LIGHT ON THE ANTI-LEAGUE CONTENTIONS.
In the absence of .luceI facilities f..r acquir ing full and accurate know

the world. The fragmentary press references seldom provide more- than a
relieve humanity of the recurrent and baneful wars which have bathed the
"orld in blood for unnumbered centuries, by the c re ation of a great organiza
tion of International units pledged to insure peace and guarantee tin- birth
right freedom of mankind.
During the weeks passing since the- senate obj.-ctors first raised their
League acceptance. W have heard that Senator So and So declared tiro

The i ulf has Im-cii that the questions of "What I the League'.’:’ and
"What are the objections against. It?” have grown to be decidedly puzzling

of the Mftndusky (Ohio) I legist or.
Before proceeding farther n desired t.» call attention to the fact tlint,
although the senate and numerous publicists have been Invelgliing against
tho League since copies of tho covenant were received in America early in
•July, and have poured forth torrents or abuse during the Interval, even large
end important newspapers like the Iteglstcr yere unable to discern the
character of the anti-league arguments with sutliclcnt clarity to publish them
until close to the middle of September .Ml «.f which seems to Justify the
wuggestlon of the* Nugget weeks ago that not even tlie opponents of the l.cngue
appeared to know exactly what they were driving at and apparently possessed
no clearly defined basis of argumebt regarding their own objections.
ft Js also desirable to call the attention of the reader to tin- necessity
of keeping In mind while reading the- objections that the league covenant
provides that tho functions of the organization shall tie administered under
the direction of an Assembly and Council consisting of the representatives
of the principal Allied and associated powers signatory to the League and its
decisions shall he effective only by unanimous agreement of all the members
present. This is essential to a. pro|»er understanding of the ant I-League
contentions, which arc as follows:
1. Tig- Shantung provision Is international' piracy, bringing dishonor
to any nation party to it,
2. Croat Britain Is given (through her self governing dominions and
colonies) six votes to America’s one, without Justification in reason.
2. By entering the league, America would abandon tier traditional
policy of non-Interference In European affairs,
4. The .Monroe Doctrine would he subject to Interpretation by the
league council, as asserted by British officials without contradict Ion
'»■ Tho United Htatcs would be bound to maintain armies In Europe
to regulate purely European •affairs.
fi. Our constitutional provision that congress shall have power to
raise armies would he violated,
7. Do/ncstic questions, such as Immigration, tariff, and coast wise
trade, will come within tho Jurisdiction of the league If the foreign council
so decides.
#• Insignificant nations, like Liberia, Hedjaz, would liavo voting power
in the assembly equal with the United States,
9. Tho United States would bo bound to preserve the territorial In
tegrity and political Independence of every member of tin- league, many of
them monarchies,
10. By bringing the charge that It involves a threat of war, any
nation could require the United States to submit any question to the league
for decision.
11. Article 22 requiring free transit and equitable treatment of com*
mere® could ho construed to forbid protective tariffs,
12. America, Industrially nnd financially strong, would income th^
burden-bearer of the world.
13. Tho league covenant obligates the United States to give full and
flunk Information concerning Industries adaptable to warlike purposes, tho#!
putting American Industry at a disadvantage, since tnobt Important Industries!
are of such character,
14. America has nothing to guin and much to lose by entering thij
league, j
