The sudden ending of the great war left in existence the most power ful Uacue of nations the world has ever known. It was composed of a score of nations united by a great common cause and fighting for com mon ends fully understood.. It was within the power of that league of nations, in the determination of the i terms of peace stipulated for the end- ! ins of the war, to settle at the coun cil, table everything affecting and affected by the war, aud thereby to i give the world assurance that these i problems, at least, would not again menace its peace. , ; But the Paris pe;tee 1 conference, largely because of the influence of ; President Wilson, has failed to do 'the natural and essential things in cident to a peace council. It has scarcely touched its hand to the work of adjusting the economic, territorial and military problems presented at the war's ending; today these prob lems are more serious, the peace of the world is therefore now more in jeopardy, than it was the day the armistice was signed. Through the insistence of President Wilson the peace conference has left undone the things it ought to have done; the time of the conference has been ex pended developing a scheme of world government, a task which belonged, not to a peace conference, composed of men whose commissions are based upon military exigency, but to a legislative body representative of the peoples affected.

PHELPS GROCERY COMPANY so tie the problems immediately growing out of the war; it had no commission whatever to write a new constitution for the world, though it might properly have ca!!ed into being an international legislative body charged with this duty. It is evidently a part of the strat egy of President Wilson, whose can didacy for re-election as President ou the issuts he is creating is . fore shadowed by the recent statement of Norman Mack, former chairman of the Democratic national committee, to make it appear that he is now, as he was during the campaign of 1916, the world's one guarantee of peace The "he keeps us out of war" slogan has been revived. The effort is made to have i' appear that all those who are not in favor of President Wilson's, scheme of world reorganization, are apostles of war. though the chief argument against the plan proposed is that it does not remove the menace of war, but Involves us in entangle ments likely to keep us perpetually at war, and for causes in which we are not directly concerned. The people of this country favor a :ourt of naions for arbitration of international disputes aud the reduc tion of armaments. They notice, in connection with President Wilson's league scheme, that It is considered entirely consistent with the plan that one of the constituent nations Is to maintain the mastery "of the seas through the ownership of the world's most powerful navy. The people are not sure, therefore, that even In ex change for the surrender of national sovereignty apparently involved, we are to be insured against war, of the rule of force. But if we are to be come members of a world league, the people of this country undoubtedly favor the inclusion in the world cou siiiutiun oi certain reserved powers of American nationality. Such re served rights for Ihe Individual and the state governments were found essential to the acceptance of the American constitution. These are found set forth in the first ten amendments, and are known as the "bill of rights" of the constitution. They include provisions for freedom of speech and the press, the right to bear arms, right of trial by jury, etc. There are certain national rights which opponents of the league of nations scheme as proposed believe are menaced under its provisions, but which its friends say are not by any reasonable interpretation threatened. Then let there be included in this constitution of the league of nations, a bill of national rights something like this: "Nothing in this constitution shall be interpreted: "To supplant the Monroe doctrine; ("To substitute international for na'lonal sovereignty; "To impair or destroy the rights of American citizens at home or abroad; "To iimit thn right of the Ameri can people to determine for tiiem selvos their ovi domestic policies, particularly those bearing upon the la. ill and immigration; "To involve the United States hi any war without the specific approval of the American Congress; ' "To abrogate any guarantee of the American constitution; "To impose any liability for the policing or financing of any foreign government or territory, not author ized by the American Congress; "To prevent the United States from maintaining a3 large a navy a3 any other power; "To prevent the American govern ment from withdrawing from the proposed league of nations, by giving reasonable notice of intention, when ever the league operates to the serious impairment of just American rights and interests." If there are no hidden dangers in the proposed constitution of the league of nations, what possible ob jection can there be to the clear setting forth, within the document, of the things the American people would not surrender except through deception? The seed, not of peace, but of war, is in any governmental compact which leaves unsettled differences which may become Irreconcilable. The greatest war ever waged In the world, prior to the present war was the American Civil war. It was fought, necessarily, because the Am erican constitution failed to settle two fundamental questions: Human slavery; and the right of secession. With this precedent in view, foolish Indeed would be the policy of ac cepting the proposed constitution of a league of nations without settling, ho far as is possible, every question wWh in the future might, if left un determined, present to this country the alternatives of war, unequally waged, or the sacrifice of American fundamentals.
