RATJFYING THE TREATY

If the Senate had refused to ratify
the multilateral treaty after the ad-
ministration had sponsored 1t. the
good repute OF the country among
the nations Of the world would have
been greatly injured. In popular
parlance, we would have started
something We couldn't finish" 1t
would have been akin to the League
of Nations effort, which an Ameri-
can president instigated, but which
other nations are carrying on with
its parent nation not in 1t.
The Interpretation" in the report
upholds the right OF seIf-defense and
unimpairs the right to maintain the
Monroe Doctrine--two points which
were not threatened in the first
place, according to proponents Of the
treaty. The interpretations. not be-
ing in the nature Of reservations,
seem irrelevant considering that
every nation usually interprets
treaty according to its wording. like
any other contract.
/ The treaty unquestionably had
tremendous popular backing by the
people who considered it a progress
sve step. Whether the hopes of the
people are to be justified in view Of
the prevailing method Of explaining
every war on basis Of self-defense
| is something for the future to dis
close For long time past no nation
has ever admitted engaging in war
for any other reason than self-de-
Tense.
Senator Bingham, who circulated
the round robin signed by IS sena-
tors. is credited with q victory in
having the Interpretation included.
But an analysis shows this victory Is
not as great as it seems. The fact
seems to be that in order to secure
passage Senator Borah filed the in
terpretations report with the Senate
after gentleman's agreement had
been made that none would move to
have it formally adopted or ordered
sent to the other signatories Of the
treaty. The round robin senators
consider it a victory merely because
the interpretations may one day
serve as guide If dispute over
the meaning of the treaty arises. At
best the Bingham interpretations
form paper victory.

in an economic blockade. Neither
can be achieved without a navy.

DO AWAY WITH THIS
PETTY FEE SYSTEM

OF all the relics of medieval juris-
prudence-if the term may be APP
piled, which is doubtful-which
should be eliminated at the earliest
possible moment that Of the fee
system stands uppermost. This re-
ters, OF course. to the practice in
Justice "courta' in Connecticut.
The bar associations of lawyers
and judges of Connecticut who are
aboring TO kill off the picayune fec
system in the state and substitute
circuit courts presided over by
Judges who know at least the ele-
mepts of law should succeed. Now
that the Legislature Is to have Its
biennial spin 1t is to be hoped that
the lawyers in 1t. and those who
side with justice as it ought to be.
will adopt the more modern method.
The movement in some OF the
towns for improved courts also de-
serves to succeed.
The fee system in the small town.
is a chastity joke. Even IL innocent
man may find it more convenient TO
nav costs" to free himself of the
grip of the law"
Usually a corps Of gentlemen who
do not know the law and don't need
such knowledge split the fees that
the unfortunate are forced to hand
over in order to obtain that scant
minimum of justice leading to lib
crty and a renewed pursuit Of
happiness.
The way the fee system works is
simple. In the small towns there is
u constable, grand juror prosecu-
tor. and a Justice of the peace. All
three are picked at the town meet
ings and elected by the people.
They usually are small town poll
ticians who stand In we'll with the
leople and do not necessarily need

ing the fundamentals of Blackstone,
indeed, is the least qualification
they need to possess. The main
qualification is knowing how to play
the brand Of petty politics that re-
suits in being named for the jobs
that are craved. No salaries are
paid, and it Is widely understood
that there would be no craving to
be such "officers Of the law" II
there were not something in 1t 9TH

ing = traffic jam stepped on the &C.
celerator instead Of the brake. with
the result that he rammed into the
car ahead. doing = little damage but
injuring no one. He got out, apollo
Kized, and agreed with the other
car owner that the best thing TO do
would be to take the damaged car
to the nearest garage and there pay
the repair bill. Both drivers were
fully satisfied to proceed along this
reasonable line.
Meanwhile it took about 20 min
utes to prepare to tow the damaged
car to the garage. and in that time
the local constable became aware
that two cars had kissed along the
highway. He came running up. quite
out of breath, showed his star. and
announced In stentorian tones that
the man who had stepped on the
accelerator was guilty of reckless
driving and was under arrest. Vain.
ly did both drivers protest that
they were satisfied to settle the
matter then and there and out OF
court: the constable claimed that
wouldn't be allowed. but that 1t was
clearly a case for the court"
1t being impossible to argue the
constable out Of his prospect for q
fee, the two drivers were forced to
agree to 60 to the court. There
the driver whose car was damaged
repeated his earlier announcement
that he would Hst testify against
the other. being satisfied if the
damages to his car were paid for,
as originally agreed upon.
As usual, the court fee-splittera
got busy on the man they held un-
der dire charges of reckless driving.
The latter was told the usual rig
marole about the difficulties and
expense of bucking the system. but
that II he would agree to \ nolle
upon payment OF costs he would be
freed of further bother: II he were
cbdurate, he might discover that ul-
timately his license to drive would
he forfeited.
And as usual. the driver sue
cumbed to the Establishments and
agreed to a nolle. paying the costs
Of $1o66. Multiply such cases by
hundreds throughout the state and
one gets an idea Of the species Of
jcrkwatcr justice that is dispensed
under the fee-splitting system.
The system offered by lawyers
and Judges as substitute for THU
archaic method would be to form
|
circuit courts. with real judges sit.
ting at regular intervals in all the
towns. They would not split fees
but would adjudicate cases a. they
are adjudicated in the cities, witt
no costs to the innocent. There be
ing no fees to split, constables would
not be inclined to butt in and ar
rest drivers who have alrcad!
agreed amicably among themselve
and where no great damage an
no injuries resulted.
Or there is the alternative Of tow
courts that can be patterned afte
the courts in the cities.
There is a humorous allusion Il
the effect that "There is no justic'
in this world" That saying mus
