PEACE PACT is CHIEF ISSUE
IN KEYNOTE SPEECH
Continued from Page II

THE very power of the Republican
party to conduct partisan investiga
lion of the war to criticize the
president, to control the organization |
Of the sentae and to wreck the pros
poets of world peace, rests upon a 7
bare majority of one, secured through
the tainted senatorial vote from
Michigan"
Cummings then referred to the re
cent investigation of the primary
election campaigns.
"The Republican party he said,
became so fixed in its incorrlgible
habit OF conducting Investigations
that it finally turned to the fruitful
task of. investigating itself. For the
first time since they entered upon
this program they discovered frau |
mad graft and ineScusable expendi-
lures. The revelations Disclose the
fact that the meeting at Chr
cago was not convention but an
auction The highest bidder how
ever, did not get the prize.
Cummings referred to those who
complain at the great money cost of
the war as "pitifully cramped IN
soul"
Regarding preparedness, he SAID
that in strict military sense a de-
mocracy is never prepared for war
in way that was far more effective
than by maintaining at enormous
cost great ornaments which neither
hut that america was made ready
party ever advocated and whom our
people would never APPROVE.
Cummings did not refer to the LID
quor issue.

said. Panics, he said, ARE now but

Under the Republican system
thcrc was an average Of one bank
failure every twenty-one days for II
sariod of nearly forty years. AFTER
passage of the federal reserve sys-
tenn there weer in 1915 four bank
failures; in 1916 and 1917 three bank
failures: in 1918 one bank failure,
and in 1919 no bank failure at all
Passing to the record OF the repub-
lican congress, he said it had ignor-
ed the Presidents recommendations
for measures relating to profiteerlng'
taxation, appropriate action relative
to the returning soldiers, etc. lie
termed the session ''barren OF
achievement shameless In waste oI
time and money.
Cummings launched into a detail
ed defense of the treaty and the
league of nations. He said America
is in honor bound to ratify the trea-
ty. and cited events in chronological
order to prove this point.
"Thus, before we entered the war
we made the pledge, during the war
we re-stated the pledge, and when
the armistice was signed all the ma
tons, ourselves included renewed
the pledge; and it was upon the
faith of these promises that Germa-
ny laid down her arms he said.
He called league of nations cove
nant the Monroe Doctrine OF the
world and said its purpose is ITO
give notice that if any nation raises
its bloody hand and seeks to cross
the line into any other country the
forces of civilization will be aroused
to suppress the common enemy OF
peace
Such covenant, he said, would
have prevented the world war.
The republican plank regarding
peace he termed as a vague prom
ise," when does not name "our pro
posed copartners' in a different
form of association among nations
of a tenuous and shadow character.
He defended the league along
much the same lines as were follow
ed by President Wilson before his
sickness. He attacked the republi-
can members of the senate foreign
relations committee as designing
from the outset to mutilate the trea-
ty" because it was negotiated by
Democratic President He said
Senator Lodge had refused to sug-
gest amendments to the treaty, BUT
that President Wilson had seen to it
that amendments offered by Taft,
Rool and Hughes had been incorpo
rated
Regarding the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, he said:
'The foreign relations committee,
Immediately following the last cleo
ton, was reorganized with person
mel consisting of the open foes OF
the treaty. Amongst the number
was Senator Borah, who declared
that he would not be for league OF
nations. were the Savior of Mankind
to advocate it,. Senator Johnson,
Senator Knox and Senator Moses,
whose hatred Of the president
amounts to an obsession, were also
members, and Senator Lodge was
chairman,
'The treaty was referred to the
committee thus studiously prepared
for its hostile reception. These
members of this committee adopted
every subterfuge to misrepresent the
document which they were supposed
to be considering as statesmen. The
senate had even begun discussion Of
the treaty months before its negotia

when. the SIS went down. The look
out on the General Goethals saw it
being attracted by its bell, as well as
the fact that it was not noted on the
chart.
A small boat with an officer in com
mand, was lowered from the trans
port to investigate. When the buoy
was reached, the buzzsr device could
be heard The officer cut into the
connection and quickly there came
this message:
