they were detestable," he said, 1--WE
were rushed into the league court
Precedent and custom require that
treaties be negotiated between sover-
eign powers through regular diplo.
matte channels.
Notwithstanding the protocol anC
/ statute of the court are in form anC
substance a treaty, the President re-
ceived them from the League of Ma
tiOns, a body which we have refused
to JOIN or to recognize as possessing
governmental authority or power.
Zone faction declares that the best
way to preserve the peace and pros
perity Of America" he said, 'is in
! consonance with the policies Of Wash
ington to refuse to interfere in the in
trigues and wars Of Europe and to
forbid interference with our policies
on this side eff the ocean.
THE other faction decares that the
best way for our government to inter-
fere in all Of the disputes and wars of
the world and to permit foreign gov
enments to thrust themselves into
the settlement cf such disputes as
America may have on her own ac-
count. In other words, the best wav
to keep out of the disputes and wars
of the world is to get into all of
them.
Mr. Bouck said
81 am here to continue the debate
which was shut eff in the senate by
the voting of cloture. Cloture is a
method Of stopping the debate when
it is becoming exceedingly interesting
to the people Of the country" he said.
<"The League of Nations already is
the subject cf political maneuvering
and wire pulling for its CONTROL" he
said. 81 can imagine people sincere
~ wanting America to join the League
Of Nations but | cannot conceive of
anyone wanting us to take an inferior
position. Great Britain would have
seven votes to one for the United
States. Great Britain could dominate,
yet we are in the position of having
signified our intention of going in
Cuba would have one vote. Liberia
would have one vote. The same people
who are willing to give Great Britain
seven votes to our enc are willing to
surrender George Washington's teach
ings and precepts."
Cites British Rubber Control.
Br. Borah referred to Great Bri-
tains control of rubber. He said he
had no quarrel with Great Britain.
"They are a wonderful people when
it comes to looking after the people Of
Great Britain. The manipulation of
rubber prices by the English combines
has cost S2O0,0O0,000 above a fair
price.
1--WE should lock to our own inter
ests and protect our own interests. If
we cannot permit ourselves to depend
upon foreign control in one single
item, can we leave cur national prin-
ciples to foreign control?"
He said the World court would con-
sist Of IL judges, 10 always foreign
ers, and possibly H., with the MAORI
ty able to render an opinion from
which there would be no appeal. He
asked, Gould America leave the
Monroe doctrine, right or wrong,
peace or war, to foreign control?"
"The greatest influence in the work
for peace and good is the mcontract-
ed, membarrassed independence Of
the American government" said Mr..
Borah.
u. S. PrOffered Chicago Aid.
He referred to the United States
government recently offering assist
ance to Chicago in Kidding itself of
alien gunner, and asked: b
IF we can't get along with a few
hundred, why intrust ourselves to mil
lions Of the same kind ?"
He said the best thing was for
America to build up its citizenship
and make its own institutions endur-
ing.
America, he declared, should keep
Itself free and Independent and when
2 crisis arises, it should be our own
Judgment, the conscience of American
which determines, not eight
Or nine gentlemen sitting in a foreign
country without Americas leaders to
guide the decision as to what America
should do.
He said that the solemn pledges
made to Syria at the time of the
World war were being inconsciously
and asked:
Exploitation Assailed.
Are we to join a combination
whose principal purpose seems to be
% exploit dOwntrcdden people?"
What is going on in Asia 2" he
asked, and answered, "the exploitation
If human lives. Every nation exploit
ng China is a member of the League
If Nations and a member of the
World court. Every nation is pledged |
% respect China's territorial rights.
Why does not the League of Nations
speak? Wy does not someone appeal
% the World court"
He said the exploiting nations are
he instruments of the imperialistic
policies of Europe, and ADDED that
Imperialism is dominating Europe
and sowing the seeds for another var.
