Treaty Is Example of Legisla-
tive Madness and BIunders,
Declares Vanderbilt.

By CORNELIUS VANDERBILT. Jr.

Copyright. 1924. by Universal service.)
The United States Government is
in the throes of economical hysteria
and unless 1t gets back on the safe
and sure course of legislative sanity.
there is no telling whittier we are
bound.
The Horsepower treaty is one OF
the gravest blunders into which this
country has ever been drawn. This
view does not come from disgrurtled
Democrats, League of Nations pro-
ponents or the irreconcilables. 1t
comes from staunch Republicans
themselves.
Distrust Of Japan and Japanese
motives are the principal reasons for
this opposition to the treaty.
Japan Well Prepared.
While our military and naval
strength is being Slapped daily as an
economy sop to the country. the
army and navy OF Japan have never
Eeen in more perfect condition for
attack.
II we can do without an army or
navy and be safe, fine. But when
we start amputating the arms and
legs of our army and navy even be-
fore the ratification of these treaties.
while the other powers retain their
full strength and watch us, it's crime.
Recently our Government las cume
Into possession OF authentic lnforma-
ton that Japan has dons absolutely
nothing To compl,- with the naval
treaty by reducing her fleet, and will
do nothing until The various treaties
are disposed Of by our Congress. Con-
siderable opposition to the naval
treaty has developed in Japan and
there is doubt concerning it's ratifi.
cation by the Japanese people.
Moreover, / am just as reliably
informed that II the United States
fails to ratify the four-power
treaty. Japan will repudiate the
naval agreement, for she considers
the first-named treaty as binding all
the other agreements. On the other
hand, should we ratify the four
power treaty as II stands. there will
still remain the possibility that the
Japanese will attempt to pull out Of
the naval agreement.
Japan Hold Strength.
This is why Japan holds to her
full naval strength with her we'll

ing up or scrapping one destroyer,
let alone dreadnaughts, while but
several days ago we decommissioned
fifty-two destroyers, for the sake Of
economy.
Is this compatible with our ma.
tional safety? Will we not be in a
of actual peril IL these
treaties fail Of ratification either by
or by any OF the other
powers?
We are today voluntarily placing
In the hands of Japan a great pre.
ponderance OF naval strength, trust
ing to her good will and intentions
that she will do the right thing.
What are tho other signatory
powers doing with the Horsepower
treaty.
England is suffering from politi-
cal dissension and doing nothing.
France has changed cabinets and is
doing nothing. Japan Is apparently
more concerned with the expected
visit OF the Prince of Wales than the
treaties.

BRYAN CLAIMS

Theory Of Prominent Chi
cago Educator.

prominent educators at chicago
fen days ago denounced William
Jennings Bryan as "medievalist"
and roundly criticised him for his
opposition to the teaching of evoiu-
ton in the public schools. At the
request of the International NeWs
Service, the Comnponer has Written
tho following answer to his critics !:
By wfsLIaM JENNINGS BRYAN

1 am not disturbed by any criti-
cism made by any man who thinks
he is the descendant of an ape. He
may boast of his brute ancestry,
but it is a peculiar pride and there
are comparatively few who share 1t
with him.
When college professor winds
his intellectual tail round limb
OF Darwin's family tree he natural
ly looks down with contempt upon
ordinary people who walk on the
ground and are content to believe
that they were made in the image
Of God. But while this gives amuse-
ment to the tree man." It docs
not disturb the people, except when
such men take charge Of the edu.
cational system of the country and
undermine the religious faith Of the
children entrusted to their care
Opposed to Theory.
With something like a million
species of life, they have not yet
been able to prove that a single
species came from another.
The flimsy evidence upon which
Darwinites build their faith would
not be sufficient to convict a person
OF petty larceny in any court In the
civilized world. And yet, upon this
so-called evidence, they repudiate tn.
Bible. Darwinism made an agnostic
out Of Darwin.
You can silence any Of these
worshipers OF a Jungle ancestry By
asking them to put in writing the
vital truths which they reject when
they consistently apply Darwin's
hypothesis to the Bible. / have been
trying to get some Of these insolent
guessers to answer the question but
they avoid 1t. II they viii show how
little Of the Bible they believe to be
consistent with Darwinism the people
will understand the extent to which
they undermine faith with their
ridiculous guesses.
Sec No Divine Purpose.
They do not believe In the creation
of man by separate act as a part Of
Gods plan. They see no divine pur.
pose in mans presence here. They
exclude the miraculous and the su.
pernatural as inconsistent with evo-
luton. They libel Christ by deny.
ing His virgin birth: they rob Him
OF His Deity, and scout at His
resurrection. In fact, they so belit.
tie Him that they regard the find.
ing Of the fossil remains of what
they call a five-toed horse as a more
important event even than the birth
OF the Saviour.
