's. The same principle was adopted
both by the United States Government

in connection with the proposed es-
court. although the proposed estab-
lishment of an international prize
court. although certain constitutional
difficulties have led the United States
Government to propose that the right
of recourse to the international prize
court in connection with a decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States should take the form of d.

H.. G. Wells Criticizes Democracy.
The war has shown the weakness
or the democratic state, says III. G..
Wells in The New Republic. at is
no use denying that the central DOW
ers were not only better prepared for
this war at the outset, but that on
the whole they have met the occa-
sions of the war as they have go far
arisen with much more collective in
teliigence, will power. and energy than
any of the Allies not even excepting
France. They nave succeeded not
merely In meeting enormous military
requirements better. but in keeping
the material side of their national
life steadier under greater stresses.
1t Is idle for this writer to pretend
to think that the United states would
make any better showing in this mat
ter than Great Britain.
The British Government has been
excellent In argument and admirable
In rhetoric, but II has been slack. in
doIent. and unready in all matters
of material organization: II has nnrd-
died and wasted national feeling, and
1t has been manifestly afraid of the
press and over-sensitive to public
clamor. 1t has shown all the merits
and failures one might have expected

seem right. wary and prepared to
walt and see what chances the ad-
versary will give, and as inca pable

racy can produce. then democracy Is
