TNwO things-the Kellogg BRAND
treaty and the election Of
Charles Evans Hughes as a
4 member of the World Court
will tend toward an elimination
of the opposition manifested in this
country to our offlcial entrance into the
court, in the opinion of Senator Thomas
j. Walsh of Montana, who addressed
the Womans National Democratic Club
on THE World Court and Its Relation
to-, the Kellogg BRAND Treaty" at a
luncheon held last Monday at the club
house on New Hampshire avenue.
''Mr. Hughes is the outstanding figure
Of the Republican party today" said
Senator Walsh, and therefore, with his
active connection, there will come an
increased confidence in the World Court
in the ranks. of his party, where the
greatest opposition in the past has been
felt.
'"The Kellogg BRAND treaty Is ex-
pecteo to operate toward the same
end" he continued. IF the nations
Of the world do agree to adhere
10 this pact and outlaw war as
national policy, submitting their diff
ferences to a high tribunal of justice,
they must have definite body to SUBJ
nit them to, and the World Court is
tI1dt DOOy. IL SCdICSIy oSCulS AOSLIol,
therefore, that the United States could
adhere to the kellogg BRAND treaty
and refuse ultimately to adopt the
protocol of the World Court. The
question facing the United States for
the future is not Shall We join?' but
On what terms?'
Already we have submitted to the
foreign powers five reservations upon
which we would become oficial MEM
berS of the court, four of which, formu-
lated by MIR. Hughes. met with unani-
nous approval, while the fifth, pro-
posed by the Congress of the United
States, was frowned upon-by certain
powers for reasons best known to them
selves; by our own countrymen largely
because they did not understand the
significance of the issue.
In that fifth reservation the United
States was asking, not the arrogant
Npecial privileges thought by many to
he demanded, but simply rights and
pRiwlegeS equal to those granted the
other Signatory powers under the
League of Nations of which we are not
Q member"
Following up this thought, Senator
Walsh explained in detail the nature of
the rights asked by our Government in
the much disputed nth reservation,
pointing out their necessity In view of
the provisions Of the League of Nations
and the plan on which the Kellogg
BRAND treaty would operate.
The program luncheon at which he
made his address was the first Of
series which will continue into January
with high officials listed as the speakers
on subjects of vital political interest to
the country at present. Senator King
and Admiral Magruder are expected to
talk on Disarmament and the Navy

since 1923 has commanded its most
active support.
Women throughout the country are

Sherwin. league president, said last
week in discussing the leagues program.
1T is our high hope that early and
approving action will be taken on the
pact, which we regard, and believe
rightfully as a most forward step to-
ward permanent peace.
League members in all parts of the
country are expressing renewed hope
that President Coolidges initiative in
making overtureS to the Signatory pow
ers of the World Court protocol may
lead to American membership in the
court. The league was one OF the early
supporters of the World Court move
ment, and looks forward to the day
when the United States will participate
In that international body.
