SHOULD WATCH CLUBS

The big hotels and rich clubs that
are gathering places for violators Of
the prohibition law and for careless
society folks, should not be disregard
ed by officers of the law, and only the
cheap little soft drink parlors and
cafes given attention. Both should
be given equal attention.

United States are not independent be- cause their salaries must be raised by the treasury department.
 Tt is clearly absurd, to speak of the court as the private attorney of the League of Nations. On the whole the new court represents the logical development of movement under way for generation"
 Professor Hudson disagreed with critics Of the court who had declared the present personnel was practical ly unknown in this country. Taking the judges one by one. he recounted their careers and asserted the courts bench as a whole comprised the most erudiate and influential which could be gathered from the profession. Even among the deputy judges, he added, were individuals worthy by special training and experience to sit in any court.
 As envisage it," Professor Hud- son saik the court will serve to smooth out constitutional difficulties of other international bodies and in that capacity alone will be invalu- able.''
 He recounted that one of the first advisory opinions handed down was that on the question of jurisdiction of the international labor council which determined at once a matter which had been 'haggled over for months and might have been kept alive inde- fnitely."
