PRESIDENT MAY
SOUND KEY NOTE
FOR END OF WAR

Continued from Page One)
mas independence, Mr. Taft stated
II meant that the United States is un-
der obligation to make war to defend
Panama.
This duty can only be discharged
through the action OF congress in de-
elaring war" he asserted. Does
that deprive congress OF its power to
declare war; 1t seems to me the
question answers itself"
Would Modify Monroe Doctrine.
Under the plan for world peace as
League to Enforce Peace, the United
States might have TO relinquish some
OF its older interpretations OF the
Monroe doctrine in the event OF a
dispute with a European power,
George Wilson, professor OF interna-
tional law at Harvard, declared in his
addre1s. Under peace treaties signed
in recent years, Prof. Wilson said,
such concession will have TO be made.
The United States has, within
recent years" he said become a
party 10 large number OF treaties in
which the high contracting parties
agree that all disputes between them,
Of every nature whatsoever, TO the
settlement OF which previous arbitra-
ton treaties or agreements do not APP
ply in their terms or are not applied
In fact, shall, when diplomatic
methods Of adjustment have failed, be
referred for investigation and report
10 an international commission, and
they agree not to declare war or be-
gin hostilitics during such investiga-
ton and before the report is sub
n1itted.'
PLAINLY therefore the United States
is bound already under these and
other treaties, OF which there are a
large number, to submit disputes in.
volying the Monroe doctrine TO a
body which would meet the require
ments OF the platform OF the League
to Enforce Peace.
May Have to Abandon II.
Further it may be said, il, when in
dispute, the Monroe doctrine as APP
piled by the United States Is not a
policy upon which the United States
is willing 10 await hearing, consider
alton and recommendation. then the
United States has not acted in good
faith in signing these recent treaties.
and 1t may also be said II the Ameri-
can policy as embodied in the Monroe
doctrine will not stand the test OF in
vestigation and consideration il is
time for the United States to be de-
termining why il should longer give
TO the doctrine its support
AS the plan Of the league for SUBJ
mission OF controversies such as might
arise over the Monroe doctrine has,
on the initiative Of the United States,
already been embodied in treaties
with greater part OF the states OF
the world, such plan cannot be re-
garded as impracticable without con
domination Of the judgment OF those
who are in control OF the affairs Of
the world. and this judgment the
League TO Enforce Peace, having the
well being Of the world IN view, does
not criticize and condemn, but sup
ports and commends.'

All Must Have Voice.
IS. II must be program under
which all the international machinery
that Is created will afford a medium
through which all classes Of society
can voice their judgment and register
their demands. We must not delude
ourselves into thinking that the inter
national problem will be solved en-
tirely by the establishment OF an in
ternationaI court along traditional
lines, presided over by lawyers to pass
judgment upon violations OF estab-
lished international law. The fact is
that the real causes OF modern wars
are not so much violations OF estab-
lished law, as they are conflicts
over new problems and new needs
that have not yet become a part OF
international law. So that any ade-
quate international program must in
clude the establishment OF system Of
stated international conferences in
which the representatives OF such
democratic interests as labor and BUSH
ness can present and discuss, not un-
der any established rules OF evidence,
but in the spirit OF impartial exami-
nation those difficulties and differ
enoes that threaten to give rise to
war.
Mr. Gompers declared that insofar
as the program of the League to En-.
force Peace represented an effort to
meet the conditions he had outlined,
it demanded the interest and careful
scrutiny OF every man who had the in
terests of labor at heart. at is not
for me, by word OF mouth, to commit
The laboring men OF America to any
particular program in international az

It for granted that we, ourselves,
have no political creed except the

The Carranza army, the Mexican
public, the entire nation will have to
protest and rise up against the in
suits which all Mexicans suffer in
the name OF our fatherland. History
and the world will take account OF
the patriotism which promises TO call
the invaders to account. To fail in
