- C THE STANFORD WORLD PROBLEMS FACING STRICKEN WORLD Shall Chaos or Reconstruction in Europe Follow the Great World War? HOPE FOR PERMANENT PEACE Those Who Fought, and Those Who Suffered at Home, Alike Favor Some Form of a League of Nations. Article X. By FRANK COMERFORD. Europe was succumbing to exitaus- tittit when the war came to an end. The terrible waste was telling. En- durance had reached the breaking point. With peace one thought ran around the world: There must be no more W a r. The men who did the fight- ing said it loudest. \I'm glad 1 had a chance to do my part -1 wouldn't have missed the 'show' for a million dollars, and I wouldn't take a million dollars to go through it again,\ Is the way they put it. Everywhere In Europe I heard, \It Is over, it Is finished, thank God.\ The first thought of reconstruction was a plan to make peace permanent. lalooratory and the machine shop gave to this war a terrible mean- ing, new agencies had been Intro- duced to kill and maim men, liquid lire, mustard gas, high explosives. bombs from the clouds, torpedoes from the sea depths. The world was hor- rified. The length of the war, the number of dead and crippled, the raid- ing and bombing of defenseless cities taught the World that nto end must I' put to war If civilization was to It V1. So the people. particularly the work- ing ',torte. took hetirt when a League of Nations was suggested as a menus ut enforciog peace. They placed their hopes in it. They hail suffered most front the war. The dead were large- ly the= r dread. The returning Cripples were blood If their blood. As they put tt, they were from their class. Of course the SMIS of the other class fought. shit red the Minh:hips. paid the price, but they were few. The group from whi ell they came is small, while the toll of casualties from labor's ranks was large. All men know that controversiee bet Ween hal Inns are Inevitable. 1111 the idiseece of some scheme of arbi- tration there is but tine way that these controversies can be settled. It Is force—War. It Is not lineommon for Individuals to have serious differences of opinion. Every In and there are thousands of them In every city of every country, represents a difference of opinion. If we did not have courts providing a peaceful determination of these dis- putes, the litigants would be com- pelled to settle their differences by force. Assault and battery would succeed orderly procedure. Nations have been without a peaceful means of adjusting their difficulties, nod as a consequence they have been com- pelled to resort to force. Until some scheme of arbitration is created, to talk peace Is to waste words, to hope for it is idle dreaming. Peace Conference . Fell Short. The peace conferapce met in Paris. Labor watched it. At an early stage In its proceedings Intrigue was dis- covered at work. Wrangling. bicker- ing, bargaining and trading for com- mercial advantage occupied the time and thought that the world expected would be devoted to the building up of a league that would at least decrease the chances of future wars,. States- men In their blind devotion to ex- pediency lost sight of the great rea- son for the conference. They talked of boundary tines, discussed frontiers, and always from the point of view of financial and military advantage to their respective countries. It was no- ticed that the territories over which they quarreled were rich in minerals or some other thing of great commer- cial advantage. They squabbled over spoils. Them too, these men who were supposed to be concerned in the future peace of the world, In arguing over frontiers surged their respective claims on the grounds that their re- spective countries needed these fron- tiers to make them secure In future wars. What future wars and why the discussion of future wars at a confer- ence, the object of which was future peace? Working men watched, listened and thought. They construed these hick- erings and wranglings as evidence of the fact that there is an interest in the world which does not believe in giving up force. I am only reporting • the truth when Ladd'they suspect this .Interest Is Capital.• If the League of Nations falls this suspicion will be confirmed. The . movement toward an Internationalism of the Avorkers will be given great Impetus. The League of Nations fail- ing, they argue there is only one other means of preventing war. It Is for the men who make up the rank and file of the armies In time of war, the millions recruited from shops, fac- tories and fields. to get together and organize an international labor au- thority to save the working men from war. Such a •movement would take stray from governments an Important ail necessary function and give to one class in the world a power so great that political governments would be puppets in their hands, and yet In the light of the happenings of the last five years labor could not be blamed. The world is entitled to protection against such slaughter as we have just gone through, and if the political gov- ernments full to take the necessarss steps the plain people will. World Now Closely Knit. Internationalism is corning—In fact It Is already here. Inventions have brought the people of the world close together. The wireless and the cable give us the happenings of remote parts of the world in a few hours. Distance has been destroyed. We are becom- ing neighbors In knowledge of each other, whether we live on the same continent or not. Modern transporta- tion Is shortening the time between places. An Mr service is In prospect which promises to make London as near New York tomorrow as Chicago is today. We already have a successful inter- nationalisito in finance end credits. Big business long ttgo obliterated national lines. The commerce of the world is already organized internationally. '1'111- important question at this time is what form will the new internation- take? Will it be an internation- alism of organized dollars? If so. the world is iii serious danger of a finan- cial autocracy. Will It be an inter- national.sta of organized labor? If this Inipllens it menus the dictatorship ot the proletariat. IS0111 are equally undesirable. No part of the people should be permitted to enforce their will upon the rest. One kind of slav- ery Is as bad as another. The great majority of the human race wants freedom, not advantage. It is not am- bitious to dictute—It will not be dic- tated to. A League of Nations Is the solution. It Is a union of the unit Ions of the world, and its the nations of the world represent all the people of the vacuums states such it combination Is demo- cratic. That it is necessary Is plain. Rivalry for markets, com- petition for trade, are liounti to lead to war unless we have an agree- noent that these and other problems will bo r . ailmoitted to arbitration. It Is not necessary to submit questions involving national honor. Few of such questions' ever direetly provoke war. It Is when nations lighting each other for markets reach a point of positive disagreemont that they begin calling each other names. These insults wound honor. war results. Peace Table Proves Worth. A League of Nations is a continu- ance of the peace table, and notwith- stntaling the wranglings of the pres- ent peace table there would have been war in Europe before this If it was not sitting in Paris. Two cases serve to illustrate. The coal fields of upper Galicia, to be determined by n plebi- scite between Politial and Gerniatty would have been a cause of war if the peace table was not Ito existence. Poland had troops on the border. Ger- many had her soldiers at the frontier. One thing, and one thing alone, pre- vented war—it was the fear of the pence table. The same facts de- scribed the controversy between Po- land and Czecho-Slovakia; war has been avoided by the peace table sub- mitting the Teschen question to a vote of the people of the territory. No League , of Nations will have much effect upon the futtire peace of Europe which tines not Include the United States. The nations of Europe do not trust each other. Every one respects the fact that the United States does not seek territory in Eu- rope. This gives our country the commanding place as the one disin- terested power In the world. , With Ibis tnoral force we can do much to maintain the pence - of the world. The propaganda of revolution com- ing out of hoishevlk Russia. urging the workers to organize an international thetatorship of the proletariat anti seize the world, is not nearly as dan- gerous to the peace of the world as the political heckling against the League of Nations. (CopyrIght, 1920, Weatern Newspaper Union) TAXES IN GERMANY HEAVY Individuals Are Beginning to Feel That Country Really Suffered Defeat In the War. The Individual German has not be- gun to feel the peace terms, finan- cially, During the war the Germans have been loaning their money to the gov- ernment. This year they have begun to give it. There Is an estate tax graduated as to size and as to relationship. It im- poses the heaviest tax on the largest inheritance from the most distant rel- ative. A peculiar feature of this law, lllu- truuting its severity. Is a provision that in no case may the tax exceed the amount of the inheritance taxed. No mean cousin can leave \spite money\ which would compel the recipient to pay more than he got, anyhow. An income tax ranges to about - 70 per cent as the Income grows. There is a profits tax and a heavy tax on wealth increases during the war—to get the profiteers—the usual GM'S for revenue, heavier than ever, and a capital levy is being considered. With food, coal and clothing short, they mire bound to add to the discon- tent. Agitators will make the most of the crisis. But Germany has weathered two crises as serious: In the most difficult months just after the surrender a year ago; and the peace conference period, when she woke up, as loser, to this termS.

An Englishman bought an upright piano at an auction sale 25 years ago for $80. It was, of course, second- hand. For a time it was used in a provincial kindergarten. It went to London and had constant use. When the war broke out It retired to n re- pository and did not see the light again until last month. Last month a maker of pianos called to see it. and offered $150 for it. The next day it ttiuuu svhi • OVerhallled it said he could get $ .2: - At for it cash o down.
