COVENANT AXD TREATY
Anyone who undertakes to separ
ate the league of nations covenant
from tie body of the peace treaty,
according to Senator Knox's plan,!
will certainly have a tig, complex
dissecting job on his bands. . j
It is reported that the league is
specifically referred to in the treaty J
In 72 places outside of the formal
covenant Itself, and that nearly allj
of these references have to do with
the assignment to the league, for.
future settlement or administration. I
of matters not otherwise disposed of)
in the treaty. j
Only a few of these need be men-j
tioned to show the big place given
the league in the general scheme of
world-settlement worked out by the
peace conference.
All the colonies taken from the
central powers are to be administer
ed by mandatories acting under the
authority of the league of nations
and responsible to it.
The league, through commissions
appointed by it, Is to govern the Saar
Talley for 15 years and control Dant
zig indefinitely as a free city, thus
solving two peculiarly different
problems.
The league is to supervise the
preservation of neutrality in the zone
established east of the Rhine.
It is required to act as a tribunal
In establishing the Belgian-German
frontier.
It is to maintain the right of al
lied shipping in German ports.
It is to establish a court of last ap
peal to determine riparian rights on
the Danube and other international
(waterways.
It is to arrange and conduct an in
ternational labor conference next
(all, and to create and supervise a
permanent world-labor organization.
MEXICAN SORENESS
Mexico is sore because American
troops went across the Rio Grande
river and drove off a lot of revolu
tionary bandits who were spattering
deadly bullets Into El Paso. That
is to say, the Mexican government
is sore. And that, in turn, is to say
that President Carranza' Is sore.
The United States can stand it, be
cause that Is the habitual state of
mind of Carranza and those associ
ated with him in his so-called gov
ernment. The United States can
stand it even If It represents the
sentiment of the 'Mexican people in
general. Those ignorant masses
iave been taught to hate and fear
the Yankees. A long course of un
precedented tolerance and humility
on the part of the United States does
not seem to have lessened their
hatred much, nor Improved their un
derstanding. Such being the case,
it is proDably well to Instill Into them
wholesome fear of our military
power and effectiveness.
Prompt action In every crisis, and
stern punishment for every offense
committed against American life,
right or property, will tend to make
the border safe from raids and re-

store peace within Mexico. It will
give the Mexicans, public officials
and peons alike, more respect for
the Gringos. And then, in time,
they may come to understand the
honesty and friendship of the United
States, and behave themselves de

Some Germans are highly indig
nant over the discovery that a con
tract has been made with an Amer
ican film company calling for the
Importation Into Germany of $5,000,
000 worth of Yankee films a year.
The indignation, however, seems
to emanate mostly from the German
film interests. They Insist that Ger
many ought to be exporting films
Instead of importing them. The Ger
man press is said to show little en
thusiasm for their point of view.
One German paper tells the blunt
truth about the matter, explaining
that "German films have become un
salable anywhere outside of Germany
because of their unspeakable tilth!
ness." Another paper corroborates
this, saying that "under the pre
tense of enlightening the public, the
German film-producers cater to the
most debased human Instincts."

Honolulu, T. H., June 25. With
a sack of gold amounting to $3,600
tied to his back, Bert Bower, ex
convict and former baseball player,
lost his life in an attempt to swim

lulu harbor last night while on a

nished Bowers the money with which
It was intended to secure opium.

ONLY THEIR LIBERTY
Tiranu, Albania, May 5. (By
mail.l Albunla desires nothlfift
from the eace conference except Its
liberty.
It wants neither mandates nor
protectorates but simply self-gov
eminent. The aimple mountaineers
trust the soldiers of no nation and
the presence of foreign uniforms in
their mountain fastnesses serves
only to goad them Into revolt against
the invader.
The only uniform which is wel
comed Is the American. Albanians
associate the American uniform
whether it be that of an army offi
cer of the Hoover Food Mission or
the American Red Cross, with char
ity aid the helping hand. They put
the broadest interpretation upon the
entry of the American Red Cros in
to their country and see in It a sign
thnl America will back them up In

WANTS ALL-AMERICAN
OF
Xew York. June 24. An All-American
congress of women suffragists
Is proposed by Alicia Morean, presi
dent of the national women's union
of the Argentine. Her proposal has
been received here by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, president of the In
ternational Woman Suffrage associa
tion.
Mrs. Catt has not yet acted upon
the suggestion but It is announced
thai she soon will do so. Signora
Morean proposes that a Pa'n-Amerl-ican
conference be held In Buenos
Aires in July, 1921, for the study
of the civil and political status of
women.
. "It Is proposed," says Signora
Morean, "that we concentrate our
energies on a general movement
throughout the Americas In behalf
of our Ideals, being confident that
the cooperation of the delegates of
the various countries will encourage
the discussion of the different prob
lems raised relating to the position
of women and will be the means of
bringing forward suggestions for the
ultimate solution of such difficul
ties." "We hope that our sisters in the
United States of America will give
us their active support: the world
wide prestige won by the part they
have played In this movement and
the result attained makes them
stand out as an example among the
democratic institutions, and will ,be
a sure sign of ultimate success of
our work."
