IRRECONCILABLES' VIEW OF BOK PLAN CONDEMNED

"The threat of the Congressional irreconcilables to prevent official consideration of the Bok Peace Prize Plan cannot be too strongly condemned," said Mr. Joseph E. Warner '06 in an interview recently with a CRIMSON reporter. Mr. Warner is the Assistant Attorney-General of Massachusetts.

"The arguments presented for the adoption of the Bok plan," he continued, "appear irresistible to me. The provision that the United States should accept no obligations under the Treaty of Versailles except by Act of Congress is an adequate safeguard to national sovereignty, and the elimination of Articles X and XVI from the Covenant ought to satisfy those who object to any Wilson measure no matter how desirable. This change makes it no longer a Wilson league. If there is to be any organization of nations at all, this one seems to be the best.

"Presumably those who oppose the plan do so in good faith, but they fail to appreciate the gravity of the situation, and from the enthusiastic reception of the plan it appears also that they do not represent the opinions of their constituents."

Attorney, Warner did not believe that the opposition to the plan arises mainly from party prejudices, although he admitted that these might enter into the situation. He pointed out that both Democrats and Republicans have been listed among the League's opponents.

"I should be inclined to blame the people more than their representatives," he said. "At any rate in the next election the people must choose men who will support the Bok plan or some other similar one."
