A LEAGUE OF PEACE. : ~ (Indianapolis News.) ‘There is a persistent contention in some quarters that the league of nations is a guarantor of war rather than an insurer of peace. Let us iry to see how it would work. It has been. saild, and seems probabic, that if the league of nations had been In- existence Gérmany would not have dared to go to war. Dut we may go further back thaa that. The (rouble out of which the horror grew began as may be re membered—though many seem §> bave forgotten it—with a quarrel between Serbia and Austria-Hyngary Sir Edward Grey, as he then was, labored assiduously to bring about arbitratfori, and the question when finally sifted down was one peculiarly fit to be arbitrated. What would have happenefl o there had been a league? The process would have been simple enough. Serbia” would have laid her case before it, expressed her willingness to arbitrate and bound herself to accept the award. The league would then have asked - AustriaHungary to come into court and if she had refused, she would have subjected herself to all the penalties laid down in the legaue covenant, and the whole world would have been arrayed against her. Facing this situation, even the German government would have refused to back up AustriaHungary, much less incite her to war There would have been arbitration of thé originat dispute. And as a result not ome “American boy” would have been sent abroad to fight. Without the league 2,000,000 of our boys were sent, and many thousands of them who sleep In foreign graves, because there was no_league of nations wotxl4l today be alive. =~ : :

- The league is designed to prevent Just such Morrors as those through which our ‘men were forced to go. The question is, not whether a few American troops mdy not at some time have to be sent abroad, as they have many times been when thre was no league but whether we shall.try to make it unnecessary to conscript miilions of the youth of the land, train them to be soldiers, send them into foreign lands by the million to face hardship, danger, disease and death, as we were forced to do three years ago, when there was-no -league of nations. Such is thc issue, and it, is onme concerning which people should think soberly, honestly and with great seriousness, quite apart from partisan politics. The

league is a great protective charpiness of the fathers and mothers of trying to make it appear that it iy something eise. All that is necessary to confound them is for the people to trace what the probable course of bistory would have been If the league of nations had beed in existence in duly, 1914. Had It been there would not, in all probability, have been one American household disrupted by war-for there would have been no war. What we are asked (o enter is, Already it has brought Seweden and Finland together in comsent to a peaceful adjustment of a controyersy which, in the old days, would ecertalnls have fssued in war. Such i« the league which men are now trying to discredit’” by the fallacious aml ment—and argument more faliacious than ever sinee the new international court has been set up-—that s would mean sending “our boys' ‘abroad to flight and die. The world was bathed in blood and tears because there was no league of nations. . - The League of Natlons, To the Editor of the Banner: =~ Sir—QOur faith ta a_ Christian triumph for the league of nations has been greatly stréngthened. o The league of nations is the em: bodiment of no less than what can ir truth be termed the Christian constitution for the whole world.

It is the fruftfal product of what we desired and purposed in beéing forced ‘into. the most crimminal war ever perpetrated on the world. The league of nations, clean In its principles, Christian in its purpose, patriotic in the conflict that secured by the blood of our noble boys its possibility, should not be lost to us by the biatant cry of a set of politicians who have proved by their actions for the last twenty-five years that they would drive our nations 19 ruin if on the w"recaagq and debris they could get into power. = " The ciimaxing proof -of this is found .at last in their opposition to the league, in which they strive to wreck the greatest opportunity for humanity or Christian gain ever offered or earned at it has been, by the blood of the world and our own noble gallant, . patriotic, life-sacrific-ing -boys. G In the truth of Christianity and patriotism a vote against the league is un-Christian and traitorous. Oh God of nations, be with us yet! Lest we forget! Lest we forget! ~And the Christian people of our beloved country will not foregt. i - ~ P. B. Shinn. Cass county, Indiana. e - League Bilocks War, ;

~An Associated Press dispatch from Paris, France says: : “Dramatically clasping hands today before councillors of the league of nations, Ignace -Paderewski and A Valdemar accepted the league's findings in the Polish-Lithtanian dispute in which war was threatened. - “Both Paderewski - and Valdemar said up to two weeks ago they believed the dispute between the two countries could have been setteld only vy . e . "Acceptance of the findings marked the league’'s first success in blocking threatening war. " “The league council held an open session today in the. Luxembourg palace. It was to discuss its power to act in anotehr territorial dispute between northern European countries—the Aal and islands differences between Sweden and Finland.”

And this is the League of Nations Semmtor -Harding claims has ceased to function and the republicans would scrap. S _ 1% WAWAKA WAVELETS. (By Mrs. 0. W.
