or in the Senate, and cannot con-
ceive that it will be. 1t is an interna-
tional matter of worldwide Importance
The promotion of world peace is an
ideal common to all civilizations. 1t is
not the prerogative of any one country
or any one group within a country
The treaty was signed by is nations
and 30 more have already signifled thel
intention to adhere to it. There Is
every indication that it will be accepted
by every nation in the world"
