SEE WORLD COURT
OK. IN COMMITTEE
Senate Leaders Look for Re-
port From Foreign Relations
Group This Session.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate foreign relations COM
mittee will tackle again this week the
problem of American adherence to the
World Court. a question that has been
pending some two years. 1t is the
present plan of the committee to con-
slider the subject at a meeting Wed
nesday, though it is possible that other
matters may make it impossible to
give much consideration to the court
that day.
The impression at the Capitol is
growing stronger that there may be
favorable committee action on a reso-
luton providing for adherence to the
court on the terms suggested by Presi-
dent Coolidge-which follow those ad-
vanced by the late President Harding
and Secretary Hughes, with an addi-
tional reservation. But even should
a favorable report on such a resolution
be forthcoming, it is very doubtful
that action could be had in the Senate
gress March 4.
Leans to Favoritism.
1t is felt that the sentiment in the
committee is leaning more strongly
| toward favorable action. Two new
members, Senators Mclean of Con-
necticut and Edge OF New Jersey, are
| said to look more favorably on the
proposal than did the late Senators
Lodge and Brandegee, whose places
on the committee they have taken.
The present move to bring the court
issue before the committee was ini-
tiated by Senator Swanson of Vir-
ginia, the ranking Democratic mem
Der. But Republican senators who
| feel friendly toward the plan to have
the United States Join the World
Court do not intend to be caught
mapping and compelled to support a
Democratic resolution or to vote
against the proposal. Senator Willis
| of Ohio has prepared and introduced
a resolution, which, except for its
preamble and a clause carrying out
| the view of President Coolidge, that
| the United States should not be bound
by any advisory opinions" rendered
| by the World Court upon questions
| which the United States has not vol
| unfairly submitted for its Judgment
is word for word the resolution Of
fered by Senator Swanson.
offered as Amendment.
Senator Willis resolution has been
introduced as an amendment to the
/ resolution of Senator Pepper, which
| was reported by the Senate commit
tee during the last session of Con-
| gress, and which practically sets up
another court, so stringent are it's
provisions seeking to divorce the
court from the League of Nations.
However, Senator Willis may lay 1t
before the committee, Of which he is
| a member, If there comes time
| when a, vote is to be taken on the
Swanson resolution.
There seems to be general support
in the committee for the suggestion
| that advisory opinions rendered by
the World Court upon questions
| which the United States has not sub
| mitted voluntarily for its judgment
should not be binding upon this
country. In fact, some of the mem
befs of the committee would go SO
far as to provide that the World
Court should not render such advis-
ory opinions-for the benefit of the
League of Nations, as it may do un-

TWO NEW BRITISH DIRIGIBLES
 WILL CARRY 100 PASSENGERS
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN FIVE DAYS
(Ry Associated Pressl

LONDON, Apr 2-Plans for Brit aims two mammoth super-Zeppelins are now so far advanced that it is ex- pected that the construction of the dir igibles will have been started by the middle of this year.
 It is learned that the construction plans are almost complete, and that the designers are only waiting for the necessary meteorological data before given orders for the work to be start ed
 This data will be obtained by R-33, an older British airship, which is in process of being fitted for cruise to the Near East this year
 The skeletons of the airships will be built of stainless steel, and each separate part will be capable of bear ing enormous strains. They will be equipped with seven engines, each ca pablo of developing 600 horsepo power, and burning heavy gas oil fuel instead of gasoline. This will not only reduce to minimum the danger of fire, but will considerably reduce running costs. It is anticipated that the airships will have speed of between seventy and eighty miles an hour
 1 Accommodation is to be provided | ahno, ,I "a air for sengers. They will have every com fort and every luxury as i'll an ocean liner, and it is expected that for the 1 first time in the history of the arship 1 passengers will be able to smoke. The 1 sleeping accommodation will be most luxurious, and will be on a separate deck from the smoking and living rooms.
 When completed the airships will first be used on flights from London to Bombay India: Airship stations are to be constructed at Darlington, the starting point, and at Cairo and Bombay. The stations will be equip ped with repair sheds, mooring masts, and commodious hotel accommodation for passengers.
 The trip to India will be carried out l in two stages, and will occupy about five days or a saving of ten days on 1 the present means of travel
 With the ultimate extension of the airship's range to Australia it will be possible to reach Australia from Eng land in about eleven days instead of 27 days needed at the present time.
 Fare Is S275
 The total cost of the two craft will be about S2,5OO,OOO, half of which is being borne by the British Air Min istry and half by private Enterprises. When in use for commercial purposes they will carry crew of twenty-five including stewards and other person al servants.
 The fare from London to Bombay will be about s275s per passenger and a charge of three cents will, it is be- ieved be made for the carriage of each ounce of mail.
 Electricity will be used throughout the lighting of the airships, and the kitchens will be equipped with cleo trical cooking apparatus on the prin- ciple of those used in the ZR-3.
 Plans are now under consideration for feeder aeroplane services to link up nearby parts with the airship's route.

Have a Heart!

Ii would really seem az if the urban
sparrows were having q hard enough
time to make living nowadays in
modern conditions of transportation
without driving them out of their
nightly roosts in order that their chief
beneath unsullied. The plan to rout
them out with a fire hose from GER
tain trees in the business district has
aroused protests from those who have
a friendly feeling for these little chat
terers. Perhaps the plan will be
abandoned. having already been post
poned because of the arousal of I'M
due public curiosity.
Sparrows are oddly Gregarious and
like to assemble in multitudes in GER
tain roosts. No one has ever yet de-
termined why they pick particular
trees. and from time to time Shift
from one tree to another. Their night
ly chipping just before settling down
to rest sometimes becomes a cIamor
heard above the noise of the traffic.
To many ears this is not an unpleas-
ant sound. being far more agreeable
than the honking of motor horns and
the changing of car bells. True, the
citys house cleaners are bothered and
some car owners are annoyed. But a
motorist who parks in certain places
does so at his own risk.
Would il not be we'll. therefore,
rather than rout the sparrows out
will surely go elsewhere and perhaps
be more of a nuisance than In their
former roosts-to post mo parking"

these particular aviary apartments?

Whatever the result, the Kalamazoo
Gazette feels that the United States
Will pay heavy price in il-feeling on
the part of the losing disputant for
years to come and it will be many
years, we may expect, before Ameri-
can diplomacy will allow itself to be
involved again in such a thankless
job" The San Francisco Bulletin
comments on the fact that while Lo-
carne has increased hope for Eu.
rOpean peace. 1t is doubtful if the
Chilean-Peruvian plebiscite in the
Tacna- africa district will do as much
for good will along the Pacific coast
Of South America"
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that Chile is at fault at the present
time. The difficulty is that Chile
holds Tacna-Arica and faces the
chance to lose it. while Peru has moth
ing to lose and everything to gain, ;"
says the Oakland Tribune. Calling
the actions of the Chileans "obstrep-
erous," the Seattle Daily Times ad-
vises them ito calm down." as it notes
the sending of the United States
cruiser Denver to africa, Chile Con-
tinuing, the Times says: THE with
drawal of Chile from the sessions of
the commission and the inf1ammatory
speeches Of President Alessa ndro are
sufficient justification for the prudent
move. The presence of a warship or
two has a quieting effect on trouble
makers"

The Traffic Bill.

Having been introduced in the
House by Representative biantoh ot
Texas, and in the Senate by Senator
Capper of Kansas, the bill to increase
the powers of the traffic director OF
the District of Columbia is rapidly
gaining momentum as one of the most
desirable legislative items to be enact
ed at this session of Congress.
Giving the traffic director, for the
first time since he took office, real
authority over the vehicular traffic of
sae city, the bill. If passed by Con
grass, shout result in immediate i'm
provemeTts in an admittedly serious
situation.
Hampered by a division of author
?ty, Mr.. Eldridge has been unable to
carry out effectively the terms of the
traffic code passed at the last session.
It IS to cure this condition that addi-
tional legislation is needed.
Clear-cut and concise in structure,
opposition from either residents Of
the District or members of Congress.
It provides simply that the traffic di-
rector shall have assigned to him the
members of the Police Department on
traffic duty. 1t gives him authority to
regulate all vehicular traffic. including
street cars, and it solidifies his posi-
ton as an important member Of the
Official family of the District.
According to the terms of the bill,
Mr.. Eldridge can, in the future. ac-
tuaIly control traffic in Washington.
He will have the power to accomplish
the betterments which Congress in
tended in the passage of the traffic
code. He will be no longer only a
"fgurehead"
In giving Mr.. Eldridge additional
authority the bill steps on no ones
toes. Apparently Ne only opposition
will come from the street car com
nanies, who believe that they possess
superior rights in the traffic scheme
Of the city, and the sooner it is borne
home to them that every user of the
street must cooperate in promoting
frictionless traffic the better will be
the results.
Some minor items in the bill may
not fnd favor in Congress. These may
we'll be eliminated without disturbing
the desirable features of the measure,
which give the director a mobile
squad Of specially trained traffic Of
ncers to enforce the laws laid down by
his Office
Centralized traffic powers and en-
forcement have long been the aim in
Washington. Every citizen of this city
should therefore get strongly behind
this legislation and support the move
ment for model traffic control in the
National Capital.

cal extent would destroy the funda-
mental character of the Congress.
In former times when Senators were
elected by the Legislatures It was occa.
sionally contended that they could be
Instructed" as to their votes by the
Legislatures. Rarely however, did Sen
ators yield to or follow such instruc-
lions. but, on the contrary, they re-
sisted them on the ground that they
were officers of the Federal Govern
ment and not Of the States, and that
the source of their selection did not
render them subject to direction or
control from the State capitals. This
question was never settled legally, for
there was no legal method Of deter
mining il. However, in the course of
time the principle became established
that instructions" could not be en-
forced and that once elected Senators
were free to follow their own con
sciences.
II would seem that this principle is
the determining factor in the case Of
the Senatordesignate from North Da-
kota. Under the present system Of
senatorial elections by direct vote of
the people, instituted by constitutional
amendment. in most cases vacancies
are filled by special elections and ap-
pointments by governors are rare. 1t
is desirable that the Senate roll be
always complete. and yet emergencies
may arise 10 render vacancies IN

are not in keeping with the spirit of
