Winning Plan
Monroe Doctrine Preserved
and Fused With World
Court for W ar Preven
tion, They Say.
Generally favorable opinions of the
Bok peace plan, published Monday
morning in The Omaha Bee, were ex
pressed to Oraahans yesterday.
Concensus of opinion appeared to
favor any plan which permits the
I 'nited States to co-operate with other
nations In the maintenance of peace,
while reserving all right to deal in
dependently with problems nffeclinp
'lie nation's internal welfare.
"I am pleased with the plan In
general," said .J H Beveridge, super
intendent of public schools, this morn
mg. But Mr. Beveridge believes that
there should be restrictions. "There
should he no tangling in European'
affairs,” he said.
District Judge Charles A. Goss ex
pressed himself in favor of the plan.
Monroe Doctrine preserved,
“It looks good to me.” he said "It
scents to favor absolute preservation
of the Monroe doctrine and at the
same time falls in line with the world
court idea.”
“It Is a good plan," observed John
P. Breen, attorney. "We should pre
serve our power to act independently,
however, in affairs whlcll affect our
general welfare."
Robert Smith, f ieri; of the district
court, expressed himself favorably.
"80 far as it goes, it is a good
plan,’’ he said. "Wo can no longer
maintain our policy of aloofness. All
nations must come together and dis
cuss world problems so that every
nation may know what the consensus
of world opinion is on problems which
might lead to conflict. There is no
abatement of the opposition of the
people to Articles X and XVI of the
league, hut there has been a changc
of attitude, since the last election, anil
there Is a now idea of interdepend
ence."
World Co-Operation.
Ed P. Smith, lawyer and former
mayor of Omaha, commended the
plan.
“The feature which Impresses me
most," he said, “is the possibility of
settling controversies through peace
ful means rather than by war. it
will require the cooperation of the
whole world. 1 think it is a good
plan, and I am for it.”
Mrs. E. G. McGilton, 102 North
Thirty-eighth avenue, who takes an
active interest In polit! s, says that
the Bed; peace plan looks mote prac
tical than any that has yet been
brought forth.
“The plan is looking toward the
light attitude,” said Mrs. McGilton
If European nations would act In
the same spirit there would be no
need of war."
Mrs. TV E. McKelvy. presld. nt of
the Omaha J.eague of Women Voters,
said: “No l'an will 'wo'i’k' until It in
tried, but if the Bolt pence plan will
■ ■o-operate with the league of nations
then can something be done toward
peace."
Only Remedy in Sight.
The Bok peace plan sec-ms to be the
only remedy in sight, was the ex
pression of the Rev. E. II. Jenks, of
the First Presbyterian churH> "1 shall
vote yes on the plan." lie said.
Mrs. C. Ij. Uempel, prominent nif-in
tier of the Omaha Woman's club
said: “The plan is a good one. If we
have nations we have to recognize
them. We cannot leave out one na
tion if we are to have real peace."
Miss Belle Ryan of the board of edu
cation office, expresses a hope that
the Bok peace plan Is the super plan
for which the world has been looking.
We have reached a point in civiliza
lion when we must get together ami
prevent wars.” said Miss Ryan.
Miss Ada Campbell, secretary of the
local Y. W. C, A., approves of the Bok
peace plan if It is something that
will bring peace.
"I think the Bok peace plan Is
towards evolution instead of revolu
tion.” said Mrs. F. It Cole, counsul
jf the National Civil Service Reform
league. “The plan may seem idealis
tic, but we all must work for an
ideal. T am decidedly for tho Inter
national court, but I do not approve
•f any country putting Itself beyond,
ilia pc*vcr to protect Itself. Our conn
try should be well aware of what
other* aro doing, and this evolution
should be toward elimination of any
such trouble.”
John Jj. Kennedy, president of th<
United Htates National bank, said
10 would rather give no opinion un
11 after he had given the plan cart
ful study.

^any motorists fancy that during cold weather it is hetter
in l§ H to Pa¥ a cenr or two extra gallon for a so-called
JeL/Q^SL “special winter gasoline."
The extra price asked for “special winter gasoline" is
v^QlVx charged for a supposed superiority in starting a cold
motor quickly.
We have compared every gasoline marketed in Nebraska with Red
Crown—the balanced gasoline. We know , and you can easily prov e,
that for quick starting in winter, for power and mileage, you can t buy
a better cold weather gasoline than Red Crown — the balanced gasoline.
Only gasoline with a proper proportion of low boiling point trac
tions can give quick starting in cold weather. Red Crown—the
balanced gasoline—has plenty of these low boiling point lractions
and every other property necessary to make winter motoring both
economical and satisfactory. .
We could quote scientific proof of Red Crown's superiority for
winter driving, initial boiling point, dry point and refining processes.
But these things confuse rather than convince the untechnical. Fhc
best proof is satisfactory performance.
Drive up to any Red Crown Service Station and till up your tank.
I .el your own car prone that it is not necessary to pay an extra price Jor
