 Following these speakers, Hon. WhiteIaw Reid delivered the address to the graduating class. taking for his subject, Changing Aspects Of Some Old Points in Public Policy and Inter- national Law" The speaker dwelt at length upon the Monroe doctrine and upon the treatment of anarchy and anarchists.
 MT Reid opened by paying tribute to Dean Wayland and expressed the hope that the retiring dean would have | a long period of enjoyment and unbrok- en rest. He exhorted the members of the graduating class to practice the pro- fession and not the trade of law. He said it would be far better to fall short on the upward, shining professional path than race to the front in the down. ward road of the trade. He discussed the Monroe doctrine and its application to present conditions in the American sphere of endeavor and said that we may find it to our interest to not apply | it too stringently, but nevertheless as | long as European nations opposed it | the American people would stand for 1 it's strictest enforcement to a man. He l showed where the United States was at | a disadvantage in its treaty clauses re- lating to extradition, and said if the as-
 
 to Canada, England would not under in- ternational law be obliged to surrender I him to this government although he had | no doubt she would do so as an act of comity and good will to this gvern- | ment.
 1 In conclusion he considered the doc- | Urine about anarchy. He said: If in | this country what I have termed the | commonplaces of the subject have not overrun your approval. you will then | be ready to regard it as imperative on 1 the United States. as a first step and I at an early day, to free every extradi- ! tion treaty it has with any other nation l from their present protection under the guise of mere political offenders for the
 assassins of heads of government. You will be apt. I think. to go farther. and i approach at least the views jointly ex- pressed to us in the December following l the assassination of President McKin- ley by the governments of Germany l and Russia. They thought this, with 1 previous anarchistic crimes and at- | tempts upon the lives of chief magis- 1 trates, rendered it terribly evident that a struggle against the menace of an- archy is an urgent necessity for all gov- | ernments. They accordingly proposed ! concert oe action in measures to check 1 the anarchistic movement, the strength ] ening of the penal code against anarch- ] ists, and particularly the expulsion of | anarchists from countries of which l they are not subjects.
