JAMES T. WILLIAMS, JR.
Seldom is it given, in these
latter days, to either House of
Congress, in spite of much speak
ing, to make an enduring contri-
button to the literature of elo-
Quence.
But the final debate upon the
question of whether the United
States should enter the League
Of Nations through the trap-door
of its private court was marked
by several outbursts of eloquence
that will outlive the Senate's
every member.
The shortest and perhaps the
most impressiv, of these offer
ings came from Senator Bulow
of South Dakota, who broke
long silence to address to the
Senate this simple, straightfor-.
ward, and obviously honest con.
fession of high purpose.
Changed Mind
Upon gaining the recognition
of Vice President Garner, who
was presiding, this man of quiet
courage and firm resolve said:
"Mr. President, had not
intended to speak on the pend
ing resolution, and do not now
intend to speak at any length.
I have no desire to trespaSS
upon the time of the Senate,
but I feel that 1 should take
just a moment or two to ex-
plain the vote which l intend
to cast.
Heretofore 1 have been in
favor of the League of Nations
and of the World Court, but
the reflections of the last year
or two have caused me some
what to change my mind.
have listened to this debate,
heard most of it, and most of
that which / have not heard
/ have read, and I find, so far
as now remember, that every
Senator here who is in favor
of going into the World Court
is only in favor of going into
it provided certain reservations
are made. That leads me to
the conclusion that perhaps it
is dangerous thing to 60 into
the Court.
Conscience Guide
During the more than so
years of my life in a humble
way, often questions have come
to me upon which action had
to be taken; and from that ex.
perience / have realized that my
Creator endowed me with a
something which, for the want
of q better name, We have seen
fit to call a conscience. That
conscience has always pointed
out the road to me.
"If there were two roads to
take, that conscience has always
told me the right and the wrong
road. have not always Obeyed

its dictates, apologies and regrets

followed its dictates, I do not

Ogy that was necessary.

with deep regret that I am
forced to part company with my
Administration. 1t is with deep
regret that / cannot follow my

but my conscience is not vOlun-
