A Paraphrase

The speech of Secretary Hughes, which followed three days after that of the President, was largely a paraphrase of what the latter had said, but with much elaboration. The Secretary went into detail, pointing out the superiority of the World Court to The Hague Tribunal and other arbitrative bodies, showing all the legal safeguards for keeping the Court independent of the League and of partisan influence; and ended by a detailed examination of all the criticisms of the Court.
