The opposition to the League of Nations is mocked by its own absurd arguments. Senator Sherman warns it would make the United States a vassal state while Senator Reed fears racial supremacy and Liberia dictating U.S. policy. Critics lack solid basis and risk defeat as pro league forces gain ground.
The United States Senate demands an official copy of the proposed peace treaty but is unlikely to receive it promptly. Delegates from American and other Allied powers reportedly vow not to publish the full text until Germany signs. Abstracts have circulated, yet the Senate remains uncalled to act until a final treaty exists.
The piece argues that once a treaty is signed there will be ample time for the Senate to read consider and debate it. It notes changes are being made to the draft in response to German counter proposals and that any copy now before the Senate would be tentative awaiting final agreement by Germany.
Opponents push referendums in ten states where legislatures ratified the prohibition amendment. If all ten reject ratification, 35 of 50 states would oppose it, but passage would still stand per constitutional practice. Wets contend legislatures misrepresented the people.
The passage argues that government control of railroads and telegraphy performed poorly during war times, with waste and higher costs. It notes a national relief as private ownership resumes, while questioning if peace-time government operation could succeed and stating that the wartime test was not fully conclusive.
A U S senator opponents argue the league would place the United States under minority rule while European powers dominate votes. Proponents insist a truly representative league requires every nation, making universal minority status inevitable and preventing U S domination or dictation.
The article argues that uniting all European nations is impractical and that the United States plus other non European powers will hold decisive influence in European matters. It foresees representatives chosen for the league as wise just and prudent and unlikely to provoke the United States or push it to withdraw.
A letter argues for harsher citizenship standards across states. It notes varying state practices allowing declaration of intent to vote and other rights before full citizenship. It cites wartime experiences of men withdrawing applications to avoid military service and urges barring such individuals from citizenship. It stresses duties accompany rights and calls for future uniform, stricter laws nationwide.
Berlin newspapers claim 198 submarines sunk, 3000 sailors died, and thousands more driven to asylums by war. As the end neared, German manpower for subs was scarce, and Lusitania victims were not entirely unavenged.
In an American Review of Reviews article the Boy Scouts are praised for raising funds in the first four Liberty loans. They collected nearly two million in scriptions and over 300000 dollars, a feat noted for its difficulty as they were asked to comb ground already searched.
Time notes about 10 million boys of Scouting age in the country with 400,000 in early drives. They helped fund war loans and savings, supplied 20 758 660 board feet of walnut for the war department, delivered over 100 carloads of nitric acid pits for gas masks, planted 12 000 war gardens, and distributed 30 million pieces of literature. The movement backed Red Cross and other agencies, earning broad respect despite wartime distractions.
