Mr.. Kellogg had the reputation in

talking things over across a conference

to establish reign of law and respect
for treaties under which the peaceful
settlement of controversies should
eventually supplant the rule of force.
1 believe that ultimately such a reign
OF law will be established and, further
more. l believe that it will begin with
the cooperative action of those ma
tions which, like ourselves, have al
ready become habituated to the prac-
tice of self-government at home and
self-control abroad
At present we are faced with
period of world unsettlement which.
although We are confident that it is
transitory, is nevertheless profound
and disturbing. A spirit of violence
and disregard for treaty obligations is
abroad and, although the governments
to which it is confined are few in
number. they are powerful. Our first
duty must be to preserve the safety
OF our own borders. Upon our expert
ence at home with these traditional
principles depends our confidence in
the same principles for security
throughout the international field
Confidence and strength within our
own borders will also render the most
effective encouragement to those other
nations whose aims are similar to
our own.
Each liberty loving and self govern
ing nation which in the turmoil of
the present stands serene in its own
strength and loyal to it's principles
becomes today veritable strong
point" of defense in troubled world
Between it and it's steadtast neigh
bors can then be begun again the
common structure of international
law snd security for the future. 1t
is not the time for the exhibition Of
untried panaceas or any other evi-
dence of instability of purpose Quiet
confidence in our own principles and
institutions, coupled with ability TO
repel attacks on our own peace, are
the stepping stones at present toward
the ultimate goal for which We all
pray.

-ORMER Secretary of State Henry
l. l. Stimson expressed grave con-
Germ last night over the success
4 of = congressional petition fore
ing consideration in January of the
Ludlow resolution to require popular
referendum before q foreign war could
be declared
The proposal if adopted would not
only revolutionize and destroy our
existing plan for national defense"
he said in . letter to the editor OF
the New York Times, but would
make any system of national de-
fense much less effective If not al
most impossible"
He said the resolution, proposing
= constitutional amendment requiring
. majority vote of the people before
war could be declared except In
event OF an actual invasion, entirely
ignores the power and speed of mod
ern AIR and naval attack as well as
the fragility OF our modern urban
construction and economic organiza-
ton"
The text of Mr.. Stimson's letter
follows:
Last February there was introduced
into the House of Representatives by
Mr.. Ludlow Of Indiana Joint resolu-
ton proposing an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States in
the following terms:
Section l. Except in the event OF
an invasion of the United States or
its territorial possessions and attack
upon Its citizens residing therein, the
authority of Congress to declare war
shall not become effective until con-
flrmed by 4 majority Of allNotes cast
thereon in . Nationwide referendum.
Congress when it deems national
crisis to exist may by concurrent reso-
luton refer the question of war or
peace to the citizens Of the United
States. the question to be voted on be-
ing Shall the United States declare
war on 20 Congress may other
wise by law provide for the enforce
ment OF this section"
That resolution has now been or
dered out OF committee by a petition
signed by 2l8 members of the House.
This action brings it up for immediate
consideration III January.
Revolutionary Measure.
The enactment Of such an amend
ment would revolutionize our historic
and constitutional treatment of the
most important function of our foreign
relations The power to declare war
is placed by the Constitution in the
hands of the representatives of the
people in Congress assembled His
torically, that power has been exer-
cised upon the recommendation Of the
President of the United States. who by
the same Constitution is vested with
the normal control of our foreign re-
lations. through his appointment Of
our Ambassadors. Ministers and for
eien servants. The war-making power
has thus been controlled by carefully
devised system Of representative gov
ernment concentrating responsibility
! upon those leaders. Doth executive and
legislative. who from their official
duties are presupposed to have IA
miliarity with the relations and proo-
lens existing between this country and
its neighbors. 1t is based upon the
