4 converting Of Congress, and
1t is safe to predict that
party lines will be broken.
There is no evidence that the Mac
Donald Labor government of Great
Britain or Japan, France or italy
will scrap any ships built. II, how
ever, the United States suspends its
naval building program and the
United States Army suffers any dras-
tic reductions, then the question be-
comes a national policy and justi-
fies the question, what is this
blind faith that would lay the rich
est nation in the world open to at
tack?"
In England, Premier Macdonald
will be opposed in any attempt to
reduce the present size of the Brit
ish navy or demolish any British
naval bases. Japan, no doubt, will
agree with the opposition of Mac
Donald as it is feared Macdonald
leans toward a radical policy.
The League Of Nations is confront
ed with the battling question of re-
duction of armament in view of the
policy of Soviet Russia, which main
tains the largest army in the world.
The reduction of American forces
at this time seems to meet the ap-
prevail of the Macdonald forces,
which is not consistent with the
military and naval situation of the
world. In the pending congreSsion-
al fight it will be difficult to con-
ceal the World Court advocates who
are determined to leave naval dis
armament to preparatory arms COM
mission of the League of Nations
as another move to force our en-
trance into the World Court, which
could render an advisory opinion on
any question submitted by the
League of Nations.
Paciflsm, liberalism and radical
ism seem to have joined under the
banner of internationalism in an at
tempt to weaken the United States.
This, in turn, is reflected by the pol
icy of the League of Nations to force
this Nation into the League through
the World Court, and any attack on
our military and naval establish
ment, If successful, would put us in
submissive position.
1t is an open secret that the
supporters of internationalism and
pacifism are the World Court advo-
Gates. This is their adopted policy:
SlackerS' oath. World Court propa-
ganda, protection of criminal aliens,
opposition to American rights in for
eign countries, canceling of foreign
debts, opposition to treaty Navy,
communistic propaganda, tariff
tinkering. socialiStic propaganda,
foreign relations meddling, League of
Nations propaganda. anti-prepared-
ness, including military training,
recognition of Soviet Russia, pro-
japanese propaganda and fostering
subversive youth movement. Six
organizations are recognized as I'M
official, but cooperating societies.

Tert OF resolution proposed by Mr..
Shedrer for adoption by Udrious or
CARNATIONS:

eign entanglements regardless of
any reservations whatsoever.
