only with new methods, one of its
primary ends being to help health

value Of an innovation. The board,
however, undertakes cooperation only
with the clear understanding that the
project in hand is eventually to stand
on it's own financial feet.
In 1S different countries and in 220
counties in 26 different States in our
country the International Health Board
backed up the local officials in their
struggles with the hookworm prob.
lem, with the result that nearly a
million and a half people were treat
ed. Around hookworm disease as
a nucleus the International Health
Board has a general educational plan
to instruct the populace Of tropical
and subtropical countries in SANTA
ton and preventive measures against
all disease. This idea has spread to
Europe and cooperation along these
lines has been extended to Franco,
Austria. Poland and CZechoslovakia.

Judicial process Is the method by
which, in the private life OF men.
earlier ana violent methods OF settling
controversies have been displaced. In
the relations between nations, arbi-
tration and judicial process have
been doing their quiet and helpful
work for many years. international
arbitration and the work of an inter
national court are two aspects OF one
and the same method of approaching,
defining and settling a controversy
between nations. International ar
bitrations have steadily tended to be-
come more and more judicial in form
and in fact, and there is building a
body Of international common law
which one day will be systematized

1t will be seen, therefore. that
international peace is not to be OBJ

enacting statues or, more particularly,
by declaring that war is crime.
That would be a mere empty and
futile geste, to make ridiculous the
nation which offered so absurd a
declaration to a watching world.
