The trip to the rum fleet served
one purpose even if it did disillusion
those aboard the cutter about mod

enforcement officials that a rum fleet
actually exists and that ships flying
the British flag are the main carriers
of hooch to American shores.
Director Garfield saw and talked

most notorious rum runner in the
world, but tactfully declined the in

SAYS COURT WOULD.
HAVE MADE NATION
PART Of ENGLAND
Beveridge Makes New Argu-
ment Against Proposed
International Tribunal

BOSTON, June 18.-America would
still be part of the British empire
had the matters seemingly in dis
pute between Great Britain and her
American colonies been submitted to
an international court, former Sena-
tor Albert j. Beveridge of Indiana
said in an address tonight at the
Bunker Hill Day banquet of gen.
eral officers. Sons of the ReVolu-
ton. AS a mere matter of then ex-
listing law. he added, nearly every
point must and would have been
as a matter of equity. we would
have been held in the wrong on i'm
portant issues; for instance, the
British government having. defended
the colonies against the French, it
was only fair that the colonies
should bear their just part of the
expense"
IF anybody denied that an in
ternational court must and would
have decided against us in the be-
ginning, can anybody doubt that
such a tribunal, or any form of
peace league, must and would have
held us to be in the wrong when we
scorned the British advances in
1776?" Mr.. Beveridge asked.
If the founding of separate and
absolutely Independent nation was
not the end really fought for, then,
after 1875, the British had solid
ground for their bitter denunciation
of Washington and the American
patriots for continuing the war. Any
international court must and would
have decided against us; and If any
association of nations for the main
tenanceo peace had then existed.
1T would have been bound to support
the British and suppress the Amer
leans.
To-day all the ancient interna-
ttonal devices that ever have been
advanced-and every one of them
has been urged many times in the
past-are once more put forward
as though they were something new.
without discussing the merits of
these age-old plans. this basic fact
may be pointed out; everyone of
them has as its object, purpose, and.
if successful. it's admitted effect,
the maintenance of the status quo
of the world.
so. in passing upon any or all
of these schemes, let us have clearly
in mind that the simple issue is
whether the American nation wishes
to pledge itself to help keep all Eu-
rcpean and Asiatic boundaries and
arrangements >as they are"
