Mr. Taft, Speaking In Toledo,
Says League of Nations Is
Imperative To Insure Peace
Occupying as he docs a ground "During the war. England and
between that of extreme partisans France forme dcommisslons to draft
on either side, former President Taf t's
views auract ruuen attention.
William Howard Taft predicts that
when the peace treaty comes before
the United States senate for ratifi
cation, it will provide for a league
o f nations.
Then the question will be: "Do you
want to postpone peace because you
are opposed to a league of nations?"
Four great steps toward permanent
peace have been accomplished by the
conferees at eVrsailles through ten-
i Motive planks In th covenant. Taft
s(wi) TiieJr nre:
prirat deduction of armament.
" Second Protection against ester
mil aggression.
Third Agreement not to begin
war until after referendum of diffi
culties to the executive council.
Fourth Open diplomacy.
Sees Another War.
'If a league of nations covenant
1 not adopted, there will be another
groat war, ten time as destructive as
the one Just finished," warns Taft.
"It will he a world suicide, for hu
man Ingenuity has been focused on
devising instruments for human des
t ruction.
V'The covenant reaches to the heart
of'tlie cause of the Avar." he asserts.
"If 'the nations unite, It will avoid
most wars. Some learned senators
say the covenant Is supersolvent, In
that the league has only the power
to recommend, and not to enforce.
"This is a forced construction, for
the purpose of defeating the league
plan .
League to Have Teeth.
"When it is adopted, you will find
the word 'recommend' will develop
into 'command,' the word 'advise'
into "direct, ' and 'propose' Into 'or
der.' "It has been said thnt the cove
nant endangers the Monroe doctrine.
It, In fact, extends most principles of
the Monroe, doctrine to the entire
world."
Taft says three groat classes al
ready favor the league plan organ
lzer abor, churches and religious folk,
anil, (omen. Ilusiue men, he fears,
wvrf' recalcitrant.
The purpose of the treaty, he says,
is to rearrange the map of middle
Europe and Asia Minor m as to Insert
a Czecho-Slovak state as a buffer be
tween Germany and Austria, provide
autonomy in Aslo Minor, Internation
alize Constantinople and guard it. en
large Rumania, rearrange the Balkan
states and carve .ome '2o states "out
of the three or four countries with
whom we had to contend."
Need Stability in Europe.
"We must have power to maintain
stability in Europe, and instability
there cannot but affect our stabil
ity," says Taft. "Who must main
tai nthe stability,? The five great
powers America. France, the British
empire, Italy and Japan."
lii-a world league to come later,
thj proposed league of nations, now
forming, will be the charter member,
and will frame the constitution.
a world league. Tnc united States
did not. When President Wilson went
abroad, be found the two tentative
drafts before him. Out of them was
formed the present covenant."
Elaborating on the four steps, Taft
pointed out that competitive arma
ment was the main reason for the
war.
Explains Accomplishments.
The provision for protection
against external aggression is an an
swer to Germany's militarism, Taft
declares. It upholds the command
ment "Thou shalt not steal."
The third step, In which agreement
Is made to refer differences to the
excutiv council and then, after the
ruling, defer war for three mouths if
not satisfied, Taft praised highly. He
Insists that the provision for boycott
of a nation disobeying the council's
edict is all powerful, although he ad
mits the. anangement isn't "war
proof."
"Abolishment of secret treaties
an dremodeling of treaties now in ef
fect to conform with the open diplo
macy Idea, Is a great step toward
peace," says Taft.
FOREVER
BARRED FROM
ZENSHIP.
C1TI-
Forty-four alien "slackers" have
had their "first papers" revoked at
New York, and have been Informed
by n Supreme Court. Justice that they
can ncvtjr be naturalized. One case,
which serves as a type of all, was
that of Alfred S. Andressen, a Nor
wegian. He had taken out first pa
pers, but when he was drafted he
claimed exemption op the ground that
he was still a subject of King Haa
kon. The law gives the courts no
choice in such cases; the "slacker"
Is forever barred from citizenship.
TRAIN EVERY BOY, 19 TO 29?
Shall every American boy of 19
receive military training? This is
the proposal that the Army War Col
lege Is to make to Congress.
All youths of that age will be
drafted, according to this plan, un
less they are excused for physical dis
ability or for some other good rea
son. Training is to continue not less
than one year. The plan seems to do
away with the National Guard.
In support of the scheme, it Is ar
gued that the young men will be
greatly improved in every way by
their year in the Army, and the Gov
ernment will never again be caught
unprepared to resist aggression. But
it is not expected that the plan .will
get through Congress without fierce
opposition.

Splendid Shows at
Auditorium Next Week
The week of April 13th will be a
notable one at the Auditorium The
atre, Toledo. On Tuesday evening,
April 15th, Mr. Cyril .uaudc, the fam
ous English aclor, and a splendid
company will present C. Hadtlon
Chambers' latest comedy "The Sav
ing Grace." The play won great suc
cess in London last season and has
met with equal favor on this side
at the Empire Theatre, New York.
The role of Blinn Corbet, a happy-go-lucky,
optimistic ex-officer of His
Majesty's Service, in which Mr.
Maude is to be seen, is totally unlike
the character of "Grumpy," in which
the eminent actor appeared when he
last visited this city. The character
is, however, quite as distinct in type
and it will undoubtedly become one
of Uie most famous of Mr. Maude's
many distinguished stage figures. Mr.
Maude appears under the direction
of the Charles tYohman Company
