AMERICA MUST
BE CONSULTED,
SAYS PBOF.
(Ry Associated Press)
PHIPAPELPHIA, April 23. — Am
erica must champion the right to b«
Consulted and considered in shaplm
international law. declared i’rofessoi
j Roland <!. Usher, of Washington Uni
j vanity, of at. I.amis, in an nddres:
3 <>n "America's Obligation as the Do
,1
s fender of International Right," at thi
T annual meeting here today of the Am
i erican Academy of Political and Socia
3 Science.
"International law ns observed it
21 practice,” he asserted, "consists of thi
y privileges which the six Kuropeat
3 powers mutually extend to each othe
| and of the obligations which they re
M cognize as binding between theraselve
y and in adition, of all such privilege
s and immunities ns they voluntarll;
§ extend to the other so-called nation
1 and of the concessions which the,
M | exact from them.
"There can lie no great, doubt tha
the result of this system Is to define
American rights and American obit
Rations in the terms of European In
terests, and to place the decision in
the hands of the six European powers
acting In concert. We have in prac
tice enjoyed such privileges hs they
have granted. We have, with objec
tions more or less violent and with
protestations more or less loud, been
compelled In the past to acept their
version of our obligations toward
them. Specific rights at sea, such
as are at present in question, we have
commonly enjoyed, though we have
never been In a position to exact or
defend them.
“I must emphasize the Inexpediency
of resistance to the fundamental decis
ions of the great powers. They are
too definitely at one on the main pro
Itortions of the international situation,
and, when united, are too overwhelm
ingly powerful for us to think of suc
cessful resistance. So long as this
Is the syster.'rand so long as the great
European jtowers unite to support it,
we must acquiesce in its existence.
"I would impeach the system my
( j self. The international right Ameri
ca must champion Is the right to be
consulted, the right to be considered
in shaping the basic and fundamental
elements in the International problem,
( the right to insist that the Interna
tional elements In the international
problem, the right to insist that the
international" horizon shall be so
broadened as to include not only the
affairs of Europe, but those of Africa,
Asia and America. The obligation of
America is defense of international
right as I see it, Is to insist that the
definition of international right shall
be international in scope and inter
national In purpose.
"The principle Itself is the vital
thing; that the United States is a ne
cessary elemtn of the international
community to be consulted in all af
fairs of significance. This fact we
must maintain and this fact we must
defend."

ALASKA’S FIRST
LIFE NET IN
CORDOVA
At the regular monthly drill of the
Cordova fire department Saturday af
ternoon the department demonstrated
a Browder life Having net. This par
ticular net la used In all first class
departments, and has always been
found to be up to standard. The net !
Is a device nine feet in diameter and
Is equipped with a series of springs1
which takes up the jar occasioned by I
the jump, the persons jumping feel
ing no jar whatever, and the persons
holding the net only a slight resist
ance. This particular piece of life
saving machinery will prove itself
in any community that has buildings
over two stories in height, and is In
valuable In case of fire in hospitals,
schools, &c. While the jump on Sat
urday was not over thirty feet and
was made by men of average weight,
it was then decided by those who
witnessed it that It was an effe tive
piece of apparatus. Prank Ripley, of
the hook and ladder company, made
the first leap into the net, followed
by Tommy Van, or the chemical com
pany No. 1. The outgoing council
and Chief Dooley are to be compli
mented on the purchase of the net,
as It Is the first net of this kind In
Alaska.
