A Business Court to Settle Disputes

proposed would consist of settlement
of local controversies by local com
mercial bodies; of settlement of dis
putes within an industry by trade as
sociations and of the handling by the
national chamber of cases that do not
fall within local or trade jurisdiction.
The national chamber already has pro-
vided machinery for handling dis
putes that may come to it.
The plan provides, aside from arbi-
tration, for the use of good Offices on
the part Of business organizations as
a means Of settling differences wher-
eyer possible by Cancellation without
resort to arbitration.
Attention is called to the advantage
of arbitration over court procedure in
a paragraph which says that it af-
fords "a means for decision upon the
merits Of a business tranSacticn as
it is understood by business mel.
There is no chance for the result 10
turn upon some technicality or rule
of which neither party had thought
A conclusion can be reached speedily,
because there is no opportunity for
dilatory proceedings and the case does
not have to take its turn on a long
list of other cases. When a decision
is rendered it is final the way is not
open for appeals upon unsubstantial
matters to other bodies.

Veterans Need Not Worry Over War Gas

During the last year the medical
division of the chemical warfare Serv-
ice has been making a careful study
of the after effects Of warfare gases.
AS a result Of these studies the fol.
lowing conclusions have been drawn.
"AS to the occurrence of reSpira-
tory troubles resulting from exposure
to gases, there is little evidence TO
show that gas played a conspicuous
role in this connection. 1t is doubt
full if the incidence Of these diseases
among eX-service men is really greater
than among those who were not
gasSed.
Those who develop respiratory
troubles at this late date since their
discharge have no basis for claims
that their disabilities We're the result
of their war experiences, Such dis
abilities would probably have deyel-
oped if they had never been in the
service at all. If "A year or SO elapSes
from the time of gassing until symp-
toms develop, it is quite probable that
gas had nothing to do with the mat
ter, provided that the lungs of such
claimants were clear at the time Of
discharge"

The plan takes into account the
