JUsrfYrNe THE WORLD COURT

The views oi irreconcilables
who have spent FIVE or six weeks
in Europe this Spring are bound
TO be neither news nor things OF
import. Anyone thoroughly
committed to the proposition
that as long as hatred lives
abroad it is better to lock the
gate and pull down the blinds is
not going to change his mind
after Cooks tour. For the first
page of any current newspaper
will inform him that the Old
World is brewing as many ami
mosities as ever.
He can save time and money
and mental tear by staying at
home and depending on trained
observers who remain on the
spot continuously and who
doubtless are more familiar with
their Europe than is the tourist
with his. IS
The question at bottom is moi
whether malevolence remains
abroad; no one is inclined to
argue that it does not. Senator
Moses ] told-you-so announce
ment that Europe is a hotbed OF
hatred can be readily admitted
which does not alter the fact that
real discussion of a League, or a
Court, begins after the admission
is made. If Senator Moses or
Senator Johnson feels we should
pull the sheets over our head un-
til Europe is a land of olive
branches and carol singers it is
entirely probable that when the
two gentlemen are quite dead we
shall be as completely estranged
from Europe as ever.
The case against the Court
does not rest on the circum-
stance that hate lives in the
world. That would mean that
any court scheme which would
suit the irreconcilables would be
unnecessary, since a world full of
psalm singers patiently would
have no use for court to adj
indicate issues that do not rise.
The protested purpose of the
Court is to counterfeit hatred by
adjustments without bloodshed.
If there were no hatreds there
would be no court
The fact that the condition
which a true Court would under
take to meet already exists is not
only poor ground for assailing
it. but a very substantial justih-
cation of the Court itself.
