UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily
was hopping through the woods when
lie happened to pass little pond of
water that was almost frozen over.
There was little space of clear
water in the middle, and from this
opening sad voice came, saying:
"Oh, dearl Oh, dear! What shall
I do?" :.
"Myi That sounds like trouble, y

DEAD FTUNE

The more or less Italian city of Fume is in bad
shape The commerce which once flowed through it
has gone elsewhere-down the Elbe and Danube to Sa
lonka and to small ports along the Damatian coast,
or to Trieste TIE railways leading from the rich
hinterland are rustng, the harbor frontage is
grown with grass the bridges out of commission.
Stores and hotels stand empty, workers idle and
impoverished and the population is steadily declining
The town is dead"
The Italians have insisted on dominating Fiume,
in spite of the international agreement that should
be 'free port" Italian flags everywhere the
deserted Streets and taxes collected by Italian
thorities Wherefore the Jugo-Savs, for whom Fiume
is natural window on the sea-" have boycotted it
and using instead, ports far less accessible and
expensive. The poor Humans, ground between
the two racial millstones, see nothing but ruin.
Thus nationality, which goes by the name of pa
triotism, triumphs economic law and common
Italy has plenty of seaports and waterfront; Ju
go-Slava sorey needs that support yet the two neigh
zbors cannot agree to use it in neighborly fashion.
There is picture of Europe. Too much national
ism, resulting in dog-n-the manger policies, with
oic barriers at every frontier is making impossible
for most of the countries in Europe to live in peace
and prosperity. And perhaps lot of our 100 per
cent Americans would insist country doing the
thing, instead of coming to busnesske arrange
ments with neighbors, if we lived over there.

WORLD COURT SUPPORT

The Chamber of Commerce of the United States
is about to start campaign for American partlclpa-
ton in the Permanent Court of international Justice
The Chamber will urge American membership on
basis that will not be Objectionable the 46 nations
already belonging but will insist such reservations
as it considers desirable to safeguard American inter-
ests and conciliate American critics.
Chief among the reservations contemplated are
specific understanding that entering the Court of JUS
tce will not mean coming under the jurisdiction of the
League of Nations that this country does not accept
the optional clause which makes compulsory any de-
cision of the Court Thus though there may be some
degree of moral obligation assumed there will be
legal obligation, and the United States Will retain
freedom of action in any controversy
The national Chamber of Commerce is taking this
course because it thinks participation with the other
nations in such international tribunal will be of great
business interest added to the interest already shown
by great church and labor groups and by womens or
ganzations, may make the issue far more alive
than it has been for the last few months. There is
large and varied body of organized opinion for the
Court and there does not to be much organized
opposition to it except in the United States Senate
