Leagues International Court finds
the matter at issue to be solely
within the domestic jurisdiction OF
state. this decision shall not prevent
consideration of the situation by the
Council or by the Assembly,; the
Implication being that action shai,
be confined to consideration ana
shall not extend to arbitration.
But Is not even that impairment
and likely to create more ill-feeling
than amity? Suppose that Neighbor
Smith complains to the rest OF the
village that he is aggrieved by the
conduct Of Neighbor Jones In not
being willing for the Smith children
to come to the Jones house and join
the Jones children in sliding down
the Jones cellar door; and that the
Village Forum, on the steps OF Dea-
con Browns grocery store, decides
that that is a matter entirely within
the jurisdiction of the Jones family,
and is nobody's business; but that,
nevertheless, it should be publicly
considered" by the Village Forum.

their opinion of Neighbor Jones'
conduct. Is it conceivable that the
peace. good will and general neigh
borliness of the village would thus
be promoted?
All, but we may go a step beyond
that. Suppose the Village Forum
should say that it Is for it, alone,
and not at all for Neighbor Jones,
to determine what are and what are
not his domestic affairs, and that it
holds, despite his protests to the con-
trary, that it is required by the pub
lie interests of the village that the
Smith children shall be permitted to
slide down the Jones cellar door,
and If they are not thus permitted,
social and economic sanctions
whatever a Sanction" is-shall be
employed against the recalcitrant
Jones family. What then? Wouldnt
that be likely to raise merry hob in
Wayback Centre? But that is pre-
cisely analogous to what the Proto-
col OF Peace provides, in insisting
that nation shall not decide for it.
self what are it's domestic affairs,
but must let that be determined for
It by the Council of the League of

USE WHAT WE NOW HAVE

There are some, agitated by the in
crease in crime. who argue there
should be restoration Of the death
penalty. But of what avail would
that be II the criminal be not appre-
hended, convicted and sentenced to
death?
Warden Lawes Of Sing Sing says
that only three per cent of the per-
sons responsible for 1900 homicides
in New York City in the six years
from 1918 to 1923 received the death
sentence; that during the same time
the police had killed so per cent more
individuals than were put to death
in the electric chair.
The warden added: I'VE are pass
ing through a period of disregard for
law on all sides and by all classes. "
A death sentence inflicted only on
an occasional offender. who might
have no one to speak a good word
or pull string for him, is horrible
perversion of justice.
Before increasing penalties we bet :
ter try increasing efficiency in ap-
pretending. trying and convicting,
and sentencing. too. We better also
insist that the pardoning power Law
ishly employed will not be tolerated.
Until we have done that which we
should with the tools with which we
are equipped we better not expert
ment with the new ones. which bear
such a poor repute in actual applica-
ton as that given by Warden Lawes.
