CHICAGO, February 2 versies and quarrels betw nations are almost certain to arise, “and mere agreements not to have these things happen have been to a large extent futlle,” John R. MeQuigg, national commander of the American Legion, sald la night in a_Washington birthday address here. He addressed the annual dinner of the Combat Medal Men's Assoclation of Chicago. “Lét us remember,” he urged, “that world courts and Hague tribunals cannot accomplish the impossible. They cannot change human nature in the space of a few years. They cannot do away with man’s cupidity nor quench nation's thirst for power and dominion when it thinks it is strong enough to win.” The American Legion has no pa- tience with those well-meaning but misguided people who even now are ing strenuous efforts to palsy the army of America and deprive us of the small defense we have,” said Comdr. McQuigg. “They shut their eyes to the history of our country and ignore all the experience of the past. “So long as the nations of the earth are striving for trade and wealth and commercial advantage, so long as hu- man nature remains substantially as it is, so long as world peace is In the ing, it is our duty to assist by nd methods of our own determina tion in speeding the day when swords 4l be beaten into- plowshares and speurs into pruning hooks and na tions shall learn war no more.

BALTIMORE, February 23.—State’s rights is no longer a party issue, Wil- Uam L. Marbury, former United States district _attorney hers, told members of the Scimeter Club at a luncheon yesterday. Mr. Marbury rea dfrom the Congres- sional Record a portion of a speech by Senator Reed, Republican, of Pennsyl- vania, in which he declared centrali- zation of power in the Federal Govern- ment was a menace to democracy. “If this had been said by a Demo- cratic Senator from the South, you would probably pay no attention to it,” declared Mr. Marbury, “but, com- Ing from a Republican Senator of a Northern State, it shows that state's rights is no longer a party matter.” Local self-government is not only necessary for the States, but in so far as is practical, for each community, it a Republican form of government is to continue in a counrty as large as the United States, the speaker asserted.
