SENATOR M'CUM8tR
IN NOTABLE ADDRESS
Declares America Faces Long war
and Must Fight to Successful
Conclusion.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Senator Nc
Cumber. OF North Dakota. turned his
speech on revenue In the senate TO-DAY
into vigorous pro-war utterance
He declared fatty that unless this ma
ton is prepared to tight the war to
finish. it has committed a grievous
crime against humanity and itself by
ever entering 1t.
I'VE cannot. must not, emerge from
this conflict" he said. until the great
nations of the earth have entered IN
to a binding and solemn international
obligation, signed and sealed by each
and every one OF them. defining and
proclaiming the inherent and tnalien-
able rights of every nation great and
small--the right of each to live and
work out It's own destiny free from
the shadow OF impending war or the
danger Of humiliation by some mighty
military neighbor.
There should be an obligation re-
auiring every nation to follow that
code OF morality In it's International
relations which each nation imposes
upon its own people in their individual
relations
These are that no nation shall rob
a weaker nation OF it's territory: that
II shall not murder Its people; that It
shall not deprive another Of its In
oSpeHdcnCe or infringe upon It's SOW
ereign rights. There should DO pro-
vided court in which every interna-
tional dispute must be settled. thus
obiigating this world family to en-.
force Jointly the DEGREES Of such a
court. and therefore forever prevent
the recurrence Of such a holocaust OF
blood as now incarmines all Europe.
Until this war shall have been
fought to such a finish. then this con-
hict will have been worse than in
vain. Unless we are prepared to night
It to this finish. We have committed
a grievous crime against humanity and
our own people in ever entering it,"
Senator McCumber said he never
had shared In the Optimistic view"
expressed in the senate and the Amer
lean press" concerning the Immediate
success of the Russian revolution.
The senator reviewed German Prov
ess, saying that nation now has the
advantage. Great Britain has been
dreaming" he continued. The great
task is ahead of the United States.
and this country must contemplate q
war OF several years, with annually
AN ever greater outlay Of treasure"
