of resources and impoverishment beof workers in time of peace—this ing the reverse of what happens under the admirable system of universal military training and service as practiced mense majority of the leading advocates of the League to Enforce Peace have failed as individuals to protest This explains the fundamental reasons why they have failed to accomplish past and anything worth while in the why they are hot entitled to confidence as regards anything they say about the future They do not keep their promises On this count alone fhelr proposals should be disregarded The proposals of this league vary somewhat from time to time hut In their essence they are that nations shall arbitrate all questions and that they shall all agree to enforce the decrees of the arbitral court by war Dealing with the present not1 the future this means that we would have to submit the question as to whether we would admit Asiatic immigrants to our shores or whether' Mexico should be taken possession of and made orderly by some European power or whether Japan should be allowed - to take possession of Magdalena bay or whether the Monroe Doctrine should he abolished to an arbitral tribunal on which Chinese and Turkish judges deliver the casting votes' It mightmeans also' that if in some quarrel of doubtful quality such a tribunal decided in favor of Siam against France or Persia against Russia we should be obliged under penalty of breaking faith to devote our whole military and economic strength to a long drawn and bloody war for a cause In which our people had no concern and of which they had no knowledge and in some place where we would hardly exert even a tiny fraction: of our strength and that only ' at enormous expense ' y The most unscrupulous

at war with one another She has deported thousands of civilian noncombatants men find women from France and tens of thousands from Belgium' and an- nounces that she will deport hundreds of thousands more These captured civilians are to serve as state-slavin Germany and by their toll to make easier the conquest by Germany of their fellow countrymen Nothing approaching this outrage has been perpetrated since the close of the dreadful religious war of the seventeenth century Germany’s act Is one of infamy and the act' of any nation or set of men or individual man who falls to protest as strongly as possible against It or whose conduct tends to distract attention from It la In the Interest of the wrongdoer and is Itself infamous The agitation of the League to Enforce Peace at this
