To return to the League Of Nations: !:
Several important things were ac-
complished last week by the assem-
bly,. First of these was the adoption
Of a statute for a permanent interna-
tional court Of justice. The plan now
goes to the member states for ratifi-
cation. If 1t is approved by %, or a
majority, before the next meeting Of
the assembly. the judges will be
chosen and the court will come into
existence in September, 1921. In the
debate on the project there was a
hot contest between Europe on one
side and Latin-America on the other
over the question whether the iuris-
diction of the court should be obliga-
tory or voluntary. Europe won out,
and the statute as adopted does not
make obligatory the appearance Of
both parties to a dispute, and pro-
vides no penalty for noncompliance
with the courts decisions. The Euro
pean delegates defended the scheme
as the best beginning that can be
made, but the Latin-Americans were
very skeptical as to the value Of op-
tional Jurisdiction.
Austria. first of the former enemy
states to be admitted to the league,
was voted in Wednesday without op-
position, four members refraining from
voting. Next day Bulgaria was admit
ted, France and Australia not voting.
The action ON Austria brought on a
lively passage between Motta of
Switzerland and Viviani Of France.
The former took occasion to say that
his country had always regretted the
rejection Of Germany's application for
admission, whereupon viviani leaped
to the tribune and in fiery speech
defended the French position in op-
posing Germany's admission. Most OF
the assembly was with him and he
was enthusiastically applauded. Lux.
emburg, Finland and Costa Rica also
were admitted to the league.
Spain, Brazil, Belgium and. China
were chosen as the four elective mem.
bers of the council. China takes the
place Of Greece, and her victory was
said to be due mainly to the personal
strength and popularity Of DIR, Wei
lington Koo among the delegates.
Armenia, together with Georgia ant
the Baltic states, was refused admis
sion to the league, but a resolution
was adopted expressing the hope tina
President Wilson's efforts would re
suit in the saving Of Armenia and tn,
establishment of a stable government
so that she could be taken into tn,
fold. Mr.. Wilson has named Henr,
Morgenthau as his representative II
the mediation, but just what he cal
do is puzzling many observers. Al
ready Armenia has yielded to the be
hests of the Red Russians and es
tablished soviet government at Fri
van, and the Turkish nationalists
called or by Lenine, have signed
peace treaty with the Armenians b
which the latter hand back to Turke
most Of her former territory in tina
region. If this suits the majority @
the Armenians, what are the power
going to do about it? And what /
Mr.. Morgenthau going to try t
mediate?

Despite certain concessions granted
by Premier Lloyd George, nothing
definite has yet come out of the efforts
to bring about a truce in the Irish
"war." In response to the request OF
Father O'Flanagan, acting head Of the
Sim Fein, that he might be permitted
to confer with Arthur Griffith anc
Eamonn De Valera regarding a set
tlement, the premier said: "The Irish
governmental authorities will afford
you the necessary facilities for see
ing Mr.. Arthur Griffith, and, as re
CARDS Mr.. De Valera, the ordinary
methods of communication with
America fully are open to you"
At about the same time it was re
ported that De Valera was on his way
from America to Ireland, and in Lon.
don it was understood tacit permission
for his return had been given by
Lloyd George. The dispatches sale
he would be met at Liverpool and per
mitted to go to London for a confer
ence or would be given safe conducl
to Ireland, as he preferred.
Meanwhile the rank and file on botf
sides seem to be doing their best tt
keep the contest going. The wors
happening Of the week was the burn
ing of the city hall, library and othel
buildings in the business center o.
Cork. Presumably this was done b,
the auxiliary police in reprisal for th,
ambushing Of some Of their members
though this was denied by the Englisl
officials. The property damage wal
immense and the affair caused sucl
an outcry that the government or
dered immediate investigation by tn,
military authorities and the punish
ment Of the guilty. Another exasper
ating incident was the killing Of
priest at Durmanway while he wa
trying to save the life of young mai
who also was slain. "A uniforme,
man accused Of these murders was al
rested. The Sim Feiners were no

SO far as navy building goes. Sena-
tor Borah. one of the "irreconcila-
bles." has a plan whereby the United
States can join In its reduction. He
has introduced In the senate resolu-
ton requesting the President to pro-
pose to Great Britain and Japan an
agreement with the United States for
the curtailment OF navy building by
the three powers. the program Of each
Of them to be reduced annually dur
Ing the next FIVE years 90 per cent Of
the present estimates or figures. In
the preamble II Is pointed out that the
japanese government has declared to
the world that 1t could not consent
even to consider a program Of disarm-
ament on account Of the building pro-
gram Of the United States. "By this
statement" the resolution continues,
~the world is Informed and expected
to believe that Japan sincerely desires
to support a program Of disarmament,
but cannot do so In safety to herself
On account of the attitude and build
Ing program of this government"
An Indication Of the possible atti-
tude Of Great Britain in this matter
Is found in the report that the cabinet
has decided that II is impossible for
the nation longer to maintain the two
power standard which has been its
policy for many years. The British
program is halted just now by a dis
pute as to the relative value Of capital
