PAGE 2 Should We Join the League of Nations? Yes, Says Hitchcock; No, Asserts Senator McCormick BY THE HON. ‘MEDILL McCORMICK (Continued from Page One) without conference with senators is conarary to constitutional practice in the United States and in conflict with what he himself wrote before he was under the influence of the vast pow- ers which the people surrendered to him for the prosecution of the war. “The initiative in foreign affairs, which the president possesses with- out any restriction whatever, is vir- tually the power to control them absolutely. The president cannot conclude a treaty with a foreign power without the consent of tne senate, but he may guide every step of diplomacy, and to guide diplomacy is to determine what treaties must tbe made, if the faith and prestige of the government are to be main- tained. He need disclose no step of negotiation until it is complete and when in any critical matter it is complete the government is virtually committed. Whatever its disinclina- tion, the senate may feel itself com- mitted also. “But there is another course which the president may follow, and which one or two presidents of unusual po- litical sagacity have followed, with the satisfactory results that were to have ‘been expected. He may himself be less stiff and offish, may himself act in the true spirit of the constitu- tion and establish intimate relations of confidence with the senate on his own initiative, not carrying his plans to completion and then laying them in final form before the senate to be accepted or rejected but keeping him- self in confidential communication with the leaders of the senate while his plans are in course, when their advice will be of service to him and his information of the greatest serv- ice to them, in order that there may ‘be veritable counse] and a real ac- commodation of views, instead of a final challenge and contest. The pol- icy which has made rivals of the president and senate has shown itself in the president as often as in the senate, and if the constitu- tion did intend that the senate should in such matters be an executive coun- cil, it is not only the privilege of the president to treat it as such, it is also his ‘best policy and his plain duty.” So wrote Woodrow Wilson. Senators, like the president, are elected by the people of the United States. they are upon oath; they have a duty to discharge, and if their conscience and their judgment tell them that the treaty promises war, and the covenant, unqualified and unamended, would drag America into that war even against her will they would be recreant to their sworn duty if they did not qualify or amend the covenant before they rat- ify it. Should We Join the League of Nations? Yes, Says Hitchcock; No, Asserts Senator McCormick BY THE HON. GILBERT M. -HITCH- cock. (Continued From Page One.) @ small or backward country were given as much direction in it as a great and advanced nation. Never- theless, each member, small weak, as well as large and powerful, must have a voice and a vote. To meet ‘this difficulty a very in- genious and effective plan was agreed to providing that the league shall have two organs or bodies through which it operates. One is the assembly. Every member of the league is a member of the assembly and has one vote. The other organ or body is the council, in which only nine nations can be members. Five of these members are permanent and cannot be changed, :namely the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. The other four member nations are chosen by the members of the assembly from time! to time. In some respects the assembly is’ like the stockholders in a corpora- tion, while the council of nine is like the board of directors. Like the stockholders, the ‘assembly only meets on rare occasions, say once a year, while the council of nine will meet frequently and decide and con- duct most of the affairs of the league. The stockholders, however, vote ac- cording to the stock they own, but in the assembly each member only and| ¥ has one vote. Again there is this difference—the stockholders — in «a corporation, elect all of the directors while the assemly only has power to elect four of the nine members of the council while the five great na- tions that fought and won this war are permanennt ‘members, They are, of course, also members of the as- sembly. All nations that maintain law and order and keep their international agreements are eligible to member- ship and are invited to join. Ger- many may join as soon as she has made it plain that she will carry out in good faith the treaty of peace and perform her obligations. The purpose of the league is to bring about a co-operation of nations in maintaining peace and establish- ing international law and justice. To that end each member agrees that if it has a dispute with any -other member which diplomacy has not been able to adjust it will submit the dispute to arbitration by a court or to an inquiry by the council if the question is one which can properly be determined ‘by the league. Certain questions can not properly be passed on by the league, These questions are excepted and should next be con- sidered. Will the league covenant permit foreigners to interfere in our domes- tic affairs? Might it compel us to admit undesirable immigrants? Sena- tor McCormick says yes. Senator Hitchcock says no, Read their views in the next issue of The Daily Tribune. MAY HOLD ELECTION FOR PARK BOARD IN WEEK OR TEN DAYS The calling of an election for com- missioners for the Bismarck park board, created a month ago by city ordinance, will probably be taken up at the next meeting of the city com- missioners Monday night, according to Mayor Lucas today. In speaking of the matter Mayor Lucas said that it had to be decided before Septem- ber 1 and that the election probably | would take place within the next few wrecks if the commissioners favored It has been pointed out that the park board must be named by a gen- eral city election and that the time is very short in which to provide sufficient funds for this board to ade- quately accomplish any elaborate || program, such as many of the citi- zens of Bismarck believe is. repuired. || The city tax assessor has practi- || cally completed his work and as the || city’s ‘budget for 1920 must be sub- || mitted before the beginning of Octo- A Coated Tongue? | What it Means A bad. breath, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, languor and debility, are usually signs that |i -the liver’ is out of order.

Paid Off---At Last There is a sigh of relief from all con- cerned when the obligation on the‘home is paid in full. Naturally enough there must be a safe place to keep a paper which means so much. Wise people collect their valuable pa- pers and priceless keep-sakes, put the mortgage with them—and take the col- lection down to this bank. For a very small sum they rent a safe deposit box where their-papers are pro- tected and secure.

CITY COMMISSIONERS WILL DISCUSS TAXES Equalization. of taxes will probably occupy most of the time of the city commissioners forthe next few weeks, This matter will be brought up, probably, at the next meeting of the commissioners ‘Monday - night. Tax Assesor Morris has practically completed the work of assessing the property of the city and his repori will be submitted at the commission- ers’ meeting Monday night. Because of the laws recently passed by the state legislature being in prac- tically all instances entirely different from previously existing laws on the subject, Mr. Morris’ work this year has been doubly difficult. He believes that the assessments placed on city property conform with the law in every instance and there will be no complaints from taxpayers about their assessments, & MANY FARM LABORERS HERE FROM MONTANA More than 10,000 people will leave Eastern Montana for North Dakotu within the next. few weeks looking for work, according to George N. Gustafsen, county agricultural agent, who returned Jagt..night from Dickin- son, where he attended a meetiing of agents from southwestern and cen- tral counties of, the state. This matter was brought up by the agents because of the farm labor shortage existing in several sections of this state and it is believed that if the labor influx from Montana can be properly distributed among the farms in western and central North Dakota, there will be no shortage or labor this season. The county agents are co-operating with the farmers in securing farm and harvest hands and as the federal employment bureau at Bismarck, which has ‘been handling all of this work in the past, will undoudtedly be terminated next week, the distribu- tion of farm labor will become aj serious problem for the county agents.
