The influence which the accused, with his grandiose schemes, necessarily involv. ing rapid promotion, has had on these habits of thought is not hard to dis- ce Replies to “Slurs In paying his respects to Represent- ative Frank R. Reid of Illinois, chief civilan defense counsel, Maj. Gullion declared: ““Some things have been said counsel upon this floor in attempt- reflection on the American Navy which 1, as an American Army offi- cer, resent. Holding no authority from | the Navy, nevertheless I shall, to the limit of my poor powers, reply to these slurs.” The “slurs” were cited by the major from the record, and concerned questions asked Comdr. H. C. Rich- ardson, of NC-3 transatlantic flight fame: Comdr. John Rodgers of PN-9 Paclfic flight renown, and Lieut. Comdr., Richard E. Byrd of Arctic fly- ing prominence. The questions asked these three officers were if thew had made failures of their particular projects. “The conclusi tinued Ma meant to taunt and, through them ures. Does he not know that many pioneer before the goal is reached? Do the vision. the couraze and the hard- ship of these foundation:a! efforts mean nothing to him?” Maj.

He is a good flyer, a fair ride 1 shot flamboyant, self-adv wildly imaginative, destructive, never con- structive, except in wild non-feasible schemes, and never overly careful as to the ethics of his methods. “Mitchell Formula.” “This court has had opportunity to {study those methods, not only as re | vealed in_ his statements of Septem- {ber 5 and 9. but also in his former statements which his counsel has read ‘lnlo the record. All of these state. ments, made over, a period of years, follow what we may term the Mitchell formula “First. Exaggeration of national de- fense matter closely approaching falsehood. “Second. Untrue snd misleading statements for the deliberate purpose of discrediting Army and Navy off cers, thus “Third. Creating distrust in minds of people as to War and Navy Depart- ments. “Fourth. Egotistic as to experience and coupled with “Fifth. Protestations of absence of self-interest and expressions of wil- lingness to be, and expectation of be- ing, a martyr, all leading to “Sixth. A united air service, with Seventh. Willlam Mitchell as the logical head of it. That is the formula he had fol- lowed. Every demagogue has follow- ed a similar one, protesting unselfish- ness and secretly seeking self-aggran- dizement, as he dppealed directly to the people over the heads of consti- tuted authority. * * * Must Be Dismissed. “Would an admonishment fit the of. fenses of which the uccused has been clearly proven guilty? - For making statements which his counsel read into the record, statements similar but not as bad as those of September 5 and 9, the accused’s chief, Gen. Pat rick, recommended that he be admon ished. Enecouraged by such leniency, the accused has now gone to the un forgivable extreme. Would a repri mand be appropriate?

For more than a half century we have been the leading advocates of a world court, and to its creation our ablest statesmen and Jurists have devoted their best efforts.

Is the Senate to reject a World Court assented to by 45 na-| tions, which court has been substan- | tially constructed on the plan of the court which at The Hague conference of 1907 the United States offered to the world? Have we no pride in es- tablishing a reputation for consist- ency and sincerity?

The | league enacts no law, no rule, no reg- | ulation governing the court The league has no power whatsoever to | modify in any respect the statute of | the court.

Loses No Independence. The United States, Senator Swan- son said, loses no whit of its inde pendence of action by adhering to the World Court. The court, he said, has compulsory jurisdiction in certain cases v ‘arise with regard to other but only because it has been civen this jurisdiction by the ratifica- tion of certain treaties by those : tons, as in the case of the recen arro treaties. The United States, Lowever, will become only a voluntar. suitor in the World Court if the re: lutior before the Senate is adopted. In order for the court to have juris’ diction in any case affecting the | United States, he said, it would be | necessary for the President to enter into an agreement with some other nation to submit the matter to the court. This agreement when negoti ated by the President would have to be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate. There is no other way under the Constitution that agreements with foreign nations may be made by this | country. Monroe Doctrine Status. Senator Swanson scouted zestion that the Monroe doctrine would suffer in any way from adher- ence of the United States to the World Court. He pointed out that the United States has alreary adhered to the | Permanent Court “of Arbitration at The Hague, and that it has never been held that the Monroe doctrine suffered from such action He added, however, that “if it will bring relief and composure to troubled minds,” he himself had no objection to a declaration upon the traditional Monroe doctrine of the United States | at this time and in connection with the adherence of this country to the World Court i Senator Swanson there alread exis ate. | | | the sug insisted that | a well defined| ok " BUYING a Home in Devon.
