Will Injure Permanriit Peaie fPHK fabric of n vision has nssiimeil n new texture in the unanimous resolu tion of the Paris Conference to establish a leajjue of nations. The transfora tion fortifies idealistic hopes nnd nt the same time provokes the unuasy spirit of inquiry unnvvakened while the finite mind of man dallied with dream stuff. When Mr. Wilson on .limitary 8. 11118. piopused "a general association of na tions under specific covenants, for the purpose of it If online mutual HuaiatilPcs of polituul independence anil tetritor.nl intcguty to cieat and small States alike." piactical action upon that MKniricant "Fourteenth Point" seemed indeed far distant. The imagination could then dwell delightedly on n picture of international comity unsullied by any of the ills to which mankind is heir. But the breathless peed with winch as piuitiuus have taken on the color of practical necessity introduces new ele ments into the frcene. January 'J.". Ill 10. will ho memorable as the day on which civilization sought to tfive mundane vitality to an ideal. Never in history has so vast an entei prise been attempted with .uch alert self-consciousnes. This attitude will make foi criticism ami this should prove salutary, since it i desirable that each link inserted in the league of nations machinery be bub jeetrd to the niu-t searching inspection. In thi-. way remediable weaknesses may bo eliminated at the outset. It is the part of saiiitv, however, to acknowledge that whatevti ftamevvoik is set up can not attain that perfection so easily ac corded to it while the subject was meiely speculative-. Shoit of the millennium, the world cannot, be expected to ieiister a 100 per cent virtue. It is, however, the rare nood fortune of the intei national movement, for bet teiniont thai it .s inspued much less by lomantic and v'Monaiy sentiment than by an impel ative need for peimanent peaceful adjustment. This is the evpla nntion of the tiemendous involution which has converted a dream into the possible pi elude of a reality. i It o happens that nleali-tie laniruaite may uelu-ivrly flatter the stops that j hit' e been taken to fium an international i partnership, which shall icltuke the as I sumption of autocratic power and lender remote the rerun enre of wat. Selfish , interest has actuali;. been ihe far more I potent instrument and thetein be., the 1 true strength of the whole peiformance. Organized on a competitive militaristic basis, the world baiely m.ssed destruc tion. Plodded by in-gen' necessity, it is I resolved to expei iment vv nil a new order, i The theme has aken pre-edertt-o over , the fotmulation of the terms to be im , pocd on (iiimun.v Im cause it ttansceuds ' that subject in piactica1 iinpoitance. i Recognition of this status uy ihe Pan confttiees is the most gratifying iv dunce thus far levealed that :ne ate heeding . i in average human being's desire Mr. ' Wilson calls it "mandate" -for a recon 1 struction of the vvoild on the most mil tualiy beneficial basi-. The necessaiy 1 admission that man -and hence the gov eminent delegated to lepre-ent him s fallible should be an antidote f(,i , may if some of the vni'ioua specific "et- i tlementu" at Paiis piovo to be faulty. "Peimanent proe-esse," however, may ' ii-Msonably be chaired.

Hit ter as the alternative would be, tho United States would be foiced to accept tlie burden of competitive armament and isolation i( any association of the nations piesumlng to be a league of tho many should turn out to be the league, of the few. It .s vvll to face so distasteful a pros- ! EVENING PUBLIC LEDGRV poet -without Illusions, because such an attitude may be n spur to vigilance in a world clrnmn teplete with climaxes. On the other hand, wniinees need in no es scntinl degree compromise optimism. The mass of mankind will bear the most hopeful soil of watching. "The plain people," not "tlio select classes," have won for the league-of-nations concept once a "dream" a foiemost position In the reconstruction sessions. 77tr plain people mny be nimpieioiisly relied upon to in.tiyl that the r-mcntial nrrurhtre vf the vvn ni'tcliitury is bona fide. Already it is intimated that the "Greut Powers" ale plnnning to reconsider the decision that the small nations shall have among them only five members on the various important commissions. This is a most heartening index of the kind of pressure with which any questionable coteries in Paris will have to contend. The world, foi all its imperfections, has lesolved to establish a new order, just as the States of Xoith America tle tei mined, in the fHco. of formidable diffi culties, lo reoiganize their particular section of the globe when they designed the Constitution. That document even tually disclosed defects, notably empha sized duiing the Civil War. but in the main it was and is a practical and tnspn ing instrument of peace and order on this continent. Its piime virtue was its L-uneeption in the right sniiit. The league of nations will succeed if its vital nature is similarly honest. The fine words accompanying the inaugural steps toward Us formation must be ac companied with fair motives to justify the titanic experiment which for the fiist time in the annals of the world the pie ponderating majority of its peoples pas sionately long to make.
