THE OREGON. 'DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND.' MONDAY, .MARCH ,24, 1919. GROWTH OF MAN HAS EVER BEEN TOWARD LEAGUE President Garfield of Williams - College Says Time Has Come to Try "Concert of Powers." DANGER THEORIES SCOUTED Principle of Internationality Has Already Proved Workable in the Keeping of Treaties. Washington, March 24. Ir. Harry A. Garfield, United States fuel administra tor and president of Williams college, indorsed the League of Nations plan of President Wilson Sunday. "As long ago as May 5. 1916," he said, "before the ' United States entered the war, I urged in a. speech at Tremont Temple in Boston the creation of a 'concert of powers' to briny about the end now embodied in the purposes of the League of Nations. Subsequent events have strengthened my convic tions. As I said then. There was a time not many generations ago when men thought as well as fought in small groups the tribe, the clanand by and by the narrow feudal state claimed the w hole allegiance of men. Gradually the idea of nationality emerged.' Time for Leagas Is Here "The time has come to try the experi ment of a 'concert of powers' to pro mote the welfare of men and nations. The opinion of the world is rapidly ap preciating the gathering force of ln terAationaJlty. We feel the presence of It as of something real and imminent. Ws are restive when governments talk of dictating terms to one another and we. are moved to repudiate domina tion, whether of our own or of another government, as inconsistent with equal and Just laws, equally enforced. . "Soma of our fellow , citizens argue that participation in the proposed league will rob us of some measure of sovereign power and that this is a new as well as dangerous proposal, but it is neither. Sovereignty Is Safe "If I may be pardoned for again re ferring to my speech of May 5: The new relation between states will neces sarily take somewhat from the sov ereignty of each, at least in practical results. No nation can henceforth be a law unto itself, but if the old formula Is insisted upon, each exercising its sov ereign powers, will choose to do that which all agree it ought to do. " 'But we have already overcome that difficulty. When- a sovereign state en ters Into a treaty with another sov ereign state each surrenders something. Thenceforth neither is as free to act as it was before. Internationality is there fore no new thing. The principle is, al ready established. "The balance of power in 1914 meant repression and prevention of growth. lest one nation become too strong. The League of Nations means cooperation among nations, not only for mutual pro tection, but that each may grow and .develop according to - the nature and genius of its people. "I cannot emphasize too strongly that I am heartily In favor of the League of Nations."
