The Independent . unal foradjudication; 4. That the Central Powers be invited to join theLeague, and even if they refuse, be compelled to joinin the limitation of armaments. There is no doubt that the Allies are ready to becomepart of a League to Enforce Peace when the war isover. They have said so unequivocally in their reply toPresident Wilsons interrogation. On the other threepropositions they have not yet been heard. Their dis-inclination to agree to them need not be assumed. Inany case the United States should exert to the fullestextent of its power, if it enters the war to fight side byside with them, its influence to secure their adherenceto such a program. That way lies the hope of perma-nent peace. As a great English philosopher once said, Thefirst duty of mankind is peace, the second duty isto fight to get it. The United States must not enterthis war except in execution of this lofty duty. We mustfight only to get peace, universal, durable, guaranteed. CARTOON COMMENT WHAT WE THINK OF GERMANY.
