Washington, Jan. 4.-The Republi-
can Publicity Association, through its
president. Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr..
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington headquar.
ters:
eighty is incompa tible with member
ship in league of nations. Sover-
eighty is the supreme, absolute. un-
controilable power by which any state
is governed. II is an indivisable at
tribute of true statehood. In Ger
many and Russia. heretofore. 1t has
been vested in Kaiser and Gar, in
Japan, at present. in the Mikado. in
England. France and the United
citizens.
"In order to make a league of ma
tions potential some agency must be
created clothed with power not only
to write its DEGREES. but to enforce
those decrees. The proposed league
contemplates some sort of inretna-
tional tribunal which shall define the

constituent members. determine their
external policies, and be the court OF
last resort in all matters of dispute
arising between member nations.
while at the same time exercising
guardianship over nations not deemed
by the court itself to be eligible for
admission to the league. II is sug-
ges.ed that nations might enter this
league upon making certain reserva-
but it should be remembered that all
reservations become sooner or later
the prey to encroachment on the part
of the superior power.
"a situation somewhat analogous
confronted this country when the
Union was formed. Many of the
states believed that in joining the
Union they did not thereby relinauish
their sovereignty. but simply set up =
central authority to conduct the af-
fairs OF government for what they rec
ognized as confederation merely.
Did sovereignty vest in the whole
people with the adoption of the Con-
|stitution? Did ii gradually flow to
the whole people with the acceptance
by the majority of the states of the
long line of John Marshali's decisions?
Or did each state retain its sover-
eighty? Those questions led to the
Civil War, which definitely located
soyereignty from 1865 up to the pres
ent time. Are we now to pass 1t to
la higher power? No doubt both sides
in the bloody controversy OF the Sos
are agreed that the outcome was for
the best interests of the country. for
IL welded this great republic into a
homogeneous nation. Are we pre-
pared to affirm. however. that a war
to compel us TO abide by the arbitra-

would conduce TO the best interests

barred her from active service either

sion some two years later. At the time
she was built the Oregon wRs not only
one OF the finest ships in the new
American navy, but she was one Of
the most formidable vessels afloat.
Because of her race around the Horn
and the tremendous amount OF publicity
and favorable comparison with other
ships that this feat brought her. she
has always been regarded by Americans
generally rs a very fast vessel, although
ms a matter OF fact she was much slow
er than many war vessels OF her time,
and a great deal slower than any ship
constructed within the last 10 years.
Her official rating was only Is knots,
and on her best trials she never did
more than 16. During the entire trip
from San Francisco TO Key West, ac-
cording to the best available records,
she never exceeded l4ia knots, and
most Of the time she averaged between
10 and IL.
