CAPPER IN BROADCAST | OF WORLD COURT PLEA U. S. Entry in International Tribunal as Asked by President Hoover Is Advo- cated in National Radio Forum. Senator Capper's address on World Court, delivered last night in the National Radio Forum, follows: Priends of the radio audience, I have been asked to talk to you a few | minutes this evening about the World Court, or, as it more properly should be called, the Permanent Court of Inter- national Justice. Of course. oné can never tell where 8 United States Senator will wind up When he gets started on a speech. but T intend to confine myself to what the | World Court is, why the United States should join the World Court—join is as good a word as any, and expresses the issue checked again to the United States Senate this week when Presi- dent Hoover sent the World Court pro- tocols to the Senate for consideration, with the recommendation that they be ratified—and why I myself intend to vote for ratification. As closely as possible, it is my inten- tion to stick to what seems to me to be the fundamental issues involved. Also to try to keep hold of a sense of proportion in dealing with a few of the- various phases of the questions in- volved. Salesmen handling side lines are apt to neglect the majn line they are employed to handle. Sometimes, T fear, some of the rest of us get so in- in side lines that lend them- selves to argument and split-hair de- bating that we are likely to forget the maip issue involved. Outlines His Own Position. Pirst, T want to make my own posi- Hon plain. I favor American adherence to the protocol of the statute of the Perma- nent Court of International Justice. That means I am for the World I favor it because I believe it to be another step toward world peace, to- ward the outl: f warfare as the |cure the adoption e outlawry of warfa e u ted to the pur- means of settling international misun- dings and disagreements. I favor it because I believe the World to be the result of a sincere effort on the part of the nations and peoples of the world to establish a tribunal to insure peace with justice and with honor for the nations of the world who join it. I favor the World Court because I believe the hopes and aspirations of American people are for peace— peace within our borders, peace through- out the world; and because I believe the World Court will assist materially in making possible the realisation of that hope and that aspiration. I favor it because it is fundamentally an American conception and American contribution to world progress. Presi- dents McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Hard- ing, Coolidge and Hoover approved | opened in January, such a tribunal. We prescribed this medicine for the nations of the world nearly half a century ago. Nothing | Jol has happened since, no ingredients — “Whatever may be our attitude to- ward special forms of international or- ganization, these categories of pacific means are the irreducible minimum of any fair interpretation of the pledge. Whatever opposition there may have been to the giving of this pledge, now that it has been given, the honor of the country requires the faithful perform- ance of it.” In other words, as I see it, if we should refuse to adhere to the World Court, provided the United States is properly and without question protected against becoming through that adher- ence & member of the League of Na- tions and is properly protected against getting itself into any entangling alli- ances—if, with these two_protections, ‘we refuse to adhere to the World Court, then we have made of the Kellogg pact nothing but a scrap of paper. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. TELLS OF "WORLD COURT The Kellogg pact is our own child, conceived in good faith. We should not_disown it, The World Court also is our own child—the tribunal which we have been urging upon the rest of the world since we gave instructions to the United States delegates to the first Hague con- ference in 1899. These instructions in- cluded the following: Sees Definite Plan Desired in U. S. “The long-continued and wi read interest among the people of the United States in the establishment of an in- ternational court gives assurance that the proposal of a definite plan of pro- cedure by this Government for the ac- complishment of this end would express the desires and aspirations of this Na- tion, The delegates are therefore en- Joined to propose at an opportune mo- ment the plan for an international tribunal, hereunto attached, and to use their influence in the conference in the most effective manner le to pro- of substance or There you have the s of the ‘World Court, now brought back to us for conmsideratioh, and, I hope. for ap- proval. Now, before we go any further, let’s get a few definitions and statements of facts. 5 The World Court is an international court of justice. Tt is the first con- tinuing institution for lying the principles of international law to the judicial settlement of certain classes of international disputes. The World Court’s official name is the Permanent Court of International Justice. It sits at The Hague, in the Netherlands, in the Peace Palace, built by Andrew Carnegie for The Hague Court of Arblfiluoni”!lh first session Fifty-four of the sixty-three nations have joined it.

Quotes Washington on “Alliances.” Just a word about George Washing- ton, whom I have always regarded as D':':b::'d the g"r?fiut all-around IL:&C- man and most farseeing patriot in our . Washington Jaid down & pfin- ciple when he made his pronouncement t_entangling alliances. But Were Washington alive today he ‘would apply that principle in the light of world conditions of today and of world conditions that promise to vail tomorrow. He would not base its application on conditions that prevalled 8t the end of the eighteenth century, any more than he would have decided against the war for independenee in 1776 on conditions that prevailed when Columbus discovered America. In my judgment they do disservice to the memory of the Father of His Coun- f&ry who would argue that he would not have kept abreast of the times: would not have recognized the difference in international relationships brought #bout by the changes in conditions. A world m was weeks and months removed the new nation just from the status of a colony is removed only hours and days from the United States of today, to which its position as a leading world power has brought obligas | & tions and responsibilities and opmmu- mities that were undreamed of the pre-schooldays of this country of ours, Just a few more words of background, my friends, and I will get around to the World Court itself. But without the background one cannot get the pic- ture of the necessity for some such tribunal if we are to have & substitute | for gunpowder, poisonous gases in settling differences emong nations. Personally Investigates Tribunal. A few years ago I visited the seat of this tribunal of international justice at ‘The Hague. I had an exchange of | Yviews with the then members of the Court and with its officers. I made such & general observation of affairs in Europe as I was capable of making. I thave tried to keep track of world condi- tions as they affect this country before and since that time. I have not for- | gotten, nor am I likely to forget, the | World War and some of the lessons we | learned or should have learned. All the evidence to me is conclusive | that if the structure of our civilization | 4s to endure, justice and not gunpowder or other means of destruction must be | the bond between and among the nations. War as an arbiter of disputes is a | ghastly and tragic farce. It is & tax | devourer. It brings about national and racial bankrupteies. It is horrible, futile, and its end in death for nations | and civilizations is inevitable. | The experiences of the World War | should not be forgotten. They should | be an eveflasting warning. They should | admonish us to seek the path to peace. | ‘We should not hesitate to take the initial steps in the right direction. Common sense and the lessons of his- | tory teach us that unless our civiliza- | tion destroys war, war ultimately will | destroy our civilization. Today we face an opportunity to take an initial step. We took one such Step & year ago, when we ratified the pact of Paris, the Kellogg pact, re- nouncing war as an instrument of na- tional policy and—mark you!—this pro- vision of that pact also. In addition to the renunciation of war as an in- strument of natibnal policy, the Kellogg pact provides. in the secorid article of | the treaty, that the signatory powers pledge themselves to “the settlement or solution of all disputes of whatever nature or whatever origin they may be which may arise among them" exclu- sively “by pacific means.” Justice Hughes’ View Indorsed. I find myself in agreement with Evans what this provision means. “There is no difficulty in finding the implications of this agreement,” Jus- tice Hughes says. “Pacific means obvi- ously embrace diplomatic negotiations, suitable measures of conciliation, par- tion in approfriate conferences, %fiu settlement of justiciable trol the Court. to elect the judges, who are nominated Court of Arbitration.

Necessity Regarded as Remote. the likelihood of this ever Justice Hughes said recently (I quote from him): i necessity of having recourse to the right of withdrawal from adherence to the World Court would seem to be very remote. It may be urged that we should be disinclined to withdraw, but it is equally true that the other states supporting the Court would be reluctant to have us withdraw. The tion would almost inevitably lead to a rea- sonable disposition of any difference. “Certainly, if the Government of the United States belleved that ¥t had sound reasons for its protest and the protest proved una , it could with- draw with dignity and honor unim- paired. The fact that it could thus withdraw would be a powerful deter- rent against action in opposition to its interests in the matter of advisory opinions.” ‘What I have just sald is a direct quotation from Justice Hughes, in whose interpretation of the withdrawal clause of the advisory opinion reservation I have the utmost confidence, as I have also in the loyalty, patriotism, diplo- matic shrewdness and wisdom of Elihu Root, who is responsible for working out the so-called Root formula. Now for a few more facts as I under- stand them—facts which answer some of the objections most frequently raised against our adherence to the protocol of the World Court. ‘The United States cannot be haled before the World Court on any question. ‘We must give our cogsent in each and every instance before the Court is em- powered to consider a case which di- | both Benjamin SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER. < ‘whether or not the war debts of other nations to ourselves should be canceled or reduced. Again the picture is a per- fect blank. ‘The Monroe Doctrine is the same, whether we are in the Court or out of it. It is our doctrine, up to us to have and to hold. The Court has only juris. diction over certain classes of disputes ' or differences between or among nations, | and has this jurisdiction only through the consent of the nations affected or having an interest. Don't let this fact get away from you in any arguments made for or against our joining the Oourt. It is fundamental. I do not see how Great Britain could influence the World Court to decide any question that we might wish to submit | to the Court against ws. Such a view, it does seem to me, is based upon three unwarranted assumptions, namely: First, that Great Britain would have more influence than the United States; second, that the Court is amenable to political infinence; third, that any judge ‘would always vote for his country’s side and that the other judges would agree with him. ‘These assumptions are not borne out !“.hermhy &r:r:e?t facts or t_experiences arl ition cases. ps"slt'm probably will read and hear a lot of arguments from now on and for some time to come on the World Court and the interest of the United States in either joining or refusing to join.

Opposes Joining Nations’ League. Now, if I believed for one minute that joining the Court directly or by the remotest implication committed us to the League of Nations, I certainly would vot t it. The people of the d wisely, according to our lights—have decided against joining the League. I cast my vote against it. But in casting ,that vote I did not int that vote nor the decision of joining the League as a decision for isolation. On the contrary, I interpreted that 15l d own vote as a deter- :fnn&‘& :{run from interference or entanglement in affairs of no con- cern to us, but also as a decision to assist and serve disinterestedly in af- fairs of world import and interest. And upon this assumption I shall cast my vote for adherence when the oppor- tunity is presented, as I hope it will be in the not too far distant future. The protocols-now before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, of which I am a member, in my judg- ment, meet the spirit, and, through the Root formula, the letter as well as the spirit, of the Senate reservations adopted four years ago. So I intend to support them whole-heartedly, unless it is shown beyond doubt that they do not meet the spirit and letter of those reservations. But in our frank acceptance of this opportunity to advance the cause of world peace and international standing, and to advance also the Amer- ican ideal of peace and good will, let there be no misunderstandings. U. S. Not a Burden Bearer. Let it be understood—and I am of the firm conviction that the protocols make that understanding so plain that all must understand it—let it be under- stood that the United States will not consent to be made the burden bearer of European indebtedness, that we will not sponsor Europe’s financial obliga- . If this country is to have any part in financing Europe, it must be done through American commercial initiative, not by the United States Treasury. : I am opposed ever to enter into any contract that obligates us to send a American soldier across the seas to fight and die in the conflicts of other nations with which we have no just concern.

We can inject dyes and see whether the cell is acid or alka- line inside, and how acid or how alka- line, or whether it has acid spots to digest food, as does the ameba, The ameba, in fact, seems to enjoy being cut in two and filled full of vari- ous fluids. It often goes on happily as two amebas instead of one after such astounding microscopic surgery, for all these dissections have to be made under the high-power microscope, of course. It is even possible to take a human red blood cell and give it an injection of some substance and see what happens.

In other words, the nature of the simple must first be known before the complex can be understood. Almost all ot the work with cancer in the past has been the observation of masses of cancer cells and the destructive effects which they produce. Now we are getting to | & position, with the 8low improvements in technique of growing cells, to ask very impertinent and confidential ques- tions of the cancer cell and see in what way it differs from the normal cell from which it sprang. All we know now is that it differs from the normal cell in the capacity wth inside the body.{ The normal cell can also grow indefi- nitely outside the body, for Dr. Carrel has kept the chicken's heart cells grow- ing for 18 years in a culture tube, but that is a different matter. That same cell could not have grown for 18 years inside the body. For some reason that we do not know, the normal cells of the body stop growing at certain fixed periods; otherwise we would all be giants. They do necessary repairs only when cells are da but some of our body cells—for instance, those of the brain—stop growing as soon as we are born. We are never able to get a new brain cell if one is destroyed. We can get new pleces of bone and repairs of other sorts following injury, but never brain cells. Why this s 80, no one knows. Why connective tissue cells from a chick can grow in culture for 18 years and why they cannot grow that long in a hen is also something we do not know. Why cancer cell can grow in the body until the patient dies, though it seems to be just like a normal cell, we do not know. rectly affects us or in which we believe we have an interest.

' Not all of the time in Amsterdam was spent in talking about cells.

But to Stan- ley it only wasted the nicest hour of the day and spoiled his appetite for dinner. “To get up and put your boots on and come out for a walk would do you a lot more good than this mess!” he could not resist saying. “Oh, darling, let’s not develop our characters!” Shirley pleaded, dimpling at him naughtily. “Who went?” “Jim and the Hyde-Browns and Margaret,” Stanley answered. “And you® wish you were with them, . But I do get so darned stupid, in the house all day!” “Well, you're going to stay with me now!” Shm:y sald. “Stan,” she added, suddenly serious, biting into a damp lit- tle sandwich, “I've been thinking, all day.

If he loves me and if he wants me?” Shirley asked, dlmost in tears. “It's just got on my nerves,” she said pathetically. “That poor boy, alone with a lot of nurses and doctors—no one that belongs to him or cares if he lives or dies!” “My dear girl, you're just working yourself up about this,” Stanley said, in “Yes, but that's not all, Stan,” Shir- ley said, discouraged, but not diverted. “There's—there’s all 'that money!” “I don't see what that has to do with you,” Stanley said. “You mean as your wife? Yes, of course. But do let's be reasonable, dear,” begged Shirley. “I know how you feel, Stan,” she said. listen to me. or a million anyway.

And this is so simple, and I know Cuyler so well, and 10 to 1 there's some other woman there—he might even marry her the last minute. So, truly, I do think the wisest thing would be for me to go.” She paused, all rea- sonableness and appeal. “What do you really advise, Stan?” she asked. “I should suppose that of all persons in the world——" he began coldly. “That I'm the last one to be there?” Shirley finished eagerly. “But, Stan dear, you're young. I never felt that way about Cuyler. If it was some other man—some man I'd never been married to, say,” Shirley explained, “then it would be out of the question! But after all I'm Mrs. Cuyler Theobald. you're a business man, you must see that it'd be absolute madness ribly hard it is to get money in this world and how frightfully expensive everything is now—honestly, it seems to me it “And would be perfectly silly——" then your idea would be to come d be married?” Stanley asked. “Well, what else,* she asked, faintly alarmed. “But there is I want you to promise me, Stan,” said Shirley, jerking herself a little nearer him. “And this you must promise me, because my entire life depends upon it.

Nobody'll believe that you had no ground for it, except your fancy for this other woman.” “But here you are, talking of running off to Theobald!” he protested, weakly deserting the main issue. “That' has nothing to do with it1” Shirley reminded him promptly. “Stan, do you think you're in love with Mar- garet Yorke? she asked frankly. “I'm glad you asked me that, Shir- ley,” he sald, “because it would be very easy for you to misunderstand the whole situation. In any case, whether you and .I were married or not, I couldn’t mlrrg her. She is not free.” “Married, eh?” Shirley asked inter- estedly. “And he's living?” she added, as Stan nodded. “I see.
