Without an International court and

dicted a return to diplomatic anarchy.

more by selashness than by an altrus-
tic sentiment of Justice" He gave
warning that I'VE should not deceive
ourselves by assuming that the policies
OF other governments are founded on
unscltshness or on constant purpose
to be even just tho the consequent
Ces be contrary TO their immediate in
tercsts."
Let us then with as little delay as
possible" said he, establish on inter-
| national tribunal or tribunals of JUS

dation: let us provide an easier. a
cheaper and better procedure than now

| concise body of legal principles to be
applied to the questions to be ad-

Speaking of the plans of the peace
conference to place on trial in n judi
cial court the former German Emperor,
Mr. Lansing recalled that 1t was the
commissioners of the United States
who stood opposed to such trial. altho
| "it was recognized that he had com
mitted a great moral crime. an un-
pardonable ofTense against humanity.
The stand of the American Commits
sioners. he said. was based on the
conviction that there was no provision
of written or unwritten law for the de-
| fnition and punishment of crimes
against humanity. ra

ed that an understanding respect fot
law Is essential to the prosperity ano

In conclusion Mr.. Lansing reiterated
| that "nationalism must be maintained
at all hazards" and that ut is equally
! imperative that within tho nation IN

classism."
True peace between nations wouic

ciples of Justice.
