said, are those of jurisdiction and ! power of the tribunal and the embodi-
 ment in it of the necessary powers to
 enforce it's rulings
 No man." he continued, has yet been willing to say that he would
 give this tribunal the power to render
 judgments and to give the police force to enforce it."
 Senator BOrah asked what would the league amount to unless it were given power to enforce its judgments.
 And if it does render a judgment for the purpose of preventing war;" interjected Senator Reed, and has the power to enforce that judgment. how is it going to enforce that judg- ment without making war;"
 Exactly replied Senator Borah.
 Senator Borah said that A. J. Bal four, British foreign minister, has been quoted as favoring the league of nations. but he said the kind of league proposed by the British states man, seems to me as nothing more than an old ladies quilting society"
 Reading from a statement on the league made by Mir Balfour last August, Senator BOrah said the for eign minister rejects the proposition for an international court and enforce ment of decrees through economic pressure, ridicules universal disarma- ment and rejects universal arbitra. tiOn.
 Former Ambassador Bryce and the Earl of Curzon "also appear to think that the league should not have mili- tary force under its control nor power to limit nations armament" |" said the senator.
 Supporting the league, Senator Walsh suggested Senator Borah de- sired to have the United States in a position flor another territorial grab"
 'The senator understands me just right" Senator Borah replied. I'm willing to leave to this country its policy to be determined by the intel ligence of the people. I'm willing to trust their sense of justice and right rather than tribunal of other coun- tries.
 Do the people of the United States want their interests dominated by Turkey and Asia and races of Europe absolutely different in national aspira- tions and ideals, or to do business under the policy of the father of their l country-to keep free from entangling l European alliances?" asked Senator | Boyah.
 Senator Walsh said he, too. op- posed allowing small nations to have | an equal voice in dictating armament | or other vital policies of the great | powers and that representation in the i league was one of its principal prob | lens. But he pointed out that if the | United States submits it's important | questions to the league, the same | obligations would be placed on other members. I
 And give Costa Rica, Nicaragua | and Bulgaria. for instance, the right | to determine the size of our army and | navy?" asked Senator Borah.
 Disarmament, Senator Walsh re- piled. should not be dictated by the smaller nations, but. he declared it a necessary preliminary to the leagues ! establishment. It should be effected, II however, by separate treaty, he said II
 Who is to control this tribunal?" asked Senator Borah. What say are | the people of this country to have as to what control they are to have?
 ''Wh1 is going to keep from getting under the control of a Bismarck"
 Senator Williams of Mississippi, democrat, concluded the days debate by reiterating arguments in favor of the leagues establishment.
