AFRAID OF Mlr MvK
"I sometimes wish, in hearing an
'argument lfke this, that I were the
representative of a small power so
that what I said might be robbed of
anv mistaken significance, but I think
you will agree with me that the United
States has never :.iiow n any temper of
aggression anywhere, and It lies In the
heart of the people of the United
I States, as I am sure It lies in the hearts
i of the peopled of the Other great povv
i crs. to form a common partnership of
right and to do service to our aisocl
1 ates, and no kind of dia-serv Ice."
A singular omihsion in the matter of
legal forinalllbs is the failure of the
laws of the United States lo provide
for notifying a president-elect of his
