WORLD COURT SENTIMENT.

An impressive map appeared In the New York Times of yesterday. States where both senators favored the en- { trance by the United States into the World Court were heavily shaded; states where the senators were divid- ed, were shaded half and half; where there was doubt, white covered the area of the state. The map, glanced at causually. had decidedly black appearance. indicating that the sena- tors from most of the states favored the idea,
 This was confirmed by the figures given, stating that 73 senators favor the entrance into the court, 37 being republicans and 3s being democrats; senators against the court. two of whom are democrats and ' repub- licans, and ls senators doubtful, re- publicans and democrats.
 This map and the figures would suggest that President Harding knew pretty well what he was talking about when he declared that the sentiment in favor of our entrance to the court was overwhelming. It indicates, too that he took stand favored by the representatives of the people. and 1t is interesting 10 note that opposition 10 the court comes chiefly from the republicans. when it is noted that there are senators 30 opposed and only democrats. The even division Of those in favor or the court idea is gratifying 10 people who arc eager to sec this matter considered from viewpoint rot influenced by politics.
 But the present feeling in the sen- ate in favor of the court does not i mean that the idea will prevail at i once Where the republicans employ ! all the artifces of delay which they | practised in regard to the Treaty of | Versailles, there is almost no limit to the time that may be consumed before q matter opposed even by a very small number may be finally decided.

WHICH WAY. ENGLAND?

The present situation in England
 with its necessity for naming new
 premier in the place Of Bonar Law resigned. is interesting even to Amer jeans who are not wrapped up in poli-
 tics or in consideration of foreign af-
 fairs. It is always interesting to watch
 great nation as its sentiment
 changes or becomes more fixed. The
 present situation across the water
 gives the chance now. to see which
 way England is drifting--toward an
 intensfying of the importance of
 aristocracy so repugnant to people of
 this country, CT toward the suggestion
 of democracy upon which our own
 government is founded.
 Thu ultimate choice of the new
 Premier lies with the King. There is a certain feeling that King George Is not the forbidding, lofty and arrogant sort of man a king is generally sup posed to be. The visit of the young Prince of Wales to this country, and his pleasing personalty-as well, per haps as his frequent falls off the backs of horses--has tended to strengthen that idea of the royal fam ily There are two men prominently mentioned as possible premiers Marquis Curzon, present Foreign Sec retary, who stands for the old regime in his place in the house of Lords, and Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor of the Exchequer, business man and &C., tive leader of the house of commons If one of these men is named there may be an indication whether or not a greater recognition. of the value of placing at the head of the government to the people than the member of the house of lords would be.
 WE III iiitilIeb hHo" soiliNtulliE VI Stanley Baldwin, who came here with the debt funding commission, made some tactless remarks about represen- tatives from the West, and went home to speak pretty plainly and fairly about us In spite of those remarks. We, in America, would be inclined to lean toward Stanley Baldwin rather than toward the representative of the old Tory idea--the member of the | house of Lords, Lord Curzon. For 1 that reason we would deem England l fortunate If the kings selection should | be Stanley Baldwin. But realizing the l slow development of any innovation in i hat country, we should not be sur orised If, now that 1t comes to the | 1oint, the choice of the king should be , he man who represents the sort of England we In American understand 1 t to be. Selection of Baldwin, how yer, would indicate that more belief n the wisdom Of the people now obtains there than in the past.

THE ROADS

Of course we can not boast great deal just yet about our roads in the city. But the work Of repairing them after the terrible winter has been progressing far morp rapidly than the spring season. and we have no cause for excessive complaint on that score.
 And probably the road Of great in- terest 10 people in this city at the moment is that between New Britain and pIainviile. Each time q motorist has to stop his car and wait until the cars from the other end of the "one way traffic" stretch have passed so that he can go ahead he should occupy his mind with picture of what that road will be after it ist A concrete road from this city to Plainville will revolntionize

MEETINGS NEXT WEEK

Three meetings of importance have been tentatively set down for next week. including n session of the city meeting board to hear report or the school survey committee, public hearing on the advisability of con- ducting a municipal swimming pool in north end park. and meeting of the committee to discuss ways and means of raising money to pay New Britain's share of the expense or a disabled veterans camp at Mantle this summer.
 The school survey committee VIII probably conclude the preparation or it's report this week, after which few days notice will be given mem bers of the city meeting board. It will probably be assembled in the early part of the week. Mayor A, NJ. Paonessa plans to have the swimming pool hearing a few days thereafter after which the veterans camp com mittee, consisting of the mayor, ex- Mayor George A. Quigley and Robert C. Vance will meet.

PLANNING oIn CITY

Tn New Britain there is city plan
 commission. i's members are repre-.
 sentative persons who have m ariis.
 tic appreciation Of beauty any symme-
 try. and who possess knowledge or
 practical things IS well. Quite natur.
 ally when some person active in the
 government Of the city, or especially
 interested in seeing 1t do all the
 things t would he wise 10 do, eonsid- CTS New Brltain's physical aspect, that
 person thinks of the city plan com
 mission as the body to be consulted.
 Recently there has been eonsidera. ble discussion as to tho propriety Of locating automobile garages in certain places: objections have been made to the sites selected. Recently. too. the idea of zoning the city has been dis cussed. a movement which has been mentioned frequently in these col umns. But those who are now con- cerned over both these matters are somewhat embarrassed about going at these matters properly. feeling that they should be taken up by the city plan commission or. at least, with the cooperation of that body. The com mission is composed Of many mem- bers and 1t Is difficult for them to ar- raIge to get together and give active support to any movements requiring frequent meetings and extensive, | united study Of practical conditions. | It would seem that those interested in | having the zoning system adopted by the city--and there are members of the common council who have already studied this matter-might be ap- pointed as a committee to look 1t up. | working with complete accord with the plan commission, draft such | ordinances with the aid of the cor poration counsel, and then submit the plan first to the city plan commission and then if approved by 1t. to the common council. Many cities have such ordinances already. and such committee might profit by a study of them, patterning the New Britain ordinances after those already in operation.
 This is a matter that becomes less valuable the longer 1t is delayed It must come eventually. An orderly growth of the city from now on would be of far great advantage than such growth later after different localities had been harmed because buildings were constructed with no general plan for city improvement or maintenance of the present value of property There should be no delay in getting this movement started.

World Court Plan May
 Be Taken Into Churches

Chicago. May 2i.-Dr. Cornelius woelfkln. pastor of the Park avenue Baptist church Of New York. said in an address last night that an attempt is being made to free the world court proposal from politics by making 1t an issue in the churches of the coun- try. He said some time ago he re- ceived from the department of state a telegram asking him to bring up the question of a world court from a religious standpoint. If the church took up the issue" Dr. Woelfkin said, politics would disappear and feel Ing Of righteousness would take its place with the world court idea. Then we would be on our way to a real
