WOODROW WILSON'S MEMORY HONORED: Distingiushed Audience at Service Paying Tribute to Late President. A distinguished audience paid homage to Woodrow Wilson as the founder of the League of Nations and piogeer in the present world peace movement at memorial_exercises yesterday afternoon under auspices of the Woodrow Wilson Foundatipn committee of Washington. Dr. Chitles Kingsley Webster, holder of the Woodrow Wilson chair of inter- national relations at the University of Wales and professor of history at Har- vard University, the principal speaker, declared that without Wilson's pioneer work the League of Nations and the present world movement for peace would be confined chiefly to learned books by professors. It was Wilson, he said, that made the Leegue “a living, | organized moral force.” | Joint Anniversary Service. The occasion was a joint observance of the seventy-third anniversary of Wil- son’s birth and the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the League of Nations at Geneva. Members of the diplomatic corps, Government officials and former intimate friends of the war President were in the audience at the Tribunal Furnishes “Dignified land Just Agency” for Settling Disputes, Says Senator. Democratic Leader Pleads| for U. S. Adherence Before Departure for London. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 6.—Reply- ing to critics of American adherence to the World Court, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, said in an address here last night that the moral _effect of the court “will be to promote a spirit and disposition of tolerance and good will.” Speaking under_the auspices of the | Rodeph Shalom Sisterhood of Phila- delphia, Senator Robinson, one of the American delegates to the London Naval Conference, asserted that the court “furnishes a dignified and just agency for contracting the nations that are in trouble and tends to substitute a reign of law for the reign of force which throughout history has prevailed.” “While it is absurd to claim, or even to hope,” he added, “that the Perma- nent Court of International Justice will prove effective in all cases where inter- national ill will and hatred exist, his- tory justifies faith in its value as one of the factors which can be relied on to mitigate animosities and to decide issues National Theater. where the exercises | were held. | A telegram was read from the presi- dent of the Woodrow Wilson Founda- | tion, Newton D. Baker of Cleveland. | Ohio, Secretary of War in the Wilson | cobinet. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was in Philadelphia _attending the memorial meeting held there, which was con-| ducted by Gen. Smuts of South Africa. The chair reserved for her was occupied | by Lady Louise Montague, the brilliant | woman playwright. | Members of the Wilson, Galt and| Bolling families occupied the box on | the lower left and a large section of the | orchestra was reserved for the Ambas- sadors and Ministers of nations mem- bers of the League. Charles S. Hamlin, former governor of the Federal Reserve Board, presided and delivered a brief eulogy of Wilson in_introducing Dr. Webster. Rev. Dr. Robert Johnston rector of St. John's Episcopal Church, delivered the invocation. Dr. Webster's Tribute. Dr. Webster declared that the steadily | growing influence of the League of Na- | tions is Wilson's greatest justification | and reviewed the events at Paris that | resulted in the peace treaty and the es- | tablishment of the League as an in- | strument to prevent future wars. | Denying that Wilson had bartered | away American rights to gain the| League, Dr. Webster pointed out that he kept the primary interest of this country. that of finances, intact. After all, he asserted, peace was to the inter- est of the whole American people and in clinging to the principles involved in the League of Nations, Wilson was adhering to American interests through- out the world. “Woodrow Wilson invented a new method of international dealing,” the speaker said. “Nineteenth _century diplomacy was strictly secret diplomacy,” he said. “Now all secret treaties have been abolished and every diplomatic negotiation is so open and aboveboard | that suspecting persons have to fabricate their grounds for suspicions. “Under the policy inaugurated by the | League small nations can now, for the | first time, receive financial assistance without jeopardizing their political in- dependence, and asserting their rights.” History, he declared, undoubtedly will say that if the League had not existed England would not have recognized the rights of Ireland. He cited the estab- lishment of the Irish Free State as a| shining example of what the League has done and is still doing to help the people of small countries. | Wilson's Statesmanship Praised. In his appraisal of Woodrow Wilson | and his work, Dr. Webster said that| America’s war President stood head and | shoulders above other statesmen of the | world during that period. “Wilson was a historian,” he contin- ued, “and worried little concerning his place in history. He was both a great and a good man. Like all great men, he stood alone. As a result of the League covenant, he did more for the revention of war than any man in history.” ‘The mass meeting was the first of its kind sponsored by the local committee, | of which Frederic A. Delano is chair- man. Other anniversary meetings have taken the form of dinners. Mr. Hamlin referred ! prominence in histor one that grow: brighter with the passing of time. “He lived for peace on earth, good will to | men.” he added. Wilson’s record in public life, Mr.| Hamlin declared, not only places him | ?mong the greatest of American Presi- | cents, but also among the greatest ben- | efactors of the human race.

S. Signs Protocol. The revised protocol of the World | Court, providing for American ad- herence, has been signed by the United | States and the only stcp remaining is | ratification by the Senate. The pro-| tocol has not yet been submitted to the Senate by President Hoover and no in- dication has been given as to when this will be done. Discussing the objections that Ameri- can adherence involved a repudiation or modification of the policy of avoid- ing European entanglements, and that no process was available to enforce de- sions of the court, Robinson said the effectiveness of the court largely was dependent upon the good faith and good will of the litigants and that compul- sory agencies would seldom be required to give effect to its decrees. Voluntary Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction as to the United States would be voluntary, and this country would be at liberty to withdraw without penalty if the court persisted in render- ing an advisory opinion over objections, he said, adding that, in view of this, “it is difficult to see how any ‘entangle- ment’ can result, unless one chooses to affirm that we will have nothing to do with the troubles of other peoples and determine every question in which our- selves and other nations are concerned without regard to their viewpoints or interests.” Robinson said that commercial ex- pansion and quick’communication were making international relations more complicated and that it was doubtful that “a more modest arrangement” could be set up through which the United States could contribute to the promotion of peace. Discussing the objection that the court would make, rather than inter- pret, international laws, Robinson said the task of working out a code of in- ternational law and securing its ap- proval was difficult and would be long drawn out. “Referring for a moment to the criti- cism that a majority of the members of the court will consist of foreigners,” he continued, “let it be said that the same is true of any international con- vention, conference or other assembly, and that no fair-minded person could insist as a condition of our member- ship that the majority of the judges shall be citizens of the United States.” {NEW OFFICERS ON DUTY FOR MASTER PLUMBERS | Association Holds Installation | Ceremonies, With Frank A Kerr Heading Board as President.

TAR, WASHINGTON BILLARD PRAISES COAST GUARD WORK Declares Rescue Activities More Important Than War | on Smuggling. Declaring the war on smuggling only | a subordinate part of the work of the | U. S. Coast Guard, the commandant of | this service, Rear Admiral Prederick C. Billard, in a radio address last night traced the 139 years' record of the or- | ganization, its participation in time of | war and declared: “The’ most important | peace time duty of the Coast Guard is | the inspiring work of saving life and | property at sea. This is the traditional, | outstanding work of the service,” he said, “to which all else is subordinated.” | Admiral Billard in his address during | Collier's radio hour over WRC and | other stations said: “There is no sea- | going organization anywhere that has. duties more arduous, hazardous and | full of hardship, or that requires a higher degree of real seamanship in its | duties than the Coast Guard. | “The Coast Guard is not charged in | any way with the enforcement of the | national prohibition act,” he said. “It is charged and has been since its crea- tion in 1790 with the protection of the customs laws and the prevention of the | smuggling of contraband from the sea into the United States. “It has. uph»ld and defended the Constitution of the United States since 1790, and it will continue to do so. It enforces at sea the laws of the United States. It does not discuss or question their wisdom or their expediency. “With a habit of mind developed by traditions and an honorable history of 139 years, when assigned any task to| perform, whether or not it be a popular } or an agreeable or an easy one, it simply gives the sailor man’s answer, ‘Aye, aye, sir, and carries on. In one year 26 officers and men of the Coast Guard were drowned while on this law en- forcement duty.” Billard depicted the discovery of a rum runner by a Coast Guard boat and its disregard cf signals to halt. In such a case, he said, “there are just two courses of action to the Coast Guard patrol boat.” “One,” he added, “is to do nothing but patiently wait for the time when | the smuggler will be kind and gracious enough to accede to the command of the United States to stop and the other is to take the line of action authorized and indicated by the laws of the United States.” Fast Battle Plane Tested.
