(AP)-Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, asserting that world authority had been shattered by disregard for national treaties, said today that peace for the United States could be assured only by a strong national defense.
"Regrettable as it is, the inescapable fact is that we are living in a world where truth, justice and moral standards have been disregarded, and force alone has become the dominating factor in determining the destinies of peoples and nations," he said in an address at a Memorial Day service in Arlington National Cemetery.
The Massachusetts senator mentioned Italy's conquest of Ethiopia and Japan's military expedition into central China in asserting that ruthless aggression had been witnessed both in the west and in the east.
"Democracy was never at so low an ebb and in such peril throughout the world," he said, adding that the League of Nations was a tragic failure, and the Court of International Justice "impotent" before armed force.
