Reason for Pussy willows

Said Grandpa Cat, "In Olden days
They had some very curious ways.
They used to switch a little kit
If he forgot and scratched Bit"
To Willowland, where switches grow,
Old Mother Nature CHANGED to go,
And saw the switches. Obi" said she,
Poor little kit! Now, let me see!
What can do to help the kittens%
She made some pillows, soft as NIT
tens
And with the very finest stitches,
Sewed them on all the willow switches.
For then it did not hurt bit
When Father Cat switched little Kit.
1t was long, long time ago
They had those curious ways, you
know.
Can still be seen on pussy willows.

NOT DISPOSED TO BE UNFAIR

considering the important WORK
Am. bv Owen D. Young in connec-

h.. some knowledge Of foreign con-
ditious. Consequently his conclusion
that these call for patience ana con-
.,Aarateness on our part seems en-
+,t,ad To some weight. He would not
have his country impose un1alr
terms. or such that the way to lu-
.,,r. Assault Of debt and trouble
would be opened.
Among the people Of this country
those who subscribed to Liberty

over. It is annoying to listen TO tae
ava.ions of responsibility too oiten
Attempted by our debtors.
Mr.. Young also had interesting
comment to make about the Worio
Court. There was about 1t the saw
ing grace Of common sense more
convincing we believe. than the
technical. critical. not to say impos-
.,bls attitude Of Senator Borah to-
ward this question. Mr.. Young says
/ lot in these words:
1--WE delay joining World Cour'
while we debate the question OF ma
f.onal sovereignty and endeavor 10
show that the principles OF 1nterna-
tional jurisprudence are not sum
GENTLY worked out to warrant our
taking the alleged risk.
"Iust as il international Jurlspru-
dence ever would be worked out un-

error. those principles out OF real
cases which require practical deci-
sion. In that way our common law
has grown and is growing. lp .tna1
way our international law will grow
let the debates and education go on
I am not decrying their value but
do say let us supplement them WITH
action, carefully and wisely taken
but action. Let US join Worio
Court"
In other words the World Court Is
admittedly a goal which invites oul
reason and aspiration. Shall we not
take the first step toward it, instead
Of waiting in the vain hope to see II
perfected without our assistance
That is the question to be answered
The reply should be prompt. Mr.
Young has stated it fairly. Are we
disposed to be unfair? We do moi
believe it. whether with regard IL
the foreign loans or the World Court
Being Americans, however, we mus
perceive the need of action, the need
of advancing. 1t is either go forward
