that they can command. It is proposed that everyone-business meh, bankers,

inges, labourers should be placed on farmers, chemists, women, mechanics, the same pay as the serving soldier, and be directed to the work or duty for which they are best attel.-

While Americs still remains 'sieof from League of Nations activitias, fur the pre

a new plan has been vention of war proposed in that country and has reeciv ed influential backing. Briefly it is pro poard that in the event of a declaration of war by the United States of America It is proposed to create a great against any other. Fower or group of anisation beforehand, in order that Powers, not only shall the whole of the this plan may be put into operation as men of military ago be made immed-soon as may be if the country is involved iately available for the armed forces of in hostilities. the Republic, but also all persons, irres- pective of age or sex, calling or pro- fession, wealth or poverty, be made available for the service of the State by conscription, together with their pro- perty, machinery, and all means of pro- ducing wealth food, or manufactured

goods.

This proposal has got the length of being drafted as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America in the following terms:-

This project is being seriously considered by all manner of and societies in the United States, and it finds favour from two en tirely different standpoints. In the first place, it is claimed that if this amend- ment becomes part of the constitution the mass of the people will think twice before they advocate hostilities or a said that if the profits of war are re- policy which might lend to war. It is

moved arist if everyone in the country knows that war will probably make them poorer find that they will be personally involved in it, they will be deääitely con.

In the event of a declaration of war, the property, equally with the persoris,verted to the love of peace. lives, and liberties of all citizens shal he subject to conscription for the der fence of the nation, and it shall be the duty of the President to propose and of Congress to enact the legislation necessary to give effect to this amend-

ment

It will be brought before Congress at its next session.

PLEBISCITE RESULT

I

IF THE PLAN GOES THROUGH. In Europe, with the danger of air attack ever present in all countries, with the posible exception of the more re- mote parts of Russia. this particular in- centire for pence is perhaps not so pr gently required. But for some years to come the United States will be compara tively cure against air attack on any considerable scale, and the so-called "Mositer " Peace Plan may therefore be expected to take its place.

The lead in this campaign has been taken by a great American newspaper, theChristian Science Monitor," which has conducted a newspaper plebiscite showing an enormous majority in favour of the plan. It has the support of the American Legion of Ex-Service Men, of many of the most important leaders of organised labour, of leading bankers, financiers and business men," of officers of the Army and Navy, and many politicians, and publicista. This plan, Although it has received little attention in this country, has created considerable interest in France, and has received a large degree of support. Should the American people adopt it and the amend-generaly understood in this country that ment to the Constitution be passed, it will constitute an event of world import

Secondly, another school of advocates | of this plan declare that the country adoptag it will add greatly to its efficiency and become invincible and irresistible in war. It will obviously be a great advantage from the purely mili įtary point of view if the whole" of the resource of the State can immediately be called upon as well as the man power.

...

The arguments in its favour are that it is unfair that only the fighting men should be subject to conscription or the draft, and that those who escape the draft through age, sex, or any other reason, should be able to profiteer in war time, either by the demand for the goods they manufacture, or by the high wages

Time laid its hand heavily upon the picturesque cottage by the roadside. The roof sagged in; great cracks appear- ed in the walls, and at last it had to be demolished.

This was man's cellar, and the casks which lined its walls were filled with the humble English wines and with that dethroned king of England-home-brewed beer.
