PEKDIA .\' E N T PEACE.

One of tlheobjects of the League of Nations was to ensure the future peace of the world, to. guard against the possibility of any nation ever again disturbing international peace as Germany had done in 1914, For carrying out this obyect a clause, Article Ten, was inserted in the League Cov- enant with the consent of all the signatory powers, providing that “the members of "the League under- take to respect and preserve as again-st external ag- gression the territorial integrity and existing polit- ical independence of all members of the League.” What action the members of the League were to take, collectively or individually was to be determin- cd by the League Council.

It will be remembered that the United States strenuously opposed the adoption of the treaty, chief ly because of Article Ten, ‘and proposed among other reservations that “The United States assumes no ob ligations to preserve the territorial integrity or po- litical independence of any other country or to interl fere in controversies between nations, whether mem bers of the League or not, under the provisions of Article Ten, or to employ the military or naval for- ces of the United States under any article of the treaty, for any purpose unless in any particular case ‘the Congress which under the constitution has the sole power to declare W31‘ or authorize ‘the employ- ment of the military or naval forces 01' the United States shall by act or joint resolution so provide." Our despatches of the past few days intimated that Honorable Mr. Doherty, representing Canada at the session of the League Assembly in Geneva, has moved for the elimination of Article Ten, taking practically the same view of it as was taken by the United States. In this stan dMr. Doherty and his fel- low Canadian delegates, Sir George Foster and Hon W. N. Rowell, have the Canadian Government be- hind them. Ex Premier Borden in a statement issued the other day and which appeared in our telegrams, explains the objections to Article Ten, objections which were made by him after consultation with his colleagues in a memorandum dated March 14_ 1919 suggesting certain changes which would obviate the necessity of nations becoming involved in the qtiar- rels of other nations.

How, under the circumstances, is the peace of the world to be maintained? Clearly other nations, like Canada, have no desire to tie themselves up in .unconditional obligations to take part in interna- tional wars, yet the world must be policed; na- tions as well as individuals, need not only watching but compulsion to keep them within bounds, and if the ilations object to doing police duty then an in- ternational police force must be provided.

‘In a recent Geneva despatch it was stated that

lnent of an international military and naval force to act under the direction of an international coun- cil~ This would appear to be the only way out of the élilllﬁclulty ifthe dream of perpetual peace is to be ful- l i e . ‘ l In the meantime the matter of eliminating Ar- ticle Ten has been postponed till the next session of the Assembly.

A FA IR DEA L.

In yesterdays Guardian appeared a letter over the signature “A Pair Deal,” in which some phases of the fox industry were freely aired. In this letter the writer touched a sore spot. Like many others he was unfortunate in his deals and _'he had invested heavily. Like many others also he, probably, did his shareholders duty by prdxy, leaving the business in the hands of directors and it is well known that the fabulous expectations in the fox business drew many “directors" into it who knew nothing or next to nothing about business. The result was failure.

It is quite possible also that some directors in order t0 save themselves sacrificed their shareholders. There were honest and unavoidable failures just as there have been in all other lines of business but the fault was with either the “luck” or with the manage ment, not with the business-

capable business men was and is a phenomenal suc- cess; when otherwise managed it was a phenomenal failure, swallowing up the hard earned savings of many innocent and confiding men and women.

One of the faults in the fox business was in plac

ing it in the hands of incapable men. The

n’ shareholders wereto blame in this. Another was and

still is the want of authoritative and reliable super- vision of the whole industry, such supervision as

should be given by the Fox Breeders’ Association or

by a competent government inspector whose duty it would be to see that in the first place the company

ter, year by year, conducted on business principles.

i Every failure in the fox business through any cause

has been. a black eye to the industry and unless steps are "taken to ensure that all companies accept- ing money from the public are being conducted hon-. estly and on sound business principles, losses will continue and public confidence in the industry-will be wanting.

Prince Edward Island owes much to the fox busi- ness, and the business isentitled to the best care that can be lavished upon it. ‘The principal care needed at present 1_s such safeguard as will assure the pub- lic that it lS free from sharks and gamblers.
