LODGE AND THE HAGUE COURT

Henry Cabot Lodge made the key
note" speech at the Republican con-
vention in June, 1920. Later he took
an active part in the Midnight con-
ference, attended by Senators Smoot
Brandegee, Wadsworth, Watson, and
other Tory enemies of the League of
Nations, at which it was decided to
make Warren G. Harding the candi
date. Later still, as chairman of the
notification committee, he declared
in a speech in Mr.. Harding's pres
ence at Marion:
I'VE have been, and are, quite
ready to join in agreement with other
nations for the extension of The
Hague conventions; for the upbuild-
ing and codification of international
law and the establishment of world
court of justice; for international
conferences in regard to non-jus-
ticiable questions and for arrange
ments to bring about a general re-
duction of armaments."
Mr.. Lodge is thus bound in honor
to accept the Presidents proposal
for membership in the Court of Inter-
national Justice. There is some evil
dence, however, that his old grudge
against Mr.. Wilson and the league
will come first and honor second.
This was apparent at yesterdays
session of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, of which he is chairman. At
this session Mr.. Lodge approved of a
resolution by Mr.. Borah asking the
President to state whether he is in
favor of IAN agreement TO
submit all questions about which
there is a dispute and which cannot
be settled by diplomatic efforts, rela-
tive to (a) the Interpretation of treat
les, (b) any question of International
law, (c) the existence of any fact
which, if established, would consti-
tute a breach of an international
obligation, Cd the nature or extent
of reparations to be made for the
breach of an international obliga-
ton" The language of this resolution
is precisely that of Article 36 of the
revised draught of the constitution
of the new Hague court, fact of
which no member of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee is ignorant. There
can be no object in asking such a
question, therefore, except to delay
the response to the Presidents re-
quest or to lay the basis for an at
tack upon it.
If Senator Lodge adopts either of
these courses he will establish him
self once for all as man whose
promise in a political matter is not
worth the paper it takes to publish
it.-New York Globe, Rep.

OVERSEAS YARNS

At the last meeting of the French
Universities Post a yarn was spun
about an elephant which escaped from
captivity in Toulouse and attacked two
men. BY itself the story had not much
interest, but what made it peculiarly
romantic was the narrator's statement
that the elephant belonged to an eli
lusionist." Now, If it had been two
white rabbits or a pigeon, or even a
quacking duck, which had got out OF
control suddenly and bitten the owner
the yarn would be credible. but what
was the illusionist doing with an ele-
phant?
He could hardly have been in the
habit of producing him from the inside
of a tall hat Second thoughts pro
duced the explanation
Toulouse is in the Midi of France
1t is not so very far from Tarascon,
and no Toulousanian could be con-
tent with an ordinary animal story. 1t
had to be an elephant.

Menace of Aliens
A Serious Matter

Allentown, Pa.-"There is no more
important subject to consider than the
restriction of further admission to
this country of the unemployed sur
plus labor of Europe, which has
shown itself to be dangerous to the
welfare of American labor" says
David Williams, editor of the Penn
sylvania Labor Herald.
The Labor editor points out that
when railroad shop employees return
ed to work they found that employ
ers used "these alien strikebreakers"
to beat down wages and working con-
ditions.
"Any business man knows that he
does not get the trade from the low
paid foreigner that he gets from the
higher-paid organized workers. Yet
how often do we find the business
man, who must depend upon the trade
from those who work for wages, lin
ing up with the manufacturers who
want to cut down wages.
"The United States is of some
size, but not big enough to assimilate
the unemployed population of Europe
and maintain our present standards
of living. Failure to protect the
wage earners will cause suffering and
trouble later on"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-12-21
Suddenly Ralph burst out laughing.

Suddenly Ralph burst out laughing.
Posing as martyr-the idea; a

Capitalists Are Their
Own Santa Claus
(By Federated Press)

Observation-Disclosures plums in
the form of $21 ,638, ,533 in extra div
idends were distributed to the stock
holders of 80 leading corporations
during November. These pleasant
little Christmas surprises were paid
out of the huge profits which wage
earners have been rolling up for their
concerns during the past year. The
stockholders didn't do as much to de-
serve these extra handouts as does
the average lackey with an eye out
for Christmas tip. They simply sat
tight with their securities safely
stored in some safe deposit vault.
Stockholders in the Ingersoll- Rand
company got away with the biggest
slice, receiving total of $4,360,000
in cash and $2,180,000 in stock. This
company manufactures air compress
sors, pneumatic tools and general
mining, tunnelling and quarrying ma
chinery. The large amount of con-
struction work during the year as
sured a good demand for it's products.
Other corporations which disbursed
extra dividends of more than mil
lion dollars include Eastman Kodak
with $2,520,438, Pittsburgh Plate
Glass with $1,856,745, U. S. Steel with
$1,270,756, and Vacuum Oil with ST.
100000.
Ten out of the 80, or more than
one-quarter of the total number, were
corporations manufacturing building
materials and supplies. Together
they presented their stockholders
with $12,277,803 in extra dividends, or
considerably more than one-half of
the total This shows that the owners
of these building material and supply
concerns are reaping big profits as
result of the present high cost of
building.
Six of the concerns are engaged in
the production of food, including two
the corporations productive must con-
tinue to squeeze their holiday plea
sures out of the same meagre wage
which has barely provided the essen
tials of life throughout the year. This
sugar companies, packing company,
and the General Baking company.
