Notwithstanding the declarations OF
the party upon the League OF Ma
tons because the great principles OF
the Democratic party which nave
survived the vicissitufes OF the CEN
fury still live.
Upon the League Of Nations the
platform Of either party fails TO
suit me, but there Is something
greater than the platform Of poll
teal convention II is the platform
% Americanisrn. That platform was
proclaimed in the Declaration Of In
dependence. II was formulated by
George Washington.
.'One of the principles which he
asserted was on of the very cardinal
principles Of democratic faith is
that this government should consti-
tute the leading power on this side
OF the Atlantic. shielding and pro-
tecting against foreign aggression the
weaker countries Of the western
hemisphere. and that il should for
ever keep itself free of entangie-
ments with European and Asiatic
powers. refusing to take part in their
wars, controversies or intrigues. ex-
cept where our interests were direct
~ concerned
THE demand of the hour" the
senator said, lis for the exercise Of
sober judgment, patient investigation
and the exercise of infinite caution.
Many mighty problems are pressing
for immediate attention. They de-
mand the highest order of intellect
and the most exalted character of
patriotic craftsmanship.
"At such a time as this il is IN
fortunate that the country is infested
with demagogues."
Senator Reed reviewed the history
Of the treaty negotiation saying that
IF there had been no interference by
the executive department there
would not have been three senators
who would not have voted radically
to amend the treaty
IT also unhestiatinglv state" Sen
ator Reed declared, that if It had
not been for an immense propa-
ganda financed by international
bankers, plus the influence Of the
White House, there would not have
been a half dozen senators who
would have voted for the League OF
Nations in any form"
Even the Dem ocratic platform, the
senator added, recognized that reser-
vations or amendments are neces-
sary.

End First Stage in
Organizing Permanent Court

The Hague, July 14-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-The first part Of
the conference of jurists who are or
ganizing a permanent court OF iE-
ternational justice on the invitation
of the League of Nations was fin
ished today. The work has reached
a stage where the principles on all
important subjects. including the
selection of judges, the competence
of the court, the law TO be applied
and the procedure OF the court have
been agreed upon in the first read
ing.
The remainder Of the week will be
devoted TO formulating the text Of the
project, during which time the jur-
lists will sit as a reductional COM
mittee. When the text is ready,
which is expected at the beginning
of next week. the second reading will
take place and if an agreement is
reached then, the project will be
ready to be submitted to the council
and assembly Of the League Of Ma
tons
This morning the question discus
sed was whether a judge should sit
during a case in which his country
was one Of the parties. Though all
the jurists admitted that the nation
atty of a judge was Of no nomenv
in the ideal court. they agreed that
international law was not yet per-
feet and decided the judge should
resign. His country will be permit
ted TO nominate him as an asses
scr, however, having the right to be-
present at all sessions, but having
only a consultory Vote.
