MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT
TO AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
IN FAVOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MAJORITY COMMITTEE
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10 (by Associated
Press).—Ratification of the peace
“^eraty, including the League of Na
tions covenant, without amendments,
will be recommended by the conven
tion of the American Bar Association
here, August 25 to 27, inclusive. The
recommendation will be in the major
ity report of a special committee ap
pointed to consider the treaty.
The committee which signed the re
port was composed of Edgar A. Ban
croft, of Chicago, William H. Wad
hams of New York, and the late Fred
erick N. Judson, of this city.
Charles Blood Smith of Topeka,
Kan., and Henry St. George Tucket,
^fcbf Lexington, Va., will present a min
ority report, in which they assert
they are “unable to concur” with the
majority committee.
Sections of reports to be presented
at the convention have been received
by members of the local arrangements
committee. The reports treats of
various subjects.
“Your committee is of the opinion
that the treaty, including the pro
posals for a League of Nations, should
be ratified without amendment,” the
majority report on the treaty de
clares. “The world is anxious to re
turn to a more settled condition
which awaits the termination of the
great war. If amendments are pro
posed by the United States, other gov
ernments w'ould undoubtedly propose
amendments, and it is unlikely that
a second conference could produce a
more satisfactory treaty.
‘“It is particularly fitting that the
United States should support the pro
posal for this league. The league is
based upon our own experiences in a
federation of states enjoying liberty
and peace. It has been our high des
tiny to join with our allies in pre
venting the destruction in the life of
the states.
m “Upon entering the war we express
ed it as our desire and purpose to
secure not only for ourselves, but for
all nations of the world, an enduring
peace, based upon those principles of
liberty and of justice which we en
joy. The league is organized for that
purpose. Should the United States
Infuse to enter the league it would
defeat its organization; should the
United States join, it gives the best
assurance of its success.”
Dealing with the subject of amend
ments and reservations, the reports
iterates that amendments are ade
struct to the pact, and emphasizes
that only interpative reservations
should be permitted.
Another report suggests that the
election of the president of the United
States and his inauguration be
brought nearer together, and that the
short session of the old congress be
abandoned.
* The interval between the election
^ and inauguration of a president, this
report declares, is a “serious evil,
fraught with much danger, because, if
an administration is discredited by a
popular vote of confidence, the pres
tige of the government at home and
abroad is weakened and there is dan
ger of humiliation and disaster to the
republic.” The report does not re
commend any other date for the
election or the inauguration.
Recommendation that the making
of rules for the conduct of aviation
1— ~ —~
be held in abeyance until airplanes
become more numerous, is set forth
in another report.
The committee on international law
will present a report which states
that, after outlining developments of
the reconstruction period, it “finds
little to record of wise and final ad
justment or of complete accord.”
Commenting on the meeting of the
organization committee of the per
manent court of international justice
under the League of Nations, the re
port says: “At last a body distinctly
legal, a body of our cloth and profes
sion, is seeking, and is given an oppor
tunity to organize international jus
tice and prepare for its enforcement
in the world.”
A large number of prominent speak
ers are expected to address the asso
ciaton, including Sir Auckland Ger
des, British Ambassador to the United
States; Franklin K. Lane, former
Secretary of the Interior; Albert J.
Beveridge, of Indiana, former United
States Senator, and Judge Ben F.
Lindsey, of Denver. Hampton L. Car
son, of Philadelphia, is president of
the association.
Sections of the association will
meet simultaneously with the parent
organization as follows: Comparative
law, judicial section, legal education,
patent, trade-mark, and copywrite
law, and public utility law.
A number of important allied bodies
also will meet here in conjunction
with the convention. They include
the national conference of commis
sioners on uniform laws, conference
of delegates from state and local bar
associations, association of American
law schools, and the national associa
tion of attorneys-general.
