BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1919 LOWELL TAKES STAND FOR A NATION LEAGUE President of Harvard University Insists America Must Share Obligations OPPOSITION IS EXPECTED No Great Forward Step of This Kind Ever Taken Without Incurring Hostility Boston, Mass., March 20.—Replying to the attack of Senator Lodge on the Proposed covenant of the league of nations, A. Lawrence Lowell. presi- dent of Harvard university in Syim- phony hall last night said in part: “Few, if any, Americans hold the doctrine, propounded by certain German writers, that war is in itself good, Kew do not desire peace a- mong men; and it would probably be safe to go further and say that the vast majority of our people wel- come the idea of a League of Nations to prevent war, even if it involves some inconvenience for us. There is naturally, however, much differ- ence of opinion about the ‘form such a league should take; and any con- crete plan that could be presented, would not accord entirely with most men’s preconceived ideas, if taey have any; of, if they have riot, would involve difficulties that they had not forseen as inevitable; with the re- sult that criticism breaks forth in abundance.’ This has been, and must always be, true of every step in human progress. Every advance goes through the stages of general aspiration, of concrete plan, and of every step in numan progre Every advance goes through the stages of; general aspiration, of concrete plan, and of sharp criticism, before it be- comes established. The process is normal, healthy and instructive. The Essentials “Before examining the nature ot | the plan proposed in the Covenant of Paris it may be well to consider the minimum essentials of an ef- fective League of Nations to prevent war. Everyone will agree that such a league must forbid a resort to arms before submitting the question in dis- pute to a public trial, arbitration or inquiry of some kind; and probably it ought also to forbid a resort to arms after an award which is uni- versally believed tobe right and just. Such a delay before hostilities will not prevent all. wars, but it will make them much less common, and it wil] wholly “prevent a nation from deliberately plahning a war, as Ger- many did, and seeking the advantage of surprise when its yictims are un- prepared. It 4s generally assumed that, if Germany bed not possessed that advantage, she would not have gone to war. Obviously, the sub- mission to arbitration must be com- pulsory, for if not, the condition {s nowise different from what it has been hitherto; and the compulsion, —the sanction, as the lawyers say,— the punishment for the offender, must be such that no nation would venture to inour it; for the more severe, the more certain, the more immediate the penalty, the less the chance that any bellicose natfon would run the risk. The country that goes to war before submitting its case to arbi- tration must be ragarded as a crimi- nal against mankind, and treated in- stantly as an outlaw and a common enemy by the rest of the world, or by those nations which bind themselves together for the maintenance of order For this reason the League to En- force Peace has always insisted that thepenalty should not be decreed by a council of the League which would involve delay, possibly disagreement and inaction, but automatically: that is, the members of the League should bind themselves: jointly and severally to resist the aggressor at once. In this way the members would stand together, and an attack on one and if the League contained, as we expect, by far the greater part of the world, no nation would, for a moment, contemplate war with such a coalition, and therefore wars would not occur before arbitration. “The priyciple should apfy not only to disputes among the members of the League, but also to dissentions between ther nations not belonging to the League, because war, like fire, has a tendency to spread, and no one in a community has a right to start a conflagration. which his neig3- bors have not a right to put out. Council for Consultation. “although the penalty against the agressor is automatic in the sense that it does not depend upon the action of an international council, nevertheless such a council for pur- poses, not of command, but of con- sultation, is highly beneficial. It tends to remove friction by enabling nations to understand one another's point of view, and to reconcile or adjust differences before they reach an acuté stage. Most plans for a League of Nations have, I believe, proposed two bodies: one large and comprehensive, for the discussion of general problems, with. an opportun- ity for the presentation of all pos- sible opinions, but too large for con- fidential interchange of ideas; the other smaller, representing mainly those countries on whom the burden in case of breach of tne peace. would chiefly rest, a body small enough to work out in detail recommendations to be submited to the members of ‘the League for acceptance, modifi- cation or rejection. — “It will, I think, be generally agreed by all persons who desire a League of Nations that these points are the essential minimum ‘of any Yeague that can be effective in pre venting war. ‘Let us now examine how far the Covenant of Paris covers these points and what. else. it covers.

GREAT FALLS “FRIEND GIVES CLUB A BOOST Feels That Bismarck Should Do Something for Soldiers and Sailors Writing from Great Falls, Mont., on the stationery of the Soldiers and Sailors’ club of Cascade county, a Bis- marck subscriber endorses the pro-| posal made several days ago that the capital city provide club facilities for its returned fighting men. In part he; says: | “Gentlemen: In your issue of March) 15, I was very much interested in the} article regarding the need for a club; for young men, especially returned sol- diers and sailors. I lived in Bismarck for a number of years, leaving there last June, and I believe 1 know the situation. “The Soldiers and Sailors’ club in this city:‘meets this need’ very success- fully, and I feel if you could put some- one in touch with the !ocal secretary of this organization they would be very glad to assist and ady in any way possible to help make h an organi- zation a suce in Bismarck. The club here is financially indebted to the | local Red Cross for its initial funds to start the work. It operates an em-| ployment department for S, & S. men| only, at no charge whatever to the men. The secretary of this depart- ment is a returned soldier. All trains ; are met by two soldiers, and returning } men are encouraged to register with! the club. “The club is run by responsible re- turned soldiers and is a success. They | provide sleeping quarters free of charge for men out of work or passing } through the city on the way back to their homes. The club rooms are open all day and until late at night, and pool tables, a phonograph, reading rooms, etc., provide a welcome place for the men to find the ‘barracks com-| radeship’ ‘which was the best part of army life. Occasionally feeds are put on to get the boys better acquainted. ‘wo dances have been held. “T merely outline this as a sugges- tion. It seems to mec that the’Co. A armory could be made a very good all- around headquarters and club room for such an organization. The local organization here hag now affiliated itself with the ‘World |War Veterans of Montana ociation,’ which is a state organization. I am not an offi- cer of this club, I am merely a me ber, and I certainly enjoy the privi- leges offered to all the boys. It is such a success and the boys here are so enthusiastic about it that when I read your article I couldn’t help but sit down and pass the good word along. “I write you only in the hopes that it may get into good hands and the boys coming back to Bismarck may possibly have the opportunity of en- joying such a club as we have in Great Falls, After the initial funds are se- cured, the organization can be self- supporting, the same as any lodge. This is a real ‘welcome’ for the boys. “—Subscriber.” Movement Started There already has been inaugurated a movement which may result in per- manent club facilities for all the young men of ‘Bismarck, and the young women as well.
