Mr.. SteiWer said the issue raised
by the Norris amendment was
"just as important as the issue of

United States Senators, and the
Senate itself, to keep the country
free from entangling alliances

The anti-League court resolu-
tion, adopted by the house, was
directed to President Roosevelt,
Vice President Garner, United

Lewis and William H. Dietrich,
from Illinois, and the United
States Senate.
The only protest to an imme-
diate vote came from the Demo
cratic side of the House, and was
manifested in efforts to foreStall
a vote.
Pressure Is Seen
From indications, observers
concluded that considerable last
minute influences from a source
close to the Administration was
exerted to put the resolution to

appointed.
Representative Elmer Schnack.

adoption Of the resolution as a

Senate debate on United States
adherence to the League Court
was carried to the rostrum of
the tenth annual conference on
the cause and cure of war today
when Senator James P. Pope
CD of Idaho urged entrance by
this country.
Speaking before approximately
1000 delegates representing II
national women's organizations at
the Hotel Washington, the Sen
ator based his argument on the
fact that, although not actually
a member, the United States is
fully cooperating" in the &C
tivities Of the League Of Nations
Cites Successes
Despite the intimations Of previ
Gus speakers at the conference
that the League Court has failed
in many attempts at Cancellation
of disagreements between nations
Senator Pope told the conference:
Its fair and impartial treat
ment of "a cases involving in
ternatiOnal situations, any one
Of which could have resulted in
war, has proved its value as an
instrumentality for world peace"
Leonid M. Tolokinski, consul
general in New York of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics, out
lined to the delegates several
reasons for the RusSia's desire
for peace, declaring that country
"is against war because it would
delay and destroy our efforts in
building up a new society,"" He
said further:
1--WE do not want war. We
have no desire for conquest
for foreign territory and we
have every wish not to have
thrust upon us the duty of
evicting an invader from our
own territOry-not to subject
our new factories and collective
farms and our new cities to the
enormous destruction and waste

LABOR AIDE TALKS
Miss Mary Anderson, director
of the Women'S Bureau of the
Department of Labor, spoke on
the interrelation Of exploitation
of labor and war which she de.
scribed as "a vicious circle, rooted
in greed and selfishneSs."
Declaring that the real causes
Of war arise from the attempts
of governments to secure trade,
natural resources and territory
for expanding populations at the
expense of other nations, Miss
Anderson declared that these acts
are closely allied with problems
involving labor throughout the
world.

So it is with the Senators who
are making a brave and honest
fight to prevent the plunging of
the United States into the League
of Nations through the trap-door
of its private court.
These Senators have at least
succeeded in keeping the record
straight.
These Senators have not been
intimidated into silence through.
out the debate either by fear of
propagandists, or the lash of the
party whip.
These Senators have not been
sweated into silence by a lust for
patronage or by a greedy desire
to get more than their share of
political pork when the distribu.
ton of the 1000 millions of dollars
IN public works projects soon be-
gins.
Have Kept Faith
These Senators, who are de-
batting bravely and honestly each
and every one of the vital issues
raised by these emasculated League
Court protocols, have not only
kept the record straight. They
have also kept faith with them.
selves and with their constituents,
the plain people of their respective
States. And these Senators by so
doing have kept the faith they
pledged when they took the oath
of office that every Senator is re-
quired to take in the sight Of God
and man.
BY keeping the record straight
these Senators, who have patient
ly and fearlessly examined and
expounded the intricate commit
ments involved in these emaScula-
ted protocols, also have exposed
to the public and written into the
annals Of the Senate the sordid
story of the cowardly conspiracy
to intimidate the Senate and to
deceive the American people.
This conspiracy has been hatch
ing for years and one of its chief
nesting places has been the De
partment of State under both So
called Democratic administrations.
Well Laid Plan
Year by year, ever since the
Covenant of the League of Ma
