When President Wilson shook hands the other day with Mrs. H. W. Somers, wife of General Somers of Civil war fame, he was the twentieth chief ex- ecutive of the United States to whom she had been introduced. Mrs. Somers made her debut at the White House on the arm of Daniel Webster when William Harrison was president.

Nine Out of One Hundred Cases. I wish to maintain the proposition | that a League of Nations is not only | desirdble* but an absolute necessity and for three reasons, any one of which would be sufficient to justify | that phrase. First, it is a necessity for winding | up the war. We must not forget that | this war has unse‘tled almost every- | and has created new nations on paper, such as Finland, Poland, Czecho-Slo- vakia, Jugo-Slavia, the Ulkraine ,and the Balkan States and some semi- independent bodies ke Armenia, the Caueas snd Palestine, These smal) states will be even more at the mercy of the great states than Belgium was, if we do not guarantee in some way their independence. Then there are the great problems of the landlocked countries, which must have an outlet to the sea, and of certain international areas, like the Bosphorus, which must be admints- tered by a league of nations. Then there are the German Colonies, which | need, for obvious reasons, to be ad ministered internationally. Finally, as Mr. Taft predicted, this peace treaty is as long as the moral law. It will require interpretation, nations. Secondly, we need it in order to avoid a recurrence of what has con- stituted a veritable curse even in times of peace, ments. competitive arma- | | International cut-throat competition in armies and navies leaves the na- tions in the end in substantially the game relative positions as in the be- ginning. defense, keep up in this race. To Eu- rope this will mean economic ruin; to us, high taxes. There are business men who are fighting shy of the idea of a league of nations with the thought that ft is Yet we must each in self- | going to unsettle trade internationally | —afraid, perhaps, that the tariff will be disturbed in some way. But any possible gain that could be had by_ maintaining the status quo would be cancelled many times over by the loss from the taxes—enormeusly high— which would be required to keep up our end in this international compe- tition in armaments. Our own coun- try, in spite of its wealth, would be reduced a long way toward poverty. | This world would be scarcely fit to live in. . We have reached the parting of the ways as to our policy on armaments. Either we must compete with the rest | of the world, or combine with the rest of the world. Tue third and most important rea- son for a league is to preveht the re- currence of a world war. A league should eliminate war in vut of 100 cases, because it af- fords another way than war to settle A collective police force takes the piace of na- tional military forces. The national pride which so often leads to war will be transferred to keeping treaties. No longer will a nation need to go to war to “save its face” rather than re- for the award of the third party will pre- serve its self-respect. Furthermore, whatever disarmament will tend to diminish the danger of war and reduce its scale if it comes. Many peoplé are indifferent to or scornful of the idea of a league of nations chiefly because they lack the imagination to realize the horrible alternative. In order ,then ,to wind up this war, to prevent oppressive taxes in times of peace, and to prevent future wars, we need a League of Nations, But besides these three reasons, which are purely selfish, there is a reason which outweighs them all. Ir- 99 takes place | respective of our interests, irrespec- | tive of the fortunes of any man or party, we are in honor bound to do this thing. Our boys went abroad, to make the world “safe for democracy,” and to do it forever. We owe it to them that their labors shall not have | been in vain, erecting monuments to them—memo- rial arches, and bridges, and build- ings. Let us first erect a monument which will not only commemorate but perpetuate their work, the monument of a League of Nations. IRVING FISHER, Professor Ya Dept. Political Economy.
