armed force to enforce this judgment.
MIR. Borah: No; but we can accept
what / said. and that is that the ma
tiOns concerned agreed upon a pro-
gram by which it was to be enforced
by military power.
Mr.. Walsh: Yes; but the Senator
was discussing the endorsements of
the DEGREES OF THE COURT.
Mr.. BOrah; Exactly.
Mr.. Walsh: And he was endeavOr-
ing to establish that the DEGREES of
the court are enforced, and he was
obliged to say that the DEGREES Of the
court are enforced by the League of
Nations, not by the court; and he
undertook to quote from a newspaper
report as to what the council was go
ing to do, when the council adjourned
without doing anything. That is the
situation.
Mr.. BOrah. But the question is not
yet settled. The council can convene
at any time, and will do so when Oc-
casiOn requires.
Mr.. Walsh Certainly.
Mr.. Borah: And the nations con-
Cerned, according to the report, have
agreed that they will pool their mill
tary interests, if necessary, to enforce
that judgment.
Mr.. Walsh: What nations have
agreed TO that7
Mr.. BOrah: Great Britain and Bel
GUM and France and other nations
concerned.
Mr.. Walsh: Of course. the Senator
perfectly understands that that is
propaganda sent out TO induce Tur-
key to accede to the judgment.
Mr.. BOrah: Oh, no; ! do not per-
fectly understand it.
There you have it.
Now, Borah is no red. Neverthe-
less he made Walsh look funny, when
he tried to deny that the Court was
not related to the League. / sup
pose that Wheeler was in the Sen
ate halls when Borah recited the
above facts. However, as the Bible
says, none are so blind as these who
will not see, nor none so deaf as
those who will not hear.
The only element in the British la
Dor movement that favors the Court,
is the one that cannot be distinguish
ed from the Chamberlains and the
British imperialists generally. The
real leadership of British labor which
is not subsidized to make American
trips in the interests Of British man
dates, is hostile to the Court. More
over, the Washington government exc
cludes the leadership from entrance
into the United States Consequent
~, Wheeler cannot converse with it,
as he used to in Butte.
According to Senator Wheeler, his
tory is made by good men,"
This theory of history is pure bal
derdash, and is even rejected by cap
italist thinkers. History is the crea-
ton Of classes struggling for power,
arising from the social and economic
positions in which they find them
selves.
! When Wheeler voted for the World
/ Court, it was net because he was a
dad man." but because the economic
interests Of the class to which he is
ideologically and otherwise attached,
demanded it.

men" are instruments to promote the
material interests Of the imperialists
In the World Court today sits an

granted Mosul to England
Senator Wheeler alludes to the fact
that the Chicago Tribune is fighting
the Court, and, therefore, Wall Street
cannot be involved. The Senator is
about as dialetctical as is village
pump master.
The capitalists Of America are di-
vided into two sections, namely: the
finance capitalists and the industrial
capitalists. The Chicago Tribune and
the Hearst papers and the others
about whom Wheeler writes, speak for
the industrialists. They are not OPP
posed TO the Court in principle They
fight the Court because it will en-
danger their interests in South Amer
lea. The industrialsts want the
Monroe Doctrine applied as a pro
gram Of subsection and exploitation
