means of all issues arising be-
tween nations But they are
substantial step forward
They are an unambitious plan
to settle as many questions as
possible by arbitration or medi-
ation They illustrate the spirit
of those who drafted this
covenant and their sensible de-
sire not to attempt more till
after actual experience
Covenant Restraining War
' The next covenant is that
the nations shall not begin
war until three months after
the arbitration award or the
recommendation of compromise
and not then if the defendant
nation against whom the award
or recommendation has been
made shall comply with it This
is the great restrain of war
imposed by the covenant upon
members of the league and non-
members It is said that this
would prevent our resistance
to a border raid of Mexico or
self-defence against any invas"
ion This is a most extreme
construction If a nation re-
fuses submission at all as it
does when ' it begins an attack
the nation attacked is released
instnnter from its obligation to
submit and is restored to the
complete power of self-defence
Had this obection not been
raised in the Senate one would
not have deemed it necessary
to answer so unwarranted a
suggestion
Compliance or Non-Compliance
If the defendant nation roes
not comply with the award or
unanimous report then the
plaintiff nation can begin war
and carry out such complete
remedy as the cricumstances
enable it to do But if the de-
fendant nation does comply
with the award or unanimous
report then the plaintiff na-
tion must be content with such
compliance It runs the risk
of not getting all that it
thought it ought to have or
might by war but as it is ask-
ing affirmative relief it must
be seeking some less vital in-
terest than its political inde-
nendence or territorial integri-
ty and the limitation is not
one which can be dangerous to
its sovereignty
Penalizing-Boyoctting
The third covenant the pen-
alizing covenant is that if a
nation begins war in violation
of its covenant then ipso facto
that1 is an act of war against
6Very member of the league of
nations and the members of
the league are required defin-
itely and distinctly to levy a
boycott on the covenant-break"
ing nation and to cut off from
it all commercial trade finan-
cial personal and official re-
lations between them and their
citizens and it and its citizens
Indeed the boycott is com-
pound or secondary in that it
is directed against any non-
members of the league con-
tinuing to deal with the outlaw
nation This is an obligation
operative at once on each mem-
ber of the league With us the
executive council would report
the violation of the covenant to
the President and that would
be reporter to Congress and
congress would then by reason
of the covenant of 1 the league
be under an honorable legal
and moral obligation to levy an
embargo and prevent all inter-
course of every kind between
this nation and the covenant-
breaking nation
The extent of this penalty
and its heavy withering effect
when the hostile action in-
cludes all members of the
league as well as all non-members'
may be easily appreci-
ated The prospect of such an
isolation would be likely to
frighten any member of the
league from a reckless viola-
tion of its covenant to begin
war It is inconceivable that
any small nation dependent as
it must be on larger nations
for its trade and sustenance
indeed for its food and raw
material would for a moment
court such a destructive ostra-
cism as this would be
Other covenants of the pen"
alizing article impose on the
Senator Warren K Snvder
Democrat from Oklahoma
county in a recent statement
in the senate said: “I warn
vou that our appropriations
are going to be so great that
we will he ashamed to face our
constituents when we go home
The gopher and the ground
hog will be kinvlv animals
compared to us when we get
through passing appropriations
here” When appropriations
become so huge that Senator
I Snvder - yelns thev have
climbed to heights indeed
