WHITE HOUSE SEES OBSTACLES
TO TREATY OuTLAWING WAR

Washington. Nov. 25.-Anxious to
discuss with werld powers proposals
for the outlawing of war, President
Coolidge feels nevertheless that the
constitution of the United States
presents a serious difficulty in the
way of a binding treaty.
1t was recalled today at the White
House that the constitution places
with congress the responsibility OF
declaring war. Mr.. Coolidge be-
lieves congress cannot, therefore, be
deprived of this power by any trea-
ty but he does think a treaty express
ing declaration of policy is pos
sible.
The president indicated desire to
engage in conversations with other
nations about such treaties. believ-
ing considerable good would come
from public concentration upon the
subject.
However, he does not see the way
clear for general conference of the
nations on the subject of outlawing
war. If treaties are to be negotiated,
he thinks they should be made sepa-
rately between governments.
In this connection, Chairman
Borah of the senate relations COM
mitee, today advocated that the
principle of the proposed treaty to
outlaw war between France and this
country be extended to negotiations
with ali other leading world powers,
including Great Britain, Italy, Japan
and Germany. -..---.-
-. While there was no direct COM
ment at the White House on the pro-
posal of Senator Capper, Republican,
of Kansas, that America enter into a
treaty agreeing to abstain from
trading with any nations waging ag-
gressive warfare, it was indicated
that the president saw dangers in
such policy.
Definition Of the word "aggre>sor
was seen az the stumbling block and
it was felt that the necessity Of de-
termining which nation was the ag-
gressor would be apt to lead this
country into actual hostilities.
While negotiations between France
and the United States over the pro-
posal of Foreign Minister BRAND of
France for treaty to outlaw war
are still far from the treaty-nlaking
stage, there is increasing interest in
this subject manifested in congress.
Senator Borah will reintroduce his
resolution proposing a treaty to out
law war and Senator Capper will DO
likewise in a resolution asking also
that action be taken with regard to-
ageressor nations.

BOND OF $1,000 REQUIRED OF
BINGHAM ON ASSAULT CHARGE

The Democrat was slightly in er-
ror IN its report of the Luther Bing-
Ram bad check episode lasr week
Ii is staled that the warrant charg-
ing him with giving bad checks was
issued by Magistrate Stout of Cove
Creek township, who released Mr..
Bingham under 5000 bond. A date
was set for the hearing but Bingham
had it removed from before Mr.
Stout and it was heard before Mag
istrate Smith Mcbride last Friday,
Bingham being ordered to pay the
checks and costs. Magistrate Nc
Bride issued the warrant for Bing-
ham charging assault with deadly
weapon and held him under bond OF
$1,000. Bingham refused to fill the
bond and asked that commitment
papers be issued admitting him to
the county Jail. He was sent to
Boone in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Lee Mast. However, upon arriving
here he went before Magistrate
3. N. Hahn who released him under
$500 bond. He was re-arrested and
required to make the original bond
of 81 900, under which he is now at
liberty. The assault charge grew out
of an alleged attack he made upon
Dewitt Brown, who swOre out the
warrant for Bingham for giving q
bad check.
