War on Senate Secrecy Old


has been numerous enough to make it
obvious that no Senator could be ex-
PEELED for revealing secret business
procedure which would require two
thirds vote. Hence, the reluctance Of
the majority leaders to start any real
investigation of the numerous leaks
which have plagued them. They real
lied that even II they found out how
the secrets were being revealed 1t
probably would be impossible for them
to do anything about 1t.
It Is not q slur on the Senate to init
mate that Senate secrets are revealed
by Senators themselves. There have
been Investigations In years past when
executive proceedings were revealed,
and in every case in which the source
of the information was ascertained 1t
was found to have been a member of
the Senate. Back in 1914 one Senator
came very close to expulsion for making
treaty public, but he was finally let
of with reprimand.
Another Solemn Farce.
A particularly solemn farce was en-
acted during the famous sugar investi-
CATION of few decades ago. A news
paper man was arrested on order of the
Senate and called before committee
for questioning AS to where he obtained
certain supposedly secret information.
When he refused to answer he was Kept
under arrest for several days. The ar

territorial waters" The United States
also claims exclusive Jurisdiction over
certain land-locked extensions of the
sea, such as Chesapeake Bay.
So to this extent. at least. the seas
are not lawless. Within three miles OF
its coast the United States considers
the ocean as part of its territory and
subject to its Federal laws. Persons
born on merchant ships within this
limit theoretically are born in the
United States. regardless of the nation
atty of the ship. Marriages and con-
tracts within this limit are entered into
under the laws of the United States.
Most other countries take the same
position. 1t seldom seriously has been
challenged.
Courts Given Jurisdiction.
Congress in 1894 gave Federal dis
trict courts jurisdiction over COM
plants by whomsoever instigated in
cases of captures made within the
waters of the United States or within
a marine league of the coasts thereof"
With certain insignificant exceptions
the Scandinavian countries maintain

nation claims absolute control. Else

heritance Of all people" so long as the
use made of them is not obnoxious or
dangerous to some nation powerful
enough to assert It's authority.
Once outside the three-mie limit We
are in the maze of apparently incon-
sistent precedents.

that have not passed out of sight en-
tirely, either in peace or war.
The fundamental rule was laid down
in 1855 by Cornelius van BlynkerShock,
judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Holland. He said Emporium terrae
finiri ubi flnitur armorum potestas" (the
control OF the land ends where ends
the range Of its arms. Modified by
numerous interpretations, refinements
and adaptations to special conditions,
van Blynkershock's opinion remains to
this day the basis of civilized practice.
Basis OF American Policy.
A few years later it was interpreted
by an Italian juriSt to mean the range
of cannon shot from land-a dis
lance set arbitrarily at one sea league
or about three miles. The rule was made
the basis Of American policy by Thomas
Jefferson when he was Washington's
Secretary of State. In identical notes
to the British and French Ministers he
wrote: THE greatest distance to which
there is any respectable assent among
nations has been the extent Of human
sight, estimated at upwards OF 20 miles,
and the smallest claimed by any nation
whatsoever Is the range Of q cannon
ball, usually stated at one sea league"
He indicated his own intention to abide
by the lower limit.
The United States never has wan
dered far from this principle. SO far
as any claim to control over the seas
is concerned. In treaties entered into
with Great Britain. Germany. the
Netherlands, Cuba and Panama between
1924 and 1925 the contracting nations
express their firm intent to uphold
the principle of three marine miles.

During the last 10 years our finance
and our business have acquired pretty

branches. But while the masters OF

1t may be, as many maintain, that
America Is. economically as we'll ss po-
litically speaking, self-suff1cient: that
our home market is large enough, our
home opportunities great enough to alb
serb all our production and occupy all
our capital. In that case. we shall pres
emily cease to lend money abroad and
gradually restrict our exports. In such
case our legislators need have no con-
Germ for the effect of their decisions
upon the world at large, because the
world will have no means of reprisal.
But today this is far from the situa-
ton. Moreover, since the World War
we have increasingly and with growing
success entered the foreign markets.
But all our success has been without
any political cooperation. Our business
and finance have succeeded not with,
but in spite Of, our politicians. And now
we have come Squarely up against sit

that this lack of cooperation may lead

In any event. the new tariff laws are
going to supply one of the most inter-
esting experiments in history. They
are based upon the conception that it
is possible at one time to keep foreign
goods out Of our markets and retain and
even increase our sales In foreign mar
kets. They assume that Europe has to
buy Of us and we have no need to buy
Of Europe. They assume that what we
have lent and may lend to Europe can
be paid back In some fashion other than
by goods directly. In word, they give
the lie to all past theories and issue a
direct challenge to all nations; and all
nations are increasingly considering the
possibility Of taking up the challenge.

GOldsmith's Claim
As Doctor Puzzling

Trinity College, which educated
Oliver Goldsmith, has this year been
celebrating his bicentenary. The college
is puzzled by Goldsmith's claim to a
medical degree. In his first book he de-
scribed himself as a bachelor of medi-
cine, but the college records contain no
trace of such degree having been con-
ferred. his only degree being that Of
bachelor Of arts.
He is known to have supplemented
his income from writing by practicing
medicine, and it was supposed that he
must have obtained medical qualifica-
ton at some Of the continental univer-
sites which he visited in his travels.
The records Of several universities
have been searched and fail to show
any qualification for Goldsmith. It was
once proposed that he should be given
an appointment as medical ofdcer in
the East India Co. at Coromandel, but
the appointment was ultimately can
celed on the ground that he was not
qualified.
The legend that as a boy Goldsmith
was dull and stupid can be refuted from
the Trinity College, Dublin, records. At
the age of Is he was admitted to the
college as a sizar or poor scholar, and
the examination for that privilege was,
and is, so stiff, especially in Latin and
Greek, that Goldsmith's intelligence at

Is Japanese Villages
Prohibit Use of Liquor

While it will be some time before
Japan as a nation has prohibition law,
it is noteworthy that there are IS VIII
lagos which have passed regulations
forbidding the drinking Of alcoholic
liquors. Many of these determined to
drive out the use Of sake, national drink,

1926. It's principal reason was that q
new school building was needed and
that one of the best ways of making
this possible would be to save the largest
single item of expense In the village life.
The Schoolhouse which the sake built
cost $4,000, and the village estimated
that by spending nothing for drinks for
five years this sum would be saved.
Some farseeing residents are already
discussing what the village can provide
itself from the fund saved after the
school is paid for. There are many
other towns and villages which have

refused payment. The ships owners
maintained that the fact of having
approached within four of five leagues
of the Brazilian coast did not consti-

intention may have been.
U. S. Supreme Court Ruling.
The case went to the United States
Supreme Court and the insurance COM
pany was upheld in an opinion rem
dered by Chief Justice Marshall. as
follows: The right of a belligerent to
search a neutral vessel on the high
seas for contraband of war is univer-
sally admitted because the belligerent
has the right to prevent injury being
done to itself by assistance intended
for the enemy. So. too, a nation has
the right to prohibit any commerce
with its colonies. Any attempt to vio-
late the laws made to protect this right
Is an injury to itself, and 1t has the
right to use means necessary for pre-
vention. These means do not appear to
be limited in any certain, marked bound
aries. II they are such as unneces-
Sarily to vex and harass foreign COM

Three years later, under almost iden-
teal circumstances, the French seized

case the Senate rules committee actu-
ally went through the motions Of start

he got his information. He promptly

No one at all familiar with the situa-
ton had any idea that any attempt

such an inquiry-if uccessful-might
be very embarrassing for members OF

oath to keep secret. There are just
two sources from which such informa-
ton can come: A Senator or one OF
the very few Senate employees who are

Such is the statement Of Senator
