League Campaign Manager in Salt Lake City. W. II. Boyd, Jr., campaign manager of the League to Enforce Peace was in Salt Lake City this week to meet with the representatives of the Leagu in Utah to urg greater activity among those advocating the ratification of the League Covenant as a part of the eace Treaty. There is no doubt in order for the League of Nations, or any organization which has for its object permanent world sucpeace, needs the support of the United States to be assured of cess. There is so much aristocracy still prevailing in Europe that it takes a nation with ideals like that of the United States, which has all the resources and territory that it desires, to give the League the basis on which to found the principles which are to form the ultimate constitution of the League. Before the great catastrophe which prevailed for four and a half years in Europe, the Germans were considered the most virile people of Europe and for that reason they were the dominant race of Europe, which gave them the position of the leading commTheir commercial supremacy made nation in Europe. a-rial of to the smaller countries of Europe, them looked up by many which did not enter the countries and among many of the neutral looked upon as the dominant war, the German people are still people of Europe, and with proper exercise of secret diplomacy ihe Germans may still be a position to gather around her enough of the smaller nations, like Holland, Denmark, Sweden and others, so as to make her commercial power equal to that of the nations which formed the Allies against the Central Powers.

Some of the Senators in their opposition to the The same methods prevail in the marketing of other necessaries of life which has resulted in many instances in the cost of food products being higher than they would be if they were handled more directly from the producer to the consumer. The smelter men at first blamed the local deale for raising the prices of commodities because they were given an increase of 50 cents a day in their wages for the last half of July.
