country could not submit any ques-
ton to the tribunal without conclud-

BulOw Makes Speech.
At first it appeared this would
cinch ratification, but Senators John
son and Norris, Republicans, of Ne
braska, said it was merely an attempt
to change votes. Then William j. Bu-
low former Democratic Governor OF
South Dakota, made his first speech
on the floor since he became a Sena-
tor four years ago, expressing what
appeared to be the feeling of many
who only few days ago were ready
to vote adherence. He said he had
changed his mind after listening tC
the debate and finding that almost
every Senator who favored adherence
wanted reservations.

walk with my conscience"

Diplomats In Audience.
Galleries packed with an audience
that included noted diplomats listened
intently to the long debate yesterday
In final appeal to the Senate, Rob-
inson bore down heavily on Father
Coughlin.
"The whole effect and purpose oi
the campaign during the last few day:
has been to terrify those in favor Of

endangers the life or property of 9uI
citizens or involves us in European IN
tanglements.
