 You're not fooling Mother. Doris. I knbw it's sacrifice. You're dear girl to be so cheer full about things-the hard work --and doing without--and now - Rod. If your Grandfather had only taken me into his confidence about his business how much you might have been spared. But he was secretive, and of course in 1907 there was great panic. almost. as we have just known. And no one could have prophesied your fathers sudden death.'
 Mummy, there's no use worry ing about lost riches. Look, the rain has stopped a little. I'll just run out for those snowdrops. And then, Lady, what I'm going to do to your room. Dr Graham won't know the place."
 An hour later Doris was in the attic of the old house. She had climbed the narrow staircase with an armful of pictures thinking that as long as she was doing over her mothers room she might as well tal.e down and put away some or the ghastly countenances of dead

with the right of withdrawal guaranteed the United States can solely grant it's moral and finan- cial support" to the Permanent Court of International Justice of the World Court" as 1t is more commonly known writes Hamilton Vreeland, Jr, professor of law in the Catholic University of Amerl- la. in the American Bar Associa- ton Journal.
 It will be 'the support of a na- tion pledged to an independent judiciary, continues Professor Vree- land" to a tribunal which has already done much good and will undoubtedly do more, and which will probably make its greatest contribution toward world peace through the many cases 1t will not have to decide because 1t. is there for that very purpose.
 Approximately four hundred treaties to which the United States has been a party have contained clauses giving the right otermt- nate the agreements to one or the other of the parties thereto or to both. It Is usual and wise pre- caution.

 Finally she stopped sobbing. The house was still. Time seemed to have stopped. Up the staircase and through the open door came the measured tone of her moth' er's sweet voice. Mrs Hudson was repeating psalms and verses from the Bible, scraps of Longfellow's and Wordsworth's poems to help while away the tedium of her en- forced likeness. Doris listened = "I lift up mine eyes. unto the hills whence cometh my help---came the last resonant phrase.
 Poor mother" sighed the girl sadly, getting up, She wiped her eyes vigorously. She'd have to pull herself together-get to work. There were dark squares on moth- er's faded wallpaper where the old chromos had hung, she remem- bered. It would be nice to hang up something until she could afford a

These treaties are. the Protocol of Signature of the statute for the Permanent Court of International Justice, dat ed December 16, 1920; the Pro- tocol for the Revision of the Sta- tue of the Permanent Court of In- ternational Justice, dated Septem- Der IA, 1929; and the Protocol ot Accession of the United States to the Protocol of Signature of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice, dated Sep tember IA, 1929.
 It Is tthe court) established pur- suant to Article IA of the Covenant of the League of Nations. It Is connected with the Treaty of Yer sailles in Articles Al to 420 inclus- i've. and 423 of Part XIII. The Covenant Is connected with the Treaty of Versailles in proXi- mately seventy articles of that treaty. Concededly, the Court may be called upon to determine ques- tions arising therefrom. Infact, it may and unquestionably will con- sider questions arising from many treaties to which the United states is not a party. But because a part of the time of the Court may be consumed in the consideration and adjudication of questions arising from the Covenant of the League and the Treaty of Versailles, to which the United States is not a party, appears to be no adequate ground for condemnation, as long as it retains its independence and doesn't become an istrument of politics.
 "In view of the intimte rela- tionship of the Court and the League and the obvious reluctance of this country to enter the League at this time, and further, in view of the possibility that in the future the independence of the Court may be impaired through the influence of other political and legal philoso- phies," concludes Professor Vree- land, "the accession by the United States to the Court should be &C., com plished by an instrument whose language leaves absolutely no doubt that such adherence can bc terminated at will as matter of unquestioned and unquestionable right on the part of the United $s59,119.19.

 Suddenly Doris kicked off her bedroom slippers and reached for a pair of walking shoes. Weren't those snowdrops and crocuses she saw down there in the shadow of the great rock Spring had come! Glorious! She'd get a bowl full for mothers room! And why not fix ur mothers room! Why shouldn't mother use her lovely linens? Who deserved them more than wan patient mother? That length of yellow chintz she'd been saving for tLe dream house - it would brighten mothers room like April sunshine. The lacy dresser scarves, the dainty bedspread-all, all for mother!
 Doris filled her arms and sped with a semblance of happiness any way, to her mothers room.
 Lady, lady, how I'm going to fully from the threshold. Its the new therapeutics, you know. No more gloomy, old hospital white for us! We're going to have color in here, and when ah says color, lady, ah means color!"
 Laughing she threw her armful of gay cloth on the foot of her chair. A faint flush appeared on the pallid skin of the woman in the bed. Her eyes turned questioning ly-pitifully-whi her poor face and form lay rigid.

Japanese imperialist invasion of the

IN THE above wishful cartoon, pub
L lished on the front page of the
Chicago Tribune as the news points
to rapid war thrusts against the So
Wet Union by Japanese imperialism,
the most jingoist, red-baiting sheet
of American imperialism expresses
the real hope Of all of the American
capitalists. If only the workers
fatherland could be pushed into its
grave. If only japanese imperial
ism would strike! How happy all
of the capitalist hounds would be!
The Tribune, by the way, is at
the same time the most vicious and
outspoken representative of Ameri-
can imperialism in the conflict with
Japan. In other words, it most
clearly expresses the bitter contra
diction between the japanese trusts
and the American trusts for the
domination of the Far Eastern mar
kets. Yet, when the Japanese war
lords shine their swords for lunge
at the heart of the proletarian
fatherland, when the tramp of hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers rings
