"New. a word as to Irelutidwor any
other-people nlmliarly “tinted. We
have heard of Article Ten so often
and it has been so frequently the re-
dpiellt‘flf adverse criticism that we
night almost conceive-1t as some ter-
rible monster, designed to lock the.
shackles torever'ou all the peoples
of the earth who are governed by a
foreign .power. But, like a great many
bogtes in this world, it “taint 50."
Let me read to you Article Ten:
“The members of the League under~
take to respect and preserve as against
external aggression the territorial in-
tegrity and existing political indepen-
dence of all members of the League.
In case of any such aggression or in
case of any threat of danger at such
aggression, the Council shall advise
upon the, means by which this obliga-
tion shall be fulfilled."
That article is carefully drawn. It
tunes the words “external aggression."
Every man who ever has had to do
with the Construction of statutes
knows that these words mean outside
aggression. I do not. know what other
meaning you can place on the word
“external." Now revolution is internal
aggression. his a rebellion of a peo-
ple. to throw over their own govern-
ment or a government that at the time
has sovereignty over them, If the
present covenant of the League of
Nations had been in full force and
ctl‘ect in 1776 it would not have pre-
vented us in obtaining our freedom.
If it had been in force in 1860 it would
not have prevented the rebellion of
186] and the Civil War would have
been fought just the same.
Now. Ireland has been endeavorlng
Inst of the time for the past eight
centuries. and particularly so since the
act of the union shortly after 1800
'to shake off the yoke of English rate.
There is nothing in the League of Na-
tions covenant that will prevent this
or a rc-occurrence of what the Irish
have been doing. They may continue.
But there is something in the League
of Nations covenant that will greatly
help Iroland. That in Article XI. Al-
low me. to quote from that article:
“It is also declared to be the friend-
ly right of each member of the League
to bring to the attention of the As-
sembly or of the Council any circum-
stances whatever nil'ccttng interna-
tional relation»; which tin-eatens to dis.
turb either the peace or the good un-
derstanding between nations upon
which peace depends."
Aid to Moral influence.

those words when he did so had the

What a horrible thought to con-

asked if it was not possible for the
human mind to devise some means
for minimizing the probabilities of
war, if indeed it was not. possible to
prevent it forever. The first prac-.
ticai approach to the realization ot-
that happy and adenoid dream is the
league of Nations. Its preamble ro-
ciws its purpose. It says: “In order
to We international cooperation
and to achieve international peacei
and security, by the acceptance ofi
obligations not to resort to war, etc."
Not a BupMmmment
It was noc'voo long ago that a man
would be considered dishonorable and
not worthy of the respect and “so-i
elation of men it he did not challenge'
to a duel another man whom he
thought had insulted him. The dueli
has been made unfashtonable. Nil-l
tlons are but aggregations of individ-
uals. Cannot the aggregate of men dot
what the individual man has been
compelled, both by law and by publici
opinion, to do, namely. to tight his
battles in a court of Justice. And Hint!
is all the League of Nations is. It isi
not a super-government; it is not a;
magt‘ian‘s wand; it is established for!
the purpose of bringing pence upon!
earth: and if after thousands of years
of wax-fare we have an opportunity for
peace, let us strive with every fibre
of our being to bring it about: and
may God in his infinite mercy give us
the grace to succeed.
For war is not now what it fermerty:
was. It is not a clash of soldiers
merely. “'ar involves every human
being in the nations engaged. New
' York (‘ity might have a million trained
soldiers within its borders defending
it. and yet by the use of the airplane
and poisoned gas every man, woman
and 'hlhl in that metropolis might be
wiped out in half an hour. And New
York is no longer far away from
Europe. We transported across the
ocean over two million men, notwith-
standing the submarine. And we did
it in a few months. “‘hat has been
done can be done azatn. Airplanes
have crossed the Atlantic and im-
provcmcnts are constantly being made.
War now is so deadly that that alone
is saith-lent to give men.pnuse before
they enter into it. .
And aside from the terrible cost in
life and i‘mb there is the collossal ex-
pense, which has shackled Jtseif upon
the world like the old man of the sea,
case of Ireland in intnd. Now. if we
are members of the league. we may, as
a friendly nation, bring to the atten-
tion of the assembly or the council
the case of Ireland. And if and when
we do. Ireland has a right which in all
her great history she never before has
'iilltl. She may send her representa-
tive and present her case to a tribunal.
And that tribunal may publish the
facts to the world and the great force
201’ public opinion is something that no
government, no matter how powerful,
can long withstand. The great heart
of America beats in unison and sym-
pathy with the aspirations of any peo-
ple to have a government of their own
choosing and the heart of America can
and will. hen legally permitted. amt
by peaceful methods help every peo-
ple to establish their own form of
government. .And that is something
that we in our 1’45 years of history
could not do in the-past unless we wont
to war against England, and which we
cannot do in the future. except by war,
unless we have-the league of Nations.
We can then exert a moral influence
when. as in the past and now, without
the league. we are not permitted to do.
I am convinced that when the League
of Nations. with America as a mem-
ber. is formed and is functioning, the
opium of‘Robcrt Emmett will at last
be written. And I believe that you
will Join with me in saying God speed
the day.
This world in its thousands of years
of recorded history has always been
saddened by the shadows of war.
There never has been a generation in
all recorded history that somewhere
on this earth a war has not been in“
progress. And as a culmination came
the great war. We seemed to have
forgotten, ~niece thearmistice. the ter-
rible anxieties of that fierce struggle.
But the gold-starred mother, the be-
reaved widow or the orphan, the crip-_1
