjj Valley for the year 1924, looks decidedly good.
