International Peace by Coercion Not Likely
to Be Soon Achieved
| By Professor PHILIP MARSHALL BROWN, Princeton University
» w V*WUW^WVV«>Q
IT would seem obvious that world organization is still a subject for
dreamers. The immediate task is of a hard, practical, unalluring sort.
Nations must be brought to understand each other's point of vipw,
and definite agreements concerning their mutual interests and the law
to protect their interests must be entered into. International order and
justice cannot be achieved as readily aa national order and justice.
WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF SO
GREAT AN IDEAL IN OUR OWN DAY AND GENERATION.
There must be no coercion of nations. Whatever law is applied be
tween them must have their free consent. The United States would do
well to be excessively slow to be drawn into such an organization as the
League to Enforce Peace.
While neutrality in any great world war is a humiliating posture and
the sufferings of the rest of the world cannot be a matter of indifference
to any self respecting member of the family of nations, any sweeping pro
posal"advocating a definite and permanent abandonment of neutrality un
der all future contingencies should be prudently declined
Were the United States to accept such a proposal, it would not be
free to deal with a neighborhood problem of the peculiar and intimate
nature of the Mexican problem, BUT WOULD BE COMPELLED TO
SUBMIT TO THE DICTATION OF OTHER NATION'S NOT
PROPERLY INFORMED.

KANSAS ANSWERS THE REV- ,
ENUE ARGUMENT
Arthur 0«1W, Governor.
I* argued bj" tlie liquor inter
ests 'nat the license money derived
from the saloon is of great help in
meeting the expnsesi of the atate,
thus causing a reduction in the tax
rate. The The state tax rate in
prohibition; Kansas is $1.20 per
$1,000—the lowest in the United
States with! two exceptions. (Page
3?6. World Almanac.)
Kansas is one o£ the few states
which has no bonded, indebtedness,
i* will -readily be seen that the
need of revenue from the saloon
has not been felt.
On the basis of property- assess
ed for taxation, Kansas has the
^rea'C't per capita wealth in the
nation—$1,629.CI. (Vol. 1, U. S
Census Report, "Wealth, Debt and
Taxation, 1913.)
P<r capita consumption, of liquoi
in tl.e United States is $21; in
Kansas it is $3.04. This repre
sents a saving to Kansas of $30,
000,('00 ayear, and the money- a-oe*
ir.to gainful investment.
The crime bill i9 our greatest
*>ur<!eu in the United States. Oui
greatest public debt-ma,ker is the
[licensed saloon. In 1901 the rate
o< commitment to prison in the Un
ited ntates was 520. In Kansas
it was only 200. This shows thai
♦ he reduction of crime iq Kansas
makes the need of liquor revenue
little felt.
A red light town is no fit plact
and no safe place for young met
and young women to live. Its in
fluence is degrading even to maturi
men and women. Permitting a fear
ful taucer of this kind to exist in
.my community oarrics with- it a
far more fearful penalty. It en
tails generations of suffering. Its
contamination! ruins thousands ol
inncceut lives. Its human wreck
age fills hospitals, asylums and
graveyards. The blight of it
reaches everywhere in town and
country.
All this that under the license
svstem the community may wring
a oitifully small amount of! revenue
from the doomed women of its red
ligh'—some of them its own d'augh
t°rs. Ca.n there be a more appall
ing,. a more fatuous wickedness?
No, K'if.sag has no need of the sa
loon, its revenue, and the result
ant evite.
ine siiiwus nur= mncu
o" Kanpas City, Kansas, the state's
targes' city, for the first time in
twenty years that municipality! mad<
no debt for current expenses. And
'his without saloon revenue, as its
mayor at that time, U. S. Guyer,
has recorded in a signed state
ment.
The first year the saloons were
effectively1 suppressed! in| Kansas
City, i* is recorded by a former at
torney general of Kansas, that the
cost or public prosecutions, which
♦he pinlic had to bear, fell off $25,
000. Another saving of $25,000
was made by a reduction, ojP the
police force. How muclr was sav
ed t' e merchants in *he better col
lectici of accounts, and how) much
was saved the peopl? in other ways
cannot be estimated.
Kansas is glad and proud to say
'hat is hasi XO NEED OF THE
REVENUE DERIVED FROM THE
LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
