That speech rapidly increased the amount of money collectable immediately. The salespeople of the Home Seekers Realty Cflmpnr.T were so-prised this week to learn of tbe wedding of .Miss Edith Van Arsdale to Edwin Whitson, both of that firm. The wedding took place two weeks ago today, but was onl* announced Thursday. Just think of the fun this would have caused If this ceremony had of taken place at Muncle. By the way Temp promises to provide the matrimony stuff at the next convention. and come to thick of it I can see some truth in his statement, ns the prospective bride is a resident of Chicago, and the next national convention Is to be held in that city in June.

EVANS WOOLLEN MAKES STRONG PLEA FOR PACT Banker Gives Careful Analysis of Covenant in Connersville Speech. OBJECTIONS NOT VALID Bpecial to The Time*. CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 30.—Evans Woollen, president of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company of Indianapolis, made a stirring appeal for the League of Nations in a speech here last night. He explained the league covenant In detail and then gave the reasons why he believed it should be adopted. Mr. Woollen said: What manner of thing is the covenant of the League of Nations? It is an agreement to promote international cooperation In an effort to achieve peace and security. The members of the league agree that each will keep its armament within limitations. self-imposed, on the recommendation of the league's council; that they will respect and preserve as .igainst external aggression the territorial integrity and political independence of each other; that each may bring to the league’s attention any threatening circumstance; thJt no member will resort to war against another member until throe months after the dlsputs has been arbitrated or inquired into by the league’s council; that any member resorting to war in disregard of its agreement shall be deemed to have committed an act of war against all the others: that all treaties shall be submitted to the league for publication, and that plans for a permanent court of international justice shall be formulated. WAR VICTORY DUE . TO COOPERATION. ' From this summary it will be seen that the League of Nations is an unJe. taking to apply permanently In our relations to the other nations of the world the great lesson of the war, namely, that victory is the result of cooper-tlon. Was that not the lesson of the Food Administration and of the other cooperating instrumentalities? Was it not also the lesson of the command united under Marshal Foeb? And as of victory In war, so of victory over war. It will be achieved nltlmateiy by co-oper-tion. by face-to-face conference, and the League of Nations is nn instrumentality for service in the direction of that ultimate victory over war. Such then in brief was the covenant of the League of Nat ons which the President brought from I'aris and submitted to the Senate. There this great plan for the amelioration of the suffering of the world was degraded by passion and hypocrisy. And the befuddling obpect;ons havh never ceased. Objection is nude that !t is unwise to engage as the members do in article 10. to respect and preserve r.s against ox ternil aggression the territorial Integrity of each other; that we cannot, with due r gard to the teachings of history, expect the boundaries by the Treaty of Versailles to continue Indefinitely. I’erhaps we cannot thus expect. But that Is not to say that boundaries can be changed only by force of arms. One of the functions of the League of Nations is to change boundaries peaceably. NEW CONDITIONS GREET WOULD. Meantime, boundaries had to be established and maintained. Four powerful governments in Europe, governmet ts wh'ch provided for tbe most part the law and order of their regions have fallen. The governments of Russia, of Austria, of Germany and of Turkev were despotl ■ but with the exception of that *>f Germany, they were the growth of centuries and for a vast stretch of years had provided the method of life for millions ot people. Many new weak nation* have risen in their places with untried governments n which untried theory has supplanted the smoothly running ways of established practice. Some of these new nations the T'ntted States, toge’hcr with tbe allies, assumed th responsibility of setting up in Eastern Europe. ' Surely we and the allies owe it to those nations to preserve their boundary lines as against external aggression, at least until they are on their fc-t. If we do not owe it to them we do owe it to the peace of the world. St'ch was the view of Mr. Taft. “The League of Nations." he said. “is essential to an effective treaty of peace to accomplish the purpos sos the war * * * Unless there be some means so authoritatively Interpreting the trenf.' and applying It, and unless the power of the league be behind It to give effeo to such Interpretation and nppllcatlo the treaty. Instead of producing pear will produce a state of confirmed war." Such also was the view of Ellhu Rod on article 10. He believed the article should be lint Red in time. In his recent speech he objected t the article as a guaranty “for all time.’ But as to the present, for five yearat least, he had no doubt. The boundary lines of reconstruction must be determined by the allies. Their determination must be enforced. They nay make mistakes Doubtless they will, but there must be decision, and decision must be enforced. UNITED STATES CANNOT QUIT. Under these conditions tbe United States cannot quit. it must go on to the performance of its duty and the immediate aspect of article 10 is an agreement to do that Let it be remembered, too, that artlcl. 10 is not an undertaking by the league’s members to participate generally in International quarrels. ft is an undertaking only against external aggression. As Mr. Taft said: “It organizes the powers of the world to maintain th* international commandment, thou shall not steal by force.’’ Another objection Is that the covenatit of the League of Nations Is such an entangling alliance as Washington in the farewell address warned us against. To the contrary, we answer, that the covenant, being an engagement with the nations of the world to promote peace differs essentially from the typical nil! ance, being an engagement with anothei nation to support its fortunes in war. We answer also that the world of Washington's day differs esseutlalh from the world of this day. The world In which we struggled to nationhood differs essentially from the world in which we have attained fun grown strength. The contacts between nations are In tensifled and multiplied a thousand tlmci. Isolation then was possible. Isolation now, as we found in 1917 is impossible. ’’Do you suppose,” asks • Justice Hughes, “that when we entered the great war w* proposed to remain isolated?” Kather than that we be tied to Washingtons words of a century ago we had better bo tied to his character and his purposes. He did not set himself against chsngc Ile has been rightly called “one of the greatest innovators in history, for th reason that be fixed his vision, not upon the past. hut on the facts of his day anil the problems of the future.” < eorge Washington was no standpatter. No, the covenant of the League of Na-

tions is not an entangling alliance any more than it was, as Senator Harding has charged, "conceived for world supergovernment.’’ To that charge we answer, as the President answered, that our sovereignty would be impaired by membership only as the sovereignty of every man is impaired who makes a choice to respect the rights of his neighbors. It would be impaired only, if indeed as much, ns by the acceptance of the international court that Senator Harding wants. We answer, also, in Mr. Taft’s words, that “No function or discretion is taken from any branch of the Government which it iiow performs or exercises.” The essential characteristic of government is that it orders and, if necessary, backs its orders with force. The league, as we have heretofore pointed out. has no power to order the course of the member nations. It has no power to tax or declare war or conscript or legislate by majority vote. , , It only advises and recommends and does that only by unanimity. The league, accordingly, is not a government, super or otherwise. It has been correctly characterized us an “instrument for confidence.’’ Senator Harding n talk about a supergovernment ts unfair as hla talk about a military alliance is unfair. CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION RAISED Another objection is that the provision tn the covenant against making war except under certain conditions is an impairment of the constitutional power of Congress to declare war when and as it deems fit. Indeed, Senator Harding and Chairman Hay* have been asserting recently that ihe league and the Constitution are Irreconcilable; that we must choose between the two. Rather than rely in that matter on the Judgment of an editor and a political chairman would It not be safer to rely on the Judgment of constitutional lawvers, such as former President Taft and his Attorney General. Mr. Wickershum? The former has pointed out that the Senate has already ratified twenty treaties, the so-called Bryan treaties, In which we have engaged not to make war until the lapse of a year. No contention tins been made, so far a* I am aware, that those treaties Impaired the constitutional power of Con?lAnd then there is the last resort of the objectors of the priests and the LevUes, of those who would find excuse for our betrayal of the league. Why, they ask has your league failed to slop the Russian-Polish war and the oth-r wars In Europe? There arc several answers. As to the Russian Polish war it may bo answered that one of the parties to the controversy, like Mexico and t.ie United Slates, was not a member of the league and accordingly the opportunity for usefulness was limited Besides. It ts not clntmed that tue league will end the menace of war. but that the menace of war will be lessened hr its ministrations. And then the most important nnwer Is that where the lca'-ue looked confidently for friendship and support, It has met <jesrtlon and Petra? al. For It Is as certain as anything conjectural can b“ that had tbe united States given quick gtieglence the whole world would have responded to the pull for the common good inaugurated by the league. OBJECTIONS NOT VALID. And thus we find the objections to the covenant of the League of Nations of no sucu validity as justifies us in declining to u.idcrtake promptly our pnrt in binding up the wounds of the world in planning and executing its rehabilitation; In promoting peace by an association of the nations an nssoclatlijn for the purpose of dissipating, througu k-> wled-e and ttre light of reason, the darkness and enmity which make for th barbarism of war We find good ground for the charge | that the Republican party In Its course
