Thursday, September 4th, 1919 THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERAU) i THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IJy "Scott If I were to describe the League of Nations in a few words, I would call it the "international equivalent of the policeman's club". Just as truly as we need a policeman's club, and Just as truly as we need a policeman at all to enforce the local laws, Just o much do we need a policeman who will enforce international laws. And this policeman needs a club, some thing with which to enforce these laws. La; better club could there be than the tovti.ani of the League cf Nations? Did you ever see a treaty cr great literary work of any kind that was absolutely flawless? How many times do we hear criticism of the Declaration of Independence; and Ten the Constitution of the United States is to those who wish It for months of bloody warfare In which millions of men lost their lives. "VhaMfweare""'to" maintain a small army In Europe, or any other part of the world, for fifteen years! The same troops will not be there all ! that time; and If these men enlist of their own free will for a period of two or three years for foreign serv ice and the extra pay, they will be Just as satisfied as though they were at home. How about men who have many times re-enllsted for service in the rhllipplnes, twice as far from the United States as France or Ger many! As a rule, the man who selects the army as a profession Is entirely satisfied with It. It is the man who enlists for a period of emergency who does not care to fol low the army for life. The Rhautung clause In the peace treaty has ben made to look like a mountain, whereas it Is nothing more than a mole hill. This provi sion Is a matter of Individual opin ion and Is open for discussion. Nat urally, Tresldent Wilson's political enemies have taken the side opposing political reasons to be so, a weak him and are making political taiK article, the hobby and Pet tneme oi oui or someming or no more maier- tbose who drew it up.

Schools also take un valuable land If the League of Nations is worm and make taxes hither, but who the rarer on which it is written, it is wants to live in a citv without worthy of at least an unDiasea con- Bchools! "How far is it to school?' federation and study by those who know little or nothing about it. It is not claimed that the League would sake a paradise of this old earth, but it is claimed that wars to a great extent would be eliminated. And I believe this is true.. For in a way, all nations would be combined to force each Individual nation to do the square thing by all those with which it comes in contact. This is the real "compelling moral obliga tion"; and where is there a single tation that would care to bump up against the League of Nations? It would think a good many times be fore attempting anything rash. And were this nation to bring up its trou bles before this Ic-cgue, how could it teceive anything but Justice before such an inpart'al Jury? However, should a nation be foolish enough to try to "start some thing", the combined armies of the is the first question a farmer asks when buying a farm in a new local ity Up until the time I left the Army of Occupation in June, I had run across but very few men who were opposed to the League of Nations, and they could give no logical reason for their opposition other than that they were opposed to Wilson. The reason that the men in the armies of the occupied territory In Germany are so nearly unanimous in their support and praise of the League of Nations is that they have had enough of war and are in favor of something that will prevent, as far as possible, their having to go through the same experiences again. For this one rea Bon more than any other they are anxious that the League of Nations be given a trial. Of course, it will hurt munitions manufacturers and war profiteres, but they are a small STOCKMEN BLAME THE RETAILERS TOR PRICES Prominent Nebn.k Mvckmen Tcf title! on Friday Before the In vestigating Commit U. WASHINGTON Interjecting Borne sharp advice and warning to city dwellers as to meat prices, western stock men Friday laid before the senate agricultural committee furth er protests against the Kenyon-Ken-drick bills to regulate the packing industry. "1 am going home and tell my neighbors that we'll have to curtail production to the point where con sumers will eat the whole beef car cass," said George T. Donaldson, president of the Kansas State Live Stock association. With J. H. Mer cer, Seattle commissioners of that state, and others, he said he had been Investigating the distribution of meats in all the larger cities. "Right nl your city of Washing ton," he told the committee, "I have found the fore-quarters of beef sell lng to the retailers for eight cents a pound and selling to the consumer at 32 cents. We learn there are 700 places here where meat is sold and we think that 100 would be ample and reduce the cost to consumers too." Mr. oDnaldson opposed the regula tory measures and Senator Kenyon, Republican of Iowa, asked him if he had read the federal trade commis sion report on hte subject. "I have," replied Donaldson, "and I regret to say I haven t as high a regard for the federal trade commis sion as an American citizen of my age ought to have.' Mr. -Vrcer. tho opposing the bills, said packers ought to relinquish ownership of stockyards in favor of producers. W. B. Tagg. Omaha, Neb., live stock broker, gave the committee several suggestions alternative to nrovisoins of the bill. He said a commission to regulate the Industry and administer licenses would be preferable to a single official. J. H Bachelor, another Nebraska Btock- man, attacked the entire proposal, as did most of the witnesses heard, and said that the high price agitation was due largely to "people who want six hours' work and sixteen hours' pay." "Most of the testimony taken dur ing the last week from producers has been highly favorable to pacaers, world very quickly teach them a les-1 ercnU(te of'the popu'latlon of the each Bimilar up-rising the lesson tacght would be more deeply im pressed upon such other nations as miay have had like tendencies. They would soon learn that it is better to settle your differences in "court" than to use force outside. It is said that the League of Na tions will prevent another war such as the one we have Just witnessed. This is undoubtedly true, for had there been such a League, this war would never have begun. Had Ger many known that England and the United States were to enter the war, there would have been no war. How ever, had therj b.'ir a League of Na tions, wild shorli Germany have at tempted to fight the whole world, the United States and other nations who tered the war after it had progres sed upwards of two years, would have been in it from the start and there could have been no fifty-two world.

Neb., "and we are hear-1 ing a good deal about the possibility ' that the puckers might have induced you all to come. Did anybody pay your expenses or do anything else to get you to come down here for them?" "1 am not In favor of the pack ers," Mr. Meyers retorted. "I'm speaking In my own Interest. Cripple the packers business, license it and add to Its cost of operation and you hit me, oerause the ciofn cost will have to come out of the producer." A. E. Stryker, secretary of the Omaha Livestock change, said that he met "hundreds of shippers every week and never heard one word in favor of any scheme of broadening governmental control over Industry. He estimated that Independent pack era bought 750,000 hogs out of S, 060,000 shipped to the yard last yur. Real Leisure. Leisure Is time for doing something useful.
