Johnny's Advice To Future
Lovers

When you boys go a,wooing
AS you are prone to do,
At some time or other
When things get rather blue,
You'll have to go at seven,
And leave precise at ten
With a rjtten declaration
To convince the policemen,
AS to what you tCth we're saying
And moreso what you did;
Whether she kissed you boldly
Or whether she blushing hid.
Oh the cops will have a great time
These confessions to receive,
They'll attend the call Of duty
And never their stations leave,
Whether you get out the window
Whether YOU get out the door
Whether you get out the ceiling
Or you scuttle through the floor
You'll find a cop Awaiting;
A cop you never saw.
A gentle smiling darkie
But the strong hand of he law.
When in the morning after
In the prison cell you wake,
You'll at last admit that wooing
Is a rather grave mistake.
You'll wish you'd listened to father
That you'd have to pay the toll
10 the morning after the nigho before
When you're up against judge Knoll.

Article 10 seems to me to constitute
the very backbone of the whole cove
nant. without it, the league would be
hardly more than an influential de-
batting society.
1T has several times been suggested.
in public and in private conference.
that interpretations of the sense in
which the United States accepts the en-
gagements of the covenant, should be
embodied in the instrument of ratifi-
cation There can be no reasonable OBJ
lection to such interpretations, accom-
panying the act of ratification provided
they do not form part of the formal
ratification itself. Most Of the inter-
pretations which have been suggested
to me embody what seems to me the
plain meaning of the instrument itself
But if such Interpretation should con-
stitute a part of the formal resolu-
ton of ratification long delays would
be the inevitable consequence mas
much as all the many governments
concerned would have to inflexibly ac-
cept in effect the language of the SEN
ate as the language of the treaty be-
fore ratification would be completed.
The assent of the German assembly at
Weimar would have to be obtained
among the rest and / must frankly say
that I could only with the greatest re-
luctance approach that assembly for
permission to read the treaty as we
understand it, and those who framed it
quite certainly understood it. If the
United States were to qualify the docu-
ment in any way. moreover l am con-
fident from what I know of the many
conferences and debates which accom-
panied the formulation of the treaty,
that our example would mmediately be

followed in many quarters, In some In
stances with very serious reservations,
and that meaning and operative force of
the treaty would presently be beclouded
from one end of its clauses to the other.
PLAIN SPEECH NECESSARY
Pardon me- Mr.. Chairman, if have
been entirely unreserved and plain
spoken in speaking of the great mat
tiers we all have so much at heart.
If excuse is needed, l trust that the
critical situation of affairs may serve
as my justification for worthy con-
sideration. The issues that manifest
w hang upon the conclusions of the
Senate, with regard to peace and upon
the time of its action. are so grave and
so clearly insusceptible of being thrust
on one side or the other that 1 have
felt it necessary in the public inter
est to make this urgent plea to you,
and to make it as simply and as I'M
reservedly as possible"
Senator Lodge asked: MT. Presi
dent. Your reference to the
necessity of action leads me to ask
one question. If we have to restore
peace to the world it is necessary.
assume, therefore, that there shorld
be treaties with Austria, Turkey, Hun
gary and Bulgaria. Those treaties are
more or less connected with the treaty
with Germany. The question 1 should
like to ask is what the prospects are
of receiving those treaties for action?'
The President: 'T think it is very
good. This treaty is a model of the
others. I saw of the others enough
before I left Paris to know that they
are being framed upon the same set
of principles and the treaty with Ger
many is the model I think that is
the chief element of delay SIR
Senator Lodge then asked whether
the President could show the COM
mittee the original draft of the league

For the Good of
the Community

Tor several years.
There is no unity of action, each sec
ton tries to work out it's own problem
without reference to any other part of the
state. North Alabama seems to believe
it is separate and apart from the balance
of the state and the same is true of south
Alabama or central Alabama and of east !
and west Alabama, and each and every
community.
"The people of the Tennessee Valley
feel no interest in Mobile and Mobile
looks upon the balance of the state in the
same way.
Tuscaloosa and Eufaula, Gadsden
and Greenville Huntsville and Dothan,
Mobile and Birmingham, Montgomery
and Florence seem to be very little con-
cerned about what goes on except in
their own communities and the list might
be extended to include every community
in the state"
The man speaking thus is familiar with
every locality in the state. He has been
in all of Them most of them several times,
and some of them frequently. He knows
the people of Alabama as we'll, and per-
haps better, than any other man in the
:. state. And he speaks of his own personal
knowledge.
1t is not very pleasant picture he
draws, but, but it is true. That it is true,
has been we'll demonstrated at Montgom-
cry recently.
The consideration of revenue bill
forcibly demonstrated this lack of unity
of harmony among the citizens of the
various parts of the state.
The members of the legislature but
speak the sentiment of their constituents
in tax matters. Every man in the legis-
lature, with few exceptions, showed will
ingness to pass bill that would raise all
the revenues the governor asked for, but
he wanted the other fellow to pay for
them He protested vigorously against
putting any additional tax on his con-
stituents
The man who voted for the tonnage tax
on coal and iron ore vociferously pro-
tested against lumber footage tax or
other species Of special taxes that affected
his district.
1t was every fellow for his own particu-
lar locality with an utter disregard for
what might happen to any other COM
munity.
This is not the right spirit It is not
the spirit that builds up state It is not
the spirit that makes for progress
What affects the Tennessee Valley, af-
fects the Wiregrass region, the cane
brake prospers as Birmingham prospers
and disaster at Mobile is reflected in
conditions all over the state.
Virginians are justly proud of their
state So are Kentuckians and likewise
the natives of most of the states. They
are quick to make known the state of
their nativity and none dare dispute their
claim of superiority.
Not so with Alabamians They man.
fest no state pride Elsewhere among
strangers they seldom mention their home
state and only in an Incidental way when
they do.
The citizens Of Alabama ought to cul-
tivate better feeling for the other citi-
zens of the state. They should join to-
gether in working for the greatest good
of the whole state, and this can be done
only by each community extending it's

ONLY MORAL OBLIGATION

The President: Il would not inter-
pretet it that way, senator, because
there is involved the element OF Judg
ment as to whether the territorial IN
tegrity or existing political lndepeno-
ance Is invaded or impaired. In other
words, it is an attitude OF comradesnlp
and protection among the members of
the league which in it's very nature is
moral and not legal"
senator Borah: IF, however, the actual
fact of invasion we're beyond dispute,
then the legal obligations would inme-
d;atelv arise if the fact of actual inva.
sion were undisputed.'
The President: 1.-THE legal obligations
to apply the automatic punishment OF the
covenant undoubtedly. but not the legal
obligation. There might be very strong
neral Obligation
SENATOR Knox: .Mr President suppose
It is perfectly obvious and accepted that
there is an external aggression against
some power and suppose 1t is perfectly
obvious and accepted that it cannot be
repelled except by force of arms, would
we be under any legal obligation to par
ticipate?"
The President: mo, sir; but we would
be under an absolutely compelling moral
obligation"
In reply to Senator Williams the Pres
ident said again that the applicability
OF the principles contemplated in the
covenant would rest entirely on national
decision.
| Discussing further the question OF res
| ervations with Senator McCumber, the
President said.
| 1--WE differ orly as to the form of ac-
ton think it would be very serious
practical mistake 20 put it in the reso
luton of ratification. but do hope tina
