expected it would make war
"violently improbable"; the
economic and arbitration sections
of the covenant, he asserted,
would "keep war on the out-

league had discussed only three
of the twenty-'six articles and had
overlooked the articles which
would make war improbable.

In the preamble to the resolu

government, and declares that it
is only fair that the people be
given an opportunity to judge
"intelligently and impartially
the great problems involved in
such proposed league covenant.
Mr. Newton will press for the
adoption of the measure at an

returning from the Peace Con

theory of internationalism, oi
"Mundanism," which received
great impetus during the war.
constituted a grave . danger to
world order, but expressed hii
conviction that democratic na
tionalism as sanctioned by the
Peace Conference would survive
as the basis of society.
Secretary Lansing urged
strongly the establishment of an
international court as modeled
by thr Hague Convention, and
founded in the principle of strict
legal justice, for the settlement
of disputes between states, and
the codification of international
law into an exact system. He
paid tribute to the Hague Con

though imperfect and hampered
by "the evil purposes which the
powers of Central Europe had so
long secretly cherished,' he said)
still stands as an instrument for
the maintenance of the law of
nations.
Without an international
court and conified laws Secre
tary Lansiug predicted a return
to diplomatic anarchy, since "na

by selfishness than by an altru
