Established 1873) <ED> LEAGUE OF NATIONS FOR By FRANK B. KELLOGG, Republican United States Senator from Minnesota | (Copyright, 1919, by the N. E. A.) I believe the time has come to try to estab- lish a league to prevent war and to enforce peace, . which may not be an entire pre- ventive, but, backed by a world public sentiment, will have a tre- mendous influence toward main- taining just and equitable relations between nations and ‘ preventing the horrors of war. If ever there was a period in, history when it behooved states- men to exert themselves to the utmost to find some means for the KELLOGG settlements of those controversies which divide nations other than the resort to arms, the present is the time. I think it quite proper that when the issues are settled around the council table, the issues of in-| demnity to Belgium, France and Serbia, and other nations, what shall be done with the German navy and the German military /armaments, and many other questions, it would be -proper to take up the question of a league of nations, not alone be- tween the belligerent countries, but ‘with all the civilized nations of. the world, because the neutral nations are as much interested in the subject as we are. . r AGAINST By PHILANDER C. KNOX, Republican United States Senator from Pennsylvania i (Copyright, 1919, by the N. E..A.) *1 should not vote for any treaty that subjected this nation’s judgment and ‘conscience as to its ; perrogative-to the will,of a foreign majority.. I should not. wish to see this country,signatory to an agree- ment which the American people would be likely to repudiate if put to the test. I ’*think . the American people (North, South, East and West) be-, lieve-in Americanism. ‘I think they believe in nationalism as an instru- e's| ment for good. ‘I’do not for’ one NOX vital interests or its war-making moment believe they would be willing to see this ccuntry ordered about by a hetrogeneous world league of all nations. I do not think that, when they come to study the subject, they will be willing to go further than a policy of nationalism a little mitigated and accommodat- ed to a judicious and limited accord upon certain common mutual concerns. ence Any “league of nations” should await future exhaustive consideration. The issues of the war were issues between the central powers and. the allies and ourselves. The function of a peace treaty is to settle those issues. The issues as to a league of nations and a ¥Yevision of the laws‘of the seas are issues between the allies themselves and between them and. each of:them and all of: the neutral powers. Upon these latter issues there exists the widest diversity of opinion, and it is wise not to force upon a conference that must adjust the comparatively simple demands of the one, the complexities and confusions of the other. WHY, THE VERY IDEA! Governor Cantu of Lower California says Mex- ico will not sell that peninsula to Uncle Sam. We bet Cantu’s right. All northern Mexico is more precious than ever before to Mexico. Gold discoveries? No. Oil? No. New water sources? No. Geography! Mexico is bounded on the north by California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas—all bone dry, or soon to be. } Governor Cantu never sees a hen.on the nest without suspecting that she’s going to lay an egg. He is already conscientiously considering several liquor concessions applied for by Amer- fcans, And all the neat little Mex border gover- nors, from Tia Juana to Tamaulipas, are in the same happy frame of mind about not selling parts of Mexico. Russia is suffering from a shortage of morale and morality. de oe The super-man will now give a,demonstration DISARMAMENT MEANS NOTHING; CHAIN THE MAD DOG OF SCIENCE’ * A startling warning comes from Reinach, the gteat French scientist. Acording to this French-, man, disarmament is no remedy for war; war} can be waged and won by a totally disarmed coun- try—not with heavy guns and submarines, buc} with poison. . 4 Does the great danger to mankind really lie in chemistry and biology? : * When Reinach speaks, the world’ can profitably listen with respect. He is one.of France’s great- est men. While first of all. an‘ archaeologist, he is also an all-around scientist. His books have been translated into all languages. Let us cast off our state of auto-hyphosis and consider what really is meant by disarmament. Had it been proposed a century ago, men would have understood it as the discarding of swords and flint-lock muskets. One after the other, man’s féghting implements have been rendered obsolete by| the appearance of new devices. i The invention of the bow and arrow nullified’ the offensive power.of the man with a war club. Archers were put out of business by the ap- pearance of armor, which in turn lost its value through the invention of gunpowder. What would naval disarmamdnt have meant in 1862? The prohibition of wooden fighting ships. No one dreamed of ironclads, but in the same year the Merrimac destroyed the union fleet in Hamp- ton Roads, and it was no longer nlecessary to dis- arm wooden fighting vessels—they had been eliminated by the arrival of steel ‘battleships. If invention through the long march of misty centuries has invariably changed the’ meaning of disarmament, is not Reinach corject? What is to prevent the chemists, biologists and electro- scientists rendering ineffectual the scrapping of our present fighting material: by devising poison gases, wireless thunderpolts and disease germs to devastate an enemy country -with. the. swiftness possible only to hidderi’ death? In the year 1347 Europe was invaded by the forces of Pestis Major. Within 24 menths 25,- 000,000 people had been killed. This invasion is known in history as the Black Plague. Pestis Major, the dread germ, was brought from Crimea to Genoa by a single man—Gabriel de Mussis, an Italian lawyer. Consider what the Spanish influenza infection, carried by a few sailors landing at Halifax and Boston, has cost the United States. Four hun- {dred thousand dead! Talk about.42-centimeter guns! : What. goog to discard submarines and heavy. artillery, if ‘scientists, a handful of them; ih’ their cynical conviction that was is the natural biologic state, can devilie death instruments like flu and; black plague?’ ; Lact ., We can take away: from Germany every weapon she now‘has} even hunting rifles,.and still she may. strike back through her chemists. How do we know what is going on inside the German laboratories?’ This very instant they may be discovering.-a, acientifie instrument of destruc- tion with, the! powéys. af: an earthquake or. tidal waves.) 90) OFF 00 ostos ‘ wig’ te Steinmetz ‘has suggestéd that future war could easily be fought with bacteria. But disease germs comprise only one possibil- ity. Why could not the scientists of any country develop the wireless so that thunderbolts could be hurled from great generators? Nikola Tesla four years ago took out patent 1,119,732 on the fundamentals of such a machine. A similar device has been utilized in the Dakotas for fighting the rabbit pest, killing a rabbit at 108 feet when near a great power plant. Suppose the men of:science: perfect this method of hurling death throughout the world at the rate of hundreds of miles per second. What good, then, would all this proposed dis- armament of submarines, artillery and poison gas avail mankind? A FLOOD OF BILLS MARKS LAST DAY OF INTRODUCTION More Measures Introduced Fri- day Than Any ‘Iwo Days Precéding That Date PLAN MEMORIAL BUILDING ei | Two Hundred Thousand Appro- priated in MeDonnell Draft as Yank Tribute a Friday was the ‘last. day for t introduction of bills in’ the hou without the consent of two thirds of the members. The prospective le‘ting down of the bars brought in a flood of bills; Most finportant among these were measures levying a half-mill general tax to create a fund of on@ million’per annum for aid to returned soldiers, who are to receive an al; lowance of $25 for each month spe in the service of America or any of its allies; establishing the office of state immigration commisisoner at & salary of $5,000 per annum and mak ing an appropriation of $200,000 for the use of such office during the erf suing bieninum; reducing the nui ber of judicial’ districts from twelvp| to six and increabing the number of. district judges: frbi.12 to 15; appro:| priating $200,000 for a Liberty mem- otial building at the state capitol; and providing for a state inspection of the slaughtering of food animals.

With the great laboratories open to interna- tional inspectors, with stern penalties for evil- doers before their plans are perfected, with huge and alluring rewards for information concerning scientific plots—in no other manner can disarma- ment be more than a pretense. * “White Russia joins soviets.

SATURDAY, |MILLION DOLLARS LEVIED for printing of formulas upon labels | FEB. AID FOR YANKS IS PLANNED IN NEW. CAUCUS MEASURE | Allowance of $25 Per Month to Be Made to Returned Sol- diers Under Bill oe Annual Tax of Half Mill Will Run Six Years to Care for 30,000 Fighters A general tax of one-half of one mill for the creation of a returned sol- diers’ tund is levied in a Dill intro- duced in the 16th assembly this af- ternoon after being approved by the league caucus. William Lemke championed the bill before the cau- cus last inght and it met with unani- mous endorsement. This fund will provide aid for any wen of this state honorably dis- {charged from the military or naval service of the United States or our. 4 8 m4 allies who makes application to the adjutant general. Upon approval of the claim by the adjutant general such soldier or sailor may receive from this fund $25 for each month or major fraction thereof which he spent in the service of America or an al- lied nation. The use to which this allowance is put is optional with the soldier, Men who have been in the service a: full year will receive $300 in monthly payments. ‘Many ‘North ‘Dakotans es- te i pecially members of the First and Sec- ond ‘North Dakota, will be eintitled to two years’ allowance, if they are not soon mustered out. This tax is expected’ to raise one million per annum to be apportioned t over varying periods among the 30,- 009 men whom North Dakota contrib- uted to the service of our country. Un- der the terms of the bill any citi- zen of North Dakota who served with ‘ ; the French, British, Italian, Canadian, Greek, Jap or other allied forces may also profit from this fund. The average length of service of North Dakotans is estimated at eight months. and to care for our own boys. alone, it will be necessary to spread 7 the proposed half-mill tax over a per- : ion of six years. The act snecifies y that the allowance fs to be used under the provisions of the state home é ‘ building association in acquiring a . home for the returned soldier or that the latter may “tevote his bonus to completing or supplementing his ed- ucation or vocational training. The fund is to be deposited in the Bank of North Dakota, and’ in its ad- ministration the adjutant.’ geveral will be under the, supervision ofthe industrial commission) The actds de- signed to ald in bridging’ over tha gap between demobilization aud re- construction. .
