HE withdrawal of the United States from the Peace T Conference means that the republic to the south is falling back into the place from which she emerged during the war. Previous to the war the United States would have nothing to do with European quarrels and lived within herself to a marked degree in a political sense. Before the war it was customary for the Pres!- dent to stay within the oundary limits of the Unied Sates during his term of office. This custom was ob- served so strictly that many were of the opinion that it was the law of the land. But the war brought many changes in the United States. President Wilson endeared himself to the pwo- ples of foreign countries by throwing aside old preju- dices and old customs. His visit to France and England was an unprecedented procedure for a President of the United States. Those visits still further endeared him tu the people of those countries, and his reception upon those occasions will go down in history as outstanding events of the century. The League of Nations idea was President Wilson's, and almost from the time of the entry of the United Staets into the war to a recent session of the Peace Con- B. C. TELEPHONE CO.

But. it does mean that the League of Nations as first proposed has, for the present, failed to reach the goal. It means that nearly every nation except the United States will enter the League, will probably be just as strong without that re- public. If such a League is not formed it will mean that the old system of forming alliances will be revived, and each country’ will take what steps seems best to protect itself. ‘But here will be a difference. The alliances will be formed for strictly défensive purposes.

Statesmen of various powers have voiced their re-i gret at the withdrawal of the United States from the’ Peace negotiations, and are still hopeful that the re public to the south will ultimately become a member of the League of Nations. There is good ground for this hope, because it is more to the advantage of the United States to be in the League than out of it. The influ- | ence she could bring to bear upon the councils of the League would be tremendous, in case there was a dls | position on the part of sume power to create trouble.

SUPPORT THE COMMITTEES. OR the few remaining days of the present vear, and F until January 14, 1920, various committees will endeavor to raise $300 in cash for the purpuse of pay- ing the balance due on the War Memorial Athletic Park and Playground for children. These men and women are performing a service of vital interest to the citizens of Sidney and district, and it is hoped that the public will give them every support. The two committees which had charge of the May 24 and July 1 celebrations have joined forces and will stage various entertainments for the purpose stated. Other citizens have volunteered their services, and sev- eral new committees have been formed, the members of which will assist in the laudable undertaking. Everyyne who has the interest of Sidney and district at heart Rre very enthusiastic over the prospect of se- curing ali Athletic Park and Playground, as It Is some- thing w ich ts badly needed H For the purpose of assisting in raising funds to finance the building of a War Memorial Hall on the Athletic Park and Playground, the Sidney Ama- teur Athletic Association will endeavor to raise $1,000 by July 2, 1920.
