Calls for Plain Statement.

Let 1t be stated in plain language
whether the measures the treeommen-
dations' or suggestions of the executive
council are to be binding on members
and are to compel then. to do what the
league delegates and executive council
determine.
Unless some better constitution for a
league than this can be drawn. it seems
to me that the worlds peace
win be much better, much more surely
promoted, By allowing the United
States to go on under the Monroe doc
srine. responsible for the peace of this
hemisphere. without any danger of
collision with Europe as to questions
among the various American states.
ard e a league is desired it might be
made up by the European nations
W hose interests are chiefly concerned.
and with which the United States
could cooperate fully and at any time.
whenever cooperation is needed.
1T must also be remembered that If
the United States enters any league of
nations il does so for the benefit of
the world at large and not for it's own
benefit, If we join league it must be
with the view of maintaining peace in
Europe, where all the greatest wars
have originated. Our share in any
league must be wholly for the benefit
of others.

Some Detailed Criticism.
In detailed criticism of the present
constitutional form Senator Lodge said:
I'VE abandon entirely the policy laid
down by Washington in his farewell ad-
dress and the Monroe doctrine. 1t is
worse than idle, it is not honest. to
evade or deny this fact. In the twin
king of an eye, while passion and emo
ton reign, the Washington policy is TO
be entirely laid aside and we are to enter
on a permanent and iEdissoluble alli
ance.
Under the terms of this league
draft the Monroe doctrine dis
appears. / have seen il said that the
Monroe doctrine is preserved under
article 10; that we do not abandon the
Monroe doctrine, we merely extend it

Asian and African questions are all

As to Territorial Guarantees.

critieising the territorial guarantee
provision, Senator Lodge said that the
United States would join in the obliga-
tion to maintain all national boun-
daries everywhere which, he said, was
"a very grave, very perilous promise
to make" 1t would require, he said,
constant possession of fleets and
armies, and added:
There is no need of arguing whethe er
there is to be compulsive force behind
this League. IT is there in article 10
absolutely and entirely in their guar
antics"
Senator Lodge questions whether the
proposed draft really makes for har-
mony among the nations or will tend to
produce dissension and controversy"
We all desire peace" he said, but
in our zeal for peace we must be care
ful not to create new obligations and
new and untried conditions which may
lead to fostering war rather than peace"
Mr.. Hitchcock RidicuIes Suggestion
After Senator Lodge had delivered
his speech Senator Hitchcock took
ferrous the Massachusetts, senator's
suggestion that the league would de-
prive the United States of it's right
of self-defense.
'I DESIRE said Mr.. Hitchcock, "to
repudiate the suggestion that the
league would in the slightest degree
limit the privilege and the duty of
any nation-the United States or any
other-to defend itself when attacked,
and to protect its territory and rights
when invaded. either by a member
of the league or not"
Senator Lodge replied that he took
that view, and the committee chair

Man Of Science Believed There Were,
and Sought Funds to Make
an Investigation.

On November 10, 1922, one Of the
most peculiar petitions ever presented
to congress was brought before that
body of lawmakers, which was none
other than request from John Cleves
Symmes, asking that aid be given him
to make voyage to the interior Of
the globe, which he believed to be in
habitable. He was permitted to lec-
ture before Union college, at which he
expounded his theory, which. however.
was met with universal ridicule.
Notwithstanding which he was great
ly respected as a man. He held that
all planetary bodies. including the
earth, are composed of concentric
spheres, open at their poles. In one
Of his memoirs he thus illustrates his
conception: with dividers describe a
plane of matter of loose texture, and
in the center add very small circle
draw a line through the center. 1t Is
evident that either half of the inner
circle, being almost equally surround
ed by matter, must be very little grav-
ltated centerwiSe, so being suspended,
my ioths Aioiiou is Heeueu 10
throw 1t compactly toward the outer
circle. This being admitted it follows
that half way from the outlet to the
inner side of this circle of matter thus
thrown out, like rarity, suspension
or balance of gravity should prevail,
and hence disposition to concentric
circles; therefore 1t follows that sue
cessive similar subdivisions should ex-
ist, gradually lessening in force and
quantity. BY applying this principle
to the earth l find the necessity of
hollow concentric spheres"
