Had such a plan been followed in August, 1914, there is a probability that the present European struggle might have been ( forestalled. A year or so spent court proceedings would tend consid- erably to cool heads of feverish heat. President Taft, in addressing the as- semblage today, has pointed out that the plans of the league will not in any way infringe upon the constitutional right of the President of the United States and of the Congress to declare war. He has handled all the legal as- pects of this side of the plan, against which many arguments have been ad- in vanced, one in particular by William Jennings Bryan, who is not entirely in sympathy with the proposed methods of the league. It must be remembered that if the United States were to en- ter with other nations into such a pact, a league to enforce peace, and some one nation attempted to start war and it became necessary to use | the combined military forces of the other nations to head off this offender, Congress would have to declare an act of war in order to call our troops or send our navy to the scene of action. And therein lies one of the greatest difficulties in the path of the legaue’s success. Since the League to Enforce Peace was established last year, many things have occurred within these United States to show that it would be difficult for this country to enter one way or another into any agree- ment with the various countries, for the simple reason that our citizens here are made up of people from all ends of the earth, and as soon as any action was contemplated there would be a howl sent up from some quarter. All these questions, however, come un- der the head of ‘“entangling alliances” and will be treated soon in an ad- dress by Talcott Williams, head of the Columbia School of Journalism, an ex- position of the case which should in- deed prove very interesting, ‘Williams is one of the best posted men in the nation. ceedings of the assemblage at Wash- ington will be well worth following, for President Wilson, when his turn comes to speak, is very likely to utter words that may ring around the world and sound the first keynote of peace for the Whether the League to Enforce Peace is to live or die, depends in large measure upon the manner it is accepted or rejected by the citizens of America. as Dr. In fact, the entire pro- belligerents. ECHO. Colonel FROM DETROIT. Roosevelt is fighter. Henry Ford is a peace-at-any-price man; and so it' was to be expected that when the gallant Rough Rider rode pell mell into Detroit, the place where they turn out myriad millions of tin omnibuses, and ‘“threw the hooks” into the timid manufacturer, there would be no ‘‘come-back” on the part of the of . Rut the Colonel reckoned without his host. Mr. Ford can be called that, for the Colonel announced his inten- tion to pay a call on Henry. This after the gentleman from Oyster Bay had paid his respects to the pacifist and all things smacking of pacificism in general. It will be recalled that Henry Ford and his followers, the peace-at-any-price men were held up and denounced the heirs of those and Civil a Prince Pacifis to scorn as gpiritual and moral who in the) Revolution war denounced Washington This was less than a week delivering and Lincoln. ago. The Colonel after his tirade did not visit the home of Mr. Ford. After waiting some time, and failing to see the Colonel the Detroit philanthropist “went fishing.” But before following the bent of Izaak Walton, the peace advocate called together, or met, some of his iriends and neighbors, himself as follows: “Ordinarily, one considers an little different from the citizen. Roosevelt's case it is different.
