1.-The references to our Supreme Court
in Mr.. SCOTS address. as an example OF
perfect machine which shows that there
could be established a similar court tor
the settlement OF international disputes
lead me to call your attention To the
fact that almost all over this. land our
courts are under assault.
Unless We turn our attention TO the
procedure in our own country, we VIII
not retain respect for our courts at
So much for the courts.
II cannot agree with Admiral VAIN
wright about the toxic properties OF Iour
battleships a year. but l do agree Win
him that before We have a method OF
settling international disputes by law
We must first have strong executive
with power to enforce the DEGREES OF the
law.
Il believe the time is coming on this
planet when we can do better than
sQuander our treasure and men in mill
tary prowess and the preparation Tor IL:
Before we settle international disputes
want to see this country do away Win
disease ignorance and poverty, and pre-
vent the idle rich from having monop-
oily of the good things OF the world.
Hopes for World Republic.
Il look forward. in fact, to republic
Of the whole world, but in order TO bring
about agreement, with that Utopian re-
suit we must realize that in the last
analysis We can only maintain order by
force.
"As far as the international dispute
about the Panama canal tolls is con-
cerned. the rest of the world is opposed
to us on that question. We cannot SUBJ
NIT that question to an impartial court
because no impartial court could be
formed to try the case. The whole ques-
ton was submitted in our own country
to as fair jury as could possibly be
selected-that is. Congress. The time to
settle that question in any other way
than it has been settled was before Con-
gress acted

Manifests Love of Justice.
Prof. Wrong Of Toronto University de-
clared that there was nothing finer in
history than the course of the United
States in Cuba. The sacrifices made by
the United States, he said. to help that
country walk alone We're a splendid man.
Hesitation of the love Of justice on the
part of the people of the United States.
He said he hoped Canada could play a
part in helping to draw together the
United States and Great Britain on the
question of the Panama Canal tolls
Canada, Prof Wrong said, would never
break her ties with the mother country,
and that this union would but serve to
cement the ties between Great Britain
and the United States.
Great Britain needs support he said,
land it is right that it should come from
us. That is why it is that Canada is
placing three dreadnoughts in the North
sea by the side Of the battleships OF
England"
