Cooperation the Remedy
Such a result can be prevented niy
b. the cooperation Of the nations mat

war. and the last four years have
taught US what vast outlay that in

heavy as to lower materially n
standard OF living.

but does not govern: futile arguments
founded upon the assertion that IT Is
unconstitutional to provide by treaty
that we shall not go TO vial whenever
we please: futile because senators
who use this argument have recently
voted for the Bryan treaties with
provisions that we should not go to
war for any cause before submitting
the matter to a commission OF in
4uiry.
