Hoover Makes k First Defense l of World Court league of Women Voters Hears Administration Re ply to Attacks—Judge Al len Also Speaks. (Continued from rare One.) able to show In Its present mood of distrust, or else because harsh suffer ing has made them more fearful to the menace of war. ‘‘But the adhesion which President Harding proposes to the international court is strictly limited by carefully drawn stipulations which will no doubt bo fully considered by the sen ate. All we do If we ratify President Hardings’ proposal—all the promises wo make—the only obligation we take are these and only these: Terms of Entrance. “W epromlse to pay a share of the running expenses of the court, a mat ter of less than $40,000 a year, and we promise to take part with 48 other nations in the choosing of the judges, i The judges are me nof international reputation, who sit nine years and are freed of all prejudices except to main tain principle and law. “There is another section of op ponents of President Harding's pro posal who condemn the Idea, not be cause they do not agree to Us pri mary purpose and method .but solely because It was erected under the auspices of the league of nations. But ^ we are not by this act entering the league In any sense. The connection of the court with the league is Indeed remote. Its sole relationship is that the judges are selected as provided in its own statute, not by the league, but by the representatives of the na tions to the league acting as an elec tive body for this purpose. It is this elective body that we join, not the league. "To some people, the league Is such anthema that even Its many good acts are bad. let us admit frankly that there are among our people mgny thousands perhaps hundreds of thou sands who, as regards the phrase 'league of nations' are still under the tyranny of emotions associated with that phrase during the political con troversy of tthe last four years. It Is unhappily true that in such con troversies a whrase is given an odium which dlstruhs the orderly march of entirely disassociated Ideas. What they would willingly assent to as a thing standing by Itself they shrink from merely because it has associa tion wdth a phrase. Court American Ides. “There are many people w-lio ap parently maintain an open mind on international co-operation by rear rangement of their prejudices. Tha court is already in exlatence. It is largely the handiwork of American thought and American ideas. For us tc insist upon its being torn down and re-erected just because It was created by a conference called by the league (in Which Americans took part), is ong of the most unseemly uggestions of national selfishness ?■■■! that can he conceived. "Another section of the opponents ( t President Harding's proposal con- j demn it because It does not go far enough; because it has no teeth in ■ it. This is the basas of Senator liorah's objection. I admit the en lightement and the courage of his position. He would have an interna tional cour^ of such strength that it would try w-ar Itself and would have us join it In such a manner that we would he obligated to its juris diction. Senator Borah's Internatlonsl court .in its relation to the nations, would be somewhat an anology to the supreme court of the United States in Ita relation to our states. "Now, by all means, let us have no quarrel—on the contrary, let us have . drniratlon and respect—for those who show the vision and the courage to go this whole distance. But. let us admit that as a practical matter, for reasons familiar to all of you, America Is not ready to go this far. Judge Allen Speaks. The abolition of war as a legal system was advocated and the method in which thsl may he accomplished outlined by Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio supreme court speaking be fore the league. The steps proposed by Judge Allen to accomplish this, are; “That war be outlawed and de clared a crime, under the law of na tions, and that It's use as a means of settlement of disputes he abolished. "That a conference of civilized na tlons be held for the creation and codification of itnernational law on the basis of equity and right. "That a court be established with jurisdiction over alt purely Interna tional disputes as defined by the In ternational code. Make War Crime. "It )» not possible nor necessary to ablish the causes of war before we make war illegal." Judge Allen de clared. "We did not abolish Jealousy, hatred, greed, nor tho other human emotions which give rise to killings before we made murder a crime. "We have certain law* about war hut none against war. There are laws as to how wars shall be made, but they do not formid war. Tho spirit which holds that killing la right, kills women, as well as men, tho old with the young, the little rhildren, the sick as well as the sound, fails to regard hospitals and uses of poison gase». There are atrocities of war, but they pale Into Insignificance beside war which is the supreme atrocity. "Wo should declare that was Is a crime against civilisation and outlaw 1t as such. Cannot Use Force. "The court's decrees must not be enforced by physical power. You cannot eliminate force between na tions by using force. The seeds of hatred sown In using force to repress war are Just a« evil as those sown In tho war which the froce was em ployed to repress. "I.s.ws are not enforced through physical force only. They are also enforced through public opinion. The better part of law enforcement Is done through public conscience. That ^ Is because real laws, which gave a moral basis, are the expression of the moral feeling of the community. Tills desire not to war will finally be the inoei potent force toward peace end hence we should express the luw if for no other purpose than to release M»l# fores.’’ Mathilde McCormick and Max Osier Married Mathilde McCormick. Hjr InDrrsal Umlri. Paris, April 11.—Mathilde McCor mick and Max Oser, her Swiss riding master sweethert. were married se cretly several months ago and have since been traveling about Europe on their honeymoon, according to a re port reaching Universal Service from a reliable source. Intimate friends of both credit the report, asserting that Mathilde and Oser have not officially announced their marriage owing to a fear that either he rfather or mother might de mand that the marriage he annulled, due to the fact that Mathilde was un der age. For the same reason none of Ma thilde's 101111)3108, not even her father, have been acquainted with Mathidle's address since January, when the cere mony is believed to have taken place In a small Italian village on the bor der of Switzerland. To be married In Italy, Switzerland or France, Mathilde either overstated her age or obtained the consent of her parents.
