THE BLUE AND GOLD. '17. FRANCES SCHNOTALA High School Chorus Advertisement Solicitor—Blue and Gold "Fun did you says? Shall be right there" "For she's a real live wire for fair" HAROLD STARK "Shorty" Gold Favorite Sport—Chewing gum German Club Declamation '15 Science Club 1913-14, 1914-15 Class Orator "A rare compound of jollity, frolic and fun" Has anything of diplomatic nature ever been accomplished without the fear of the force that would be used should such be rejected? No. The mere stopping of all imports can never be as great as physical force. Morever, if economic force were used entirely one nation alone might have to bear the total loss of its trade by being unable to sell its commodities elsewhere. Military force would make the war of shorter duration, while with economic force it would tend to drag along perhaps for years as is shown by England's early attempt to starve Germany into submission. The present conflict across the ocean proves conclusively that economic pressure is of no avail, unless military pressure accompanies it. Wars are begun too suddenly now a days to be stopped by economic force alone. International law at the present time has been called by some of the leading powers "A mere scrap of paper" and is therefore useless unless force stands back of it. No nation, however rash, will attempt to begin war. knowing that the league will fight against it with overwhelming forces. And, too, by the use of military force no one nation alone will suffer, but all will be obliged to bear it equally, unless the nation upon which war is being waged is fully prepared to cope with all circumstances as would be the case if Mexico declared war on the United States. Some peace cryers ask why this league should need more force than the Supreme Court of the United States needs to make the states accept its decrees? The league has no more force than the Supreme Court of the United States. Although it has never happened, let us suppose that a state refused to abide by a decision from cur final court of appeal. What would be the result? Would the government of the United States let is go unchallenged ? Would the government of the United States let it go tin-challenged? Would the other states stand by and let it have its own way? No. The entire economic and military forces of the United States would be used if necessary, to uphold the decree and each state would willingly contribute its quota of men and other necessities. Many important questions will have to be decided upon after the league is formed. It will naturally be crude and inadequate at the beginning, yet it can be revised and altered until it will to use the words of the historian Freeman General and Business Manager—Blue
