Solon Announces That He Is Against Plan Until Electors ; by Their Vote Prove They Are | in Favor of Scheme—Ques- { tions Monroe Doctrine’s Pro- tection. By HARRY B. HUNT so far proposed to the league of na- tions constitution meet the objections to the document held by Senator W: liam E. Borah of Idaho. Borah dis- sents from the whole league program as contanied in the covenant submitted by President Wilson and declares he will maintain unaltering opposition to nation-wide referendum directly upon to enter a league of this sort. < over the objection that the covenant is not sufficiently specific with regard to whether the Monroe Doctrine is pre- served, or whether our right to control immigration for ourselves is jeopard- ed, or whether mandatories are com- pulsory or voluntary. What he ob- jects to is the proposition that the | United States shall LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS NEW AUTOCRACY, DECLARES SEN. BORAH—SAYS PEOPLE NOT INTERESTED IN PROPOSED UNION Washington, D.

So far as the people »f the Cuitec States can know there is no Fossible excuse for their being there | since the signing of the armistice. Yet lit is impossible to get them home, to find cut when they are coming. or what object is to te achieved by their staying. “They are fighting and dying of wounds and diseases, but when in- | quiry is made there is only mysterious | reference to ‘an understanding’ with | other powers. “Now in this league of nations, ac- | cording to Article 10, we are to yvar- j antee the territorial integrity and po- litical independence of every nation member of the league. And as it is} intended that all’ nations ultimately shall join, so we agree without any conditions or exceptions to furnisi the financial and man power to pre-! it unless it is made unmistakable by 4| serve the territorial integrity and pe- litical independence of all nations. { “Our boys may be called upon at any time to go to Russia or Asia or the | i Borah is not particularly concerned | Balkans or any other part of the earth’s surface. They may be called upon to do something similar to that which they are doing in Russia, and the people at large will likely know just as little about the why and where- fore as they are permitted to know about their boys in Russia now. “I say this for the reason that this e committed to!constitution expressly provides that an entire new policy, which will in-|the executive council of the league volve it in the most far-reaching man- | shall determine the means and meth- | ner in world problems and interna- | ods of carrying out this guarantee to tional politics, without this policy ever | protect the territorial integrity of all having been presented to the voters of | the nation for their sanction or disap- | proval. PEOPLE DON'T CONTROL ‘ REPRESENTATIVES’ ACTS From this as’a basis his objection goes to the fact that the people have no direct voice in the selection of this country’s representatives in the pro- posed league, nor any form of check or control over their acts, “An uncontrolled autocracy,” he nations. * “And who is the executive council? It is composed of one representative from each of five nations, later to be increased to nine. When the question arises as to what we shall do or what amount of money or men we shall fur- nish to carry out this guarantee, the council is to determine that, and we must abide by that determination or break both the moral and the con- tractual obligation of the league. Although cabinet officials voiced his view of the problem “What we have to consider us to join a league of nations, drawn into this war. I believe in favor of the first course.” esils the. proposed executive council, Whieh° he: says could commit the na- tion to.any international program and i the ‘only thing the people could do y would be to “pay the taxes and fight the battles.” One outstanding weakness, he main- tains, is that the league utterly fails to"previde for carrying out the’ prin- diplevof'self-determination of peoples, ‘instead binds the nations entering the league to go to war if need be to! thaintain the present territorial boun- daries and political institutions of the nations members of the league. “The presence of our troops in Russia,” says Borah, “is a pretty fair object lesson with which to begin the study of the league of nations. LEAGUE, OR LEAGUES? THAT'S THE CHOICE, SAYS SECRETARY BAKER league of nations discussion, Secretary of War Baker today “The question we must decide simply is whether it is to be a league of nations, or leagues of nations, “It is bound to be one or the other. pose of promoting peace, and providing a method and machin- ery by which peaceful settlements of disputes between nations may be reached, or. whether we prefer to permit the world to revert to rival leagues of nations and take our chances of again being drawn into their wars in the future as we were have to date kept out of the as follows: is whether it will be better for organized for the specific pur- the people are overwhelmingly “In other words, in determining. the methods and means of carry- ing out this guarantee, the Unit- ed States will have one vote and Europe and Asia four, or as the case may be, eight. k “Assuming that we are going to live up in good faith to the contract into which it is proposed we enter, the peo- ple at large will be expected to abide by whatever the executive council de- termines, SO WE MAY HAVS <A RUSSIAN SITUATION AT ANY EXECUTIVE CO!

It is utterly absent from the league constitution. In, fact, there is nowhere in this league a rec- ognition of the right of those to speak who pay the taxes and fight the bat- tles in case war comes. And in view of the fact that we guarantee the ter- ritory and political independence of all nations, we can be assured war will come. “One of the basic and fundamental objections, therefore, to this league, is that its whole machinery is placed utterly and absolutely beyond the {check or control of the people. It is a league of officials and diplomats, not a league of the people, not even a league of nations. “One of the most significant things just now are the difficulties the Amer- an delegation are supposed to be having over getting a recognition of the Monroe trine. “Mr. Taft stated when the league as first submitted that the Monroe trine was not only preserved but: strengthened. He further stated that nobody desired to question the Monroe Doctrine, in Europe or elsewhere, “It seems now that they hesitate very much to recognize it, and it is not yet certain that they will consent to do so. This is rather conclusively as to the fact that Europe did not think the Monroe Doctrine red not desire that it shall be preserved or strengthened. “In fact, so far as any amendments yet proposed are concluded, they do not change in substance the league at all. This league covenant, as it now exists, was written almost entirely by General Smuts, the South \ at large. It is supremely the peoples’ i concern, and it ought never be adopt- | nd bear its burdens.

But progress is made of the extensions — new applications — of proved principles. We.all want home to be a place of comfort — a cozy retreat from extremes of weather. To get this we are perfectly willing to take a lesson from a freight car. Think for a minute about a trip of one of these refrigerator cars, thousands of which cross the country the winter long, laden with tropical fruits from Florida and California and bring them to the coldest climates in perfect condition. Take - an extreme case to illustrate the point: In the coldest days of that terrible winter a year ago,.a car of oranges was loaded in California‘for Winnipeg. Canada: The temperature in California was 70°. The fruit was loaded—the doors sealed—and the car was on the way for its two weeks trip. The greater part of journey was through below-zero weather with an occasional blizzard. The last days through Canada the temperature ranged as low as 25° below zero. And when the car was opened in Winnipeg not an orange was frosted. This perishable friit weathered the journey because the car was insulated with Flaxlinum. For years Flaxlinum has been used’in the best household refrigerators and. refrigerator ‘cars. So you.can see, that its efficiency as an insulation material has been thoroughly demon; strated. In recent years the-use of Flaxlirium as an insulating material for homes has spread:tapidly. In almost every com- munity in this section there afé houses equipped with it. ; Over. and_over. people..tell usithat from the standpoint sof comfort.and economy. they could nat afford: to.be without 3t, Saves One-Third of Your Fuel Bill Flaxlinum bripgs comfort to the home because it prevents the heat and cold in the outer air-from going through the walls and roof of the house. And in keeping out the cold in winter it saves from 30% to 40% of the fuel bill. In summer a home insulated with Flaxlinum is from 10° to 15° cooler than one that is not. Nothing that enters the construction of a house pays a bigger return on the investment. : Tests have shown repeatedly that a layer of Flaxlinum one-half tach thick, the thickness in which it is ordinarily used, is equiv- It’s Cheaper to Build a Warm House Than to Heat a Cold On ' ‘Ss: NORTHERN INSULATING COMPANY, St.Paul, Minn. | | track tei tion.
