the mill is shut down. Adjourn
ment is taken.
There are indications, it is said,
that the country does not quite
understand the delay. Many are
beginning to blame 1t on the
World Court resolution, which, in
reality, is not to blame.
The complete confidence voiced
by the Senate friends of the court
that we'll over the necessary two
thirds majority would line up for
adherence, whenever the show
down is called for, is not now
shared by all observers. The list
of doubtful Senators seems to be
growing.
Unless a vote is taken soon,
~ it may not come for weeks.
Some of the courts friends feel
that such a delay. at this time,
might become altogether indefin-
ite. if not disastrous.

Salmon o. Levinson. Chicago
attorney, widely known as the
father of the Kellogg Pact out
having war, and internationally
known authority on the World
Court, was also in conference here
today with friends of the tribunal.
One of the best qualified men
in the country to pass judgment,
he completely discounted to the
writer the fears of Senator Hiram
johnson and other court foes that
either membership or advisory
opinions would embroil the United
States in the political quarrels of
Europe.
MIR. LEVINSON went to Europe
WI in 1929 to clarity these and
related issues. His mission was
unofficial, but was undertaken at
the desire of Secretary StimSon
and with President Hoover'S ap-
prevail. He went over to get two
changes made in the court
statutes:
FirstA that the statute of the
court be amended so that the
league could not call upon the
court for an advisory opinion in
any dispute between nations with
OF. their free consent, and,
Second, that the power to en-
force decisions by war, which in
the Senate debate in 1926 was
claimed for the League by friends
of the court, should be disavowed.

said, were achieved, and more. All

Who'd waste good stamps in send

This superstitious pap.
The auguries the stuff contained
Were nebulous, inane;
With dire threats against you if
You dared TO break the chain.
But now a guy who's not so dumb,
Has figured out a plan,
Whereby instead of health or fame
There's wealth for every man.
You add your name onto list,
You mail a dime, then grin
For soon you'll merely hang around
And watch the dough roll in.
But that's not all! Just mark my

Such flocks and herds of stamps,
The clerks will crawl to bed each

With postal saving(s) cramps!
