stItutional from lawyer's peint of view.
He said its principles were undsrmiped
by the Interstate commerce law. which
1t violated. To enforce the new law liter
ally, would prevent the existence OF corr
porations, partnerships, psrhaps even
agencies in Texas. II similar laws we're
enforced many states would bs building
Chinese walls around their territory oof.
trary to the principles OF the union,
which recognized tho right of free inter-
state intercourse both personal aud oDn-
mercial. The blow to kill trusts must be
open, manly and oonsonant with iuteg-
rity. 1t must he struck by the national
government. Congress-, perhaps c0ulu take
drastic measures and forbid interstate
transportation OF goods, manufactured ly
trusts as against the public policy. IL Is

The Hague, July s5.--s'I have seen the
American delegates and thsy talked FREQ
" about the conferences but refused TO
make statement nbont the result before
the conference rises. The following, how
ever. may be accepted az fairly accurate
summary Of the views they entertain:
'sThe conference achieved great suc-
cess-muoh greater than the delegates
anticipated--and the result was achieved
largely BY the amour propre of capable
men from all parts Of the world, deter
mined % accomplish something worth
their assembling together.
1.-THE result surprised all Of them and
the magnitude Of the gains is imperfctly
understood even by the conference.
"rhe establishment Of a permanent
court of arbitration ON the American
principle Of revision, plus the French
declaration Of the duty to recommend
disputing powers TO resort TO the arbitra.
tion court rather than to war, represents
vast progress in the evolution OF human
society. The recognition OF the duty to
represent to dIsputants the desirabllity OF
rescrting to the arbitration court entails
no obligation on the Americans iHconsie-
tent with their traditional policy. This

tion signed by the American delegation,
