time since the deadlocked developed
there was a tenseness among specta-

there was a last minute furry as
their chairman, Representative Mel

MOSES PROPOSES

ed States cannot dertake-unless we
are prepared to repudiate the verdict
OF 1920 and to take the first step in a
path-that leads to the vortex of close
and unacceptable ENHANCEMENT.
Yet those of us who recognize the
Facts and who have the temerty to
assert them are characterized as hu-
namely strabismic and politically par
alyzed. We are accused of mere OBJ
struction and are taunted with having
no constructive planLto offer as against
one which promises so high a return
that nothing short of an international
blue sky law can properly interfere
with it's operation.
And this. too. in the face of a re-
cent declaration by the newest of all
senators. save one that he clutches the
key to the problem. possesses the for
mula for the solution of our difficult
ties. and can assure the peace of the
world-thus proving once more the old
truth that many things. though hidden
from the wise and prudent, are reveal
ed unto babes and sucklings.
But from my point of view look
beyond the proposed league, and i see
another tribunal. in the creation of
which the United States had no small
part and to the Strengthening Of
which the United States later made
the greatest contributory suggestion
a suggestion which was rendered nuga-
tory only because other nations were
not then either sufficiently enlightened
or sufficiently chastened to meet our
advanced opinion. The Hague tribunal
of which am speaking has long and
honored record.
And. because Of this record, to my
mind The Hague tribunal now, from
its inception, presents a firm founda-
ton upon which to act. If such a struc-
ture iS2ecessary. an international tenn
pie of Justice, permanent in it's charac-
ter. broad in its functions. paid by it's
representative nations, and tribunal
to which all people may repair. know
ing that it's bench shall be immedi-
ately ranelled from all countries sig
natory to The Hague treaties without
submitting its judges to the indignity
of running the gauntlet of any assem-
bly, whose authority has already been
disdained and fiouted.
I'VE are daily assured by those who
wish to profit by our power and our
authority that we possess the moral
leadership Of the world. If so. why not
assert tin better phrase, why not re-
assert it-by turning again to The
Hague tribunal. a living body. which
needs only to be nurtured to become
what We once sought to make it,"
