he believes the work of The Hague tri-
bunal should be taken up and out of it
should be framed some tribunal through
which international difficulties can be
settled.
The bringing about of cordial rela-
tions among the nations so that peace
may prevail is the aspiration of every
human heart, he said.
| 1--WE have failed to realize that aspira-
| ton for the reason that, instead of
adopting the idea of judicial determine
| ton of differences, q political alliance
| among nations was created, and when the
alliance was created and given the name
Of the league of nations 1t was seen by
our people thar instead of preventing
future wars it was itself likely to prove
the breeder Of more wars" he continued.
GIVES SUPPORT To
! TREATY RESERVATIONS.
80 the republican party in Washing
ton, the majority of the republican SEN
ators in the capitol decided that such
! covenant must be so limited by reserva-
ton as to make clear forever the funda
mental principles upon which our gov
eminent rests.
ut, therefore, adopted a reservation
preserving forever in all It's integrity the
Monroe doctrine, that doctrine under
| WHICH, loI lUU SHuIS we Hdu AAfCu un
terms of amity with Europe.
TT provided further that the sover-
eighty of the lated States should be pre-
served at Washington.
ut also provided that no American sol
dier should ever cross the seas to engage
IL another war unless the congress of the
United States, selected by the American
people, so decreed.
Il have always felt that we overlooked
- T. AE.k
did not take up the great work Of The
Hague conferences where they left of,
and go on to the creation Of international
courts so that we might arbitrate our
( international differences rather than fight
them out on bloody battlefelds.
81 still think we overlooked an op-
portunity that comes TO a nation but
once in a century.
IF we had done that today we would
have in existence the machinery for ad-
justing these international differences
that now threaten the peace of the
world.
But the league OF nations without
reservations. in the form in which It
was brought TO this shore, would have
created, in my opinion, a super state,
state which would have overawed ana
overcome the American republic.
Therefore these reservations insisted
upon by the senate Of the United States
we're righteous and just.
SEEKING FRIENDS,
But NOT PARTNERS.
I'VE are In favor of peace: We want
the friendship Of every nation on the
face of the globe; we are looking for
/ friends, but we are not looking for
partners.
1--WE prefer to maintain our own in
/ dependence and preserve our own so
vereignty under the dome of our own
capital at Washington.
There are many people, dreamers
mostly. who think they see somewhere
so high In the sky that II Is almost out
/ OF sight. a banner upon which Is writ
ten the word decentralization a banner
that is supposed TO usher In the millen
MUM.
To some that international flag seems
the white emblem Of peace and 10 9th
ers it appears to be the red nag Of
anarchy.
But whichever it is. that interua-
tional flag will never take the place in
America of the Stars and Stripes, that
banner which belongs 10 America and
America alone"
