I great re .t sun urged by whim persons why should keep out 'of the League of Nations is the ,.iecie reason, wit4pther persons, why America should go in, heart and soul. has JiiadiL This reat war, sayhn-iome- r, "u the most powerful nation on the earth, by all the rest a the mightiest, and acknowledged as the leader of them alh Rhall and we surrender this proud our placer eur sovereignty, yield prestige, waive rard submit ourselves as equals and as partners with the other members of the family of nations, agreeing to become at best one of the leaders instead of remaining tee one undisputed thief? In these very facts and queries, rfply the other side, are suggested the dangers which it must be our present effort to avoid. By com--T- ng To the forefront among the, nations, we have taken a position which is not without its danperils. Power is always associated with of an to tends aggravation gers. Supremacy eelt an egotis n, a passion, a perversion of the better national .qualities, a destruction of and human sympathy. When men talk about our outstanding supremacy as dem- -. castrated in the, great war, and when they lament the possible loss of it if we go into the proposed League, they unconsciously pattern after and reiterate the arrogance and bumptiousness which characterized Germany after the war with Fiance in 1870-- 1, and which have brought that haughty empire to Its present . straits.' If physical supremacy is all that America has gained out of the war, the millions of our Allies whose blood has soaked the soil of Belgium, Franco and Italy have died in vain. If this to all the world has profited by these years of terror and devastation the throwing town of one dominating power and the eleva-gim- m f anotbetia:Atie'pnee-has-beefearfully and the result Insufficient If this is the high " fulfillment of America's hopes, the realization of American ideals, many millions of us have tk bean following deceptive light and are a sense of the egregious error.' But the great heart, of America has not made any such mistake, and will not suffer that the "nationar record shall he sullied by any such misinterpretation of the countrys real sentiment Our reconstructive ideals are dill virile and tangdile; and they are not to . be dismissed gr destroyed by mere criticism nf a proposed plan for attaining them. To find fault with the suggested covenant" is easy for those skilled in controversy, but to' discard it because of these alleged faults Is cow- ardieeiTo amend it so that the faults shall be jninimized and a more perfect structure erected, is quite another matter. This is the test of the courage of constructive faith. And Una is the test to which America proposes to put its statesmen, regardless of all thought of politics. In tl.e,3 meantime, what right to be consulted or trusted have those who would sweep away not only the present draft for the 'League of Nations but even the Idea of such a fact, without offering something better-t- or anything at all to pul in its place? sm t IX !'

BILL. PASS THE -- tatl-ende- rs. gull-cigare- TREATIES ENOUGH, BUT NO PEACE. student of diplomacy, with special fondness, for. digging Into those phases of it which are represented in the negotiation of, treaties, has recently compiled a series of interesting statistics from which he is able lo declare that from UPS B. C. to 18G1 A. IX there were only 227 years of peace as compared with 3.3S9 years of war upon this belligerent globe which we inhabit. He finds that in the last three centuries mere have been no less than 268 wars in Europe alone. In the more than 33 centuries over which his studies extend, he computes that more than 8,000 treaties of. peace were concluded; and while each one was meant to be lasting, the average time they remained in force was only about two years. The reasons for the disruntion of these treaties are almost as numerous and varied as the treaties themselves. By the very terms of most of them, the arrangement that was to Impose peace was the precise cause of war. Some were admittedly nothing but a truce, to give the exhausted belligerents a breathing Speinn which to .recuperate and resume hostilities more violently than, before. Others were so outrageously unjust in bartering away small nations amid the mad scramble of larger powers fo'r adclitlori'arierritory "as "the spoils of conquest, that the seeds of revengeful strife were openly and defiantly, if not designedly, planted. In a very few instances it has been sought, with apparent sincerity but with curious shortsightedness in the light of future events, to establish conditions that should insure lasting peace. These tremendous lessons of history have connection with the profound significance-i- n labors and- - aims of the congress now sitting in Paris to set in order the affairs of the world, after four years of such carnage as was never before dreamed of. Inasmuch as all previous treaties have failed to make the peace condition permanent, it is obvious that they are mainly of present value as showing how not to do TL But this negative value is by no means to be despised. The world today can distinctly profit by the failures of the past, for in any age like causes may be expected to produce like results. The statesmen of today, with all the warnings of Jour thousand years before them, will not be held blameless if they fall into the eame old blunders.
