0UTLAWING WAR

The Assembly of the League OF Nations has tack
led the American proposal to outlaw war; with more
vigor than thought possible. The League, per-
haps stung by charges of futiity busy providing it
sell with set of teeth. Under the leadership of Dr.
Benes, foreign minister of CzechoSovakia ably sup
ported by the British delegates and assisted by un-
official Americans, it has prepared remarkable pro-
gram for dealing with peace-breaking nations
The plan set forth in formal "protocol" binds
signatory powers-and these may include the whole
league membershipto submit all their international
quarrels to arbitration. judicial" disputes must be
taken to the World Court OF Justice. political" dis
putes which that body is supposed to handle must
be submitted to the League Council And in this big
important class of international controversies mere
majority of the council will decide the issue.
All this is systematic avoidance of war; Any
naIon winch Will not submit dispute to arbitration
VIII be regarded automatically confessng itself the
aggressor, and will be declared such, and outawed
accordlngly, and proceeded against as a dangerous
criminal 1t Will be blockaded economically, financial
~ and II necessary, mtary. Great Britain has of
fered to use her navy to bring such outlaw SUBJ
mission Other powers may furnish armies for the
same purpose, used officially police agencies under
the authority of the league.
Here is something in which America. as the big
gest power outside of the league, very much con-
cerned The other powers would like American par
tclpaton, but ready to go ahead without America
Whether this country will be for against the plan
officially or unoffieally it is too early to decide The
important thing at present is to follow the course of
proceedings at Geneva and determine where the inter-
est of this country lies and how can best safeguard
that interest.

THOUSANDS FOR A TREE

mate monuments to human beings need not grudge a
few thousands to keep alive so notable a tree.
In this case, however the expenditure may be in
vain. The tree had been too long neglected. It's
dition may be judged from the fact that it required
three tons of concrete to fill the holes and 80 cables
to brace weak limbs.
A few hundreds, spent judiciously from time to
time in the past, might have warded off decay and

PAYING FOR THE ROADS

The pavements of should be replaced with new
ones, wider and stronger than the old, and costing
more money. But replacement is difficult because the
farmers who own abutting property do not want to
start paying assessments paving before they
have finished paying for the DID, On many main

Cities that did it, We'd rather endure this DID, broken
pavement for few more years than buy
for outsiders to destroy again. Let them pave some
other road
This may not be far-sighted policy for the
local residents, but it is thoroughly human attitude.
The only apparent solution to the problem is to put
of the cost of paving main highways upon the
county whole and also upon the state, since so
much traffic nowadays comes from the county lines.
1t is right, too for the federal government to pay
liberal share because motor traffic is becoming
tional in scope y 81
Road paving is less and less focal problem, and
this fact must be recognized in assessing the costs
Otherwise the needed roads cannot be built.

Chief Justice of Conn.
 Supreme Court Up-
 holds Judge Maltbie And States Attorney Alcorn In Their Drive.
Declares That Campaign for Enforcement Should Start at Upper Rather Than
 Lower End of Social Scale

Bridgeport, April 1.-The procedure of Judge Wm. NJ. Maltbie and States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn in the Hartford county superior court in the trial of two society bootleggers" was upheld by Chief Justice Wheeler of the supreme court today in a formal statement issued here. Justice Wheel CT further urged hat enforcement of all laws, including the prohibition law should begin if possible at the top and go down rather than at the bottom of the social scale" His state ment follows;
 ''I have read the story in the Jour nal-Courier of this morning and aside from the vote it recites as passed at the judges meeting yesterday, it is pure fiction. Nothing was said at our meeting concerning Judge Maltoic's judicial action nor that of States At torney Alcorn's course in" the cases against Bliss and Siegel for violation of the liquor law, The subject of Judge Maltbie's statement from the bench to and of the patrons of these bootlegger criminals was not mem toned at our meeting. Judge Malt bie's course was sound in law, sound in morals, fearless and courageous and must pisve s helpful influence in aid of law enforcement. If his example were emulated by every trial judge in our land We would have country where law and order were better sup ported and respected thap We have today. wrote Judge Maltbie imme- diately upon learning of his action, commenting and thanking him for his great service to the cause of law enforcement
 "one thing more. ] believe that enforcement of the prohibition law and of all laws sHould begin, if pos sible at the top of the social scale and 20 down rather than atsihe bottom and go up. Obedience 10 law should be required of high and low. rich and roor, educated and mitigate alike, without respect to person. creed, rae- or color. This is the principle whica nnderlies Judge Maltbie's and Mr. AL corn's action, and American institu- lions will be stronger if this principle is universally upheld by public offi- cials,"
