PEACE THRU GENERAL ACCORD
Speaker One cf the Rest Ever Heard
in This City on International
Questions of the Day.
From Tuesday's Daily
Despite the fact that the most win
try conditions were prevailing last
evening over the city there was a
very closely interested and apprecia
tive audience present at the public
library auditorium to hear Hamil
ton Holt, noted editor and lecturer,
who had come to this city spreading
the tidings of international peace
and good will.
The meeting was presided over by
Attorney D. O. Dwyer who introduc
ed the speaker in a few well chosen
words.
The speaker, Mr. Holt, arrived a
few minutes after S
! 1. 1 .
accompanied oy uev. ana .Mrs. t . tu. t
the city.
"What we need at the present hour
is someone in control cf the foreign
affairs of the Lnited States ith the JX
LUUI du Ul IU C L i L , liic uuiuami j
of Taft. or the vision of Wilson."
This was the statement made by
Hamilton Holt, vice chairman of the
executive committee of the League
of Nations Non-Partisan Association
in his address. "The danger in Eu
rope today is r.ot so much revolution
as dissolution," he continued. "Civ
ilization is literally evaporating.
"Wise men told me in i. Europe last
summer that Europe is returning"' to
another "Dark- Ages.'. . If old Eng
land had not been standing" In" the
breach while we have been playing
on the side lines. I do not know
where Europe would be today. Yet
for every man we lost in the war
England lost 20 and France lost 30."
Mr. Holt's lecture was a plea that
the United States enter the existing
League of Nations and the perma
nent Court of International Justice,
which he said was the best brief for
mulation he could offer, was this:
"This league i3 a scheme whereby
sovereign nations can . act together
unanimously better than they other
wise could." The only two Import
ant words in the definition were
"sovereign" and "unanimous." "How
any nation could lo.-e its sovereignty
who joined the league was beyond
the comprehension of every member
of the assembly I met in Geneva."
said Mr. Holt. "Indeed, if any
Vnited State senator had votd to
bring the United States into a league
that in any respect violated our ron
stitution he could have been im
peached for treason, for the only peo
ple who can change the American
constitution are the American peo
Ie. No foreign people or league can
do it and any senator who voted to
permit it would have violated h:!
oath of office.
"When the league acts it can only
act unanimously in other words,
only as far and as fast as nation:,
can aaree on wavs and means. Otic
wnnlH net tliinlr under tho Mi-mim.
stances." said Mr. Holt, "the pace
would be so dizzv as to cause many
natiors to swoon. The leae-ue thpr.
fore is noi a suner cnvBrnmont. Tf
cannot compel, enforce or even legis
late. In every instance its function
is to recommend, to advise and to
propose."
Mr. Holt then took up the, two
m
ain functions of the league ths
prevention of war and the promotion
of progress. Already since the es
tablishment of the league on Febru
ary 10. Ifi20. much has been done
along both lines. There are wo
main orgins of the league already
fnrctifiniro' drcio-nd tr rnmnrKP in-
ternationaf differences the court to
fettle justiciable questions and the
council to settle non-justiciable or
political questions. Already the court
has rendered seven opinions and one
case i3 still on the docket. It will be
remembered that when the United
States supreme court was set up no
contested case came before it for two
and one-half years. But the world
court is already going strong. The
establishment of this court has been
the aim of every American adminis
tration, both republican and demo
cratic, for the past 30 years. And
now it owes is being largely to the
genius of an American Elihu Root.
The palace at The Hague in which
it sits was given by another Ameri
can Andrew Carnegie. And one of
its present judges is another great
American. John B. Moore. In fact.
J1! m"? fU,f!"3 lrOPKCyr.,f
that old Connecticut blacksmith, Eli-
hu Burritt. who said three genera
tions ago that when it came into ex
istence it would be the highest court
of appeals this side the bar of eter
nal justice.
"The council." declared Mr. Holt,
"has already taken cognirance of six
major cases, every one of which
threatened war and every one of
which has been settled by peaceful
means. These were issue between
Sweden and Finland over the juris
diction of the Aaland Islands, the
boundary dispute in Upper Silesia,
between Germany and l'oland, the
attempted invasion of Albania by
Serbia, the bombardment of a Per
sian port by the fleet of soviet Rus
sia, the Lithuanian Poland dispute
and last September the Italian-Greek
dispute which threatened at one time
a European war and even the break
down of the league."
"There has been much confusion of
thought on the position of the league
in the Corfu dispute. Many people
throughout the world seem to think
the league is a sort of super-state
which imposes or claims the right to
impose itself as an arbitrator of all
international disputes. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. The pri
mary duty of the league under Ar-
ticlo X to XVI of the covenant is to
bring about a peaceful settlement by copal church, who offered the invo
the best available means in the eir- ration: Rev. II. Kottich. Dastor of
cumstances. If the dispute can be ,
settled through the ordinary chan-1
neis or aipiomacy, so much the bet
ter. If diplomacy fails, then
conciliation, arbitration, or
settlement. Whether this takes)
place under the ausnices of the
league of nations or not is quite im
material. "It is evident, therefore, that the
first duty of the league is to extend
its good offices. The second is to
make the settlement itself. The third
duty if it be a duty at all, as there
is no specific declaration in the cov
enant on the matter is to pro
nounce judgment and assess euilt.
l ti u Act luc wiuu iuuuu:i v. i; li. il III;;
critics have in mind when they speak
of the league as having 'side-stepped'
the issue and 'lost its prestige.'
"I could not help looking at the,
wondered if my fellow-country-
men were proud of the Tact that we
had no representative present at that
critical hour to make our voice heard
with brave little Belgium, with
Sweden and with our own American
neiehbor Uruguay. Are the Ameri
can people reallv satisfied to main-!ttrs
tain silence in this struggle between
the new order and the old for the
control in international affairs? I
m sure that we could have at at
that council table without danger to
cur sovereignty and without any
military or financial obligation, and
yet have played the dominant role
there."
Mr. Holt concluded his enumera
tion of the things accomplished by
the league by reciting the story of
how tte league's experts set the lit
tle kingdom of Albania on her feet,
and hew the league had been work
ing to mitigate the truly pitiable lot
of the intelectual workers of the
stricken nations in Europe, and how
the league's efforts for financial and
economic rehabilitation had resulted
in much substantial progress along
these lines. Nothing that Mr. Holt
eaid showed off the league's activi
ties to better advantage than tnot
truly remarkable work undertaken This morning Judge James T. Beg
bv the league to save Austria from ley, the distinguished and popular
the fate of Russia by getting their j
bankers to loan Austria 650 million
gold crowns to tide her over while
the necessary fiscal and administra
tive reforms were being put in prac
tice. As a result Austria is the only
candle lit in the dark and murky
gloom of Europe, as Dr. Alfred Zim
merman, the league's agnt at Vien-
na to supervise the rehabilitation of
Austria. told Mr. Holt. Such was
Mr. Holt's etory in brief. He con
duled with a plea for America to
forget her partisanship and to play
her pirt again in peace, as nobly as
she ilid in the war.
"We are the nation tbft has the
mOSt," Said Mr. Holt, "and
we are
literally doing the least.
"When our forefathers met at In
dependence Hall more than one nun
drfi vears ago, they took no coun-
pel of cowardice, but mutually pledg
ed their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor to the document
they framed. And what happened?
The United States of America hap-
pe?.'
So if we, in this great world cri
sis, take no counsel of cowardice, but
mutually pledge our lives, our for
tunes and our sacred honor to the
great Declaration of Inter-dependence
embodied in the covenant of the
league of nations, then the United
Nations of the world will happen.
competition on earth, peace will fol
low and our boys, whose blood red
dens the fields of France, will not
have died in vain."

members of the bar and the citizens
in general who have found in the
genial jurist a fearless and just
judge at all times and under all cir
cumstances. The ability of Judge Begley has
led many of the members of the bar
over the etate to urge him to file fc
a place on the state supreme court
bench, but the insistence of the mem
bers of the bar and his friends here
in the home district has been heeded
and Judge Begley decided to again
enter the rare for the position that
he has filled to the great satisfac
tion of everyone. There has been
no more just or faithful member of
the bench in the 3tate than Judge
Begley and his return to the office
of district judg will bring assur
ance to all of the residents of the
district that their liberties are safe
in his hands and their rights safe
guarded in matters of litigation that
are tried In his court.
The general demand that has been
made over the district for the filing
of Judge B?gley makes it very prob
able that ho will be h6nored by a
unanimous re-election to the bench.
