Shotwell of Columbia, one of the authors of the American plan, at the Saturday discussion of the National Republican Club. Prof. Shotwell said in his address that the three means by which Amer- might perate in an interna- tiional movement to outlaw war were the permanent court of international justice, participation in recurring in- ternational conference and assocla- tion with the League of Nations Prof. Herbert Adams Gibbons of Princeton took issue with Prof. Shot- well on several important points. He said he resented the insinuation that isolationists were narrow Americans. America’s first interest in the pro- tocol, the league and other interna- tional arrangements, he sald, was to insure its own security. In turn Representative Theodore E. Burton attacked the views of Prof. Gibbons that America’s first thought must be of its own security. We are interested in what happens in the remotest part of the world,” said Representative Burton, “With the wires flashing the news from one continent to another, I can not quite agree to the proposition that our own security and our bound- arles set upethe horizon to which our interests are confined.” United States Senator Medill MeCor- mick maintained that detachment from European complexities and at- tachment to American independence makes alike for American security at home and influence abroad. He asserted that the United States Sen- ate on numerous occasions had stood staunch for the traditional American policy of mnon-entanglement when Presidents and statesmen had fallen into lapses on that question. o Deaths Reported.
