nations of the earth to admit frankly
that war is a crime and thus with
draw the legal and moral sanction
too long permitted to it as a method
of settling international disputes.
Thousands nf plans show a deep
aspiration to have the United States
take the lead in a common agreement
to brand war in very truth an ‘out
law."
“The plans show' a realization that
no adequate defense against this
situation has thus far been devised,
and that no international law has
been developed to control it. They
point out that security of life rand
property is dependent upon the aboli
tion of war ami the cessation of the
manufacture of munitions of war.
Nations Must Reform.
“Some of the plans labor with the
problem of changing the hearts of
men and disposing them toward peace
and good will; some labor to find a
practicable means of dealing with the
economic causes of war; some labor
with adjusting racial animosities,
with producing a finer conception of
nationalism, etc.
“Through the plans as a w hole run
these dominant currents:
“1. That, if war is honestly to be '
^^P*pre\ ented, there must be a right
about-face on the part of (lie na
tions in their attitude toward it.
“2. That by some progressive
agreement the manufacture and
purchase of the munitions of war
must be limited or stopped.
“3. That while no jHditical
mechanism alone will insure co- j
operation among the nations, I here
must be some machinery of co- j
alteration if the will to co-operate
is to lie made effective.
“1. That mutual counsel among
the nations is the real hope for
bringing about the, disavowal of
war by the open avowal of its real
causes and open discussion of them.
“3. That there must be some
means of defining, recording, in- ;
terpreting and developing the law |
of nations.”
Favors League of Nations.
In the statement supporting the
peace proposal, the author of the ac
cepted plan argues at considerable
length in support of the league of na
tions. The chief points in the argu
ments are as follows:
I. Five sixths of all nations. In
cluding about four fifths of mankind,
are already members of the league.
" Those nations cannot and will
not abandon the league, which has
now been ad - ely operating for three
and a half years.
a. Intimations that, such was the
case were given by "oilier powers 1 at
i he Washington conference for the
limitation of naval armament.
4. Sheer force of social inter
! ionil gravitation makes tho cooper
ation of the Fnited States Inevitable.
... The Fnited States has already
k< ii pa
r:es of the league, "unofficially” as
will as in the work of the hydro
graphic bureau and with the agricul
tural committee of tlie league labor
organization.
C. President Harding and Serre
tarv Hughes have urged joining the
world court (since the plan was writ
ten. President Coolidge has repeated
this recommendation).
Would Fxrliange Two Articles.
7. American women serve as ex
pert assessors upon the opium and
affic in women commissions of the
league.
v The practical experience of the
league during its first three and a
half years of life has not only
wrought out, In a group of prece
dents, the beginnings of what might
he called the constitutional law of
the league, but it lias also shifted
the emphasis in activities of the
league and foreshadowed Important
modifications In its constitution, the
covenant.
!». At its birth the covenant of
the league bore, vaguely In Article
X and mote clearly In Article XVI,
the impression of a general agree
ment to enforce and coerce. Poth of
those articles suggest the action of
a world-state which never existed and
does not now exist. How far the
present league is actually removed
from functioning as such a state Is
sufficiently exhibited in its dealings
with Lithuania and Poland over Vii
na and the.r common boundary, and
with Greece at<d litaly over Corfu.
W i: ipei.. i • • > •• thre<
ears has demonstrated pi • tbly in
superable difficulties in the way of
fulfilling In all parts of the world
the largo promise of Article X In re
spect to either its letter or Us spirit.
II. No one now expects the league
council to try to summon armies and
fleets, since it utterly failed to ob
tain even an International police force
for the Vilna district.
12. Each assembly of the league
Pas witnessed vigorous efforts to In
terpret and modify Article X.
12. Articles X and XVI, in tueii
original forms, have therefore been
practically condemned by the princi
pal organs of the league and are to
day reduced to something like in
nocuous desuetude.
14. Another significant develop
ment In the constitutional practice of
lie league is the unwillingness of the
league council to intervene in any

II. COOPERATE WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WITHOUT

That without becoming a member of the league of nations as at

The United States government should extend its present co-opera

III. PROPOSE PARTICIPATION' IN THE WORK OK ITS ASSEM
BI Y \NI> COI N< II. UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDI
TIONS 1M) KESER\ VITONS:
Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine.
1 The United States aeeepts the league of nations as an instrument
of mutual counsel, but it will assume no obligation to interfere with
political questions "f policy or internal administration of any for
eign state.
In uniting its efforts with those of other states for the preserva
tion of peace tend the promotion of tlie common welfare, the United
States insists upon the safeguarding of the Monroe doctrine and
does not abandon its traditional attitude concerning American in
dependence of the old world and does not consent to submit its long
established policy concerning questions regarded by it as purely
American to the recommendation or derision of other powers.
No Military or Economic Force
The only kind of compulsion which nations can freely encage to
apply to each other in tlie name of peace is that which arises from
conference, from moral Judgment, from full publicity, and from
the power of public opinion.
The United States will assume no obligations under Article X
In Its present form, or under Article XVI In Us present form in the
covenant, or In its amended form as now proposed, unless in any
particular case congress has authorized such action.
The United States proposes that Articles X and XVI be either
dropped altogether or so amended and changed as to eliminate any
suggestion of a general agreement to use coercion for obtaining con
formity to the pledges of the covenant.
No Obligations Under Versailles Treaty
3. The United Stales will accept no responsibilities under the treaty
of Versailles unless In any particular case congress has authorized
such action.
League Open (o All Nations.
4. The United States government proposes that Article I of the cove
nant lie construed and applied, or, if necessary redrafted, so that ad
mission to the league''shall be assured to any self governing state
that wishes to join and that receives the favorable vote of two
thirds of the assembly.
Development of International l aw.
5. As a condition of its participation In the work and#'mmsels of the
league, the United States asks that the assembly and council con
sent—or obtain authority—to begin collaboration for the revision
and development of international law. employing for this purpose
the aid of a commission of jurists. This commission would be di
rected t« ar.ew existing rules of the law of nations, to
reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto Inadequately
provided for but vital to the maintenance of international Justice,
and in general to define the soefal rights and duties of the states.
The recommendations of the commission would he presented from
time to time, in proper form for consideration, to the assembly as
to a recommending if not a law making body.
American controversy, even though
all states In the new world except
three are member of the league.
Obviously the league intends to
recognize the leadership of the
United States In the new world pre
cisely as the United States claims it.
This Is nothing less than the Sbserv
ance of an unwritten law limiting the
power and duties of the league coun
cil, defined In Article XI of the
covenant, to questions that seem to
threaten the peace of the old world.
lf> Isolation of any kind Is Increas
ingly impossible, and world organi
zation, already centralized, is no more
likely to return to disconnected of
fort than the l nited States is likely
to revert to the Calhoun theory of
states rights anti secession.

“Men are free agents. They can
make plans for their own conduct.
They can build for themselves little
worlds, social, commercial, even ma
terial, in a limited way," said Kev.
James K. Wagner in his sermon Sun
day morning at First Methodist Kpis
copal church. Hut where human
[dans differ from God's plans and
alms, and hamper them, it is sin, he
declared, “Nothing is sin except as
it damages God's plans, (end's work,’’
he continued. “What hurts one's self
Is pin; what hurts others is sin. That
is, what damages them, and tends to
make them something elso than what
God planned, is sin. Gorl hates sin
because it spoils His work. His plans,
even his children. And yet 'F00I3
make a mock at sin!’ Sin is the
transgression of the law. That Is,
sin !s human habit, human manners
where they differ from God’s habits
and manners. Ye are laborers to

no matter what he is doing,. If it

people perfected and finished In the
pattern He has for them.
“No sane and thoughtful man will
laugh at sin. Sin Is God's world being
torn down; God's children being muti
lited and ruined; God's harmonies
filled with discords; God's beautiful
world being made hugely ugly and !
hsrsb.
“There can he no other way to
ueace than to adopt God's plans, and
to will to help Him work them out to
perfection. Hegiri in yourself. Help
others. Work to make His world
fruitful and helpful for ills people.
“All sickness and death: nil pain
I and disease: all sorrow and remorse
are the progeny of sin. What is this
sinister tiling called sin?
“This is God's world. Whether by
evolutionary forces or otherwise, Tie
made it. The forces at work on tlie
world to maintain it are simply divine
energy. Gravity Is God's way of
shaping and maintaining the physical
universe. Gravity is God at work. It
is not God: it is divine energy work
ing in material nature. IJght, heat,
chemical affinities and reactions are
also God at work. Material nature
is a product of the divine will, and
the forces of material nature are
His will at work.
"There are mental forces at work,
spiritual forces at work, shaping hu
man society. These forces are also
God at work, except as they are
other free wills than His own at
work.
"So far as we know them every
force of material or spiritual nature
works by law. That Is, they work
regularly; you can tell what they will
do, how they will operate. If they
are God at work, then It will be prop
er to call them God’s habits. Or
God's manners. The Bible says God
ran be depended upon not to change.
That suggests that the laws of na

Connt\ Manager Plan Is Finding
Favor \mong Citizens of Iowa
V
Hope Gains for Passage of Hergnuin Hill (>ning Supervisors
Power to Plaee Official in Direct Charge of Offices
—Peonorny Seen in Measure.
B> V^CM'lnlnl Pr«»*.
Des Moines, la, Jan 0—The
county manager proposal, under
which the affairs of counties would
be centralized in an official appointed
by the hoard of supervisors, Is gain
ing support and probably will be pass
ed by the legislature without great
difficulty when it again comes before
that body, according to Senator A.
II. Bergman of Jasper county,
Senator Bergman introduced a hill
in the closing days of the 4Bth gen
eral assembly authorizing counties to
adopt the county manager plan, but
it failed to come out of committee
The senator rcps no hope of action
during the sp> i id session but tin next
regular session. he believes, will
bring favorable action on the pro
posal.
Since the beginning of the sp* cinl
session numerous members of both
houses have aossured Senator Berg
man of thr'ir support, some of them
declaring the bill was ne ■ ssary in
order that the larger counties might
organize their affairs in a business
like mannar. Many county officials
also favor the proposed change, the
senator has been told.
The Bergman bill provides that on
petition of 2.1 per cent of the electors
of any county, the question, shall
the county l»er. ce organized under
the manager plan of government,"
shall be placed upon the ball-,* He
.reiving a majority vole the plan
would become effective t hi ' ,, years
from its adoption.
The board of supervisors would
appoint the manager who would have
direct control over the offices of
county auditor, treasurer, recorder
or clerk of the district court, filling
those offices by appointment. He
would employ all county employes
not otherwise provided for, fix their
compensation and supervise their
duties, being held responsible to the
board of supervisors for the acts of
departments tinder hi* supervision.
The salary of the county manager
would be fixed at not less Ilian $3,000
and not more than $.".000 .1 year.
The whole purpose ef the bill, ac
cording to Mr B< rgrs' in, is to per
mit counties, if they desire, to c oate
an office through which the affairs
of the county might be • ■omiucted jf,
"a modern, sen ntifio and business
like manner." The bill also provides
for a county budget system.
Senator Bergman points out that
♦he plan would save money for the
small counties as well as the large
ones, citing as nn instance, the fart
that in some small counties one clerk
would keep records of each depart
ment, while one man could easily]
I supervise all departments. It also
would centralize routine duties and
eliminate fi om the payrolls many
county employ < - w duties do not
require their full time.
