High tariff advocates in congress are sure to attack the. pact, but Its terms cannot be affected for three years, even were congress to repeal the reciprocal trade act under which President Roosevelt acted In negotiating the agreement It Is considered a trade rather than formal agreement treaty, and goes Into effect January 1 next. Government officials, foreseeing adverse reaction In some quarters because of some of the sliced American duties, sought to show the pact would lead to greatly Increased trade and employment which would benefit the country. President Roosevelt stressed that while duties were lowered on Canadian cattle, cream, seed potatoes and certain kind of lumber, quotas placed on these articles would prevent serious Interference with the American market.

UTLEY THE close of the World war. It was the determlna- tlon of all the participating nations, and therefore all of the powerful nations of the earth, to establish a peace that would last for all time to come. It was for this purpose that the League of Nations Idea was brought forth, an Idea which would have all disputing nations bring their controversies before a world court, to arbitration or to the attention of the council of the league before resorting to warfare. To punish nations which went to war without first attempting to have their difficulties straightened out in this manner, the member nations were agreed to take sanctions against f them. As a further assurance against wnr, the Kellogg peace pact, definitely renouncing war as an Instrument of national policy and recognizing the settlement of disputes only through peaceable means, was universally signed. The league, as an Instrument of International peace, had two strikes on It before It began to operate, and those two strikes were the United States and Russia. With these two great powers outside the league, the operation of sanctions was always to be a difficult matter; the fact that other nations later withdrew from the league only served to make matters worse. The Kellogg pact, which was more fortunate In that It gained universal acceptance, was a cripple because It provided no real means of enforcing Its provisions. Peace of "Status Quo." It was not long before it became apparent that the league, devised and formed as It was by the victorious nations, was an Instrument for maintaining peace strictly In the sense that t was Intended to maintain, the status quo at the end of the war. For about ten years this was more or less satisfactory, principally because the nations were physically and financially exhausted by the war. Hut by 1031 It became apparent that all of the nations were pot satisfied with the status quo, especially those nations whose popand for ulation was whose Industrial products It was becoming more and more necessary to find a new market. Since thnt time there have been four outstanding Incidents which have Indicated thnt, to he successful, the league needs some sort of bolstering up, some power of maintaining a peace other than merely the status quo of 1010, and further means of enforcing Its decisions. The first of these was the Invasion of Manchuria by the Japanese, which violated everything from the Washington treaties and the Kellogg pact to the league covenant and In the Roberts' Rules of Order. midst of the World war of words which ensued, Japan quit the g league. The second Instance was the Chaco war, and Its hostilities between Bolivia an I Paraguay. The third was the failure of the disarmament conference which resulted In Germany's withdrawal from the league because she felt she was not getting her prom lsed equality. The fourth Is the present situation, Ethiopia b 'taly. BELTS BELTING & MACHINERY HEADQUARTERS ternational strife. By WILLIAM - MOTORS - "V" the Invasion of What to Jo About It Several remedies have be;-sng gested. Some of them are inerelv designed to Improve the power of the league to enforce Its covenant and maintain the smm quo. Oth ers aim at a reorganization which will squnrely face changing conditions and admit that the status quo leaves much to be desired. In the four incidents named It has become apparent that world opinion does not mean much when it comes to halting an aggressor nation. Also it is doubtful whether sanctions, with four of the world's greatest powers outside the league, can be made effective, especially since only 36 of the 52 members which agreed to sanctions have applied them in their entirety. To remedy this situation, one school of thought; notably typelied by the League of Nations union movement in Great Britain, recommends an International police force, under the administration of the league, to take the place of all existing military bodies. It is alleged thnt such an organization could be vastly less In number than the combined total of all the individual national armed forces. Because of the development of the airplane in the last few years It could be highly concentrated. The movement has quite a following, despite the discouruging fact that for the establishment of such a police force, all nations would be required to turn over all of their submarines, airplanes, battleships and other engines of militaristic use to the international authority. It has been suggested that the scheme be given a trial over a period of 25 years. If at the end of that time it shall not have been Judged a success the international "coppers" will all be sent home, and each nation will be given back its equipment, unless, of military course, they can all be persuaded that they would all be much better off if they dumped the whole lot out In the Sargasso sea at some place very deep. All of the soldiers In the International force would owe allegiance only to the international authority. At first they would be recruited from existing armies and navies, but as the force grew they would be recruited directly, attracted by a remuneration and dignified position greater than that of the ordinary army. Establishing Bases. It has been pointed out that such a force would have a territory of its own for bases, but this, it Is suggested, could be worked out along the lines that America pursued In creating the District of Colutuhiu. The.se bases would have to be chosen for strategic position, ability to accommodate equipment and proximity to sources of supply. Supposing enough nations actually could be persuaded to turn over their arms, there Is still the danger of concentrating under one control a force great enough to defeat any other force on earth. In that case, what happens If a group of officers of the force are suddenly possessed of a not unprecedented delusion of world conquest? There Is another school which believes that the centralization of all the world's air forces under an International authority Is all that would be necessary to emlow the league with a power great enough lo defend nnd enforce its policies agnlnst all comers. At lenst the combination of all air forces, both military nnd civil in Europe, would eliminate war on that continent, and would tend toward the Improvement of European nlr service generally. Is the contention. . The nlr arm Is capable of such swift action and is so Ideally suited to the- - policing Job, It Is felt that nations could be left to build other arms Individually, If the airplane were left to the International authority. These suggestions for Increasing the power of the league are of course only of use In helping the league to maintain its present status and to make member nations abide by the covenant that is, by the status quo. They are of little assistance In eliminating the causqs of war. And If war is ever to become a thing of the past, if civilization is ever to survive, the causes of war must be removed. Accordingly, a suggestion of far deeper effect, and of far greater courage and thought Is that of Sir Samuel Hoare, the British foreign secretary, that an Inquiry be conducted Into the distribution of raw materials, "so that all fear of exclusion or monopoly may be removed for all time." "Expanding Population." The desire so often expressed for room for expanding populations Is largely a pose, for history has shown that very little of the population of the colonizing country ever moves Into the colony There are today only about 300,000 Europeans in the entire African continent, outside the Union of South Africa and some of the colonies bordering the Mediterranean sea. The problem Is an economic one which can be removed. Sir Samuel feels, by the Institution of equitable trading rights In many of the mandated areas. During the war, raw materials were controlled by governments, and were bought and sold to other governments, at fixed prices. Since the war this buying and selling has returned to private hands and it Is not a question of governmental allocation at all. There are certain abuses which must be avoided or corrected If the free trade principle can be started with respect to colonial mandates. There must be no monopolies which will result In prices thnt are excessive to the disadvantage of Importers, and there must be assurance that prices do not show too much of an advantage to the countries possessing the colonies. In such a conference about raw materials. It would be necessary to put some sort of International control over arrangements to restrict production and raise prices. It must be done without regard for nationality. Prohibitions of materials to any country or countries for special reasons should not be done without International agreement The British Trades Union Congress, with 3,000,000 members, as well as other organizations, has advocated what amounts to a general pooling of all the raw material resources of the world's colonies (except those which are Ernest Bivln, leader of the Trades Union Congress, has said: "If raw materials were socially owned. Internationally controlled and produced according to the world's requirements, and could be obtained by every Industrial nation by purchase and not by conquest, !K per cent of the causes of war would be removed." Sir Samuel care's suggestion Is to "summon a world economic conference and to place upon Its agenda the International control of the sources of supply of raw materials, with the application of the principle of economic equality of opportunity to all nations In the undeveloped regions of the earth."
