an advisory opinion as to whether
future advisory opinions should be re-
queSted by unanimity or a majority of

only a majority was necessary, NJ.
Rolin was confident that the United
States would not insist upon this
reservation.
He asserted that the United States
Senate had proceeded on the theory
that unanimity was essential and that
If 1t now was esta blished that the

1t would remodel the reservation.
England Opposes Plan.
Speaking for Great Britain. Sir
Cecil Hurst opposed the Belgian sug.
gestion that the court be asked for
an opinion, believing it unwise to
call for such a ruling which might
be binding for all time. He remarked
that, in the dispute between Great
Britain and Turkey. the court had
ruled that parties to dispute did
not possess the right to vote. and
American reservation was based on
misconceptions.
Italy attempted to save the situa.

agree to adhere to the court on the

the prerOgatives of the members OF

Gil procedure.
NJ. F'romageot Of France. again
speaking, said no good would be
achieved by appealing to the court of

ity necessary, the parties to a dispute
have no right to vote: hence the
United States could not vote and
would not get what she wanted under
her fifth reservation, namely, the
privilege of veto.
He supported the Italian motion
adding that in writing to the United
States it should be made clear that
nothing more could be done than to
accord her the same rights as were
enjoyed by the members of the

RY PAUL PREHN,

wrestling Coach. University of Illinois.
TNERH regular boy wants to
excel in athletics. We who
A." have passed through boyhood
days know, because we, too, had the
same desire. 1t is human nature
that you youngsters should want to
outdo your playmates IN athletic
feats. and | want to assure you that
the world likes that indomitable
spirit in you the spirit that develops
character for the problems of man
hood Each OF you should begin
striving now to become real men. for
the world wants and needs men of
strong character, and, above every
thing else, it admires such man.
I'd like to see every boy learn
wrestling, for it is the greatest of
real "man-to-man" sports. Men actu-
ally struggle more and prove physi-
cal superiority more completely in
wrestling than in any other sport.
Every muscle in the body figures in
the struggling of wrestling and it is
that feature which builds those
strong. muscular bodies that are so
impressive in both athletic and social
gatherings.
