By soany It Is said to be the strongest Indictment ot the war ad ministration given by a former vice man. Captain Rlckeabacknr tt known everywhere as the ace ot American aces. (By depute BdafJe RlefaaAaaker) For a soldier, the league of nations has Just one meaning war. It la a contract to fight. If we Join the league, we agree to fight when call ed In to do so. International lawyers aad diplo matists may argue this point. Boaaa say that we may sign the league cov erant and still not fight unless we want. They argue that afte rour at lit: czil ss as, till are at liberty" to go In oy stay out. The soldier does not look at the league covenant In this way. He does not bother1 with tho law or diplo macy. We sign a contract, we must keep It. We give a promise, we must redeem it. Tie does ont even think about whether it Is morals or law that binds up. He only knows that If we give a pledge we are olng to stand by it. Take tot instance, article z the war article of the league. The soldier reads there, that the -asembers of tkjsslrue Vuadertake to respect aad piaiena agahut external aggrea' Mam" tha territory aad taaeaeadeaea" of all other members. That to the taagnsgs tt the aaveaaat. The sol dier translates that language' la Ma salad taUUatted Stat. Ms theaT wMld'aat thaipkdg. U signed by form. 7 "The United States undertake "to respect and 'preserve agalast 'exter nal aggression" the territory of 'nil members of the league. Add to this that to the soldier "extoraal aggres sion" Is merely a polite name far war and you have article z as he sees It. Everything else Is to him Just camouflage. We give our word to stand ready to fight, oh call, for any other nation In the league that la suffering from a case of "external aggression." Once given we have to keep It. The trouble might come In China. or Slam, Greece, India or Egypt. Wo might -be called to tight to heep 3, 000,000 Chinese In Shantung under Japanese rule, or to hold India la the British empire. We might met like the Job, we might even sympa thize with the Chinese, or Hindus but we should have given our word, in a plain contract and we should have to keep It. That is the way a plain soldier looks at the league contract, and 95 In a 100 soldiers do not like It. They have seen foreign nations aad know they are foreign to us. They know that every foreign nation, In war as in pcaco, acts first and last for itself. It a foreign nation gets info war while acting In Its own in terest, they do not see why they should be shipped to Europe or Asia to help it. They do not understand why American blood should be shed to butld up an foreign nation. There fore, they are against taking the pledge they are against article z. thev are against tho covenant. To fight In war .1 sthe solemnest business on earth. Those" who have fought know this better than any body else, and tbey are agalast fighting tor any country except tha United States.
