Resent
StimsOn Speech
CONTINUED From Page u

Stimson sought tc place the BRAND
Kellogg pact on an impregnable
basis. He Lictured a changing con-
cept Of international law, under
which neutral nations would re-
gard any war as their private con-
Germ.
The Kellogg BRAND treaties sig
nalize "a revolution in human
thought. but they are not the result
of impulse or thoughtless senti-
ment," Sthnson said. AT bottom
they are the growth of necessity
/. human organizations has
become too complex, too fragile, to
be subjected to the hazards of the
new agencies of obstruction :.
war between nations was re-
nounced by the BriandKellogg
treaty This means that it has
become illegal throughout practic-
ally the entire world 1t is no long
er to be the source or subject of
rights. =. it is an illegal thing"
Stimson scoffed at the idea that
the pact was just a pious promise,
not a binding treaty. He held it
needs no sanctions of force" be-
cause it rests on zone of the most
potent sanctions of the world
public opinion.
To those who have insisted that
the fact be supplemented by a
consultative pact" Stimson said
that the Briand-Kellogg treaty
necessarily carries with it the i'm
plication of consultation. This
has been clearly established by the
events of the last three years, he
said, and then recalled that both
party conventions at Chicago
adopted planks endorsing the
principle of consultation"
GENEVA, Aug. 9. U.P)-Secretary
of State StImson's speech touching
on the Sino-Japanese situation
made a profound impression in
League Of Nations circles today.
Secretary Stimson's clear state
ment that the traditional doctrine
of neutrality is not longer tenable,
was linked especially here with the
whole problem Of disarmament and
the unsettled questions Of the far
east.

A widespread protest from MethodiSm
against proposed changes in the churcl,
ritual began to manifest itself Thurs
day. Delegates to the conference re-
ceived communications from all over
the country opposing any alteration.
The protests conferred on proposals
to eliminate the phrase with my
worldly goods I thee endow" from
the marriage service and to substitute
another expression in the burial serv-
ice for "ashes to ashes. dust to dust. .
