THE WORLD COURT

To clear the air for those who
are not familiar with the status of
the International world court
which has fwon the approval of
such politically distant people as
Woodrow Wilson and Col. Harvey
it may be mentioned that the only
connection it has with the League
of Nations is that the League
elects-each member nation hay
ing an equal voice-the fifteen
judges, who sit for a nine-year
term. John Basse:t Moore of the
L. S was elected to this bench.
Once formed the court acts in
dependently. The League has no
power to review the decisions
The court itself builds up a body
of law on which to base these de-
cisions. The decisions do not rest
on armed force. but on public Opin-
ion emphasized by the prestige the
court by its integrity, is expected
to build up.
This is the whole essential po-
stion of the international world
court, and its complete connection
with the League of Nations.--De-

ANOTHER CAVELL CASE

Before the bar of humanity ana
civilization, Soviet Russia STANDS
condemned FOR the murder OF Vicar
General Butchkavitch even as
PrusSian Germany was condemned
for the murder of Nurse Edith Ca
veil. Russian communism, like
German militarism. has richly
earned universal eXecration. Both
events go down to history as bar
barrie cruel;ies palliated neither by
political nor military necessity.
In vain the communistic govern
mcnt of Russia answers the pro-
test OF civilization that the Offense
OF the Catholic prelate was poll
teal and not religious. The event
OF horror which even blOOd-Sat-
urated Moscow announced briefly
and reluctantly must be viewed in
the light of the declared attitude OF
the communist; to religion, which
is avowedly and deliberately his
tile. Since the elimination OF the
revolution the soviet government
has studiously followed IL policy OF
atheism and its purpose was mani

flucnce of conscience. To demollSh
the hold Of religion upon the minds
OF men and women through the in
stinCtivc sense of allegiance to a

A most Illuminating article on

Never in the history Of the world

this sooner or later. 1t can brazen
