EVANS WOOLLEN
MAKES STRONG
PLEA FOR PACT
Banker Gives Careful Analy
sis of Covenant in Conners
ville Speech.
OBJECTIONS NOT VALID
Bpecial to The Time*.
CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 30.—Evans
Woollen, president of the Fletcher Sav
ings and Trust Company of Indianapolis,
made a stirring appeal for the League
of Nations in a speech here last night.
He explained the league covenant In
detail and then gave the reasons why
he believed it should be adopted.
Mr. Woollen said:
What manner of thing is the covenant
of the League of Nations?
It is an agreement to promote interna
tional cooperation In an effort to achieve
peace and security.
The members of the league agree that
each will keep its armament within lim
itations. self-imposed, on the recommen
dation of the league's council; that they
will respect and preserve as .igainst ex
ternal aggression the territorial integ
rity and political independence of each
other; that each may bring to the
league’s attention any threatening cir
cumstance; thJt no member will resort
to war against another member until
throe months after the dlsputs has been
arbitrated or inquired into by the
league’s council; that any member re
sorting to war in disregard of its agree
ment shall be deemed to have committed
an act of war against all the others:
that all treaties shall be submitted to the
league for publication, and that plans
for a permanent court of international
justice shall be formulated.
WAR VICTORY DUE .
TO COOPERATION. '
From this summary it will be seen that
the League of Nations is an unJe. taking
to apply permanently In our relations to
the other nations of the world the great
lesson of the war, namely, that victory
is the result of cooper-tlon.
Was that not the lesson of the Food
Administration and of the other coop
erating instrumentalities?
Was it not also the lesson of the com
mand united under Marshal Foeb?
And as of victory In war, so of victory
over war.
It will be achieved nltlmateiy by co
oper-tion. by face-to-face conference,
and the League of Nations is nn instru
mentality for service in the direction of
that ultimate victory over war.
Such then in brief was the covenant
of the League of Nat ons which the Pres
ident brought from I'aris and submitted
to the Senate.
There this great plan for the ameliora
tion of the suffering of the world was
degraded by passion and hypocrisy. And
the befuddling obpect;ons havh never
ceased.
Objection is nude that !t is unwise to
engage as the members do in article 10.
to respect and preserve r.s against ox
ternil aggression the territorial Integrity
of each other; that we cannot, with due
r gard to the teachings of history, ex
pect the boundaries by the
Treaty of Versailles to continue Indefi
nitely.
I’erhaps we cannot thus expect.
But that Is not to say that boundaries
can be changed only by force of arms.
One of the functions of the League of
Nations is to change boundaries peace
ably.
NEW CONDITIONS
GREET WOULD.
Meantime, boundaries had to be estab
lished and maintained.
Four powerful governments in Europe,
governmet ts wh'ch provided for tbe most
part the law and order of their regions
have fallen.
The governments of Russia, of Austria,
of Germany and of Turkev were despotl ■
but with the exception of that *>f Ger
many, they were the growth of centuries
and for a vast stretch of years had pro
vided the method of life for millions ot
people.
Many new weak nation* have risen in
their places with untried governments
n which untried theory has supplanted
the smoothly running ways of established
practice.
Some of these new nations the T'ntted
States, toge’hcr with tbe allies, assumed
th responsibility of setting up in East
ern Europe. '
Surely we and the allies owe it to
those nations to preserve their boundary
lines as against external aggression, at
least until they are on their fc-t.
If we do not owe it to them we do owe
it to the peace of the world.
St'ch was the view of Mr. Taft.
“The League of Nations." he said. “is
essential to an effective treaty of peace
to accomplish the purpos sos the war
* * * Unless there be some means so
authoritatively Interpreting the trenf.'
and applying It, and unless the power
of the league be behind It to give effeo
to such Interpretation and nppllcatlo
the treaty. Instead of producing pear
will produce a state of confirmed war."
Such also was the view of Ellhu Rod
on article 10.
He believed the article should be lint
Red in time.
In his recent speech he objected t
the article as a guaranty “for all time.’
But as to the present, for five year
at least, he had no doubt.
The boundary lines of reconstruction
must be determined by the allies.
Their determination must be enforced.
They nay make mistakes Doubtless
they will, but there must be decision,
and decision must be enforced.
UNITED STATES
CANNOT QUIT.
Under these conditions tbe United
States cannot quit.
it must go on to the performance
of its duty and the immediate aspect
of article 10 is an agreement to do that
Let it be remembered, too, that artlcl.
10 is not an undertaking by the league’s
members to participate generally in In
ternational quarrels.
ft is an undertaking only against ex
ternal aggression.
As Mr. Taft said: “It organizes the
powers of the world to maintain th*
international commandment, thou shall
not steal by force.’’
Another objection Is that the covenatit
of the League of Nations Is such an en
tangling alliance as Washington in the
farewell address warned us against.
To the contrary, we answer, that the
covenant, being an engagement with the
nations of the world to promote peace
differs essentially from the typical nil!
ance, being an engagement with anothei
nation to support its fortunes in war.
We answer also that the world of
Washington's day differs esseutlalh
from the world of this day.
The world In which we struggled to
nationhood differs essentially from the
world in which we have attained fun
grown strength.
The contacts between nations are In
tensifled and multiplied a thousand tlmci.
Isolation then was possible.
Isolation now, as we found in 1917 is
impossible.
’’Do you suppose,” asks • Justice
Hughes, “that when we entered the great
war w* proposed to remain isolated?”
Kather than that we be tied to Wash
ingtons words of a century ago we had
better bo tied to his character and his
purposes.
He did not set himself against chsngc
Ile has been rightly called “one of the
greatest innovators in history, for th
reason that be fixed his vision, not upon
the past. hut on the facts of his day anil
the problems of the future.”
< eorge Washington was no stand
patter.
No, the covenant of the League of Na-
tions is not an entangling alliance any
more than it was, as Senator Harding
has charged, "conceived for world super
government.’’
To that charge we answer, as the Presi
dent answered, that our sovereignty
would be impaired by membership only
as the sovereignty of every man is im
paired who makes a choice to respect the
rights of his neighbors.
It would be impaired only, if indeed
as much, ns by the acceptance of the
international court that Senator Harding
wants.
We answer, also, in Mr. Taft’s words,
that “No function or discretion is taken
from any branch of the Government
which it iiow performs or exercises.”
The essential characteristic of govern
ment is that it orders and, if necessary,
backs its orders with force.
The league, as we have heretofore
pointed out. has no power to order the
course of the member nations.
It has no power to tax or declare war
or conscript or legislate by majority
vote. , ,
It only advises and recommends and
does that only by unanimity.
The league, accordingly, is not a gov
ernment, super or otherwise.
It has been correctly characterized us
an “instrument for confidence.’’
Senator Harding n talk about a super
government ts unfair as hla talk about
a military alliance is unfair.
CONSTITUTIONAL
QUESTION RAISED
Another objection is that the provision
tn the covenant against making war ex
cept under certain conditions is an im
pairment of the constitutional power of
Congress to declare war when and as
it deems fit.
Indeed, Senator Harding and Chairman
Hay* have been asserting recently that
ihe league and the Constitution are Irrec
oncilable; that we must choose between
the two.
Rather than rely in that matter on the
Judgment of an editor and a political
chairman would It not be safer to rely
on the Judgment of constitutional law
vers, such as former President Taft and
his Attorney General. Mr. Wickershum?
The former has pointed out that the
Senate has already ratified twenty
treaties, the so-called Bryan treaties, In
which we have engaged not to make war
until the lapse of a year.
No contention tins been made, so far
a* I am aware, that those treaties Im
paired the constitutional power of Con
?lAnd then there is the last resort of the
objectors of the priests and the LevUes,
of those who would find excuse for our
betrayal of the league.
Why, they ask has your league failed
to slop the Russian-Polish war and the
oth-r wars In Europe?
There arc several answers.
As to the Russian Polish war it may
bo answered that one of the parties to
the controversy, like Mexico and t.ie
United Slates, was not a member of the
league and accordingly the opportunity
for usefulness was limited
Besides. It ts not clntmed that tue
league will end the menace of war. but
that the menace of war will be lessened
hr its ministrations.
And then the most important nnwer
Is that where the lca'-ue looked confident
ly for friendship and support, It has met
<jesrtlon and Petra? al.
For It Is as certain as anything con
jectural can b“ that had tbe united
States given quick gtieglence the whole
world would have responded to the pull
for the common good inaugurated by the
league.
OBJECTIONS
NOT VALID.
And thus we find the objections to the
covenant of the League of Nations of
no sucu validity as justifies us in de
clining to u.idcrtake promptly our pnrt
in binding up the wounds of the world
in planning and executing its rehabili
tation; In promoting peace by an asso
