Geneva, March II LP,-The COM
mittee Of jurists examining the ques-
ton Of American adhesion to the
world court today discussed further
formulae, the trend Of their CONVEX
sations tending toward the position
that the United States government
should deal primarily and mainly
with the council OF the League of
Nations on the problem OF advisory
opinions.
Several Of the jurists insisted
there should be a clear distinction
between the political and juridical
aspects Of the question, and thought
there should be a clear understand
ing that the political side should
be handled at Geneva.
Nicholas Politis. the Greek dele
gate, introduced proposal based
upon the formula of Elihu Root, the
American jurist, which emphasizes
this point and arranges for a swift
between Geneva and
Washington to determine whether
the American government has any
objection to calling for an advisory
opinion on a particular subject.
Politis For Quick Action
The noted Greek Statesman
thought that no one must lose sight
Of the fact that the privilege which
the council possesses of asking ad
visory opinions is political in char
acter and should not be interfered
with or retarded when once in oper-
alton. Hence, he wanted quick

 Senator Bingham was sent to the Senate instead of Hamilton Holt, who became a college president in Florida. Somehow one cannot help wondering whether, had Mir.

ONTARIO LIQUOR CONTROL

It appears likely that the cleo ton in Ontario on October 30 will have as it's chief issue the provin- cial control of liquor sales. Conse- quently it Is unsafe to quote either side for evidence as to the success or failure of the liquor control system. We are stimulated to make the re- mark because we saw 1t done when a prohibition paper reprinted with self evident glee an editorial from the Toronto Globe, the leading or gan of the Liberal party of the province and one opposed, by ties of both party and in principle to the liquor control law.
 And what do opponents of the present law offer? Merely a plebi- scite later to indicate public senti- ment regarding the law Neither the Liberals nor the Progressives of the province have the courage to go be- for the people in the present election campaign on the clear-cu issue of a promise 70 change the law if elected. within year.
 Premier Ferguson, again heading the Conservative party, is more specific on this subject. He favors a continuance of the law and says If elected that, so far as he Is con- cerned. will mean an automatic con tinuance of the law without a future referendum. With right he says that political parties, even in the case of major issues, should be willing to ex- ercise their own responsibility, and if the people do not approve of their political platform they have the right to vote against the party at the polls.
 It is safe bet that Premier Ferguson will be reelected.

HAIL FOR A NEW BRIDGE

The outlook is that the antiquated and unsightly bridge over the New Haven tracks on West Main street is soon to give way to a modern struc- ture. The city and the railroad have cooperated most acceptably in Ar- ranging for this improvement, all that remains being an agreement over the respective share of the costs. This should not be difficult. According 10 the sign at the pres ent structure, it is safe for only eight tons in weight. The bridge over the same railroad at Corbin avenue has a sign that the point of safety is 12 tons. The new bridge when built should be stronger by far than the latter. In these days of heavily laden trucks the bridge should be safe for two of them passing on it.
 From the standpoint Of width the present structure has been made quate for a long time. The sidewalk on the south side is only a few feet wide. The new bridge will not only be wide enough for automobiles and pedestrians, but will be C sufficient strength for modern traffic and bc a thing Of beauty along this main. travelled highway through the city

book and glossed paper.

The western dairymen want high duty so that casein from Argentina will not compete with their own product. The eastern paper manu- lecturers greatly prefer low duty so that they can import the Argen- tinian product, which is far superior to the native product be- cause it is sun-dried. In fact, many of the manufacturers, forced to manufacture the finest paper, in- sist on using no domestic casein at all, considering it next to worthless for their purpose.
 The plan to double the duty on imported casein, sponsored by the farm bloc. has as it's object the fore ing of eastern manufacturers to use the artificial casein made in Wiscon- sin and other dairying states. Of course, if the principle of high pro- tective duty to serve as bulwark to native industry is correct then the farmers are justified in their att- tude, as the casein industry in this country needs this aid. But if the principle is not to be regarded as always applying. then the paper in dustry and the consumers of paper are abundantly justified in resent ing this forced air method in favor of an infant industry which manu- factures an inferior product.
 Paper manufacturers in New Eng land announce that If Congress doubles the duty on casein they will do one of two things: Continue to import cascin from Argentina, or use substitutes, as they did during the war. None seems disposed to admit they will use the inferior Wiscon- sin casein in the manufacture of paper.
 The controversy is one Illustrating once again what actuates most Of the tariff-making one reads about.

AIDING THE AIR MAIL

That new species of economy which has seeped into the craniums of certain Washington officials bodes no good for the air mail, which has been securing a substantial subsidy from the government through the contract system, and the cost Of which has caused sundry thoughtful persons to ask whether the returns are adequate.
 There appears to be no diversity of opinion regarding the main air mail lines, but questions arise whether the government is justified in subsidiz- ing so many of the minor lines. Even so, only the main line between New York and the West is q paying proposition. The government estab lished, Or stimulated the establish ment, of other lines in the hope that they would begin to pay within a reasonable time. The prospect does not seem to be exceptionally favor able, as instead of increased pound- age, there has been a falling off.
 When the rates were reduced to five cents vast increase in pound- age was anticipated and many ob- servers thought the increased use of the air mail would make our winged messengers self-sustaining. Now thoughtful officials in Washington are said to believe that an increase in the air mail rates is justified, the low rates not having attained the end hoped for. The idea seems to be to hoist the rates to the point where i the income will be large even though the poundage is very small 1 It sems to us that this would be the wrong way to go about the
 problem. Granted that there arc more routes than there need to be

 minor routes would be a sensible
