plain fncta nro that In the first draft
of tho league covonant tho Monroe Doc
trine, that strong ilcclarutlnn of n great
national policy which wo hnvo cherished
for moro than one hundred yenrs, waa
Ignored entirely. When the President
made hla brief visit nt home, between
periods of negotiations, ho discovered
that America, would nover consent to
'scrap' tho Monroo Doctrlno; that
America wan very strongly commuted
to tho upholding of this doctrine, hntl
held It In llttlo lean reverence thnn thn
Amerlcnn Constitution Itsolf. So, on lilt
return to Paris, tho President mado, or
pretended to make, a concession to tho
reverence of the .American people. Tho
concession won mndn In connection with
Article XXI. Thu olllclnl copies of tho
league covenant, executed by tho various
commissioners, Including our own, wero
printed In both English nnd French, In
parallel columns, Tho signatures to tho
covonant wero npponded beneath these
parullcl columns, nnd vory naturally
each column Is presumed to express
precisely what tho other column convoys,
In tho ICngllsh text tho exact words of
Artlclo XXI. read oa follows!
"Nothing In this covenant shall bo
deemed to nffect the validity of Intornn
tlnnal engagements, such aa treaties of
arbitration or regional understandings
llko tho Monroo Doctrine, for securing
the maintenance of peace.'
"This Is tho quotation from the Kng
Hah tfxt ns proclaimed to America nnd
alluded to ns tho ono outstanding ex
pression which safeguards tho Mcnroo
Doctrine. Hut It really does nothing of
tho sort, for It la a very flagrant mis
representation of whut tho Monroo Doc
trlno renlfy Is. Tho Monroo Doctrlno Is
not an 'International engagement' nor
'treaty of nrbltratlon' nor 'irgknul
understanding,' It la a plain, rqunrc,
fenrlers declaration of the Pulled .Stall. 1
which Is a warning agnlnst lCuropeau
nations exerting undue Influenco or ap
plying Improper pressure upon the help
less republics of tho Western Hemis
phere. Indeed, It Is America's winning
to tho Old World ngnlnst foreign aggies
lou, for our own protection and for the
protection of thoso who have a right
to look to this rcpubllo for an effective
manifestation of neighborly Interest.
"Hut this Is not the main ambiguity In
tho contract. Tho point 1 really wish to
stress la tho difference between tho
I'i'unch and tho English text, which
might very readily Involve us In un

ordination of the Monroo Doctrlno to
such a degree iih virtually to Invoivo Uh

"Inevitably somo queatlon Involving
tho Integrity of thn Monroo Doctrlno
would Imvo soon orison, with nn nppr.r

Americana would naturally have said
'Tho doctrlno must stnud unimpaired,
for tho covenant says Hint nothing In

Any European Power might Imvo re
plied In good reason, 'No, tho doctrlno

Consider the False Economy
Of Baking Bread at Home
First you have to buy flour, sugar, milk and all
the rest of the ingredients used and which cost
three and four times what they did a few years
ago.
1 1
Then consider the cost of fuel used in baking,
whether it be gas, coal, wood or electricity.
Consider your time and the long, hot, hard
, hours of bread baking labor.
Consider the waste of costly food material if
you have a baking failure.
Consider, too, how home baking adds to your
worries on the servant question. v
Consider all these things and compare your certain expense and
doubtful results with the alternative of buying from your dealer

'O CITY is self-contained and independent. New York does
not and cannot exist bv itself alone. It is bier so biethat
it must depend upon the entire State. It lives ' and grows and
oecomes greater eacn day witn trie aid ot the other communi
ties in this State. It is dependent upon the" produce and the
products of these communities. Day after day their men and
women must toil ,by thousands to enable the greatest city of
the Western World to carry on. Their pastures, their farms,
their forests, their factories and their mills must all give of
their output to the Metropolis, or else millions of people within
the city must suffer. J '
lLL roads lead to the modern Rome. They not only lead to
it, but they lead out from it to the centers of trade and
industry and agriculture upon which this city depends. These
roads are its highways, rivers, canals, railroads, telegraph and
telephone wires. They reach the large communities and the
small communities.
And of these none is greater than the telephone.
Its service is quick, direct and personal.
It keeps New York in touch with its sources of supplies.
Daily and hourly it carries the orders and directs and watches the transpor
tation and conduct df business, big .and little, with a speed and sureness that
saves New. York millions of dollars.
It is invaluable.
The New York of today could no more do without the service of the state
wide telephone system than it could do without transportation. The city and the
state are so closely related and their interests So finely interwoven that it is not
possible to separate them.
V This state-wide system of telephone commtinication must :
Serve all communities in the State.
Bring them all together into one neighborhood..
t Give everyone adequate service at reasonable cost.
To do their part to keep this system adequate the communities of the State
outside the City are paying higher rates. Now the City itself, the one community
that benefits most, is asked to do its part to maintain and develop this great
system this highway that has done so much to make New York big..
Not only must it be maintained. It must be expanded. New markets, new
industrial plants, new activities of all kinds are constantly springing1 up' in out of
the way corners. Before the wheels have begun to turp the telephone must be
there ready to serve them and you ready to make them a smoothly functioning
part of the great industrial fabric that is New York.
