American Bar Association Will Ask
For Ratification of the Peace Treaty

St. Louis. July Identification Of
the peace treaty. including the Lea
que OF Nations covenant, without
amendments. will. be recommended AT
the convention Of the American Bar
Association here. August % and n
inclusive. The recommendation will
be in the majority report of spec
ial committee appointed to consider
the treaty.
The committee which signed the
report was composed of Edgar A.
Bancroft of Chicago, William II. Wad.
hams, of New York, and the late
Frederick n. Judson, Of this city.
Charles Blood Smith Of Topeka,
Kan. and Henry St. George Tucker,
Of Lexington, Va, will present a mi
norty report, in which they assert
they are unable to concur with the
majority committee.
Sections OF reports to be present
ed at the convention have been re-
ceived by members of the local ar
rangements committee. The reports
treat OF various SUBJECTS.
Your committee is of the opin
ion that the treaty, including the pro
posals for a league of Nations, should
be ratified without amendment" the
majority report on the treaty de
cares THE world is anxious to re-
turn to a more settled condition which
awaits the termination of the great
war. If amendments are proposed by
| the United States, other governments
would undoubtedly propose amend
ments, and it is unlikely that a sec
ond conference could produce more
satisfactory treaty.
1T is particularly fitting that th'
United States should support the pro
posal for this league. The league "a
based upon our own experience in "
federation Of states enjoying liberty
and peace. 1t has been our high des
tiny to Join with our allies in prevent
ing the destruction of liberty and es
tablishing it as the governing primer
pie in the life of the state.
Upon entering the war we express
ed it as our desire and purpose t.
secure not only for ourselves, bu
for all nations of the world, an en-
during peace based upon those prin
ciples of liberty and of justice whicl
we enjoy. The league is organize
for that purpose. Should the Unitei
States refuse to enter the League /
would defeat its organization: shoul
the United States join, it gives tn
best assurance of its success
Dealing with the subject of amend
ments and reservation, the reports itet

brought nearer together, and that the
short session Of the old congress oe
abandoned.
The interval between the election
and Inauguration Of a president this
report declares. Is Il serious evil,
fraught with much danger, because,
if an administration is discredted by
popular vote Of want OF confidence.
the prestige Of the government at
home and abroad is weakened ana
there Is danger of humiliation and dis
aster to the Republic" The report
does not recommend any other date
for the election or the Inauguration.
Recommendation that the making OF
rules for the conduct Of aviation be
held in allegiance until arplanes be
come more numerous, is set forth in
another report
The committee on international Law
will present a report which states that,
after outlining developments of the
reconstruction period, 1t finds little
to record of wise and final adjustment
or of complete accord" Commenting
on the meeting of the organization

International Justice under the Lea
que OF nations, the report says: "At
