Without League of
Nations.
democracy, as a stable form of govern
ment as we know It, is possible only
with highly educated populations and
a large force of men who are capable
of government. Few of the men who
compose these governments have had
any actual experience at governing
and their populations are woefully il
literate.
“They will require a generation of
actual national life in peace to de
velop free education and skill in gov-
ernment.
“Unless these countries have a guid-
Ing hand and referee In their quarrels,
a court of appeals for their wrongs,
this Europe will go back to chaos.
If there is such an institution, rep
resenting the public opinion of the
world, and able to exert its authority,
they will grow Into stability. We can
not turn back now.
“There is another point which also
needs emphasis. World treaties hith
erto have always been based on the
theory of a balance of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker, partly with a view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
degree with a view to maintaining OC-
cupations and positions for the re-
actionarles of the world.
“The balance of power is born of
armies and
navies,
aristocracies,
autocracies, and reactionaries general
ly, who can find employment and
domination in these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for a shorter or longer time, but
never more than a generation.
“America came forward with a new
Idea, and we insisted upon its injec
tion into this peace conference. We
claimed that It was possible to set
up such a piece of machinery with
such authority that the balance of
power could be abandoned as a relic
of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire construction of this treaty and
every word and Une In it to bend to
this idea.
“Outside of the League of Nations
the treaty itself has many deficiencies.
It represents compromises between
many men and between many selfish
Interests, and these very compromises
and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations that have entered
upon its signature, and the very safety
of the treaty itself lies In a court of
appeal for the remedy of wrongs in
the treaty.
Herbert Hoover Is so deeply con-
med over the opposition to the
ague of Nations In the United
Ites that he has let himself be in-
Mewed at length on the League sit-
tion. In a talk with the New York

(Editorial)
HIGH COST OF LIVING
The federal government has launched
relentless war against profiteering.
Various states are following this exam
ple and countless cities are also taking
steps to see that the high cost of living
Is reduced.
All these efforts, however, are
loomed to failure unless the people
themselves take a hand in the-matter.
Unless the men and women who do the
buying Insist on getting full value for
iheir money and patronize only those
merchants who are satisfied with le-
ultimate profits, it will be impossible to
reduce prices to where they should he.
Careful buying will leave almost
every family a margin of savings out
it the family earnings. Dollars saved
today are “cheap dollars,” because their
buying power is less than in years gone
by and less than it will be in the not
tar distant future. The government
offers the opportunity of putting these
cheap dollars to work, earning interest
while they are returning to their nor
mal value.
This opportunity is the Registered
Treasury Savings Certificate, the War
Savings Stamp and the Thrift Stamp.
Investments in these are guaranteed
by the government. Money invested
In these securities with the accrued in

ment on ten days' notice. If Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates or War
Savings Stamps are held until matu
rity. so much the better. Rut whether
held that long or not, they form an
excellent way of fighting the high cost
of living. Work and save.

Adequate Telephone Rates Must be Provided
It is obvious to everyone that the operating income of any business must of necessity be
sufficient to meet its operating expenses and permit of a reasonable return upon the capital
invested.
The telephone business affords no exception to this accepted and well understood fact.
On account of the general high costs prevailing for labor and materials in these unusual
times, the people have been willing to accept advances in the cost of almost every necessity.
The Telephone Company has had to meet the same increases in costs of materials and labor
the same as all other industries and business and asks its patrons to recognize this fact and accept
the increase in telephone rates in the same spirit of fairness and consideration, realizing that only
through adequate rates can the telephone company provide adequate service.
