League Target
Of Politieal
Science Men
Pxoposed Covenant Attacked
bv Speakers at Meeting
of Academy Being Held
at Columbia University
tfAmbig11011^"' Says Snow
Peprivcs Nation? of Their
Sovereignry, Assertion of
George Wharton Pepper
The covenant of the league of na?
tions received rough handling yester
(jgv at the semi-annual meeting of the
Acsdemy of Politieal Science, when
George Wharton Pepper, of Philadel?
phia. attacked it. President Xicholas
Murray Butler, oi Columbia, gave it a
cutf. and Alpheus H. Snow, adviser of
the State Department, called it "am
biguous."
United States Senator Key Pittman,
of fJevada, defended the covenant, as
did also Representative Herbert C.
Pell, jr.. of Manhattan.
George \V. Wickersham, former At?
torney General, in his address on "In
ternational Labor Standards, and
Their Possible Enforcement in the
United States,"' approved various ideas
in the British. French and American
labor movement, but called attention
to what he is sure are fallacies. Other
speakers were Dwight W. Morrow,
Judge William I.. Ransom, Arthur K.
Kuhn. Abram I. L'lkus. Ambassador to
Turkey; John B. Andrews, J. P. Cham
berlain and W. H. Swift.
Dr. Butler Raps Covenant
Dr. Butler presided at the morning
session in the asditorium of the Hor
ace Mann building, and Professor
Henry R. Seager presided at the after?
noon session.
In opening the morning session Dr.
Butler said that had the work of draft
ing the league covenant been in his
hands he would have produced a much
different sort of document.
Dwight \V. Morrow. adviser to the
Allied Maritime Transport Conference,
who spoke on "The Relation of the
Covenant to Recent International Co?
operation," said that any theorist who
believed there would be no more
wars was making a mistake. He said.
however. that it would be a great
shame to the people of this generation
and a betrayal of those who had died
if we did not do something to make
war impossible to the greatest extent
that it can he done.
Pittman Defends Covenant
"The chief attacks made in the
United States upon the covenant of the
ieague of nations," said Senator Pitt?
man, "are not based upon its lack of
power to provent or defer war. but
upon the alleged grant to the league
of jurisdiction and power to interfere
with the vital interests of our govern?
ment. There is not contained in the
document a single prohibition or limi
tation upon our right to defend our
own territory or iui citizens against
h". ck.
"If we, the leaders of democracy, a
most ardent advocate of peace and'the
bitterest opponent of militarism, are
unwilling to submit such international
disputes equally with ai! i ther civilized
nations to the unanimous verdict of
th? world, then indeed all is hopeless.
In my opinion there can be no great
nationalism without internationalism."
Pepper Attacks League
Mr. Pepper, who is vice-president of
the League for the Preservation of
American Independence, in opening his
address, pointed out that there might
be two kinds, of league of nations.
First, there m.?ght be a kind that would
function thrtrugh an international
council withr.it power to bind the na?
tions, but with extraordinary power to
advise and to tl row t! i pitiless light of
publicity on affairs and to substitute
open for secret diplomacy.
This kind of a league," he said, "I
.hean<' 'ndorse. The other kind of
league ia where sovereignty is delegated
to a central body with power ro make
6!na:ng its decision upon all signatorv
nations. It is to this plan that the
proposed covenant belongs."
L'nder the proposed draft, said Mr.
reppers, if .. ., arjse that on(,
V th" ; thinks is purely
aomestic and not subject to arbitra
?on, while thi other party thinks it
inould be arbitrated, it is up to the
eonncil of tl e league to determino, first
J??? it is arbitrable and then to

"In our own case," he said, "take

Wickersham Discusses Labor
At the afternoon session George W.
Wickersham, former United States At?
torney General, after reviewing the at
titude of labor and labor programmes
in Great Britain and France, said:
"The brunt of the English hope for
improved labor conditions rests upon
government aid. The play of initia
tive and free competition is still in the
eyes of the French workman the su
preme end to be maintained."
Turning to the programme of the
St. Paul conference of the American
Federation of Labor in June last, Mr.
Wickersham said of the American pro- '.
gramrae:
"It contends for increase in wages,
reduction in hours of labor, and pro?
tection against child labor. It advo
cates cooperation between producers,
as securing higher prices for their
products, and yet placing these in the
consumers' hands at lower prices than
they would otherwise be placed?upon
the theory that the middleman and his
profit would be eliminated. It yields
to the ignis fatuus of government
ownership and operation.
Defends Supreme Court
"A provision which i? greatly to be
regretted is that rcspectlng "tlie peo?
ple's final voice in legislation.' This
declares that 'an insuperable obstacie
to self-government in the United
States exists in the power which has
been gradually assumed by the Su?
preme Courts of the Federal and state
governments to declare legislation r.ull
and. void upon the ground that, in the
court's opinion, it is unconstitutional.'
"The right and duty of Ihe judiciary
to pass upon the const itutionality of
legislation is the one functioa which
distinguishes American self-govern?
ment from the pretences of democracy
in many other so-called republics.
Written constitutions are adopted for
the protection of the individual citizen
and minorities against the tyranny
of the majorities."
The proposal of the International
Labor Commission that an interna?
tional labor conference, under the aus
pices of the league of nations, have
'power to take, under conditions to be
determined, resolutions possessing the
force of international law,' caused Mr. :
Wickersham to say:
"There is very general opposition in
the United States to the creation of
any sovereignty over our government
in the formation of any international |
body."
Elkus in Labor Plea
Abram I. Elkus, whose topic was
"Protective Standards and Interna?
tional Cooperation ln Industry," made
a strong plea for limitation of the
empioyment of children under four
teen, for the limitation of the hours
of labor to eight, that each person
shall receive a living wage, that each
shall have one day of rest in seven
and that men and women shall receive
equal pay for equal work. He said
that the only way to obtain such re
sults is by international agreement.
N. Y. U. Students
Are Divided Over
Pogrbin Question
Resolutions of Protest Are
Passed, Then Reseinded,
at "Special" Meeting; 2
Sets of Officers Elected
The student body at N'ew York Uni?
versity has broken into two great fac
tions on the ostensible subject of the
pogroms in Poland.
When reports of the persecution of
Jews there first were received all the
students at the university, regardless
of religious faith, joined in resolutions
protesting against such actions. Then
the cleavage developed and there was
an attempt to repeal the resolution.
The repeal was accomplished in
form, it is said, at a "special" meetinp;
of the student organization called
Tuesday by Floyd Regan, its president,
and Harold Finlet, its vice-president.
Jewish students, among them Max
Murin, secretary of the student organi?
zation, said yesterday they had re?
ceived no notice of the meeting. Most
of the students are Jews.
Another resolution adopted at the
"special" meeting would deprive stu- I
dents whose homes are not within a ;
niiie of the campus of the right to par
ticipate in student. activities. Few of
the Jewish students live within a mile.
of the university.
The "special'' meeting has been de?
clared irregular and without authority
by tlie faculty. The faculty also has
cancellcd two student elections which
have taken place since the schism de?
veloped. Or.e is said to have been
called and attended solely by members
of fraternities. No ballots were east
by Jews, it is said, nor were any
? students of that faith elected as of?
ficers. The other and more general
election followed. Two sets of officers
; of the student organization then had
been elected, each at a different elec?
tion.
"1 do not think it would be correct to
say that the contest among the stu
, dents is drawn sharply along r>'cial
lines," said Dr. Ellsworth Brown, pres?
ident of the university, yesterday.
There is a lively contest on between
two parties. I have not all the facts
in hand, but as far as I have been
able to ascertain there are Jews and
Christians on both sides. The matter
ig in the hands of a strong faculty
committee."
