International Law Menaced.

The vital necessity for the United
States to uphold international law at
all cost was urged last night bv Elihu
Root, former Secretary of State. and
David Jayne Hill. former ambassador
to Germany. in addressing the opening
session of the society.
Whether the United States" said
Nj. Root. will soon have occasion or
will long have ability or the Will to
maintain the Monroe doctrine lies in
the uncertain future. Whether it will
be necessary for her to act in defense
of the doctrine, or abandon it may
well be determined by the issue of the
present war.
The entire basis of the community
organization of nations upon which
rests the structure of international
law is put at issue in the struggle. The
principles of action upon which the
var was begun involve reputation
II every element of fundamental right
upon which the law of nations rests.
II this view prevails the whole struc-
ure of modern international law will
De without foundation
Mr.. Hill said: When the nation
lights are violated. having no other
edrcss ii is called upon not only in its
own interest. but in the interests OF
law itself, 20 vindicate Them, not mere
by word, but necessarily by action
also. There remains only one course
if international law is to he made more
severance of diplomatic
md commercial relations with a per-
sistent lawbreaker."

tive under the rules. The question,
therefore. is likely to be settled early
In the meantime Senator MARITIME and
other supporters of Gen. Smith are
making every effort to prevail upon
some senator who voted against Smith
Yesterday to move a reconsideration.
Senator MARITIME said that the result
of the vote yesterday was due to a
persistent and unfair campaign against
Gen. Smith.
TT will be a long time before the
District gets another excise commits
sioner as fair as Gen. Smith" he said. :

Gen. Smith will continue his duties as
member of the board until his sue
cessor has been named and qualities.
This is in accordance with the law gov
erning appointments to the board
Concerning the suggestion that eff
fort would be made in the senate 10
bring about reconsideration of his APP
.pointment, Gen. Smith said that he was
entirely in the hands of his friends and
that his record spoke for itself.
Gen. Smith presided over two hear
ings conducted by the excise board to-
day to consider the application of w.
NJ. Drury for the transfer OF the bar
room at 942 Louisiana avenue north
west, from 5. d. Bronson. and the APP
plication of NJ. Schneider, for the trans

The nomination of Gen Robert G.
Smith as member of the District ex-
else board was rejected late yesterday
by the Senate, the vote being 26 to %.
There were ten other senators present,
but paired and unable to vote.
While there has been some talk of
reconsideration of the vote, such a
move could be only in the event that
one of the senators who yesterday
voted against Gen. Smith asks recon
sideration. The opponents of the con-
frmation of Gen. Smith said today that
they did not think there was any prob
against the nomination moving a re-
consideration. They said, too, that even
if there was a reconsideration of the
vote there seemed no chance of Smiths
confii nation. since more of the OPP
ponents of Smith were absent yester-
day than of his supporters.
The rejection of the nomination of
Gen. Smith was recommended by the
Senate District committee, after hear
ings had been held and Gen. Smith
given an opportunity to speak in his
own defense. Gen. Smiths nomination
was reappo;ntment. The opposition
to his continuing in Office grew out OF
an investi cation which was conducted
by special committee of the Senate
at the last session of Congress. That
committee reported that the excise
board, of which Gen. Smith was chair
man. had permitted evasions, If not
violations, of the excise law of the
District and contained a severe repri-
mand. Notwithstanding this report,
however, when Gen. Smiths term eX-
piled President Wilson reappointed
him
Senator Sheppard "Astonished."
Senator Sheppard OF Texas, democrat,
and leader of the prohibition forces
in the Senate, said that he was aston
ished that the President had reap
pointed Smith and announced his deter
mination to fight his confirmation. Sem
ators Jones of Washington. Works OF
California and others also lined up
against Smith. The vote yesterday was
the final round of the fight. it is be-
lieVed.
While the vote on the Smith nomina-
ton was not strictly partisan, some ten
democrats voting against his confrma-
ton. all the republicans present voted
against him except one, Senator Bran
deSee of Connecticut. The vote was
taken following discussion lasting
more than three hours.
Senators Sheppard. Works and Jones
led the attack upon Smith. and he was
defended by Senators MARITIME and
Hughes of New Jersey. Smiths home

and Phelan. democratic members of the
District committee.

the argument with papers on the sub
ject indicated, and at the close of this
portion of the program there followed
4 general discussion from the floor by
members present
Prof. Garner said that 1.-The furnishing
of arms and munitions to belligerents,
it is contended, is contrary not only to
the best standards OF ethical conduct,
but to sound principles of national and
international policies. We are told thai
we have in effect made our country a
party to the war across the ocean. and
that we cannot justify ourselves in that
position by saying that il is allowed
by the laws of neutrality" He said
tue existing rule had the support of
the almost uninterrupted practice of
nations for centuries.
THE larger aspects of neutrality
raised by the question of the sale of
munitions of war by a neutral would
seem to warrant the following conclu-
sions." said Prof. Brown.
Neutrality. like war Itself, is en-
tirely abnormal. 1t is based on neces-
sity. And belligerent interests take
nation tries to remain neutral il finds
it must suffer many restrictions and
heterogeneous of the rights of peace.
IF neutral does not wish to re-
main in humiliating position it must
be prepared to fight in behalf of its
own best interests. If neutral
chooses to fight it-lnust be certain that
ii fights on the side of nterna tional
order and justice. \
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-28
Must Not Be Timid Nation. y

1T is the positive duty of a nation
member of the family of nations
to actively assist in the maintenance
of international order and justice. The
self-respecting nation. capa BILE of vision
and sacrifice and willing to play its
part as world power. will not shrink
from the cost and the dangers of in
tervention. 1Snominious neutrality
will be treated with just contempt as
the refuge of timid, selfish people,
.aithless to their duty as responsible
members of the great community of
na tionS.
Discussion from the floor followed, in
Gregory, Frederic r. Coudert and 9TH
ers took part.
The session convened a. go this aft
ernoon for a discussion Of the rules of
law which should govern the conduct
of submarines with reference to enemy
and neutral merchant vessels and the
conduct of such vessels toward Subma-
rines. Prof. Raleigh c. Minor of the
University OF Virginia read a paper on
the subject.
Tonight at s o'clock the society will
convene again 10 debate the question:
Should the right to establish war
zones on the high seas be recognized,
and what, if any, should be the prOvi-
sions of international law Oh this sub
ject?" Profs. Amos S. Hershey of the
University of Indiana and Francis n.
