This reservation was addressed to the
jurisdiction of the court by its terms
and so intended. It would prohibit the
court from entertaining any request
for an advisory opinion upon any
matter in which the United States was
interested or claimed an interest. 1t
gave a veto power on the part of the
United States to any request to the
court for an advisory opinion on any
matter in which the United States
was interested. If the United States
appeared before the court and claimed
an interest and would not consent to
an advisory opinion, the jurisdiction
of the court to render an advisory
opinion ceased. It was believed that
this reservation was necessary In order
to place the United States on an equal
ity before the court with other nations
that were members of the League.
Equal Rating Desired.
1t was believed that in asking for an
advisory opinion the Council or Assem-
bly, could only act by a unanimous
vote. Hence the veto of the United
States for an advisory opinion was only
equal to that possessed by the nations
that are members of the League. But
there are those who insist that the
League in asking for an advisory
opinion is only exercising methods of
procedure which, under the terms OF
the League, requires only majority
vote. The court has not passed upon
the question whether the request must
be by majority or unanimous vote
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-04

an advisory opinion comes to the court
the registrar OF the court shall notify
the United States thereof, fixing q rea-
Sonable time limit in which a written
statement from the United States con-
corning the request will be received.
Postponement Provided.
Fourth-If for any reason no sum-
Gent opportunity for an exchange Of
views upon such request should have
been afforded and the United States
advises the court that the question
upon which the opinion of the court
is asked is one that affects the inter-
ests of the United States, proceedings
shall be stayed for a period sufficient to
enable such exchange of views between
the Council or Assembly and the United
States to take place.
Fifth-It provides II after this ex-
change Of views no agreement is reached
and the United States is not prepared
to forego its objections, then the United
States may withdraw without any i'm
ness to cooperate generally for peace
and good will.
Thus under the Root formula the
court can render no advisory opinion
without the consent of the United
States and require the United States
to continue a member of the court
Under the Root formula the United
States is given the option of making
reservation five of the Senate reso-
luton operative or else promptly
withdrawing its adherence to the court.
The United States will have the full
protection of reservation five so long as
1t is a member Of the court and when
this ceases the United States can i'm
mediately withdraw. Thus no detri-

CURE OF WORLDS ILLS BY CULTS
 James R. Little

There does not seem to be pos sible an interpretation which can be tortured out of the Bible that has not been tried. Each has it's followers, and so there has sprung up an amazing number of cults. No so many though, but that if anyone can find a new interpretation tomor. row and flake claim" revela- tion for it, he, or she, can start a new cult and get followers for it as quickly as chickens will run to the mother hen when she clucks for them over a newly discovered worm.
 Today, Sunday, Occidental at E and Washington Street, Seat tie, Wash, has every new and ancient creed for the cure of the worlds ills. It is set forth by some itinerant prophets Men with long hair, glittering eyes, and fierce looking faces. These Heaven or Hell gentlemen draw the crowds, like the saloons in the old days drew "bums" and "bar flies" No where in the world have heard so many con- tradictory orators eXtolling as the best word in wisdom, the creeds of Heaven, Hell, Socialism I. w. W.'sm, Unionism, anarchy, and Communism. All the vari- cites of religion, known and un- known. Each cult has a self elected prophet to extol their various gospels. Our street pro- phet's English is not so pure; they hold a sublime disregard
 for the grammar of our tongue
 and their accent points to a
 non-American origin, Their
 lack of elementary education is
 covered by their eloquence
 Without exception, all of these
 orators attack the present form
 of American government, ano , promise an earthly paradise and

COOLIDGE ADMINISTRATION
 AS BAD AS HARDINGS

The oil scandals of theHarding administration was the high wa ter mark of graft and political intrigue of the Harding admin iStration, preSaged by the liquor permit scandals which reached right into the presidential cab inet. The following reprinted from LABOR, Washington, D. O., lifts the lid of the Shipping Board scandals that is not one whit less reprehensible than the conspiracies of Secretary Fall, Harry Sinclair, Doheny, Secre- lary Dougherty and others: Uncle Sam Rocked By Purchasers
 of Merchant Marine
 J. J. McCarl, Comptroller Gen eral of the United States, has just made a report on the fnan- Cial affairs of the Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corpora ton which shows an almost un- hard of mismanagement.
 Three hundred and twenty lone ships which cost the govern ment $4O8,OOO,OOO to build, have been sold by the Fleet Corpora tion to private purchasers for not quite $44,OOO,OOO. Of this, only s15,414,OOO has been paid in cash.
 Out of the books as due theho
 Out of $55, ,326,OO0 on the Fleet Corporations books as due the govern t, $31 ,562,OO0 are marked as doubtful or uncol- lectable. Tn other words, 60 per cent of the notes which the corporation has taken in lieu ot cash must be written off as bad debts.
 Cheating the Government These are merely some of the high spots in the report. MT McCarl says he made no effort te make a complete audit; but wha1 he has found more than justif1es every charge made against botI the management and the sale O. the government merchant ma rine.

All high salaried officials were kept, while messenger boys, postoffice clerks, railway conductors, telephone operators, museum attendants, court stenographers-in short that class of public servants who directly serve the public-Were decimated. Hence the telegram delivery scandals and the long queues which must form before the registered letter wickets of the postoffice. Since curators and clerks of art museums would not light fires and there was no one else to do it, pictures were damaged by frost, And yet the Ministeries are still crowd ed with expensive f1gureheads, folding limpet-like to their sine cures, and their number even grows.

Chop suey'' and soufdough cookies in heaven for the poor working man. When these Unit ed States have private ownership of capital abolished and labor controls the materials as we'll as the methods of production. These bitter attacks on consti- tuted government and the social system of the world need not de- tain us here. One has only to turn to Russia to see the com munistic gospel in action. In any cOmmuniStic scheme, one ceases to be an individual in his own right and is turned into a me chanical cog in a gigantic indus trial machine. Mechanical am- eliOration of the masses is on a par with the American passion for uplifting humanity by pro- cess of law.
 The fatal flaw in all this kind of agitation and propaganda is the reliance that is put on some thing external to do what only the individual can do for him self. It is the naive mistake of 1hese social prophets to insist that something external to man can supply "the divine spark" which transforms a clod of clay Into a harmonious and happy human being.
 All forms of government are necessarily imperfect, not one of them has come down from heaven. All have the virtues and defects of their origin Tn a human world, which is necessar- fly imperfect, all things ana all individuals partake of this inn perfection. No conceivable form of government, however com munistic, can escape this inn perfection. All that can be ask ed of any government is an equal chance for life and liberty com mensurate with ones capacity. This opportunity the United States provides to an extent un- known before in any age of the worlds history.

 Dictators like General zivko witch and reformers like Premier Maniu make brave attempts to rid the Ship of State of bureau cratic barnacles. But for every canceled public office two others appear
 Dictators may come and go, but the dictatorship of bureau cracy is perpetual. Even Gov ernment changes mean nothing where whole Ministeries have become properly political part ies. In the Austrian Ministry of Justice the employees are Pan Germans; in the Ministry of Public Instruction all are Chris tian Socialists. Tn Rumania the whole bureaucracy is Liberal and is now preparing to oppose it's passive resistance to Premier Maniu's scheme of decentrali- zation and reform.
 That is Middle European bu- reaucracy. Tell an inhabitant of this part of the world that there are countries where the State belongs to and defends it's citi- zens instead of owning and op- pressing them, ana where SCaCe employees are employees of ev- erybody, and he will smile indul- gently as one who hearkens to a fairy tale. Assure him that a citizen of such a country, believ- ing himself to be OvertaXed, might call a tax collector rob Der and risk nothing worse than a reply in kind, and he will go on his way offended that you should so tax his incredulity. He knows better, for he is an in habitant of a country whose ci- tizens, when he observed an an- noyed acquaintance struggling with a Government cigarette machine which refused to pro- duce cigarettes or restore his money, counseled: "Whatever you do, don't curse it, or you will commit 'Amtsehrenbeleidi- gung.'"
