League Victory ;
New Chapter in j
Modern History
International Support . of the Peace
Program Starts Talk of a United j
States of Europe. I
Paris, Oct. 30. Internationalism'
as opposed to extreme nationalism
and internationalism which will be
based in moments of war peril on
the surrender of 6tate sovereignty, ,
was given new strength today by(
the League of Nations. I
Completing the work of its special !
session by quickly adjusting the (
crisis between Greece and Bulgaria, j
the task for which it was convoked, j
the council of the league passing on
to greater issues, virtually wrote the ;
second chapter of a modern history
of which the Locarno security treat
ies with Germany constituted the
first chapter.
This second chapter is that hence
forth the League of Nations becomes
the machinery for the settlement of
all disputes and that war must cease,
beacuse, as Austen Chamberlain, the
British foreign secretary said, if it
does not, all nations will perish from
the earth.
Obeying the covenant of the
league, Greece and Bulgaria, by
agreeing to submit their quarrel to
the meditation of the council set a
precedent which Mr. Chamberlain
warned, must be followed by all. He
said that any menace of war any
where concerns all the members of
the league.
The international backing giv
en the league with two great pow
ers, France and Great Britain tak
ing the leadership, has created a
profound impression in Paris, and
has started anew tonight talk of the
formation of a United States in
Europe, the idea which Mr. Lloyd
George vainly tried to launch at the
Geneva conference. It also has con
vinced statesmen that
-, ,
Europe
power, economically, financially and
politically, working through the
league will become greater because
it will be concentrated instead of
divided by jealousies and rivalries.
Another feature of today's coun
cil meeting which is causing tre
npi'riono interest was the interven
tion of Viscount Ishii of Japan, who
oTnroso(i t h t victt- that Rprnrit V
pacts like those of Locarno will
multiply in other parts of the world.
There is considerable speculation to
night whether Japan would like to
ree elaborated a Pacific security
i nct which would include the United
States and would be broader in scope
than the Washington four power
agreement which replaced the Anglo
Japnnscs alliance.
It is recalled that, inter-continental
pacts were favored by the Latin
Anerican states during the last as
sembly of the league.
The death of the Geneva peace
protocol, it is pointed out, leaves
J;:pan with only that protection af
forded by the league covenant.
A commission of inquiry, headed
by Fir Horace Rumbold. now will
rroceed to the spot, investigating the
incidents leading up to the Greek
oi'-i-pation of Bulgarian territory
-nd report its findings to the Decem
ber meeting of the council.
The closing cf this week's session
- the thirty-sixth held by the coun
cil, was marked by a moving address
by Aristide Briand. the president,
who said the league's existence had
been fully justified by this settlement
alone. I
In reverent tones, which thrilled
his hearers, M. Briand dedicated the
session, just closed to the memory
of Woodrow Wilson, "who proposed
and realized the league of nations"
and of Leon Bourgeois, the French
statesman, who presided over the
peace conference commission, which
adopted the league covenant.

age and support the study of modern

SUPPORT THE RED CROSS
There is today, as never before,
an understanding of the part the
Red Cross is playing as the great
democratic agency of the people in
offering to suffering humanity a
merciful help in time of stress. Even
more important is the growing un
derstanding of the fact that the Red
Cross is enabled to nornnv this nosi-
tion in our national life solelv be-
of more than three million men and
