II. S. SUPPORT IS REQUIRED FORSUSCESS OF SOCIETY

Rejection of World League by American Will Weaken Influence of Country Abroad, Says Simonds. MISSION AT CRISIS (Copyright 119. by The McCIure Newspaper Syndicate) ' t By FRANK H. SIMONDS . I ahis, Feb. 28. At the moment When President Wilson is beginning , nis explanation in America of the league ot nations, there is a single question which ought to be clearly answered for the American public. What ls.lt that Europe expects ot America as a consequence of the formation of me league 01 nations? , The answer to this question must, I think, be found first in the view which obtains both among the French and the English as to what this covenant of the league of nations which Mr. Wilson has taken back to America actually is. Result of Wilson Effort In substance the English and French views are that the covenant of the league of nations is a substantial recognition by Europe, by the allies, and primarily by England and France, of the Ideas and principles which Mr. Wilson came to Europe to advocate. Much ot the actual text and machinery of the present league of nations covenant Is the result of European contribution, but there would have been little or nothing of any league of notions' covenant if Mr. Wilson had not come to Europe and made his consistent and persistent effort France and England in effect have joined with President Wilson In a draft of the program of the league of nations, which is still a mere sketch, with the understanding clear and un mistakable that if they and their Eu ropean associates agree to a new orSanitation ct International relations at the 'demand of America, expressed by Mr. Wilson, America will be prepared on her side to join with Eu ropean nations in physical defense of such an association, and in the ficH

UNJWsUiPWua the burden of this TCv new social order. And in substance

Mr. Wilson has obtained his league of nations covenant in ,its present form simply, as an evidence of good faith on tho part of both France and England,' who thus signified their readlness to accept the new ideas and the new principles, but very clearly expected that Mr. Wilson would bring bis countrymen to accept the new responsibilities and new ... duties that Sow from this league of nations program. Now, to put It specifically, what does England expect America to do as a result of the league of nations? First of all, beyond any question. England expects the United States to accept one or more mandatories, to undertake responsibility for some such people as the Armenians, and to contribute all the necessary resources in men, material and protection to bring about the organization of this new Armenian state. In other words, England expects the United States to break with Its traditional policy ot M 1 A f A . M

pvj jBuiauon, ana enter worm an airs as 1 a partner In the organization and in n the defannA nf varionn raroa which

cannot stand alone. Armenia in Asia and Liberia in Africa have been two most mentioned mandatories. How England Will Feel. . I am satisfied that there will be a feeling in England that the whole British policy with respect to the league of nations has been a failure if the United States shall now, the league of nations having been drawn, fail to take up the responsibilities which, to tha' Enffliah mi nil urn Inherent in

U' America's advocacy of ' the league of

nations Itself. There will be a feeling "that America has been unwilling to . make good her brave words by diffi cult, but necessary labors. What do the French expect? Substantially this, that the United States will organize and maintain an army available for immediate transportation, to France, to protect France In co-operation with the British and the French armies, provided the Germans shall refuse to accept the principles of the league of nattons, and presently return to their old methods of militant Imperialism, at this time expressed by republican rather than Hohensollern's armies. The whole view of Europe is too simple, and yet too clear to be misunderstood. Mr. Wilson came to Enrope representing himself to be the spokesman of America, to . demand that Europe should accept American Ideas of a new international association in which moral rather than physical force should prevail and the settlement of the last war should be ' had. not on a basis of taking extreme military precautions against the enemy, biit on the basis of making a just peace, eliminating causes for future disturbances. - Europe, at the end of the most considerable war in human history, was in a realistic mood. Left to Itself, It would have drawn a treaty of peace based on the Idea that it was necessary to take every physical precaution against the enemy. Europe would have made a peace based on the preservation of the alliance between the nations that had fought Germany, based on the Idea ot preserving this - alliance by mutual recognition of the

ri jCxtreme claims of each of the allies. r In other words, nothing seems more V certain than that if Amerlea at the

peace conference had , pursued her traditional policy of not Intermixing in European affairs, Europe would hare made another kind of peace. (Continued en Page Twelve)

CHANGES MADE IN "DRY" BILL GIVEN SENATE Amendments ; Required Before Wright Measure is Reported Out of Committee. (By Aasoclatad Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 28 Four quarts ot intoxicating liquor and 12 quarts of beer for private use is permitted in the Wright bill amending the prohibition law. as the senate committee on public morals reported the measure today. As the bill now stands it would not change the law materially except to prohibit the sale of whiskey by drug stores.1' The change in committee was made on the insistence of senator Metzger, of Logansport, to prevent a divided report which would have killed the bill under a senate rule. Senator Beardsley's bill doubling the tax on passenger automobiles and tripling it on trucks, failed to pass, the rote being 24 to 20. Beardsley says he will call it up again soon. The measure was amended to make the minimum license fee on trucks $10. The Joint resolution for amending the constitution to permit official supreme court decision on pending legislation was reconsidered and received senate approval. ' By a vote of 40 to 1, the senate passed the bill authorizing instruction in physical culture in schools in cities of more than 6,000 population. Provide for 8oldiers. r ; ' Favorable committee reports were made on the bill admitting soldiers and sailors of the world . war to Indiana educational institutions free of charge and the Kessler bill authorizing county school superintendents to give . returned soldiers who were teaching before entering the,senrice "success gradee," ilafcUag tlysnt to continue ' teaching af the .- point at

which they discontinued, v '. The house bill repealing the two cent fare law was advanced to third reading. Senate bills advanced to engrossment Include: by Strode and Van Auken, appropriating $38,000 for creation of an employment service to cooperate with the federal agencies; by McConaha, appropriating $190,000 initially and $75,000 annually for the establishment and 'maintenance of a psychopathic department in the Robert W. Long hospital. The joint resolution eliminating that section of the constitution providing for the establishment of justice of peace courts, was also passed to engrossment as was the proposed constitutional amendment providing for legislative appointment on the basis of votes cast for the secretary of state. ' Propose Soldiers' Bonus . Comparatively little of importance was accomplished at the morning session of the house of the legislature today. One bill was introduced providing soldiers, sailors and marines to receive honorable discharges, be paid $60 each from the state treasury. Five measures were passed and now go to the senate for Its consideration. The remainder of the time was spent in considering bills on second reading. Representative Swain, of Pendleton, who is to Introduce the specific appropriation measure, did not offer It today and house leaders had no intimation when it would be presented. Mr. Swain said it would provide for expenditure of approximately $2,800, 000 during the next two fiscal years. The Symons measure, providing for appropriation of $2,000 from the state treasury to be expended in purchase of the birth place of the late Wilbur Wright, the aviator, in Liberty township, Henry county, and for the appointment of a commission of three persons by the governor to determine on the nature of the memorial to be erected was passed by a vote of 91 to 1. Representative Lowe, of Crawfordsville, cast the negative vote. . Dalley Measure Passed. The Dailey measure which failed of passage for want of a constitutional majority yesterday was passed by a vote of 60 to 36 today. It would create the office of county engineer In the counties with population ' exceeding 48,000. The Abrams measure providing for appointment by the governor of a commission of five persons, who would serve without salary, to investigate the compensation paid to persons confined in penal institutions and to report to the next session of the legislature, and the Shilling bill, providing for parts of dredge ditches being cleaned upon petition of ten' per cent of the land owners affected, to the township trustees were others which were passed. The Bidaman measure would authorize the adjutant general of the state to pay each soldier, sailor and marine, who Is honorably discharged from the service $60 in partial recognition of his services and to reimburse him in part for financial losses sustained. The bill would specifically exempt from such payment conscientious objectors, holders of dishonorable discharges or of discharges without honor. r .- GREEKS ARE TORTURED CBy Associated Freest SALONIKI, Feb. 28.

"We have not postponed, the length of the quarantine on the college because of any new outbreak he said, but ' because we felt that those students who had been 111 would not be able to return to their recitations before the middle of next week, in most cases, and that it would be unfair to begin too soon. All the cases of influenza are rapidly recovering. We have had no new case for three days, and. those which were thought most serious are now greatly improved. In regard to any other disease we have had no other contagous disease for two weeks. Two weeks ago we had two students recovering from diphtheria, and one from mumps. All three were kept perfectly Isolated, and the disease , was not spread in any way to other members of the college. That, however. Is ancient history as those students are now recovered," he said.

LEAGUE PLAN WILL BENEFIT EUROPE MOST n aim i nnnr

OHVd LUUbt v Strife and Misunderstanding Instead of Safeguarding Peace, He Declares. ! . V nnnTRifii- in nAf ncn ma, in uftitwbir (Br Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, solemnly warned the American people today to carefully weigh the constitution of the league of nations as presented to the peace conference at Paris and to insist upon Its fundamental revision." Rnaalrtn. Im . l . - . , . ., can floor leader declared his conviction that instead of safeguarding the peace of the world, the league as now planned, would engender misunderstandings and strife. Delivering his first public utterance on the subject since the constitution became public, the Massachusetts senator vigorously opposed the plan and made specific recommendations for amendment. He declared that as now drafted, the , constitution would contravene the Monroe doctrine, strike at American sovereignty. Involve America in all foreign disputes, substitute internationalism for nationalism and be of benefit principally to Europe. Expressing complete sympathy with the popular demand and efforts toward an agreement .for world peace, Senator Lodge said he was not prepared to say that there could not be a concert of the nations to safeguard against wax, but he Insisted that the agreement for such a concert should be drawn up calmly and deliberately when the world was at peace and not hastily when war still existed. uermany Keacnmg out fMuch -time- has'heen wasted," he said.. "The delays have bred restless ness and confusion everywhere. Germany is lifting her head again. The whimpering after defeat is changing to threats. : She is seeking to annex nine millions of Germans in German Austria. She is reaching out in Russia and reviving her financial and commercial penetration everywhere. Germany is again threatening and the uw; duuivo ox a sreai war is to vo found -for the future as for the past in Germany. She should be chained and fettered now and this menace to world peace removed. "Unless some better constitution for a league than this can be drawn, it seems to me that the world's peace will be much better, much more surely promoted, by allowing the United States to go on under the Monroe doctrine, responsible for the peace of this hemisphere, without any danger of collision with Europe as to questions among the . various American states, and if a league is desired, it might be made up by the European nations whose Interests are chiefly concerned, and with which the United States could cooperate fully and at any time, whenever cooperation is needed. "It must also be remembered that If the United States enters any league of nations it does so for the benefit of the world at large and not for its own benefit. If we join a league it must be with the view of maintaining peace in Europe where all of the greatest wars have originated. Our share in any league must be wholly for the benefit of others." ' Danger of Quarrel. Declaring that the tentative constitution is open to amendment and to change, being merely a committee report, Senator Lodge said it shoOW be widely considered and discussed to give the peace conference complete opinions. "As it stands," he said, "there is serious danger that the very nations which sign the constitution will quarrel about the meaning of the various articles before twelve months have passed. "It seems to have been very hastily composed and the result is crudenese. "Before we ratify, the terms and the language must be as exact and as precise, as free from any possibility of conflicting interpretations as It Is possible to make them. The explanation, or interpretation of any af these doubtful passages is not sufficient if made by one man, whether that man be the president of the United States, a senator or anybody else." In detailed criticism of the present constitutional form. Senator Lodge said: : "We abandon entirely the policy laid down by Washington in his farewell address and the Monroe doctrine. It is worse than Idle, it is not honest to evade or deny this fact. In the twinkling of an eye, while passion and emotion reign, the Washington policy is to be entirely laid aside and we are to enter on a permanent and indissoluble alliance. Monroe Doctrine Abandoned. "Under the terms of this league draft, the Monroe doctrine disappears. I have seen it said that the Monroe doctrine Is preserved under article ten; that we do not abandon the Monroe doctrine, we merely extend It to all the world. How anyone can say this passes my comprehension. - Under this draft American questions, and European question and Asian and African questions are all alike put within the control and jurisdiction of the league." : Criticising the territorial guarantee provision, Senator Lodge said that the United 8tates would Join in the obligation to maintain all national boundaries everywhere which, he said, was "a very grave, a very perilous promise to make. "It would require," he (Continued en Page Twelve)
