War and International Law.

The deplorable situation resulting
from the destruction of the Lusi-
tsnia, Laconia, City of Memphis, Hi
Bois and Vigilancia raises again the
question whether there is any such
thing any longer as international law
The libraries and systems of teaching
that have grown up under that title
seem to-day TO have vanished into
thin air.
There are in any collection of hui.
man beings a great many who OBJ
serve laws only from fear of force.
Plenty OF men would steal and kill
did they not fear the penalty. But
there is no penalty for breaking in
ternational law An international DO
lice force may some day maintain by
force the validity of such codes OF
rules as may be agreed upon. but il
may be many years before any such
force can be created.
A strong public sentiment is al
ways enormously helpful in maintain
ing any kind Of a code. In business
ife, law is not the only thing that
keeps the banker or the merchant
honest They know that trickery
viii hurt and perhaps ruin their bus
mess. Consequently the great bulk
Of every day business transactions are
square and on the level, not so much
from fear of law, as from fear of
public sentiment and loss Of reputa-
ton
In the matter of excepting national
agreements, sentiment seems less
well defined. Formerly no nation
ever thought of keeping its pledges
when they were contrary TO its inter
est During the past century there
has been a decided advance in this
particular. But Europe has always
scoffed at such promises. When the
United States promised to retire from
Cuba, few OF the foreign diplomats
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1917-03-23

belived the pledge amounted to any
thing. But they did. Yet there are
plenty of people in our country who
would favor the breaking of any ma
tional pledge, If they felt it would tenn
porarily help American interests.
Here then appears the task of each
citizen in the present catastrophe. L.
is to do his share to create public
sentiment in favor of the most rigid
keeping of national agreements
Breaking Of international law should
he considered the same as taking
money from bank. Let it become a
point of honor, to support no man for
United States office unless he has a
clean record on this world issue.
