the league We have two extrema
views among our peoples upon the
policies we should adopt in all these
matters. One contends the ideal is
isolation; leave Europe to herself,
the other contends, for at least moral
domination, as mission of interna.
tional justice. Many Of us want
neither extreme. Assuming that
some day it will be ratified in some
form, the nature of our policies un-
der the league have yet to be devel-
oped. We all hope for its immediate
energies in reduction Of armament,
the development of engines of con-
ciliation, of arbitration, and codes
and courts Of international justice.
We hope for it's Influence in the de-
struction of the economic barriers
set up before and since the war,
which stifle the recuperation and the
free entry of our own commerce
over the world"
Some of us hope that the league
will not interpose in international dif.
ferences except at the last stage nee
essary to mitigate the growth OF con-
flict. Some of us have no liking for
mandates of any European state"
"Time and encouragement are need
ed to develop the treaty constructively
under the league" he said.
I'VE have great responsibilities of
sympathetic character to some of our
sister democracies in Europe" he
said.
"They involve no political commit
ment They spring from the human
heart. Had we not interviewed. Eur
ope today would be governed by auto
cracies from the Baltic to the Mediter-
ranean.
Some of the cities of Poland, Fin
land, Czecho-Slovakia and Austria to-
day are struggling with sheer starva-
| tion amongst their men, women and
children. Their recuperation has not
proceeded far enough to enable them
to find food through private credits.

small amount of food credit pending
their recuperation. If We fail to do

Cummins replied to criticism of the
clause of the bill which guarantees
the roads 5h per cent return on
their investment and declared he
could not understand the assaults
against the labor sections of the mea-
sure.
Both of these clauses of the bill
have been under fire from the railroad
brotherhoods and other labor unions
planning to carry their fight on the
bill to President Wilson.
The union men were expected to
ask the president to veto the bill and

to settle present wage disputes irres-
pective of congressional action.
The president, according to white
house officials today, was also drawing
up a communicationt to the .uaion- men
in reply to their suggestion for an in
dependent wage tribunal which they
first made to him t.h days ago.
Whether he win agree to such tribu-
nal or insist on the union men going
before the body set up by the Esch-
Cummins bill was not indicated.
Cummins' opening discussion on the
bill before the senate, said he. was
hopeful it might be acted upon today.
The guarantee section of the bill, he
said, would not take a dollar out of
the public treasury. On the labor
provision, he said:

he pleases at any time. cannot
