Borah's Fight
On League Not
To Be Halted
Poindexter AUo Declares
'I'liat New Draft Fails
to Meet Criticisms of
Objectors in the Senate
New Vorl.- Tribune
Washington Bun au
WASHINGTON, April 14. Senator
i Borah, of Idaho, on his return to 'he
capital to-day after an extensive speak?
ing tour in the West, declared that the
reported revision-; in the draft of the
league of nations were not sufficient to
warrant any change in the fundamental
objections to th ? proposal which he en?
tertains and that he will continue his
opposition to its acceptance by the
Senate.
Characterizing the amended league
proposal as "not a league of peoples.
not a league of free nations, but a
league of diplomats, of officials, of im?
perialists," Senator Borah declared that
it still failed to recognize the principle
of self-determination, and, in conse?
quence, was "simply a vast machine
1 ased on military power to oppress and
hold in subjection all small nations
and to sterilize all progress."
A few Senators now in Washington
refused to discus- the document at
present, and not all those who would
talk agreed with Senator Borah.
Chamberlain Favors League
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, ex?
pressed the opinion that the covenant.
as amended, was a practicable instru?
ment and would be acceptable to the
Senate. Senator Harding, of Ohio. Re?
publican, preferred to wait until the
plenary session of the peace confer?
ence hail accepted the new draft be?
fore discussing it. Senator Poindex?
ter. of Washington, replied by wire
from Washington that his objections
to the league had not been eliminated.
Senator Borah's statement follows:
"It is difficult to discuss in detail
the effect of the changes in the pro?
posed constitution in view of the fact
that we have not the language of the
instrument, but only some one's con?
struction,
"But il would seem, first, that the
proposed league would commit us to
alliances with European and Asiatic
powers and oblig? us to take part in
the ordinary conflicts and turmoils of
Europe.
"Second That we still assume the
tremendous obligation of guaranteeing
the territorial integrity and political
independence of all nations members
of the league.
"Third That under the voting ar?
rangements of the league control of the
'?ntire machinery of the league remains
in the hands of European and Asiatic
powers.
"Fourth- The whole matter of dis?
armament rests, as it is now, with the
judgment and discretion of each na?
tion. Of course this is no disarma?
ment at all.
"Fifth?If the jurisdiction and power
of the executive council remains the
same as heretofore then the language
preserving the .Monroe Doctrine is in?
appropriate and wholly inadequate.
"Sixth- The league still fails to pro
vide any machinery for the application
of the principle oi" self-determination,
without which there never can he peace.
"Seventh It still fails to provide any
check or control whatever upon the
part of the people over the five or nine
nun within whose unlimited and unde?
fined discretion rests the question of
peace or war. ?i still leaves it in the
power vi those live or nine men to
commit us to war."
Thinks Senate Will Approve
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon,!
said:
"The reservation for the Monroe Doc?
trine, the exclusion of the proposed
clause for racial equality, the provision
for a two years' notice of withdrawal
and thaf affecting the limitation of
marnent have removed the most seri?
ous objections to the league. The cove
bi e. will come '.o i he S mate
in such form that it can bi accepted as
a part of the treaty of peace."
Senator Poindexter's statement fol?
low.- :
"Regarding the reported amendments
to the league of nations' constitu?
tion as cabled from Paris yesterday,
I would state:
"First, if the provisions for a unani?
mous vote include the votes of parties
to an international dispute, requiring
their agreement on any action, it of
course leaves the leagui meaningless
and powerless. a< the agreement
makes action of the league unneces?
sary, If the parties to the dispute are
not allowed to vote, then their vital
affairs arc under the control of an
alien tribunal, in which they have no
voice, a total surrender of sovereignty
as to such matters.
Members Forever Controlled
"Second, the provision that a mem?
ber can withdraw only after two years'

has decided that its obligations have
bei h performed, puts the member na?
tions forever under the control and
discretion of the league.
"Third, the amendments provide that
army or navy of the member nation
cannot be increased without the per?
mission of the league. This is a fatal
provision and wholly unconstitutional.
"Fourth The consideration and vote
by the commission on the question
of immigration shows the assumption
by the league of jurisdiction in this
vital question. The action of the
commission on this particular question
is of secondary importance in com?
parison with the significance of its
assumption of it.- jurisdiction in this
matter, involving the right to take
such action in the future.
"Fifth?So far as reported, the con?
stitution stiil contains the provisions
giving the league, and tribunals
created under it, jurisdiction over
every international dispute- a pro?
vision, utter!;, destructive of American
independence.
Cruel Burden for America
"Sixth?This constitution stiil con?
tains the agreement to guarantee the
personal and territorial independence
of every nation member of the league
a cruel and unconscionable burden
to place upon the American people.
"Seventh The automatic declaration
of universal war, involving the right of
passage of belligerent troops through
the territory of every member of the
league .is a shameful affront against
th epeace of the world.
"Eighth The provision that states
not members of the league may be
forced, when they decline to accept the
orders of the league, sets up such a
military despotism of the world as we
have never before conceived, and is
utterly destructive of the fundamental
principles of the American Declara?
tion of Independence.

thesd fatal defects, and yet is entirely
effective. If we are really desirous of
international cooperation to enforce
peace, whv not join this Entente and
enforce peace in Europe now?"
Hitchcock Predicts Ratification
Senator Hitchcock, retiring chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
said :
"I believe thai the amendments to

the objections of most of the Senators
who have Oppos ?! the original draft. I
am certai n ; hai I ? . I i i"- ral ifii ,1 by
the Senate."
Senator Walsh, of Montana. Demo?
crat, saiii :
"I do notthink thai the amendments
to the league of nations constitution
will satisfy Senators Borah, Reed and
Poindexter. I could not say whether
they will meet the objections of Sena?
tors Knox and Lodge. Certainly they
have said things in the Senate which
would indicate that the amendment will
not meet th.-ir dcsir.es."
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, Demo?
crat . declared :
"I believe the league constitution as
amended is very much of an improve?
ment over the original draft. It clears
up many things that were obscure be?
fore. It certainly protects the Monroe
Doctrine. I believe that the new league
constitution will disarm criticism."

Saar Miner- To Be
Owned by Franee
Other newspapers do not mention
any change in the terms, but all in?
formation in French quarters agrees in
regard to the Saar Valley. It is said
that it is settled the mines will be?
come tin- absolute property of France,
which will police the region, which,
however, will be administered by a sort
of directorate under the auspices of
the league of nations.
This directorate will consist of one
inhabitant of the Saar region, one
Frenchman and three nominees of the
league. The r?gime, it is said, will last
for fifteen years, when a plebiscite
will be held, and in the event that the
inhabitants elect to return to Ger?
many that nation will be obliged to
buy back the mines, paying in gold.
To carry out. this task would be no
mean undertaking, say the commenta?
tors, especially those of the "Echo de
Paris" and "Le Journal," who declare
it to be simply a repetition of the
Tangier r?gime, which they say has
been seen to be the equivalent of
"most complete inertia."

from a failure to understand the re?
quirements and could be corrected.

who will guard the bridgeheads and
railroad junction.
Freneh to Draw Back
As Indemnity Is Paid
In addition, there is to be a new
thirty-mile neutral military zone on
the right bank of the river, it is said.
These two measures will be in force
but fifteen years, French troops being
progressively withdrawn as instalments
of the debt are paid by Germany, as
was done by that country with France
in 1871.
"Pertinax," writing in the "Echo
de Paris," maintains that if France is
left to "guard alone the common good
of civilization she ought, to be backed
actively by a defensive alliance with
England and America, which is clearly
defined in detail."

Advocate of World Pact,
Fias Little Confidence in
?N Efficacy
LONDON, April 14.?The summary of
the amended covenant of the league of
nations evokes no enthusiasm in the
London morning newspapers, and it is
declared by some commentators to be
less satisfactory than the first draft:
"The Chronicle," for instance, fixes
certain points which it thinks make the
new draft "distinctly, and perhaps de?
cisively, inferior to the old."
The newspaper condemns the policy
of requiring unanimity for the deci?
sions of both the council and assem?
bly, and also condemns the terms upon
which the covenant may be amended
and permission given any nation to
withdraw on two-years' notice. It re?
gards the covenant as unharmed by
the Monroe Doctrine amendment, which.
it believes, should facilitate' the ad?
hesion of the United States to the
covenant.
"The Daily News," which is' a warm
champion of the principle of the league.
sees danger in some of its provisions.
It objects to the constitution of the
new- council which, it says, "will mani?
festly be controlled by prominent rep
representatives of the five great pow
? era when they are in agreement," and
it fails to see how the four representa?
tives of other powers chosen for the
assembly can have much independence.
The paper does not express any great
confidence in the efficacy of the league
in any case.
The labor paper, "The Daily Herald."
says the summary does not indicate
much improvement on the original
draft. It declares that, from a demo?
cratic viewpoint, "the league is still an
alliance of states, and not a union of
peoples."
"The Post." which is an opponent of
the league and a severe critic of Presi?
dent Wilson, refers ironically to the
"new Garden of Eden" in which "the
Monroe Doctrine will take the place of
the treee of knowledge of good and
evil," referring to the "fruits of the
Western Hemisphere being forever for?
bidden to signatories of the 'eague."

what are you advertising."
'"What do you expect the
advertising, in which you arc
investing \our money, to do
tor your business?" Fre?
quently the advertiser can
state no sound objects-.
It is not enough to say
merely, "We advertise in

Everything you do in your

Before a firm can use ad?
vertising properly, the results
to be achieved must be de?
termined. In other words,
before deciding how to obtain
the result, the advertiser must
have a proper conception of
what the function of adver?
tising is for his particular
business.
One of the first duties of
"Planned Advertising" is to
define the "Objects of Adver?
tising." Before the plan is
ready for execution, it is
necessary that the advertiser
and ourselves should agree on
these objects. Then, as each
matter comes up for dis
cuss ion -choice of media, sire
iN- space, time o? insertion,
art, etc , the decision is
made with direct reference to
its effect on these agrecd-upon
subjects.
When the officials of the
American Mutual Liability
Insurance Company first
came to us. they asked our ad?
vice as to doing a certain
thing which had to do with
advertising and sales-pro?
motion. We induced them to
first let us prepare a plan.
In this plan, the "Objects of
Advertising" were clearly
stated: and with this before us
we were able to answer the
question which they originally
asked.
The complete plan was de?
livered to the officials of the
company, and on the same
day that it was delivered we
were given orders to execute
it, in full, exactly as specified
in the plan.
In the ?Ca? urda y Evening
Pest of April 12th is an ex?
ample of the advertising now
being run.

about our methods, we would
