clared. .
Considering the criticisms that
have been brought against the league
aa now contttltuted, Mr. Turner aaJd
the subject resolved Itself Into two
propositions: "Is the league of na

able peace, with justice, throughout
the -world?" and "'Are the eacrlflco

"The loaguo will bring about a
durable peue throughout the world
and a' pence of Justice," he declared,
after having summarized the pro
visions of the covenant. "The cov
enants have armed the league with
tooth, and without teeth the league
would ho a futile abstraction. It

the covenant shall become effective,
no nation on earth will ever be

to attack another nation without

of the executive council ot the league
nor after It has had Us can so Judged

"The league than will bring a dur

SAYS LEAGUE IS
"GENTLEMAN'S
AGREEMENT"
EACH PARTY MIST HONESTLY
DESIRE TO ADHERE TO THE
LEAGUE PRINCIPALS
Courage Needed Whether Wo Stand
SUM and Face Waiting World, or
. Go Forward ,
Washington, July 31 "Patriotism
of men who hold differing views on
the wisdom of ratifying the pesos
treaty including the league of na
tions covenant is not to be challeng
ed, so long as they think above the
plane . of partisanship," Secretary
Lane said tonight before a ' mass
meeting of government employes. "It
is not an easy question to answer,"
Mr. Lane Said, adding that it was
"one to (which we wish an American
answer."
"And it takes courage," he declar
ed, "whether we stand still and risk,
the scorn of a waiting, eager world,
or break through our inertia and
take the step that leads to a multi
tude of new relationships and pos
sible obligations."
The view of the ordinary citizen,
the secretary thought, was that aa .
many obstacles as possible should be
put in the way of nations desiring
to make -war "but to be left as free
as possible to follow our own designs.
knowing that these do not endanger
the peace of tho Vorld."
We 'will not bazard our national
lite or the right of our people to
determine their own institutions and
destiny,"-he said. "But (with these
safeguarded we will go far for tho
sake of the world.
'Democracy after all Is but a
counting ot noees, and we may pre
sume much for a policy which the .
chosen leaders of the two bundred
snd fifty million ot tbe most civilis
ed of the world's people have en
dorsed." Mr. Lane said be believed every
one would have preferred that the
league should bave been bora in a
"different iway, at a different time."
When Theodore IRooseveR returned
from his trip to lAlfrlca, be added, the
former president made the strongest
appeal of any national leader: had.
then voiced "for such a,' league."
"Then was the day for its crea
tion," Secretary Lane continued
But the world did not see the dan
ger it was in."
Such men as President Tart and
Mr. Root commltteed themselves to
the project then, Mr. lane eald, but
the stern figure of the kaiser back
ed by his standing army of 3,000,000
men" stood In their path. William
Jennings Bryan, as secretary of stale
had -moved In the same direction
with bis negotiation of arbitration
treaty, Mr. Lane continued, adding:
"liet us be Ifrank. "We of America
did not take these efforts of Mr.
Bryan iwlth any degree of serloue-
ss. We thougbt him a noble-mind
ed visionary. Yet his plan Is Incor
porated as the first step of the pyr
amid of the present proposed
league."
It was not until the war came that
any Ibut tentative steps could be
taken toward the formation of a
poace Hea&ue, Mr. Lane said, and If
the president bad not made tho ef
fort to secure It, "we would have
said be was a quitter."
Secretary ILane said be had been
unable to find In the covenant any-
surrender of American rights more
than every existing rule of Interna
tional daw involved. K was. be said.
"essentially a gentlemen's agree
ment," based on the assumption that
each party to it honestly desired to
adhere to the principle for which tbs
league stands.
