Tells Dartmouth Alum
 nj That Path To The Millennium Is None Other Than Path Of
 Justice.
Duty of All Nations Is to Maintain Sanctity of Agreements and Impar- tial Adjustment of Differ ences.

Hanover. x. H., June is.-The per
 manent court Of international justice
 constitutes tribunal with standards
 That conform 10 our highest courts
 Secretary Hughes said here today
 speaking at the alumni gathering in
 connection with commencement exer-
 eises at Dartmouth college.
 ''I make bold 10 say" MT. Hughes
 said, that the United States could to-
 '-. ..,i greater satisfaction submit
 disputes 10 which il is Il party to this court than to any arbitral tribunal it
 would be possible to set up.''
 More Interest in Others.
 Mir. Hughes lauded the increasing interest in foreign peoples and our relations with them," now evident in the United States but said that If this interest was not to serve merely to promote the constant endeavors of propagandists or of racial groups. Il it must have it's support in careful study of history" and the understand. ing of other nations and their con ditions which the colleges should pro- | vide.
 Tn our foreign relations we desire | peace, security and cooperation" said | the secretary. Would that the spirit of America had one voice. one mes. sage. But there is q babel Of voices, d confusion of tongues. If danger threatens us, we happily stand united; but when We are least concerned as to our own safety we are most di- vided in our counsels. But allowing for all the inevitable differences. It Is too much to expect that we should have one controlling voice. one dom- inant message as to the fundamentals We are intent on peace and because of this the United States can never refuse it's support to institutions of justice.
 Two Causes of War.
 We recognize that there are two classes of controversies which may cad to strife. There are the conflicts ,f national interest; of political ex- , oediency of rival policies where there s no agreement. no recognized de- principle, no governing rule ,f law which may be invoked. There ra are bound to recognize the rights if other states, equal members of the :. amily of nations as we, unfailingly f, insist upon our own. xxx ;, But in that class of controversies p where there are entreaties to carry f, ut and commonly accepted principles A, nd rules of international law to ap- Vi ly we have a. manifest duty. That u uty is to maintain the sancity of tr agements; to aid in H the impartial adjustment of of ifferences and thus to insure the be deouate administration of interna- onal justice. s4 But we shall do but lip-service to tn lis cause if we refrain from support Nj g the agencies of justice It hap B. ems that at this time there exists tie functioning, permanent court of B, ternational justice equipped with a CT body of jurists as well va lalified for their task as any judges at could be chosen--men whose Sl aracter and equipment permits no mi arge of partiality or disqualifica- all ,n.
