had challenged international law. He
said she had definitely failed and the
question had now arisen as to what
steps ought to be taken, not In any
spirit OF idle vindictiveness, but TO re-
establish the authority OF international
law. During his address he said:
I'VE are determined that our chill
dren and grandchildren. and those even
who como after them shall be spared
what this generation has gonc through.
Many great crimes against interna-
tional law have been committed. The
very origin OF the war and the viola
tion OF Belgium will for all time be
remembered as one Of the greatest
crimes against civilization.
1T would not be possible to con-
slider how 4 given individual should
be made responsible for the highest
of all crimes against civilization. AS
to those crimes which necessarily raise
questions Of highest and most deiiber-
ate policy, you would at most only
deem 1t necessary TO make certain in
vestigations OF exact and great ques-
tions OF policy which might be raised
and that could obviously be dealt with
by councils in which all the allies
would be reOreSented."
