Broadly epeaking, in the view of Mr. Lansing and the president the doctrine of freedom of the sean deprives any nation at war of the most important ele! menta of nea power. Indeed, it destroys nearly all the of nea power, r, deprived of the right to blockade, to search merchant vessels’and t» |wettle questions of contraband a fr cannot function, ¢ we might |have been excused for ignorance concerning the value of sea power; typ |since our own Admiral Mahan taught us our lenwon, no An has any [right to remain in such ignorance.

But far greater than any other example of the value Of seq power is the history of the present war. Without the overwhelming strength of the British navy the struggle could not have lasted six months; perhaps not six weeks, But for the sea power of England the world at this moment would have been ruled by appalling that men should lightly talk of destroying the which has stood and atill stands between the world and slavery? It may well be argued that President Wilson could have no to destroy either the British or the American navy until the thes tor them ix gone. His second clause presuppores that a League of Nations exists and there will be no reason for any nation again to take upom iteeg the duty of going to war except as part of the league. This must be the president's meaning. Unfortunately innumerable men and women do not stop to think the matter out in that fashion. If the president i for the freedom of the seas, why not have it now? It is precisely there that the mistaken notions about the League of Nations show themselves. Jf, and when the league is firmly established, this freedom of navigation fn time of war may be permitted. But for America, of all nations, to beat down her own surest shield before the league exists would be not merely quix otic, not merely fooliah; it would be the rankest sort of hypocrisy. For anyone with a grain of sense must know that we ourselves, if we were compelled again to go to war, would not dream of observing this doctrine of freedom of the seas. We should do exactly as we are doing in thin war, We should blockade our enemy's ports, establish our own rules of contraband and exercise to the full the right of search. Unless we were prepared to do this, all the money spent on our navy would be wasted. If we could conceivably intend to enforce this doctrine tae advocated by Germany, we should at once break up every man. — pomsess. The real use of a navy in war is to destroy the enerny’s lines of communication, blockade bis ports, sweep his commerce from the seas, cut off supplies of all sorts and so compel him to surrender, The destrux ltion of his navy is only incidental to that main purpose, If we are going to promise that we shall not do these necessary things in war it is per fectly senseless to keep up an expensive fleet.—Metropolitan Magazine 4 ———— Senator Jim Reed of Missourl, a | The Attack on the | “emocrat who has been particularly | s | bitter against the president's meas League of Nations | ures ail thru the war, has elected to “ ~ —~m lead off in the grand senate of proposed League ‘of Nations.

And one of the purposes of the Constitution was to enable states which were such near neighbors to get along amicably and settle their differences without fighting. i We are nearer neighbors to Europe than folks living In New York were to folks living in Savannah, Ga., at the time of the civil war. And that war was fought because the North believed it essential tat const- tutional cohesion between just such states as Georgia and New York be, maintained ; Tt is welence, the Inevitable growth of man's power and knowledge, that has brought the far places close. Cables or no cables, one part of the world can talk to all parts by wireless today. England's “mystery ships” are already reported to be crossing the Atlantic in three days. It will not be long before giant aircraft are crossing in one day! Our trade interests extend already far beyond our own borders. With the commercial devel opment of recent war inventions, they will extend to every corner of the earth. All of this means that even the everyday problems and conditions ot our lives will be linked with the problems and conditions of the lives of every other grea, people. The grocery bill and the pay envelope will to what goes on in other countries just as surely as they have reactebia: the past to what went on in the next country. This is a condition to accept, not to quarrel with, It is a conditiee tht offers a new question—a question this age cannot dodge. 1 And the answer will be partly political, and partly industrial, but for the most part it will be just the plain, common-sense answer of the people of the world. To avoid friction and bloodshed and the terrible waste @ war, agreements are necessary. And these agreements have got to be binding. and constitutional, and enforceable by something more than any one nation, just as our federal government at Washington is more powerful than any one state. That is the League of Nations idea. It is the idea that the British Labor party has indorsed as a body, It is the idea that is finding favor rapidly among our own labor leaders, It is what a recent U. 8. goverm ment commission to France and Italy reported to be uppermost in the minds of the people—not politicians—of tho e countries. The people of Europe have sacrificed »eavily in this war, and Amer fea has given no small stint. The people of Europe are heartily tired et a system which enables a maudlin kaiser to start a battle in which ever his vanquishers come out with heavy losses. And no one can say that Americans Went into the struggle for the fun of the thing; they went into it to fight that very system Having knocked the props out from under the old order, something new must be established. And the League of Nations is a mighty serious possibility, At all events, it is futile to attack it on grounds that belong to @ past generation. 0 = " - —% What form of government will Who Will Control { Germany take, tat of a polities ; | republic lke our own or a soclah German Affairs? | ist soviet government lke that of ie RE ie —% Russia?
