With Whom Would We Associate in League Court?

If you were going into business with a
group of men you would want to know
what manner of men they were before the
business agreement was signed.
Certainly you wouldn't want to go into
business with man who was defaulter,
who had no regard for his sacred promise,
who felt that his signature on contract
meant nothing. You wouldn't want to
trust your affairs and your own business
integrity to an association with that type.
AS it is with men so is it with nations
The United States Senate is now de-
batting the matter of putting this country
into the League Court business of dis
pensing international justice and that is
highly important business, one that DE-
MANDS THE GREATEST PROBITY

people and puts us in business with this
League Court it would look into the record

AND OVERWHELMINGLY took then?

Some people will tell you that the Court
is not the League, that it is a separate and
independent institution. When they do
that they fly in the face of all the evidence.
The Court elves, breathes and has it's
being" in the League.
The charter of the Court is found in
article IA of the League covenant and it
will pay Americans to read it, Here if is.
"The Council (Of the League) shall formulate
ana su6n1It to the members of the Leaoue for
adoption plans for the establishment of a Per-
mGnent Court of International Justice. The
Court shall be competent to hear and determine
any dispute of an international character 1vI,ich
the parties thereto submit to it. The Court n,nu
also glUe an advisory opinion upon anu disDufe
or question referred to it by the Council or bu

Free at Last
By Robert BenchLev

"Sweet are the uses of adver-
Sity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and
UenomouS,
Wears get a precious jeWeI in
his head"
The above quotation, in ad-
dition to being a lot of hys-
terical nonsense, is not exactly
the one that I wanted for my
point, but it has a rather nice
swing, I think. What I was
leading up to with it, is the
fact that approaching old age
has one compensa ton, in that
it has relieved me of carrying
on the farce of cold morning
baths any longer.
For about thirty years I went
through the masochistic rite of
drawing a tub full of cold
water each morning, standing
in it up to my shins for seventy
five or eighty minutes before
getting up courage to crash
down into it's mysterious depths,
and then talking about it for
the rest of the day to my un-
happy circle of friends, a circle
which diminished perceptibly as
the years rolled on.
I claimed to enjoy it, but now
that the whole horrid routine
is a thing of the past, I can ad-
nit that I actually hated every
minute Of it.
What burns me up is that
everybody thought I was lying
about it, and no one took the
trouble to check up. I went on,
day by day, floundering around
in icy water and bruiSing my
self in my frantic attempts to
get out, and still was pretty gen
orally considered a fake. Even
people who heard me from the
next room accused me of just
SwiShing my hands back and
forth in the water to make a
The Washington times., 1935-01-25

noise; or of filling the tub half
1u!l OF warm water to begin with.
Then they began getting u1-
pleasant about it. IT hope you
don't think that that cold slosh
you take in the morning is, by
any chance, a substitute for a
real BATH" they said.
My answer to this was a crack
that I had once read in a
pamphlet: II don't bathe to get
clean," I said, sneering up my
sleeve, Il battle to keep clean"
This was way over their heads.
But in self-defense I found my
self obliged to boast just as
much about my hot baths as I
did about the cold ones. It got
so that talked about nothing
but the various baths I took,
which, in itself, is a bad sign,
was becoming a pariah, and I
knew it.
My cure was very simple. One
day l was talking to a doctor
about something or other that
was rubberizing my bones or
preventing my breathing or
some one of those little ailments
that flesh is heir to, and I said
TO him hopefully: Perhaps I
take too many cold baths"
If you could take any cold
baths at all at your age it is
too many" he said.
I could hardly belive my ears.
I kissed the doctor on both
cheeks and rushed from his
office-a free man. Since that
time, I have even brushed my
teeth in hot water. Sometimes
I even draw a tub of cold water
in the morning and then throw
some rose petals into it and let
it run out, jeering at it.
