TREND OF WORLD AFFAIRS
BY Lucy Meacham Thruston


Political questions of the greatest
Importance are often closeted as Sc
curely as one puts a treasure away
for safe keeping. If the treausure
be vase, piece of silver, of glass
or pewter, it must be carefully dust
ed before it is brought out into the
open again. Political questions
which have been closeted in Con-
gressional committee rooms and
which public opinion demands 20
have brought out into the open and
again considered are like those
treasures of china or silver. They
must be cleared of the dust of par

Court is one of these long closeted
questions. Also it has been fire.
quently brought out and presented.
Still it's last retirement was un-
usually long. And again it is being
considered
The idea of world court is an old
one. Pierre Dubois suggested it in
1906. Another Frenchman, Emeric
Cruco, published book in 1923
which gave it direction and defini-
ton. But not until the 10th CEN
fury did it become a matter of prac-
teal consideration by statesmen and
students of international relations.
The first Peace Conference at the
Hague in 1899 was the first positive
STEP A second Peace Conference at
the Hague was held in 1907. The
American delegation to this felt en-
couraged sufficiently to bring back
the report that "The foundations of
a Permanent Court have been broad
ly and firmly laid. "a little time, a
little patience, and the great work is
accomplished"
But is was not accomplished by
1914. The world came to this year
of tragedy with no general machin-
cry for handling International dis
puts except the Permanent Court of
Arbitration. And no urther steps
were made until the Peace Confer
ence drew up and presented to the
League of Nations plans for the
establishment of a Permanent Court
of International Justice" In 1920
the Council of the League invited a
group of distinguished jurists to
frame plan for the new court
Elihu Root was among those invited.
The plans they drew up were adopted
in December 1920. Since then the
question has been presented to the
United States in 1928, 1925, '26, '29,
'30-and then closeted. Three
Presidents have asked the Senate's
"advice and consent to the adhesion
of the United States" Harding,
Coolidge, Hoover; and now the
fourth President is making the same
request. In 1926 the Senate "adopt-
ed resolution ADVISING ana consent
ing to the Protocol by the United
States with five reservations. Ac-
ceptance CT these was obtained by
1929-Then closeting.
All the United States has asked
has been granted. Public opinion is
firmly behind the measure. The
Senate opposition is again trying to
tangle up the matter by another
reservation knowing that such would
ned to be sent to Geneva and then
receive signature by all other sigma
tories. But hasnt this most import
ant matter been closeted and re-
closeted enough?

THE DEATH OF HUEY LONG

The assassination of Senator Huey r.
Long is a deplorable event in the history
of the state of Louisiana and of the nation
1t is deplorable from any angle from Whlcn
it may be considered.
1t is deplorable when man holding one
of the highest offices in the land is shot
down by political foe; but it is equally as
deplorable when one considers that Long
was able to command power over people
to such an extent that an apparently good
citizen would exchange his own life for
that of his hated foe.
The end of Long was the usual end CT
dictators. 1t was almost inevitable from
the beginning of his dictatorship that soon-
er or later he would be stricken down by
violence. The situation that led to his death
was in a large measure the work of his own
hand. When one man builds his power to
the point where his word is the law and
when through political manipulation he
places himself above the reach of the peo-
pie through legally constituted channels
he may then expect an end such as over
took Long. The Bible tells us that those
who live by the sword shall die by the
sword. Long brought strong arm methods
to Louisiana. 1t was inevitable that ne
should pass from power by strong arm
methods.
We do not condone the action of his as
sailant. Violence is un-American and un-
wanted in this country. We deplore the
death of Senator Long. We deplore the
arising OF a. situation which brings on such
an end for a man.

THEY SLUMBER AND SLEEP

Sd North Carolina opponents of the liquor
traffic appear to be rather soundly sleep
ing at the present time. At least this seems
20 be the condition of large majority of
the dryS in the western section of the State.
AS a result of this attitude, and pressure
from the vets, it is probable that condi-
tions with reference to the illicit liquor
traffic are steadily growing worse and that
sentiment for the re-introduetion of the
legalized liquor business throughout the
State is steadily being manufactured.
The ultimate result of this state of al
fairs, if it is not changed, will be North
Carolina victory for the liquor makers and
dealers of the nation, whose primary inter-
est is IN opening up the whole State to their
business. The slumbering drys will prob
ably arouse to hazy realization of what
has been happening when it is too late to
wreck the plans of the wets-unless they
awake and begin to show some interest in
what is going on and in fighting for their
cause.

liquor business has been driven in the cas-
tern wet counties. This wedge may be en-
tracted by the Supreme court-which NAV

SHALL DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES
BE THROWN AWAY? IT,. p.

The ltra-conservative Charlotte Observ-
err offers this lady-like criticism of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his administration
1t would be we'll for Mr. Roosevelt, for the
purpose of carrying out his own convictions as
to the tmeliness of respite for the people from
continually harassng and drastic legislation, to
associate himself from such influences as are
trying to drag him on and on toward a more
concrete scheme of Europeanism in Democratic
America.
And, at the same time or by the same token,
it would be we'll for the Democracy of the ma
ton if the leadership of the Presidents party
should be much less under the begung leader
ship of such professors and social dreamers as
would not stop until they have virtually estab-
lished some form of Fascism or Despotism in
America.
The destiny of the Democracy of America
rests with the faithful allegiance of the Pres-
dents party to the tenets of the old faith
1t may be wise, it may be necessary, of course,
to dress up these old-fashioned Democratic doc
trines in more modern apparel but it would be
fatal to proceed under the conviction that the
time has come to throw the principles of Democ-
racy out of the window
The criticism is timely and true; and il
is to be hoped the smoothly flowing words
do not conceal the pertinent meaning from
the average newspaper reader. However

preparation for any move which may be
made by the vets.
In the meantime, citizens of this section
of North Carolina who want closeup OF
Ioperations of the legalized liquor business
can oct the same in South Carolina. The
GREAT volume of hard-liquor advertising
now being circulated in some of the news
naners Of that State is but one indication
of the highly organized and highly financed
campaign of the brewers and distillers to
bring the alcoholic beverage business TO
the volume of prohibition days anil
drive it beyond that limit.
One thing that is noticeable about the
liquor advertising in South Carolina is that
by far the larger part of it is scheduled on
those days on which the newspapers carry
their largest volume of grocery store and
food advertising. No doubt this is done for
the purpose of assOciating all kinds of al
coholic beverages in the minds of men,
women and children with the food and
harmless beverages advertised in these
same newspapers. At any rate, the liquor
dealers are making determined effort t.
get many thousands Of the food dollars of
the people of South Carolina in exchange
for alcoholic poison. They are making an
impressive effort to become the chief COM
petitors of the grocery and food stores.
Many thousands of dollars of the money OF
South Carolinians, which ought to be spent
on Saturdays for food and other necessi-
ties, now goes for liquor. Thousands OF
South Carolina women and children now
have less food, clothing, home comforts
and all of life's necessities, than they
would have if the liquor business had not
been legalized in that State.

THE FUNNIEST ANIMAL

The human being is a funny
animal. Considering his opportun-
tiles and his equipment to gain
knowledge, wisdom and under
standing, he probably has, by
comparison, less sense than almost
any other creature.
He has at his command the COM
bined instruction Of man and God
gathered and compiled through
out the ages-free for the asking.
But he is slow to ask for it, and
slower to use it.
Man in his social relationships,
in his care Of himself and Of his
fellows, does not PUT on as good
a performance as the bees, the
ants and the termites.
These little insects have a high
ly developed social cooperative
order. But they have no souls;
they have worked out their fine
social systems without souls. If
those little creatures had souls
like men, and could contact the
divine Creator and Protector, as
can men, their achievements in
social welfare and community
progress would no doubt be still
more marvellous.
Another funny thing about peo-
pie as a whole: They will not
work a fraction so industriously
and intelligently for their welfare
and protection, as their enemies
will to assail and despoil them.
For instance, a mere handful of
political crooks in a city of five
hundred thousand people, will con-
sistently exploit those half million
persons year in and year out. No
colony of bees, ants or termites
would tolerate such a situation.
