LONDON, May 10. President Wilson, speaking to the tational Law Society in Paris, said one of the things which had disturbed him in recent months, was the unqualified hope that men enter- tained everywhere of immediate emancipation from things that MARINES NOW ON NAVY PAY. perial and russian gate snerti hampered and oppressed them. We must see that these who hope are: not disappointed, by showing them the processes whereby the hope must be realized, processes of law and.slow disentanglement from many things that bound the people in the past. The habits of society must be slowly altered and adapted. One of the things which will be of most conse sequence in the future is the intelligent development of international law. In one sense this great and unprece dented war was fought to give validity to international law and to prove it had a reality which no nation could afford to dis egard; that while there was no international authority as yet to enforce it, it nevertheless had something greater behind, namely the moral rectitude of mankind. If we could now give international law the vitality which it could have only if it was a real expression of our moral judgments, we should have completed in some sense the work this war was intended to emphasise. In the new League of Nations we were starting upon uncharted seas.

In a sense the old enterprise of national law was played out. The future of mankind depended more upon the relations of nations to one another and on the realization of the common brother hood of mankind than upon the separate selfish development of national systems or law. Men who could think the common thoughts of humanity were the men who would be most servicable in the immediate future. God grant there may be many of them..
