THE WORLD PEACE LEAGUE "We should realize," says former Premier Asqulth, addressing his fellow-Britons, 1 "that a league of na tions Is neither a vague political ab atractloa nor an empty rhetorical formula, but a concrete and definite Idea, and that Its embodiment In practical ahape la by far the ' most argent constructive problem of In ternational statesmanship." Similar statements hare been lately made by the preaent British premier and by representatives of Che French government. They are of especial Interest to Americans be cause the suggestion of a league of nations to enforce peace Is distinct ly an American Idea, which was re garded by our French and British friends until recently aa no more than a "vague political abstraction" aad an "empty rhetorical formula." - It has long been a part of the American pacifist propaganda. For mer President Roosevelt -was urging It before the war. President Wilson lost no time In lending It his offi cial sanction after our entrance into the war had given us a voice In al ginnlng; that the dream of a United The principle was of slow growth. owing to the difficulty felt particu larly by European powers of ellmi-;ln8 mating national prejudice anil tra dition and thinking In the new. In ternational way that comes more natural to Americans. Its triumph, however, was' Inevitable. '"' ;i Allies and neutrals alike are corn log to see that It Is as necessary for aatlons' to organize " and stand to gether for the purpose of orderly, ivtllzed life as it was for our Am- rican colonies to cohere In the be ginning; that the dream of a United (Kates of the World Instead of a abaos of warring nations is no more visionary than was the dream of a United States of American Instead r a congeries of quarrelling states, Is It too much to hope that such a policy, worked out Internationally, say yet bring the whole world the teneflts we ourselves have already gained from it? , FIGHTTNO FOR MONET The German press still insists that We went to war for financial reasons, and are "fighting for money." . It is a waste of time to argue with the German press, but the 'charge is so curious that an American cannot help noticing It. The German argument Is that we were afraid of losing the big sums the allies owed us for war materials, Save on (i KM INK PINTS (J' AtT IIAI.K OAK 10 IKtt. LIMIT KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY FIRST and so we jumped In to save them and get our money back. "The allies may have owed us, al together. In various ways, several billions of dollars. For most of It we had good aecurlty. Now here we are, having spent already sev- eral times as much as those debts amounted lo, planning the further expenditure of enough money to buy the German empire outright with the specific understanding that we make no elalm to territory, war In demnity or special trade rights. We need not blame The Germans, however, for misrepresenting us. Such unselfish Idealism Is Incom prehensible beyond the Rhine. TRUSTING THE' PEOPLE There were ' plenty " of persons who said, last year, that the Ameri can people would not limit their food consumption voluntarily, and would not Increase food production except for big profit. The food ad ministration took a different view. Ita efforts were based on faith In the ' average American. Present facts show how that faith was merited. Without rationing, and virtually without compulsion, as a result of appeals to their patriotism and humanity, the American people have saved enough wheat to supply our hungry allies with 140,000,000 bushels out of a crop that barely sufficed for our normal needs. They have likewise economised on pork until our European " friends' nave what they need, and we have a bil lion-pound surplus accumulated. They nave economise, on neei uduii they made It possible to send the allies from 60 to 75 times as much ' ' as we used to send them. They have,oy. ou economised 'on 'sugar so ' faithfully that they are saving 400,000 tons a year for export. The farmers, Instead of refusing to grow wheat without a govern ment bonus In the form of higher prices, and In spite of discouraging labor conditions, have raised a crop bigger than any In our history ex cept one. It should be noted, too, that they have Increased our stock of cattle, sheep and hogs, despite normal demand, FnnA consumers and food nrodu-1 .,. v... ma in it. m!lng the earthquake shock on Sun- cerv siiav uo v . - spirit that animates the 4,000 "P - resentatlves of the food administra tion who are , giving, their services for nothing and paying their own menses. 1 . , . - - erican people, in ract, mat is ""Takllma on Saturday.
