Every American Should Read
League Court Study
Blu James T. Williams, T.

This mandate was delivered
in the national election of 1920.
At that time, as Mr.. Clark so
truly says:
"The American people unmis-
takabIy :. >clared that the United
States should not become a
member of the League of Ma
tions. 1 know of nothing that
has happened since that election
to indicate that the people have
changed their minds, or to show
that, having so refused to enter
the League of Nations by the
front door, they are now ready
to enter it by q side or back
door. These facts are basic to
any consideration of our entry
into the World Court; they must
never be overlooked, ignored or
forgotten"
Covenant Gives Power
Another main objection to
American involvement in the
League Court cited by Mr.. Clark
has hitherto received little if
any attention in the Senate.
This objection raises the ques-
ton of the courts Jurisdiction.
Contrary to widespread belief.
Mr.. Clark finds:
"The court does not draw its
jurisdiction exclusively from the
statute which is the document
to which the United States
would Ostensibly be. acceding."
He shows that it also draws
its Jurisdiction from the League
Covenant to which the people
of the United States have de-
clined to have us become a
party"
This means that by joining
the League Court, the United
States might be dragged into
subsection to those articles of
the League Covenant which con-
tain the League sanctions and
are "the most iniquitous part"
of what the late Senator Knox,
of Pennsylvania, described, in
his great speech against the
League, as "the evil thing with
a holy name"
Every American who is op-
posed to the United States into
the League of Nations, either by
the front door of the League
Covenant or the back door of
the League Court, should arm
himself for the fight by writing
at once to his Senators or Rep
resentatives in Congress for a
copy of Ambassador Clark'S
epochal brief on the proposal
to take the United States into
the League of Nations by the
back door.
This brief will soon be avail
able as a public document, but
the supply will probably fall Tar
short of meeting the demand.

District Loan Bill
House Overcomes Apathy

The massage bv the House by vote of 1913 to 1873 of the
bill authorizing loans from the Public Works Administration
to the District construction of necessary local
provemens demonstrates that the House, when
its apathy toward the National Capital cast off the dom
nation which two enemies OF the District seem to
exercise local legislation
The BILL passed the House. far from perfect It
shows most Of its details the work Of those who will go
almost any lengths to prevent the Districts being
sidered part Of the United States.
NEVERTHELESS, EVEN IN ITS IMPERFECT FORM,
TT Is A DISTINCT ACHIEVEMENT WHICH WILL BE
OF MATERIAL ASSISTANCE IN PROMOTING THE VEL
FARE OF OUR CITIZENS.
The bill authorizes loans totang somewhat than ten
million dollars for the prosecution of projects long recognized
as vital to the proper development of the city.
The largest part of the contemplated loan, obtained
from the Public Works Administration will go the erection
of sewage disposal plant with the object of eliminating
the pollution of the Potomac River
The carrying out of this project will only abate
nuisance and eliminate of the health of the
munit but it will give the city and its many visitors
from all parts of the country the benefit of great natural
resource
HERETOFORE WAsH1NGToN1ANs HAVE BEEN RE-
LUCTANT TO TRY TO UTILIZE THE RIVER FOR PLEAS
URE OR PROFIT SIMPLY BECAUSE OF ITS DISGUSTING
POLLUTION ONCE THAT IS ELIMINATED THE RIVER
UNDOUBTEDLY WILL BECOME ONE OF THE FAVORITE
PLAY SPOTS OF THE CITY.
Another portion of the contemplated would 90 toward
the construction of sanatorium for adult tuberculosis
patients.
The need for this institution has long urged by Dr.
j. Winthrop Peabody Who superintendent the present
hospital has recognized its utter inadequacy
The hospital if properly built and skimped as
has been the Chrens Sanatorum should contribute greatly
to reducing the citys abnormal tuberculosis
unfortunate that the school items included in the
Senate loan bill dropped by the House. Our school
system is far from being what it should the city
would have been greatly benefited had the original Senate
figures been retained.

GRADUATED UPON HAVING PROPERLY DISCOUNTED

What is this man Crile-an
alarmiSt?
In the first place, how can
a person give proper atten-
ton to health" and still re-
main in "active life in bust
ness?" 1t is hard enough just
to remain in active business,
without monkeying around
with your health. Let we'll
enough alone" would be my
advice to anyone with an active
business.
Furthermore, what is so
tantalizing about the idea of
staying in active business life
until the age of 80? 1 know
that there are supposed to be
veterans who simply have to
patter down to the office or
the foundry every day, just
out of sheer love of the thing,
but they must also have some
other reason for their devotion
to work. There must be some
one at home who gets on their
nerves.
Anyone who has given what
DR.. Grille calls proper atten-
ton to health should, by the
age of so, be so sick of his
work that he can't even glance
through the trade papers with
out gagging. Any further exer-
ton on his part is either be-
cause of necessity or is just
sheer affection.

England and Japan Reach Parting of the Ways
Bv EdWin C.. Hill

Old John Bull, as he considers
his relations with Japan, must
feel pretty much like Franken-

about. England's brown boy has

saying furthermore, that ''it is
laughable to think, as the gov
eminent does, that the textile
question can be solved by ne
collation.. Japan will only pre-
tend to negotiate. We shall
have to defend ourselves"
Equally strange are the words
of FuSajiro Abe, Japan's textile
king, who answers the British
declaration of a trade war in
this fashion: British quotas on
Japanese imports mean that
Lancashire will be reduced to
utter dependence. By resorting
to this means of protecting it.

Thus, two old friends come
to the parting of the ways. It
is true that both speak well of
each other and in diplomatic
language express confidence
that the rupture will not ex-

But one does not have to look
into the crystal to see beyond
these phrases of mutual admira-
ton. He can go to Geneva, for
instance, and learn that the In.

making a study of japanese

Honor of the House
Involved in Bank Bill Farley

As conferences between the Senate House bill

persistent reports that the House cOnferees
contemplate yielding Senaes representatives who
understood be opposed to combining legislation dealing with
banks with legislation covering the deposit insurance
feature.
THERE MUST BE NO YIELDING BY THE HOUSE TO
THAT REASONING.
The closed provisions of the bill will not and cannot
interfere any way with the administration of the insurance
provisions The funds available for purchase of assets
closed banks kept separate and distinct from the insurance
funds so there could be confusion that score.
AS matter fact the features of the bill 60 along

THE INSURANCE FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO PRO
MOTE CONFIDENCE IN THE BANKS NOW OPEN. THE
RELIEF FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO RESTORE THE CON-
FIDENCE IN THE BANKING STRUCTURE OF THOSE WHO
LOST THEIR SAVINGS BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT
WAS FALSE TO ITS TRUST IN THE HANDLING OF
BANKS PRIOR TO THE CRASH.
is unthinkable that House conerees should yield
the closed bank provisions.
They have behind them the unanimous vote Of the House
They behind them the knowledge that probably majority
of the House would like go farther than the Steaga
