Infants, He Says.
TALKS TO CANADIAN BAR

Ottawa. Sept. 2.-Speaking before
the Canadian Bar Association at lunch
con here yesterday, William Howard Taft,
former President Of the United States
and official representative of the Amer
lean Bar Association, dealt with the
constitutional aspects of the League of
Nations.
Il do not think" he said. that
those people who contend against the
power of the United States to make
contracts and enter into obligations
with other nations fully realize how
completely such n construction of the
Constitution would relegate our great
nation and government TO the limbo Of
infants and irresponsible persons who
may not undertake obligations that are
binding upon them.
The token of sovereignty, he held, was
the power To make and break agree
ments at will.
Mr.. Taft declared that the question in
which Canadian were interested, and
with which be proposed to deal, was
what are the powers Of the United
States. as a neighbor. in making treaties
He said he would not discuss whether
or not the United States should become
= member of the League Of Nations, but
these present To the Constitutional as
pect OF the case. and try 10 discover
whether or not the United States had
the power to enter the League,
Mr.. Taft outlined the features Of the
United States Constitution which vest
IN the President and Senate the power
a making treaties. but give to Con-
gress all control of the purse strings
However much II might be minimized
he said il was no mean power that was
vested in the President and two-thirds
uf the Senate when they We're author
lied to enter into treaties with other
nations
Precedent. MIR Taft said did not sup
port the present attitude of the United
States. and he pointed 10 the agreement
with the Republic Of Panama for proof
He cited the refusal of President Wash
Ington 10 submit the details of the Jav
treaty % Congress. rs a proof that the
United States would not icse sovereignty
IN entering the League cf Nations.
MIR Taft said there was SO much con-
siitution in the United States that when
II was intended 10 hCnor man he was
referred 10 rs Constitutional lawyer.
Some of these he believed to be decidedly
Mr. Taft slid that the result of the
Presidential election in the United States
would not necessarily mean the decision
of the people of the 'nitcd States regard
ing the League of Nations There were
other issues involved in the election.
II was claimed that TO enter the
League the United States would have
a. part with some Of her sovereign
powers This contention he disputed,
The fact of the matter was that SOW
ereiunty which could not enter into
agreement with other nations was
minor and ought to have guardian.

Duke of Devonshire. GOvernor-General;
members Of the Dominion and Provin-
cial Governments leading figures Of the

FRANCE; PROPOSES
TAX ON REVOLVERS

PARIS, Nov. A tax on revolvers
is being proposed in France in or
der to put a stop to the increasing
number of aggressions and attacks.
In order to purchase revolver a
man would require a permit from
the police, as the new measure is
applied. and a receipt for the pay
ment of a tax Of $40. Any person
found with a revolver which had
not been bought under the above
conditions would be severely fined
or even imprisoned.
1t is calculated that about ten
million revolvers are carried in
France by persons of different So
cial categories, from the man who
wishes to protect his home to the
apaches whose purpose is different.
The tax. at any rate, is expected to
net a considerable amount.
