As a union man would study a contract with an employer, as a citizen ought to know the fare fixed in a street railway franchine, as a widow ought to understand |the mortgage on her home, or a }husband and father his last will }and testament—so ought every American understand this contract with the league of nations. You |eannot do that by reading It once You must put certain separated |] | sections together, and compare and consider them, remembering that | the counct! of the league in Geneva, | Switzerland, is going to Interpret the constitution of the league, very much as the supreme court inter- prets the constitution of the Unit- yi/e@ States, That council of the 1 | league will be legisiature, court nd executive combined. {| FOREIGNERS COULD INTERFERE WITH US I way that the covenant would j Permit foreign nations to interfere | J || with our domestic affairs and force , the last of our summer dresses—all stock—and they are in plain white, in very pretty embroidered moon wear.

IV) “ANY THREAT of war * © ix | declared a matter of concern to the | | whole league and the league shall |]| take ANY ACTION that may be |] deemed wise and effectual to safe- | guard the peace of nations.” (Art |x) | “It im also declared to be the fundamental right of each of the league to bring to the attention of | the assembly or of the councll ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHATEVER af- | fecting international relations which threatens to disturb either the the GOOD UNDER- 3 BETWEEN NATIONS peace depends” (Art. “If the dispute between the parties t*# clairned by one of them, AND 18 FOUND BY THE COUN- CIL, to arise out which by International law fs solely that party, the counct! shall so re- port and shall make no recommen- dation as to its settlement.” (Art. XV) The Japanese have insisted on their right to emigrate wherever they may care to go. This month one of the great European allies declared her intention to guard “the right of her subjects to emi- grate.” Suppose one of them |charges that the exclusion of im- migrants by America is a “matter affecting the peace of the world.” under Artivie IV. It is within the | power of the council, under Article XV, to declare that it is NOT “solely within the domestic Juris- diction” of America, and then to decide that we must admit immi- grants whom we Go not want, If we refuse, we shall be liable to boycott or to coercion by arms. It Is fruitless to say this contingency may not arise. ROOSEVELT WAS FOR IMMIGRATION CONTROL Less than a week before he died, Theodore Roosevelt told me that under any league of nations we must clearly reserve our abso- lute control of immigration, and that we must save the Monroe doc- trine untrammeled by foreign inter- ference! You will recall that some six years ago we were required to re- peal the Panama tolls act, as a re- ward to England for tnterceding with the Japanese in our behalf. Suppose then that we favored American ships at Panama and one of the powers charged that under Article XI. our action threatened “good understanding.” The council could decide, first, under that same Article XL, that our Panama policy and management did threaten “good understanding” and then, fjunder Article XV., that our Pana- ma policy was not solely within the domestic jurisdiction of Ameri- ca, They could then proceed to in- terfere in our management of the Panama canal and regulate it to sult the league. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.—"T looked so much better in a captain's uniform and then, too, it would help me get a job which would pay more That is the explanation today of Harrison Allen, a young chemist of Rerkeley, who wag recently dis charged from the chemical warfare branch of the U.S. A., and who was arrested by federal authorities on a charge of illegally wearing the army insignia and uniform of an officer MATTER * * AFFECTING | of & ‘matter, o——— | GILBERT M. HITCHCOCK | United States Senator From Ne braska, and a Leader of the ight | for the League of Nations in the | Senate. | The league of nations covenant] between the nations whieh join the] league conaists »|largely of a ner fon of promises One te just as much bound as the other, Never- theless, those who attack the league often try to make out that it binds or harasses the | United States tn & pecullar way. For — instances, thene eritics point lto the provisions yr | by which all mom-| ber nations agree! AITCHCOCH to submit to arbitration or inquiry by the council disputes which may arise between them instead of go- ing to war over them, That ap- plies to every nation—to others as well aa the United States, The critics, however, hold up their hands in holy horror and declare |that this means that Japan could work up @ dispute with the United [States over the question of tmmt-| jeration and demand that we sub-| jmit it to arbitration or to an in-| aquiry and recommendation by the} councit and that the result might be that Japan would secure a de-| ciation compelling us to admit Jap-| anoee immigration. | IMMIGRATION A PURELY DOMESTIC QUESTION The charge is preposterous a: ridiculous, Immigration ts mestic or national question each nation has the exclusive right to decide for iteelf. We are no more interested in preserving t right than Great Britain, Canada, | Australia, France and other coun- | tries, The council of nine nations} which has authority to carry on an Inquiry and make @ recommenda-| tion of settlement in the cane of! [disputes would, If compelied to pass on such a dispute, unanimoun- ly decide against Japan. No na-/ tion In the council would be willing | }to establish the rule that its own | domestic or tnternal affatra can be lcontrotied by other nations, This! |is particularly true of Great Brit-| alin in the ease of immigration, be- | cause Canada and Australia have} [stronger exclusion laws than we} | have. Thus even if Japan should re- open the tmmigration question and/ ask the league by its council to! finquire into the dispute so as to |report a recommendation that we/ admit her citizens, the request! would be refused because’ the na- | tons composing the council, with | the exception of Japan herself, are! just as much opposed as we are to} | having internal or domestic affairs controlled by the league. Even if |Japan had enough support in the! council to secure a majority, ft} | would make no difference, becaune| } within the domestic jurisdiction of |to make sych an Inquiry and ree- jommendation the council must be} unanimout This Japanese Immigration scare-| crow, however, was used #0 per-| nintently to alarm the timid that} an amendment was finally Inserted jim the league constitution reading| as follows: “If the dispute between the parties is claimed by one of them and is found by the coun- cf] to arise out of a matter which by international law is solely within the domestic jurisdiction ot that party, the council shall #0 report and shall make no rec- ommendation as to its settle ment.” This amendment was only neces sary in order to disarm criticiem and allay unjustified fears. It certainly settles the matter not only as to tm- migration, but also as to taxation, tariff, marriage and divorce and any other domestic or national question. | WOULDN'T BE BOUND TO ADMIT THE JAPANESE | It ix also ridiculous to aswume that | even without this amendment the! council of the league could have re-| quired us to admit Japanese or any | other immigration against our judg- ment. Even if the impoasible should | happen and the council of the league should by a unanimous vote report in favor of our admitting Japanese im migration, we would not be bound to do #0, and Japan would not have any means to secure it more than she has now mbers of the league do not agree arry into effect reports or recommendations by the counell even when unanimously made. All they agree to do is “not to go to war with the nation comp): ®& with the recommendation.” In such case, therefore, impossible and preposterous aa it is, we would simply be bound not to go to war| with Japan. We would not be bound either to admit the immigration or to change the law. The matter would jbe just exactly where it is now. | However, in order to silence criticiam and controversy, the amendment ex- cluding domestic questions from the consideration of the league is set down in black and white, [TENANTS LIABLE | FOR RENT DAMAGE! | WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 1.—Tenants jare held liable for the damage and) |destruction of houses they rent, ac cording to Judge Jesse Wall of the |municipal court.
