.BLUSHING BARRISTERS
PROTEST MIXED JURY
FOR DIVORCE CASES

LONDON, March "A storm of dis
cussion, both commentator and con-
demnation, las swept through London
newspapers as the result OF the IN
novation OF having women serve with
men as members of turys in divorce
cases. - tt
In the comment on the proceedings.
newspaper editorials and the contrib
uted communications of readers nave
discussed principally the propriety OF
obliging women as members of the
jury to examine all the evidence sub
nlitted.
Evidence Considered improper.
In this case counsel for one of the
parties to the action announced that
he had evidence to submit which he
Gid not consider it proper to place be
fore women jurors. The Judge said
he was helpless in the matter but
ultimately only the men jurors ex
amined the. evidence. -.~' D. Z 81
~ Sir Edward Marshall-Hall, counsel
for one of the parties, said that this
was the first case he had ever con
Quoted before a mixed jury and thai
he hoped he would never have to dea
with a case of such a nature again.
at is undeniable that there are
many cases in which the assistance o.
women will be Of the greatest value
to the court" said Sir Edward, "bu
there are other cases in which, from
the nature Of the evidence much will
have to be discussed before them, it i:
undesirable that they should serve"
Bernard Shaw Protests.
Sir Edwards comment evoked a ho
retort from George Bernard Shaw
playwright, who writing to the Dali.
News "as a member of the male sex
took issue with the views of the bar
rister.
Sir Edward Marshall-TIall's assump
ton that my sensibilities in thi
matter are less delicate than womel
is not only unfounded but extremel,
offensive" wrote Mr.. Shaw. "Why il
the name of common sense did thi
blushing barrister exclude six jurymel
from the apology which he thought i
necessary to make for presentin,
them (some of the exhibits in tn
case) to the six jurywomen."

BY .. HART CAMPBELL.
Npf~rusfls.>I N~vvs gerxice.

.Denouncfns the German-American
treaty as d ''rnost insurmountable OBJ
stacie to disarmament" Senator VIII.
lam z. Borah, Republican. Of Idaho,
member Of the Senate foreign rela-
tons committee, announced today
that he would oppose and vote
against its ratification by the Senate.
In statement given exclusively
to the International News Service,
Senator Borah left no doubt as to
his purpose to fight ratification of
the German-American treaty with all
the determination and vigor he dis
played In combating ratification OF
the Vcrsailles pact. ... b.
Borah's emphatic condemnation of
the German-AmericanI treaty fell like
o bombshell among Republican lead
ers Of the Senate when II reconvened
at noon with the re-openins Of Con-
gress. 80"
Borah's declaration came shortly
before the submission of the Ger
man. Austrian and Hungarian treat
les by the President to the Senate.
"It Ii 2 fact that I am opposed TO
the German-American treaty" Borah
said. "lt is Q fact that ] shall vote
against VI W -tuC oCA-
ate. I shall state somewhat in detail
to the Senate my reasons for oppos-
ing II and for voting against 1t.
ITO put my opposition to the treaty
in the briefest possible way. in my
opinion, the treaty as drawn involves
US in all European affairs and en-.
tangiements. and IL especially In
wolves us in the most Questionable
features OF the treaty of Versailles.
II think further, moreover. that
II we 60 into the treaty IL win prove
the most insurmountable obstacle to
disarmament that could Just now be
created" -
Borah declared that the German
American treaty links the United
States so closely with the Versailles
treaty as to virtually make many Of
the most Objectionable features Of the
latter morally binding upon the Amer
ican people" - ',.-.
He said that acceptance Of the treaty
by the Senate would make the Amer
lean Government morally bound" to
appoint an official representative on
the reparations commission created
by the Versailles pact. ..
"As construe the German-Ameri.
can treaty, Il would involve US inevi.
tably in not only the rsparations
clauses. but In the financial, economic,
guarantee and other obnoxious clauses
OF the Versailles pact, and the things
arising under or from those clauses
embody the ramifications Of the en-
tire political and economic life Of Eu-
rope." ".
