7. S. Only Part Would Beto Pay Bill, Borah Says Senator Borah of 1daho, republican, Q@ommenting yesterday upon the Speech of Secretary Hoover in Des Moines advocating the entrance of the United States into the world court, as urged by President Harding, 8ald; “We should either make it a court with some power to it, With Some effectiveness, or we should turn our attention exclusively to the ques- tions which are troubling the Ameri- can taxpayer and the American busi- ness man and the American farmer at this time.” Mr. Hoover, he said, made a “fair and strong’’ presentation from the administration viewpoint of the ad- vantages to be derived from joining the court. but indicated in his address that “the only immediate effect of going into the court, so far as ge ting results from the court is col cerned, is to pay a share of the ru ning expenses of the court” 3 Referring to Secretary Hoover's statement that “all we do, if we ratify President Harding's proposal, is to promlise to pay a share of the running expenses of the court and to take part in the choosing of the Jud enator Borah asserted that “we can not take part in the choos- ing of any judges until 1930 unless someone resigns or dies.” “When it is boiled down,” the sena- tor added, “the great boon to be d rived is the opportunity to pay a part ot the running expenses of a single ‘consent court, a court which has ot been given jurisdiction of any Ivital matter because the European [powers would not consent for it to have jurisdiction.” Senator Borah expressed the opin- ion that “if the court is what Mr. Hoover describes it to be, it is no different from the court which we kave had for the last fifteen years at The Hague and which no government of Europe has ever used in the mat- ter of peace or war.” BORAH ANSWERS CECIL. Declares Every Peace League Is Really War Tribunal. By the Associated Press. i NEW YORK., April 13.—Senator{ Borah of Idaho, replying here last night to the recent league of nations speeches of Lord Robgt Cecil, de- clared his conviction luat no peace league can “function for peace” until war has been outlawed as an institu- on. The present league, said the irre- concilable leader, not only had failed to make war a crime, but had been dominated by governments which had convinced the American people they | do not “want peace upon any terms’ compatible with equality and justice.” | He added that the proper field for || dissemination of a gospel of peace was the old world and not the new. t may seem harsh,” sald Senator | Borah, who spoke at a'banquet of the ! American Paper and Pulp Assocla- | tion, “to say that the governments of | Europe do not want peace upon terms | mpatible with equality and justice | between the natlons. The record Is| there and any one can read it. It i + easily read, for it is written in blood Let us recur to recent history—pass by the more distant past—and speak : only of events since the war. ! “Against the persistent efforts of | the American representatives, th Versailles treaty was made an in strument of war—of dismembermen misery and war. Upon three differ. ent occasions the two leading nations | of the old world financed an invasion ' of Russia in violation of every pre-; cept and principle of peace and in' the face of the solemn pledges in' favor of the principle of territorial integrity. Greece was Incited to war and Turkey was nursed back into) power—arms and money were fur- ! nished by outside governments, with : Mo other apparent object In view ! than that of material gain and do- minion. War Always Chosen. When two coursés were open rela- tive to reparations, one of arbitra. tion and adjustment either through the league or a special conference of friendly powers, the other course, that of force and war, was chosen, chosen in disregard of all conse- quences to peace and in defiance of the dictates of humanity. And to- pight the awful orgy of hate, of destruction and crime proceeds on its bloody way, and not a foreign of- fice in ail christiandom Is willing to record even a moral protest. “During the last three years twelve | countries’ of Europe have resorted to war to settle their disputes at the time they were pledged to arbi- in World Court tration and peace. In all the vital concerns of that continent during the last three years we have seen arbi- tration and conclliation and league pledges passed by and the deliberate, voluntary, unnecessary chosing of force, of war. We have seen every conference, from Versallles to Lau- sanne, break down over the ques- tion of material gain and dominion, of ofl, coal or territory, or else turn l".‘:o a secret conclave for war. “The place, therefore, it seems to us, for ‘missionary work for_ peace Is not the United States, but Europe. This s the record and the people of the United States know it well. They know that a league for peace | made up of governments with such | policies becomes inevitably a league | for war. for spoliation. They know | that councils of peace will inevitably | become councils of war. They wlil | say to the advocates of peace: If| You really want to eliminate war,| why ‘not start by putting the | brand of crime upon tHe institution? | Write into the law of nations that War is a crime, and into the laws of the respective nations that those who | violate the law of nations jn this | respect shall be punished, and then there can be co-operation for peace. | Leaders Go Unpunished. “As things stand today, a ruler, an irresponsible adventurer, a royal maniac may start a war, engulf a| continent in blood and sacrifice the | lives of millions and yet never pass under the denunciation or the lash of the law. Until that standard is| changed no league of nations can iunction for peace. Its makers may | make {t for peace, but those who ex- | ecute it will execute it for war.” | Senator Borah declared that if the | public opinion of the nations of Eu- | rope was able to organize itself, not a | single ministry would be able to stand | against the popular outcry against | war. World peace. he sald, was one | of the crying needs of the present | age, the one appeal from down-trod THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, den masses who looked in vain for a way to rid themselves of the fear of war. The great question, he asserted, was how to get peace, adding that if the people of this country would organize for peace as they had for war a great step would be made in the di- rection of international amity. Solicitor General James M. Beck, whose address preceded that of Sena- tor Borah, pointed out the necessity of intelligent thinking on the part of 'the masses as a step in the direction of world peace. The people, he sald, must be educated to interest them- selves in public affairs as much as they do in sports and the frivols of existence.

Only the mewest colors and color combinations are to be seen: Greens, blues, tans, browns, grays—many with the white tops and colored trousers. The styles include the regula- tion mid}:jy, French middy and button-ons. The sturdy fabrics are government jean, Ppeggy cloth and reps.
