American system Of government
the President is given the power
to negotiate a treaty. But before
that treaty can become effective
it must receive the approval Of
two-thirds of the Senators present.
This power the Senate has never
surrendered to any President. 1t
was because the Senate was un-
willing to surrender this power
that this condition was included
in it's ratifying resolution when
the League Court protocols were
conditionally ratified five years
ago.
Not Even Mentioned
In the pending protocols this
condition is not met at all. 1t Is
not even mentioned. It is omitted
in it's entirety. Concerning this
condition the pending protocols
are completely silent.
By way of further illustration
of the downright mendacity of the
pretense that all of the Senate'S
reservations, conditions and un-
derStandingS, on which it based its
conditional consent to enter the
League Court five years ago, are
fully met in the pending protocols:
The second condition and un-
derstanding upon which the Sen.
ate gave it's conditional consent
five years ago to enter the League
Court reads as follows:
Resolved further, that adher-
ence to the said protocol and
statute hereby approved shall
not be SO construed as to re-
uuire the United States to de-
part from its traditional policy
of not jntruding upon, inter.
fering with, or entangling itself
in the political question Of pol
icy or internal administration
of any foreign state: nor shall
adherence to the said protocol
and statute be constructed to
imply o REIMBURSEMENT by the
United States of its traditional
attitude toward purely American
questions"
Clark Is Quoted
Read what the Honorable J.
Reuben Clark. eminent American
jurist and dip.omatist, the worthy
successor Of the late Dwigh:
Morrow as Ambassador to Mexico,
q former Solicitor of the Depart.
ment of State and a former
Undersecretary of State, says
about the omission of this vital
condition from the pendin 9
protocols:
"There is nothing anywhere
in any of the Court documents
before the Senate for approval
which either embodies, men,

understanding and yet the
matters covered by it are part

World War Order
Opposes LEAGUE Court

Strong opposition to an Amer
lean alliance with the World
Court was voiced yesterday by the
Military Order of the World War
in a communication to Senator
Hiram Johnson, of California.
Pointing out the order at its
last national convention adopted
a resolution opposing the entry
of the United States into either
the League of Nations or the
World Court, Edwin S. Bethlehem
jr., adjutant general, praised Sen
ator Johnson for his stand against
the Court, and added:
THE military Order of the
World War, made up of those
who served as officers during the
last war, feels it is the sentiment
of the majority of Americans
the United States refrain from
entering any such foreign en-
tangling alliance and, 1 am sure,
you Senators will find such is
the overwhelming sentiment of
your constituents, and any at.
tempt upon the part of certain
leaders to involve us, because Of
a temporary legislative control,
into such action, will certainly
meet with severe accounting by
the electorate, the vast majority

LEAGUE COURT
ASSA|LED BY
GEORGIA VOTE
State House of Representa-
tives Asks U. S. Senators
To Oppose Measure

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 18 0.NSO
The Georgia house Of representa-
tives adopted, 81 to IS, a resolu-
ton declaring against American
entry into the League Court and
asking Georgia'S United States
Senators to vote against American
adherence to the court.
The resolution was introduced
by Representative Hartsfield, Of
Atlanta, while similar measure
was introduced in the senate by
Senator Lester, of Augusta.
The senate resolution must lay
over till Friday, under the rules,
but Senator Lester will press for
a vote then.
A heated debate revealed that
many who opposed the resolution
did so for reasons other than ap-
proval of the court.
AS Representative Hartsfield in
troduced the house resolution, the
gallery burst into applause. He
said:
"NO more popular resolution
has been introduced in Georgia.
The people spoke Overwhelm-
ingly against American entrance
in the senatorial elections"
He said America would have no
part in selecting the court judges
who would decide questions af-
| fecting this nation. The court
he added, is decidedly against the
payment of foreign debts to this
country.
Even the Georgia bonds issued
to foreign countries by recon
Structionday carpetbaggers would
come under court jurisdiction, he
asserted.

Senator Pat McCarran CD OF

the committee a bill to restore 100
per cent Government salaries retro
active to January l, was notified
late yesterday that the Subcom.
mittee would meet today to con-
slider deficiency bill and an invi-

an amendment to the deficiency
measure.
The postponement today, how
ever. will necessitate delay of the

the McCarran amendment proba-

1t was to the advantage Of res

Senator Norris (R) of Ne.

against adherence unless the Sen
ate is given exclusive power to
submit American questions to

Senator Norris broke with the
President on this international
issue, after having campaigned
for him in 1892 and supported
him consistently ever since on
domestic questions. He declared
the terms laid down for Amer
ican adherence would fail to pro

Whispering Campaign
A whispering campaign is now
going on in the Senate the object
of which is to discourage Sena-
tors from speaking against the
League Court, "even if your con-
science compels you to vote
against it," as the whispering
propagandists put it.
Under the circumstances this
effort to Strangle debate on the
League Court is not surprising.
Because speeches which expose
the false pretenseS under which
the ratification of the pending
protocols is requested would
arouse the American people to
the deception which is now being
practiced upon them by League
propagandists.
These utterly false pretenses
are:
First, that the League Court is
not a part of the League.
Second, that the Senate's orig
inal reservations, conditions and
understandings upon which ii
ratified the League Court proto
coils five years ago are fully met
by the pending protocols.
