Chances of War K emote
There is a third answer to people
who object that article X ia likely to
involve us in wars all over the world.
Those who look to the successful op
eration of ithe league do no expect war
at all. The obligation of the member
of the league to impose in the first in
stance a universal boycott against a
recalcitrant faithless member consti
tute a most formidable threat against
any member seeking to violate article
X or the covenants of the following
articles. Such a boycott will m a with
ering ostracism and isolation of a na
tion that few could endure.. -.No single
nation, unless tt be the Vn;td States
or some of the greater Soutit American
nations, could live if denied food ami
raw niutenals from the r.'-t of the
world, and if forbidden the use of a
foreign market for the tale of their
products.
Minatory" influence
Second, no nation would willingly
face the overwhelming force of the
world organized to punish it for viola
tion of its covenants. The minatory in
fluence of a world league, wit a its mem
bors obligated to unite iu economic aud
military pressure, if need be can hard
ly be exaggerated. Of course if a num
ber of nations entered into a conspi
racy to fight and subdue the rest of
the world, then this minatory influ
ence might not be controlling, but in
unit case all the members of the lea
gue would wish to join in the war, just
as they did in this, and defeat such
conspiracy and vindicate the power of
the league for its useful ends.
What we are now answering ia the
objection that there, will be a lot of
little wars all over the world, in which
we sh.ii 1 1 be engaged, which will claim
our money and our men. It Is in re
straint of the smaller war in which a
large nation attempts to bully a weak
er on that the minatory effect of the
league will Ibo so controlling. Tho re
sult will be that the league having the
power completely to suppress the bully
ing nation will not need to exercise
that power. Indeed it is hardly too

Former Resident Of

ernoon at his home, 689 Irvinjj street,
following a short illness. Tho funeral

lodge, of which Mr. Toevi was a mem
ker, and funeral announcement nill be

Mr. Toevs was a native of Berdjansk,

progress olf the world to secure useful ,
changes in boundary. We need, not de-
ny that a war of aggression may j
achieve a useful end, but-the basis!
upon which the league rents is that
such advantages are outweighed by
the suffering in modem war and" the
possibility that a small war may lead
to a general war aud an enormous
damage to civilization. The effort in'
tho formulation of the present treaty I
is to make just boundaries and the I
effect of article X woll doubtless be :
to maintain those boundaries, in so i
far as to prevent foreign aggression '
from affecting them.
Ireland Not Affected
The suggestion that article X was '
'ntended to bring to the aid of Great ,
Britain the power of the United States
to suppress a revolution in Ireland is
of course- wholly unfounded, because j
a revolution in Ireland would not be j
an attack upon the territorial integri- j
ty or political independence of Great
Britain by external aggression. I
The insinuation against article X
that Great Britain secured it in order I
to get the aid of the United States
and other members ef the league to do- i
fend and protect "her far flung em- j
pi re" is also without basis. No war du
the last century has been begun against
Great Britain to take away territory .
from her. Neither she nor the United
Slates would Ifeel called upon to in- :
voke the defense of the league to pro-
tect their boundaries. They can de- !
fend themselves. iNo other state is like- '
ly to attack them, with the purpose of
violating article X. The reason for r- i
tide X is the protection of weaker na- !
tions against stronger ones. Great ntt- I
tions ' are seldom attacked except in 1
cose of a conspiracy like that of this
present war, and when such con
spiracy exists, all of the members of
the league will be anxious to join in
its suppression. Article X is one of the
great stops forward provided in tho
league for the securing olf general
peace.
ROLL OF HONOR
Lessons from History
This conclusion as to the minatory
effect, of the covenants of the league
and the organisation of its members to
enforce them does not rest merely on
an a priori reasoning. We have in our
own luatorv a striking confirmation
of it. In 1823, the Holy Alliance con
sisting of all the powerful nations of
r.urope. crcept reat.Hritain, pave in
dication of an intontion to air Spain
in recovering her lost colonies in this
Western Hemisphere. We had recogniz
ed the independence of those coJonios,
Canning, the British minister for for
eign affairs, urged upon President
Monroe and John Quiucy Adams, tho
secretary of stnitc, tho wisdom of unit
ing with 'England in a league to resist
the Holy Alliance in overthrowing the
independence, of these new American
states. Thomas Jefferson was consult
ed, and ho advised making a lenguo
with England which ho said would
not be an entangling alliance against
whrch he had warned his coiintrvmcn.
but would be justified by Ms great pub
lic purpose. Monroe and Adams, how
ever, thought it wiser to act alone.
John (!. Calhoun, the soerctury of war,
advised strongly against sole action.
Nevertheless, President Monroe, in his
nunsngc. of that year, made the decla
ration which has since been known as
tho Monroe Doeitrine, an I notified the
miMiibers of tho Holy Alliance that the
United Ktate would regard any at
tempt on their part to overthrow an
independent state in the Western Hem
isphere as against the interest of the
United 8'ntes which wo should resist.
Calhoun and others thought tTTat such
a declaration and policy would cer
tainly involve Us in many wars.
What has been the result f For now
nearly a century, the Monroe Dwtrine
has been maintained inviolate through
a constant assertion of it iby succeed
ing administrations and without firing
a shot or the loss of a single soldier.
During the Civil war, Napoleon the HI
did attempt to violate it by getting up
Maximilian in Mexico as an emperor.
As soon as our hands were ifree, how
ever, and we were able to send fcSheri
dun with an army to the Mexican bor
der, Js'ajioleon withdrew his French
troops and Maximilian collapsed. If
such a threat by the United States
alone, not always m strong as she now
is maintainea inviolate a aeciarauon
like the Monroe Doctrine for a cen
tury, it follows a fatiori that tho dec
laration of the league oiriting the pow
er of the world in proposed mainte
nance of a similar doctrine will lie
eijimlly effective, and that it will not
involve the members of the league in
any more wars than we have b-en in
volved in toy reason of the Monroe
Ioctrin".
Will It Betard Progress
inally, It is objected to article X
that it is too rigid, that progres "f
the world may need rearrangement of
boundaries, an enlargement of one
country and a reduction of another or
the creation of new slates. Article X
does not forbid changes in boundaries
or the enlargement or redaction of
states or the establishment of new
states. All that It forbid is the taking
or territory tiy force from a mem
ber of the league or overthrowing ts
government y volence. ArtrU X does
nut protect anv nation against intern
1 disturbance, rebelling or revolution,
It does not prevent the division of
s'ates by these means. The objection
asfume that war by-one nitin na
tion upon another is aerPMary to the
