DELAY VOTE ON
WORLD COURT .
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM Il. HUTCHINSON
Staggering along under sting
ing attacks from the "irrecon-
ciliable" camp, the proposal for
American adherence to the World
Court today faced the first of a
long series of delays while the
Senate considers revenue and ap-
preparation bills.
More Delay Certain
Administration leaders planned to
call up the 1868, 100000 Postoffice
and Treasury supply bill during
the day, thus forcing the Court
temporarily out of. the Senatorial
spotlight. Further delay will be
encountered in reaching a decision
on the Court by consideration of
other appropriation bills and espe-
cially of the new tax reduction bill
which will reach the Senate for
debate early next week.
If Court -adherents attempt to
keep their measure before the
Senate in preference to the tax
bill, they Will meet certain deteat.
A majority OF Administrator
spokesmen, including some who
have led the fight for the Court,
have announced their determination
to follow President Coolidge's re-
quest for early enactment of the
tax bill even at the price of de-
laying final action on the Court.
Democratic finance leaders also
have served notice they favor con-
sideration of the tax bill rather
than continued debate on the
Court.
Foes Plan Hard Fight
The little group of "irrecon-
ciliables,' while facing q ire
mendous task in overcoming
five.to-one majority in favor of
the Court, welcome each delay.
They, meanwhile, will launch an
Undermining attack upon friends
or the Court in the hope that the
American people will be aroused to
such an extent that, enough Sena-
tors will desert the Court to in
sure it's defeat.

that Mrs. Gaines mistake is a very
natural one.
My only purpose in correcting her
is that the reader might get the idea
that Theosophy is religion. 1t recog-
nizes the real value and truth in all
the great religions of the world; but
it, in itself, is philosophy of living.
One needs only to subscribe to the
following three tenets to become a fell
low of The Theosophical Society of
America:
l. To form a nucleus of the uni
versal brotherhood of humanity, with
out distinction Of race, creed, sex,
caste or color; (2) to encourage the
study of comparative religion.

Theosophists, white and colored,
work together harmoniously because
they understand, at least partially, this
mighty plan of evolution. They know
that the most important part of man

That they are like the successive coats

THE RECENT MEETING OF
THE AMERICAN THEOSO-
PHICAL SOCIETY, AT
THE HOTEL SHER-
MAN THIS CITY

Julius F. Taylor,
Editor Of The Broad AK.
Dear Sir:
Would the readers of The Broad AK
be interested to know just why it is
that "the large body of American
whites" known as The American
Theosophical Society is sincerely liv-
ing the protested principles of brother
hood, without distinction as to race,
creed, caste, or color" as stated by
Mrs. Irene M. Gaines in her article on
September 4th, of your paper, review
ing the activities of that body in their
fortieth annual convention?
The reason lies in the fact that
Theosophists know the hidden truths
about race origins, truths which the
leaders Of the colored race should
learn, so that they can bring their
people to greatest development with
the least strain and unhappiness.
A Theosophist, colored or white,
realizes just how much brotherhood
really means. He knows just how
much the whole of humanity is re-
lated. Theosophists are aware that,
ages ago, the Egos which are now
building their bodies out of the cells,
the tissues, the energies, which are
called white, then were building their
bodies for thousands Of years, life after
life after life, out of the cells the It's
sues, the energies which made up
BLACK" bodies.
How then can Theosophists, who are
white now, help but feel warm friendli-
ness and brotherhood for Egos who
are using those bodies now. If for no
other reason, they want to help in any
way they can, and cheer while they see
their brother Egos make even better
use of those bodies than they did.
But Theosophists know more than
that to make them brotherly. They
know that evolution is Gods plan for
the universe" And they know that

When that day comes, the seeking
one goes up onto a high mountain;
and takes his bird's-eye view of such
things as race, creed, caste, color, and
servitudes as well, for all life contains
its servitudes. Slavery OF the physical
body is only one of the many servi-
tudes which all of us have gone
through, in various periods in our evo-
luton.
Until that day, man sees such
factors with "a bug s-eye view," facing
each separate, small fact so closely that
it towers over him and blocks his
larger view entirely.
One wishes that every reader Of The
Broad AK would find his way to the
Theosophical headquarters nearest
him; and make brief survey-study at
least, of the philosophy of life it pre-
sents. Merely from the cultural value
contained therein, it would be worth
while.
May l correct Mrs. Gaines very
lucid article to state that The Order of
The Star in The East and The Liberal
Catholic Church, neither one, are de
partments" or branches" of The
Theosophical Society in America
though such a large majority of the
members of both are also Theosophists
