BORDER AGREEMENT
WITH CANADA NEAR
Statement of Neighbor Nation on
Negotiations Expected in

Baghot agreement regarding the mill
tary and naval defenses along the in

the present negotiations will result
in bringing such arrangements in line
with the agreements reached at the

Questions involving the United

lively year ago, and last summer

FINDS MIDDLE WEST
OPPOSED TO COURT
King Says People Regard It as
e Another Entangling
Alliance.

The proposed world court comes
within the concept of entangling for
eign alliances, which the people Of the
| middle west abhor, according to Rep
resentative Edward j. King of Illi-
nois.
This would prove merely an initia-
tory step toward super government
by league of nations" Represen enta-
tive King said. 1T would mean our
interference with the affairs of for
eign governments and interference in
our affairs by foreign governments.
In discussing the attitude of his
home people" gained from personal
contact with them, Representative
King said:
Mississippi valley folks have set
tied their attitude toward foreign
nations. They do not care to in
terfere with foreigners and they
hotly resent any attempt by foreign
ers to interfere with us.
You cannot have "A court of any
kind unless its orders and DEGREES
can be enforced. You cannot enforce
decrees by coaxing nations. DEGREES
of our circuit courts can be enforced
BY our sheriffs and then, if necessary,
by our state troops.
IF the world court Judges should
enter an order whereby property in
some one country was to be taken
for payment of debts, execution
would issue from the court. Judges
could not execute the orders; this
would have to be done by bailiffs or
sheriffs of the world court. If they
failed, the army of the league Of
i.ations must be used, which use of
force in maintaining mandates
already has resulted in massacres of
innocent peoples.
"A world court would be con-
Nenient arrangement for interna-
tional bankers to collect their in
ttrnational debts. But it would Ger
tainly not be agreeable to the com
mon people, who would be expected
to supply the force necessary to
rake effective the DEGREES and orders
Of the knee -breeched world court"
