Show KELLOGG AGS! MARES ATTACK 01 PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Dec. I Creation of a loaguo of nations to maintain peace not a super-government to dominato and interfere with nations' internal affairs af-fairs but" a world tribunal for arbitration arbitra-tion of international disputes was advocated ad-vocated by Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, Min-nesota, Republican, in an address today to-day in the senate. In tho course of his remarks Senator Sen-ator Kellogg expressed regret at what he characterized as the lack of disposition dispo-sition of President Wilson to deal moro frankly with the peoplo and the senate regarding his views on problems coming com-ing before tho pence conference. "I believe the time has come," ho said, "to try to establish a league to prevent war and enforce peace which may not be entirely preventive, but, backed by a world public sontlment, will have a tremendous influence toward to-ward maintaining just and equitable relations between nations and preventing prevent-ing the horrors of war. "No league of nations can succeed unless it Is originated in and sustained by an honest public sentiment of the peoples Involved and unless the governments gov-ernments Joining in such a league are responsive to tho people The condi- tlons exist today to a greater extent than over before." Turning to concrete plans for a league 61 nations, Senator Kellogg said unless Germany evolves a government responsive to popular will and with a people having ideals and aspirations different from those of the past regime, regi-me, there must be a league of nations to "see that Germany is rendered powerless pow-erless to renew the contest." Another important step. Senator Kellogg said. Is abolition of the system sys-tem of secret treaties and alliances. The new treaties, he said, should bo "made in the open." |
