Harding Plan of
Lasting Peace Is
ToldbyHarvev
Following Conference With
Elihu Root; Sclieme Is Re
vealed Would' Demand
People Vote on War.
Br PHILIP KINSLEY.
Chlcaro Tribune-Omaha Boe Iiwed Wire
'Marion, O., Dec. 14. President
elect Harding has under decision a
plan "designed to perpetuate peace
and to democratize the world." This
is stated in a memorandum issued
from Harding headquarters last
night.
This p!an in brief, it is further
stated, is "that the United States
stand sprnsor for an association of
popples who shall pledpe their re
spective governments for all time
never t." engage in offensive war
fare until the question has been sub
mitted to. nd decided by, the people
themselves." '
The president-elect declined, to
discuss, the matter, but Colonel
George Harvey, who 1ias been in
, Marion for several days and who
was close to Mr.1 Harding during the
campaign, has espoused the plan
with vigor. It is Colonel Harvey,
it is assumed, who proposed this to
Mr, Hardiiig.-
Bryan la Invited.
That it lias been growing on the
mind of the president-elect is plain
by the facl; of the announcement to
night. This announcement was made
after ft long talk between Mr. Hard-
ng and Elihu Root today, though
there is no suggestion that this
formed part of their conversation.
The statement accounts for the
invitat:on to William J. Bryan to
come to Marion this week, for it is
rcminifcent of a plan W which
Bryan has e'evoted years of thought.
If the league of nation is to be
rejected absolutely by the United
States, the plan named Is the sort
of definite world association de
signed to take its place, something
that would be in 'keeping with the
campaign pledge of Mr. Harding.
Such a plan would leave America
free from European alliances.
' Colonel Harvey told the newspa
permen that this had been the chief
topic of discussion between him and
the prer.ident-elect since arrival here
last Friday. It is tair to assume
that Mr. Harding has sounded out
his other visitors on the matter be
fore giving definite importance to the
sucrctestion.
This dwafs all previous proposi
tions of the kind, according to Colo
nel Harvey, who expressed the be
lief that a practicable plan could be
devised through friendly cnnsulation
and helpful co-operation with other
nation. Vt the merits oi the pro
posal it "it can be made effective,
he thought, "there could be no doubt
:n any mind sensitive to the highest
ideals and most worthy tradition of
Amcnlto."'- . ,

League Agrees
On Statute for
Justice Court
First Important Constructive
Act Passed After Verbal Dvuel
Between Europe and
Latin-America.
Br Th Auoflattd Fran.
Geneva, Dec,. 14. The assembly
accomplished today the first impor
tant constructive act inthe work
of the league of nations. In adopt
ing a statute for a permanent in
ternational court of justice,, The or
ganization as planned still lacks the
obligatory appearance of both par
ties to a dispute and provides no
penalty for noncompliance with the
decisions of the court.
The advocates of the project, how
ever, believe that it is the most com
plete plan that could be accepted
by, the different governments and
are confident that the good will of
the nations will temedy its defects.
The plan will go now to the different
states for ratification.
If 22, or a majority of the league,
approve it before the next meeting
of the assembly, the judges will be
elected and the court will come into
existence in September.
Long Oratorical Duel.
Adoption of the plan came after
an oratorical duel with Latin-America
on one side and Europe on the
ether, : over the question as to
whether the jurisdiction of the inter
national court 'Ought to he obliga
tory or voluntary. Raoul Fernan
dez, Brazil; Dr. Carlos Urueta, Co
lombia; Harmodio Arias, Panama!
Aristides Agueros, Cuba; Senor
T
Blanco, Uruguay, and Scnor Ara
mayo, Bolivia, insisted with great
force upon the necessity' of obliga
tory jurisdiction to make the court
really effecti"e. .
, Some of the speakers made refer
ence to the small majority in the
committee which had forced a
large minority to bend to its will.
It was also declared that the powers
had used their greater influence to
defeat the most important features
of the league. The greater number
of the IS speakers were skeptical as
to the value of optional jurisdiction
as provided (r.r in the project. $

To the Public
'a.
Why We Are Compelled to Ash for Increased Rates:
i ( " . -: '
9 Five million dollars have been spent in the last five
years for additions and betterments to our system to main
tain the high standard of our service, and the public has
daily reaped the benefit of our efforts. . t
9 We are not asking the-public to pay a price to rebuild
our system, as.it has been and. will be" kept at 100 per
cent efficiency if rates will allow us to do so.
- , .. ' "V!"' . ''.' ' 't
9 No utility service, including gas, telephone, telegraphy
wate(t or railway has supplied the people of Omaha at
rates as favorable to the public as electric light and power.
This is shown by the fact that out of 114 cities of over
50,000 population, Omaha has enjoyed the lowest electric
light rates, with the exception of three cities, two of which
have cheap water power, and one of which is located near
the Pennsylvania coal fields.
9 We ask only a REASONABLE RATE on the FAIR
value of our property, no matter1 what efforts may be made
to cloud the issue by discussions of our "capitalization".
