THE HOUSTON POST:'. SUNDAY MORNING MARCH 2. 1919.
BREEDER OF WARS
HOT PEACE LEAGUE
'- SEN. KNOX SAYS
V (Continued from Page One.)
rwas observed that "the high eontrsetinit
parties" did not comprise every member
Xtte in the league and that therefore
the "burden assumed by the hipb con-
tracting parties whoever they may b
possibly the 'big five' is crushing in Its
weignt.
Would Admit Teutons.
The aenator warned especially gaint
leaving the central powers out f the
league sayfng the inevitable result would
be to drive them more closely tojither
for" mutual self-protection thus 'making
the formation of. a second leajrie of na-
tions bidding for 'adherence from neutral
states almost a certainty.
"Thus at no distant date" he con-
tinued "we should have two great
leagues of nations and two great camps
each preparing for a new ami greater
life and death struggle."
"'Even the term h ag te of nations is
deceptive misnomer.' Senator Knox
declared. "for under this proposed plan
the nations of the world are divided into
three classes:
"First signatories of the covenant:
these are not named but it is assumed
they will include and p isslhly be con-
lined to the tive great entente powers
that is to say. the Untish empire Kiauce
Italy Japau'and the l uited States.
"Second stares cot signatory but
Earned in the protocol. No information
is given as to who these states are
though surely they wiii ineiude such en-
tente powers if uny. as are not signa-
tories as well as certain other states ucu-
trat in llm cllief liiiw i.wir.c. AMil
"Third those states which are neither
signatories nor protocol states and which
must to be admitted to the league be
prt pared to give certain effective guar-
antees as to their intention to be bound
by their international obligations. These
. latter are outcast states and presumably
'include the central powers and their allies
-in the war.
; "Thus a league of rations in the sene
of all the nations is not created by this
i document nor are the states members of
Mhe league treated as equals
t "The term league is a misnomer in
another and really vital matter. For a
league can not as a confederation and
a confederation implies a right in the
several parties to withdraw at their will.
But there is no right of secession with-
in the four corners of this Covenant. fn
the other hand the association here pro-
vided for is a union in the full sense of
that terra as applied to our own political
I institutions. Once in this union aim we
! remain there no matter how onerous its
gigantic burdens may oeoome.
"No matter how- great the distaste and
revulsion our people may have toe it.
we must remain members until either we
persuade all the states represented in
the executive council and three-fourths
of those represented in the body ot dele-
gates to bid us depart in peace or until
'the league crumbles of its own weight or
I is destroyed by its enemies or until we
I tight our way out against the British cm-
ipire France Italy. Japan aud all the
lesser states they are able to persuade
to join the league."
! Senator Knox took up the six oper-
! ative bodies of the league and criticised
j them one by one.
I As to the body of delegates Senator
' Knox's chief criticism was that the con-
jstitution contained no provisions for their
appointment removal compensation or
(tenure.
j Senator Knox objected to the forma-
Itiou of the executive council because it
' t-.i)il ha CfnmiKeil fit nlilv lliliA of half
a hundred states and practically would
be given the power to declare war make
its own laws sit as a court aud pass
judgment and then determine the means
of enforciu" its judgments.
"A body clothed with powers such as
given to this council is an anachronism"
said Sennror K:iov. "Tr hetollffs to the
jjflys crthe Modes and the i'ersians. A
Million more abhorrent to our traditions
'free institutions and trend of all civilized
government could not be devised."
j Provisions for the mandatory com-
! mission Senator Knox thought were in-
; definite as to organization and operation.
; Of the burea'i of labor be asked whether
lit was the intent to put labor of all
t countries upon an equality.
"If this be the intent labor of this
! country . may consider inasmuch as
. France already has given notice it will
be impossible to put French labor on an
.en'ialuy with American whether it is
i proposed to bring American labor to the
! level of French labor in order that there
j may be equitable treatment of the com-
merce of the two countries."
! Galleries Crowded.
I Senator Knox spoke about an hour and
a half with few interruptions. As has
t been the case since discussion of the
league of nations plan baa been In prog-
ress "in the senate all galleries were
crowded. In accordance with warnings
given by the chair against demonstra-
tions no applause followed the conclu-
sion of tbe speech but business had to
be suspended for a few minutes while
many senators congratulated the Penn-
sylvania senator upon his speech.
He declared the league constitution
would violate the American constitution
bv limiting the power of congress to pro-
vide an army and navy restricting con-
gress in its powers to determine when
and for what reason the country should
go to war. limiting and practically de-
stroying the country'a treaty making
powers and also destroying the force and
efficiency of the tenth amendment in
that it commits to the league the decision
of questions that are local to the States
over which congress has no control. He
deplored what he termed "evolution of
progressive democracy into international
bolshevlsm." and asserted that during the
war the federal government baa usurped
the power of the States.
' Hardwick't Swan Song.
"I am sorry." said Senator Hardwjek
discussing the league's constitution "that
we can not have statesmen like Senator
Knox instead of untried statesmen like
Colonel House."
At that the galleries applauded but
were admonished by the chair.
Senator Hardwick. announcing that his
speech probably would be his last one in
the senate referred to the. November
elections followed Closely by the signing
of the armistice.
"The administration conducted the war
to a successful and glorious conclusion"
be said "and at the moment of victory
it was repudiated at the polls."
Senator Hardwick suggested thatIex-
ico might set up a claim in the league for
a return of Texas and that the I'nited
States either would have to arbitrate the
dispute or refuse to admit the league's
jurisdiction.
America has already been chosen the
senator said he believed as the mandat-
ory for Armenia. He said he opposed
seeing "this country appointed the police-
man for the world" and in reply to a
question from Senator Reed of Missouri
declared it would require "an army with
no limit" to police Russia alone.

IF A MAN FINGERS A PIECE OF CLOTH he's Stanley in Darkest
Africa. He's blindly groping he doesn't know. If a woman fin-
gers a piece of cloth her fingers trained from childhood to be as
sensitive as a physician's or a magician's have eyes she knows.
Same way with Tailoring with Linings with Trimmings with Seams
with Buttonholes; with the Contour of a Collar the Shape of a
Shoulder the Lay of a Lapel.
KNOWING that a woman knows value more than any man and
that Landers' Company Clothes have it more than any others
we invite every woman solicitous for the appearance of any
fnan to come along with him to our store as consulting ertpert.
A
WOMAN'S expert opinion won't hurt a man and can't hurt our
clothes for value genuinely given and truly there is afraid of
no man and no woman. May we expect you both tomorrow?
