C., to Benefit' By This Measure?Pacificists and Others Rally to the Support of Section Calling for Establishment of International Court to Enforce Peace. WOULD APPROPRIATE $200,000 FOR PROJECT Speaker Clark Answers Rep. Gardner Rv Declaring "We Never Will Arbitrate the Monroe Doctorine" and the Nation Foolish Enough to Attack IT.. Will \vu: 1 1 III T 11 I }Jl II Washington, June I,?Advocates of greater preparedness than is provided by the naval bill as reported by the committee won some victories to-day in th<? house. They succeeded in obtaining appropriations not to exceed $(>,000,000 for enlarging the Navy Yards at Norfolk, New Orleans, Charleston, Boston Portsmouth, N. II., Philadelphia and Puget Sound Capital ships would be constructed at the Norfolk, Puget Sound, Philadelphia and Boston yards. An amendment designed to lower the enlistment period in the Navy from four to three years and to permit men to enter the reserve after one year's I service also was adopted. An unsuccessful tight was led by Representative Gardner of Massachusetts against the section of the naval bill, embracing the llensley resolution authorizing participation by the nited States in the establishment of an international court for the enforcement of peace. The section was retained without a roll call in the house, sitting as a committee of the whole. Pacificists, socalled "little navy" men and many advocates oj^general preparedness rallied to the support of the section. Speaker Clark took (ho floor and aroused enthusiasm by declaring the sortion was the best feature (>f the bill. The Hensley section would appropriate $200,000 and provide for the appointment of nine men by th? president, at the close of the Kuropean war. to enter into negotiations with other countries, for establishment of an international court to enforce peace. It was placed in the bill as a compromise when it appeared that the opponents of a greater Navy would not support th" committee measure. Representative Gardner declared the plan could not be carried out and that if the United States had been *? party to such an agreement in 1014 congress would not have voted to send the country's quota of .r>0rt,000 men abroad to aid in the enforcement of peace. Mr. Gardner wanted to know whether the United States would arbitrate the Monroe Doctorine if it werP assailed, the Chinese question and others. That brought the speak-1 er to his feet. "I wouldn't take the time of this committer if I did not bel'??ve this is the most important section of this hill" cnift JVio oncaker "The centle man from Massachusetts wants t..> know if we over would arbitrate the Monroe Doctorine. No, we will never arbitrate it while the earth spins on its axis. It is the only political proposition that all the American people ever did agree upon. He wants to know if we will ever arbitrate questions of war and peace. No, I hope we never will be engaged in another war, and if we attended to our own business, I don't think we ever will. No nation is foolish enough to attack us and if one does it will get whipped. I don't believe that great nations will stand much longer for the policy of pilling up armament on land and sea. This policy has come to an end. and It will only come to an end by conferences. We ar? the people to make this suggestion. We are l4 the richest nation, we have the largV est homeogenous population and we are not afraid of anybody. ' Mrs. D. IE. Penney, Miss Margaret Penney and Master Emory Penney will go to Abbeville this week to visit relatives, and Mrs. Penney will also visit her sister in TMrmlng ham before returning to Lancaster.
