Judge Moore's resignation was determined upon by
him as a means Of permitting him TO give his whole
time to the compilation Of international law up to
date. The work which he has set for himself Is really
stupendous. Beginning with the earliest times, he aims
to accumulate all written records of precedent-fcrming
dealings between sovereignties and SO to codify and
index them as to make them accessible to the student
Of history and of law.
Alongside this undertaking., the work of Grotius
will be small indeed. For a single man II is q task
literally impossible. But Judge Moore understands
how to organize a staff and apportion to il the duties
which cooperation and supervision can accomplish.
Judge Moore rightly judges that this work will be OF
greater worth to the world than any decision he might
help to formulate. should he remain on the League OF
Nations bench for the rest OF his lifetime. BY inclina-
ton. BY training and by experience Judge Moore is
peculiarly fitted for the work which he has set his
hand to. Possibly no other man in the world today can
bring to this enterprise greater aptness or greater
prestige.

Loree and the Southwest

From New York comes rumors that L. +. Loree,
rail merger, whose name has been linked with the
greatest railroad financial activities of recent years,
and who recently sold out, flock, stock and barrel" is
directing his attention toward South Texas.
This may be merely "rumor," but there is much in
South Texas to attract a man Of Mr.. Loree's financial
lrenius and vision. Between Houston and the Rio
k;rande and Brownsville and FL Paso lies an immense
A.ea-an area as extensive as Jim Hill found in the
Invest a half century ago, but far more productive
with a genial cline that is attracting thousands OF
tf# ers from the blizzard" states each year. Where
n he United States is there a land more attractive
IONA man of Mr.. Loree's genius; for the man whose
amfkion in life is to see his capital develop wealth
frot 1.-THE wilderness; to set the pace for progress and
to &&ate prosperous communities in the virgin lands9
NtIt Jim Hill did for the Northwest, L. r. Loree,
whok 4 assesses much the same genius for organization
and Atnce, could do for the Southwest. As the
Northwest was an inspiration to Hill so would the
Southwest be an inspiration to Loree. The develop
ment that would come as a result Of his organization
ability and finance would be almost inconceivable. For
him the Southwest would be not only a mine of almost
inexhaustible wealth, but what would probably inter-
est him more would be the almost magical response
from the millions Of virgin acres which merely await
thu advent Of q Hill or Loree.
