FORREST E8TES
For This Issue
Proposition 1. I favor the ratification of the League and
Treaty without amendments or reservations.
Proposition 2. 1 an. opposed to the ratification of the
League and the Treaty in aiiy form.
Proposition 3. I am in favor of the ratification of the
Treaty and the Leaguo, but only with the specific reserva
tions as voted by the majority of the Senate.
Proposition 4. 1 favor any compromise undir reservations
which will make possible the immediate ratification of the
Treaty and the League.
Proposition 6. I favor the Government proceeding to
make peace with Germany at once and leaving the question
of a League of Nations to be settled afterwards.
Proposition 6. I favor a compromise of the reservations
of such a character as will avoid the danger of defeating
ratification while still making clear that America can only
be involved in war by a declaration of Congress, that do
mestic questions and the Monroe Doctrine are entirely out
side of the jurisdiction of the League, that plural votes o'
any member are all disqualified in the event of a dispute where
in we are disqualified from voting, and that on deciding to
withdraw we are to be the judge of whether our obligations
have been met.
The propositions concerning the treaty of peace with Germany and
the league of nations on which students will be asked to give their opin
ions next week are here printed. In common with colleges all over
the country, the University of Nebraska will register student feeling
in regard to this subject by means of an election open to all stud
ents and faculty. This will undoubtedly be the largest concensus of
undergraduate opinion ever made.
This action should not be regarded as a partisan movement of
any sort. The plan was originally conceived by the intercollegiate
association of New York City for the purpose of stimulating discus
sion among the academic circles and for obtaining as accurate as
possible expression of college sentiment. The committee in charge
Is composed of the editors of the Harvard, Columbia, Yale and Prince
ton publications, who possess different views on the matter. An
other evidence of its freedom from politics is the fact that the project
is backed by Presidents Hadley of Yale, Butler of Columbia, Lowell
of Harvard, and Hlbben of Princeton. '
On a matter of such vital importance to the nation, the average
college student has no doubt formed an opinion. Those who have not
should seize this opportunity to inform themselves. Talking with
people who have made a study of it, and searching of their own minds
after u period of concentration will prove of immense benefit to
them. They cannot then fail to have an opinion which is intelligent,
and which must then be worth recording by ballot. The plan contem
plates a 100 per cent ballot in all of the colleges of the United States.
It Is to be hoped that all Nebraska students will cast their vote so
that it will not appear that Nebraska undergraduates fail to take an
interest in national issues.
SUSPICIOUS NATURES
A suspicious habit of mind is usually the attributes of a weak
character. The man who is strong, well-balanced and well-equipped
for life does not often concern himself with suspicions of the motives
or designs of other persons. His won methods are direct, his pur
poses are clear; he relies on his ability to defeat hostile attacks
should they come, but he does not lie awake at night imagining that
hostile attacks are being prepared. Because of his unsuspecting
habit of mind, he is sometimes temporarily at a disadvantage. On
the other hand, the suspicious man Is sure to be making enemies
for himself, while the unsuspicious man is making friends.
What must be forever the classic example of the suspicious attl
le of mind and its consequences has been afforded by Germany.
The German people appear sincerely to have suspected that France
and England and Russia were hatching a plot to compass their down
fall They were the more ready to suspect it because they were
themselves, through their leaders, intriguing to circumvent France
and England and Russia. The suspicious person always has a tend
ency to do things that he suspects others of doing.
What the world needs more than anything else today Is confi
dence. It needs the confidence of the individual man in his own
powers, but even more it needs his confidence In the decency, the
sincerity, the honesty of his neighbor. Suspicion is today the chief
foe to civilization. Ohio Lantern.
