Appealing to every family that must give soldiers if the League of Nations is rejected, and declaring that there is only one league constitution before the world and that people must accept this or nothing, Senator G. M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, formerly chairman -of the committee on foreign relations, paused a moment in his speech yesterday at Chicago before! the Chamber of Commerce, and added “I am for it.” “We need not deceive ourselves with foolish hopes that wars will naturally cease,” Senator Hitchcock said. “Exper- ience has shown that they come whether nations are barbarous or civilized, christian or pagan, educated or illiterate. “They will continue in the future as they have in the past unless nations unite in a plan to avoid them. For the first time in history nations are making an effort to do this. “Will the efforts of the men at Paris succeed or fail? The answer is of tremendous importance to families who must furnish Soldiers if they do fail. It is of great importance to taxpayers. If the league is not formed the peace signed at Paris will be only a truce and every nation will resume war preparations on a bigger scale than ever. Taxes in the United States to cover these preparations would run into hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Most of this burden would be in the form of taxes on incomes and business profits. “Perhaps the establishment of a league of nations never was possible before. A great change, however, has come over the world. In the past the world has been cursed by auto- cratic governments bent on conquests. “Now, however, the nations of the world have become or by our aid may become, largely democratic. It should be com- paratively simple for them to make an agreement to establish international peace based on justice. “That is the effort now being made at Paris. , America leads. Her representatives are devoting their energies to securing for humanity the great boon of a world free from future wars. In this historic effort the leader is the American President, Woodrow Wilson. “Shall we support this effort or repudiate it? Already op- position is strongly developed. Considering these objections, it was first said the league would be a sort of supernation with a great standing army and a navy capable of destroying any particular nation. This objection disappeared as soon as the league constitution was published. . “Second, the objection was made that the United States surrendered a part of its sovereignty by entering the league. It has now become evident that neither the United Stats nor any other nation surrenders anything, as the league is not a government and has no sovereign powers. : “Third, objection has been made that the United States abandons the Monroe doctrine. How can this doctrine be abandoned by joining a league which proposes to put a stop to aggressions by force against every nation, including those in! America? ] “Fourth, objection has been made that British self-gov- erning colonies, like Canada and Australia, may be admitted to the league, which it is claimed would give Great Britain five votes to our one. If it were true it would not matter, be- cause all important questions must be decided by unanimous vote. Also, these colonies are now almost completely indepen- dent of Great Britain and Canada, especially, has many in- terests in common with the United States. “Fifth, it has been abjected that Japan might insist on hav- ing the league settle the immigration question and through the league force us to admit Japanese. If she could she could also force us to change our laws of marriage and divorce, taxation or any other domestic question. The league however, deals ogly_ with interational questions and has no relation to domestic affairs. “I feel tht these objections will be brushed aside and that men will meet the big issue squarely. Our answer must be yes or no, and I am sure there is but one correct answer and that is yes. “I believe the people of the world will accept the league as it has been prepared in Paris because they must realize the promise the nations make to each other will act as an effectual preventive of war.” — e The bill now before the legislature which would deprive trial judges from fixing 8 maximum term for convicts sentenced under the indeterminate sentence law, should not meet with ap- proval. The theory of the bill, as explained, is that prison of- ficials come to know their prisoners better than the judges, and are better able to form an opinion as to when they should be released. To a certain degree, and in a small number of cases, this might prove correct, but in the ordinary cases the presnding judge is able to arrive at a definite conclusion as to just what punishment would be sufficient and he should have the privilege of designating the length of terms. Such a law would not only curb the power of a judge, but would be un- fair to a majority of men convicted of crime. —0 Minnesota will be a contender in the Victory Liberty Loan for the historic American flag which will be awarded in the next campaign to the state obtaining the largest oversubscrip- tion, officials of the Ninth district Liberty Loan organization announce. This emblem floated ‘over the capitol dome in Washington on a number of histori¢ occasions after the United States entered the war. It was flown during the inaugural cere- monies in 1917 when President Wilson delivered his war ad- dress to Congress, April 2, 1917, during the passage of the German war resolution, April 4, 5, and 6, 1917, during visits of various foreign missions to the capitol, and finally on the day the armistice was signed. y Influenza is spreading in several parts of the state.
