*f I,e\ingtoii, Ya.. \. ill present a n n- ^
o i'v report, in vhicl. they assert th *y
t* * “unable to concur" with the ma
jority committee.
Sections of reports to he presented
at the convention have boon received
bv members of the local arrange
ments committee. The reports treat of ,
various subjects.
“Your committee is of the opinion
that tin* treaty, including the propos
als for a League of Nations, should 1m*
ratified without amendment." the ma
jority report on the treaty declares.
“Th • world is anxious to return to n
mo*** settled condition which awaits
the termination of the great war. If
amendments are proposed by the
United States. other governments
would undoubtedly propose amend
ments. and it is unlikely that a sc*c »nd
conference could produce a more . at
is factory treaty.
“It is particularly fitting that tho
United States should support the p o
posal for this League. The League is
based upon our own experience in a
federation of states enjoying libe ty
and peace. It has been our high des
tiny to join with our Allies in prevent
ing the destruction of liberty and < s
tnbli.shing it as the governing princi
ple in the life of the states.
“Upon entering the war we ex
pressed it as our desire and purpose
to secure not only for ourselves, hut
f«.v all nations of the world, an en
during pence, based upon those piin
ci pi os of lib< rty and of justice wh’ch
we enjoy. The league is organized for
that purpose. Should the United Stat
es refuse to enter the League it
would defeat its organization; should
the United States join, it gives the
1 ''st assurance of its success/’
pen ling with the subject of amrnd
j n;onts and rosei-vations, and emphasi
•(»< ••uit only interpretative reserva
► ; n- -hould bo permitted.
Another ’vport suggests that the
election of the President of the Unit
ed States end his inauguaratior he
h’ >e.;ht nearer togothe*, and that tie
Jaoit session >f 1h' Vd Congress he
pivu doned.
The interval between the oledioTi
and inauguration of a President, this
»• .v0vt declares. is a “serious evil,
fi aught with much danger, because, if
an administration is discredited by a
popular vote of want of confidence
the prestige of the government at
home and abroad is weakened, there
is danger of humilation and disaster
to the Republic.” The report does not
lecornmond any other date for the
»lection 01 the inauguration.
Recommendation that the making
of rules, for the conduct of aviation he
held in abeyance until airplanes be
come mo:'i numerous, is set foitl* in
another report.
The committer on international
law will pt *sent a report which states
tint, after outlining developments of
the reconstruction period, it “finds
little to record of wise and final ad
ju tment or of complete accord.” Com
menting on the meeting of the Organ
ization Committee of the Permanent
foil t of International Justice under
th<* League ol Nations, the report
says: Wt last a hotly distinctly legal,
a hody ot our cloth and profession, i.»
seeking. : ' 1 is given an opportunity
to organize International Justice and
prepare for its enforcement in the
world.”
A large number of prominent
speakers are expected to address the
association, including Sir Auckland
(lotides, British Ambassador to the
United States; Uranklin K. Lane, for
mer Secretary of the Interior; Albert
J. Beveridge, of Indiana, former Unit
ec I Sta tes Senator, and Judge Ben B.
Lindsey, of Denver. Hampton L. Car
son, of Philadelphia, is president of
the association.
Sections of the association will
moot simultaneously with the paivnt

organization »*s follows: ( omparative
Law, Judicial Section, Legal Edi ca
