NEW YORK, May % Q.N.S0.
The only known clue in the
Weyerhaeuser kidnap case-the
most shocking crime since the
Lindbergh baby abduction-is the
ransom letter sent by the Grim
inals to the parents Of George
WeyerhaeuSer.
This letter plainly indicates q
number of things to me.
First, and most tragic, there
are indications in the note that
the kidnapers plan to murder the
child unless everything goes
through like clockwork.
These kidnapers mean to kill
the child unless they consider it
100 per cent safe for themselves
to keep him alive.
If the boy himself made too
much trouble for them, or if he
got good look at these grimly
determined "egotists" and they
think he can identify them, the
poor youngSter already may have
met the fate of Charles A. Lind.
bergh, jr.
Play for Time
The warning that the money
will be gone over before he is
released looks too pat. It may be
a foresighted gag 20 gain time
after the ransom payment.
Here are other things that
quickly become apparent after
examination of the grim letter:
1. The writer is sane. when
/ say writer, 1 mean the chief
author of the letter, am sure
several had a hand in writ
ing it,.
2. There is professional
gangster in the case.
3. The writer" is educated,
but not cultured.
4. The writer" has had con-
siderable experience in business,
is possibly a business man.
say the writer is sane because
a check shows no signs of abnor'
mality. There are no signs of any
well-marked psychosis such as
repetitions of the same word or
phrase, or vagueness of meaning
behind high-sounding phrases.

Utilities Make Best Gains.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE bond
market pursued a fairly even trend
today, with best gains recorded by
utility issues. United States Govern
ments we're trifle irregular.
Ignoring the highly unsettled condi-
ton of foreign exchange markets, in
vestment quarters paid close attention
to developments having direct bear
ing on securities, especially the state
ment of j. F. Fogarty, president of
the North American Co., one of the
largest public utility organizations in
the country, that he believed pending
Federal legislation dealing with utili-
ties would be defeated.
Quiet accumulation Of some of the
better situated utility bonds has been
noted from time to time in the past
month, and a considerable amount of
switching from secondary railroad OBJ
legations into this type of security
was evident early this week when the
carrier situation became more acute.
Advances ranging from p to more
than point were made by Utilities
Power & Light SIPS at 1872, Utah
Light & Traction SIS at 84l2, Columbia
Gas & Electric SIS at 75l4 and North
American Edison debenture IS at 1875.
Among others selling higher were OBJ
legations of Detroit Edison, Laclede
Gas. Metropolitan Edison and Port
land General Electric.
The Associated Press average of 10
utilities advanced 3 of a point to
1877. The averages for 20 rails, 10
industrials and 10 low-yield bonds
were 2 Of point lower to 2 of
point higher.
In other sections of the corporate
list price changes were generally mar
row. Bonds of the Paramount Fa-
mous-Players were an exception and
recorded gains of l to 2 points on
heavy turnover. A few of the rails
were in demand at slightly higher
prices, including Chesapeake g. Ohio
Is and ST. is-Southwestern As.
In the Government section Liberty
3l2s were 5-32 higher at 1929 and
Treasury IS Of 1914 were 1892 lower
at 1852. Home Owners Loan issues,

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 2.-Predictions
OF timely moisture next week in the
form of rain or snow helpful to do
nestle crops led to late set-backs of
grain prices today.
Suggestions of gold crisis abroad,
with asserted strong accompanying
possibilities of imitation, acted earlier
as bullish influence on grains, not
withstanding violent tumble of the
British pound sterling. On the other
hand, as result of prevailing none
tary uncertainties, the volume of grain
dealings dwindled afterward and this
had an evident tendency to make
prices relapse.
Wheat closed nervous around the
days bottom level, ia. under yes
terday's finish; May. 97a4 a977s. Corn,
e of to Is up; May, 84a84s. Oats,
at "a decline to Il advance, and pro-
visions varying from cents loss to a
rise of IL cents.
With gold skyrocketing to a new all
time high price record today and sill
yer at a six-year peak, all else but
financial factors were secondary dur
ing most of the time in the grain pits.
Traders were inclined to go slow on
either side of the wheat market, in
particular, until the confusion of for
eign exchange movements had been
measureably cleared up. Meanwhile,
however, more or less selling pressure
developed in the corn trade and had
some bearish influence on wheat.
A noticeable increase of rural mar
keting Of corn was reported. Trade
leaders said corn values were feeling
the effect of United States imports of
all kinds of feed grains In some
quarters, it was emphasized, that other
things being equal, Argentina could
now offer rye and oats more than half
a cent bushel cheaper because of the
sharp drop of sterling the past two
days
Heavier receipts of corn in Chicago
today than either a week or a year
ago forced the cash corn basis 12a11a
cents a bushel lower. Oats mainly
followed corn.
For the most part, provisions ruled
higher, aided by bigger decrease of
Chicago stocks of lard than was ex-
pected.

quiet and steady today within a mar

were followed by partial recoveries on

closing at 12.45. The market closed

First prices were barely steady at

were soon absorbed and prices re-
covered to yesterdays closing quota

close was at about the best.
The amount of cotton on shipboard

Senator Borah's World Court plan
Is Incorporated In Senate resolution
al, sixty-seventh session. The reso-
luton was introduced February IA,
1923. 1t embraces II clauses In the
preamhles. all Of which are directed
toward the conclusion that o perma-
nent Court of International Justice
should be created as o complete sub
stitute for war, the Court to be en-
powered to take jurisdiction Of every
dispute between nations arising u1-
der q code Of international law. and
Of every question arising under q
treaty. the jurisdiction to be eompul-
sorry.
No limitation Is contained in the
Borah resolution as to the nationality
of the judges or the effect Of their
decisions. The Borah Court would
have the power over disputes among
nations that the United States Su.
preme Court exercises over contro-
versies among the States.
II entanglements and complications
are to be feared concerning the power
of a Court which can only consider
such cases as the parties consent,
what would be the result Of the estab-
lishment of a supreme court Of the
world, such as Senator Borah advo-
Gates, whose processes would reach TO
the ends Of the earth and whose deci-
sions would morally compel compli-
ance of every sovereignty on the
globe?
Many Favor Limitations.
The usual answer to this question
Is feeble. 1t is that politics and ma
tionality may have undue influence on
the judges Of the present Court OF In.
ternational Justice. It Is doubtful II
o better plan for selecting judges for
an international tribunal has ever
been suggested than that which Is

ing requests for advisory opinions in
cases where the United States Is In
terested and objects.
Accomplish Two Purposes.
To meet this necessity there was
included in the Root protocol an ar
rangement by which the United States
should be formally notified Of all re-
quests for advisory opinions in the
Council, the assembly or the Court.
Provision was further made for dis
cussion, and in the event no agree
ment should be reached, the right OF
the United States to withdraw should
not be taken as an unfriendly act.
Some have claimed that the Ian
guage in these particulars Is ambigu-
Gus. To make the matter clear be-
yond o shadow of doubt. the pending
resolution contains clause that our
adherence is with the clear under
standing that the Court will not enter
tain request for an advisory opinion
over the objection of the United States
If our Government has or claims an
interest In the subject matter.
Thus are accomplished two whole
some purposes; first, that advisory
opinions may not be asked when the
United States objects because of in
terest. and second. If the United States
persists in its claim of interest and
objection no advisory opinion can be
given.
Fairly considered, the arrangement
makes certain the more effective
functioning of the Court without fric-
ton, and safeguards the fifth reserva-
ton.
The pending proposal for adherence
further serves the convenience OF
the United States. While giving us
the opportunity in every case of re-
quest for an advisory opinion to assert
an objection, the language of the
pending resolution does not require
consent by the United States to the

sential to make effective a settlement,
the subject must be referred to the
Senate. But 10 insist that no case
can be referred without approval Of
two-thirds Of the Senators is arbi-
trary. II Is not promotiye Of peace
ful methods for the adjustment Of
international controversies, and in my
opinion 1t cannot be justified In argu-
fnent or IN fact.
Many Urge Favorable Action.
In hearing before the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations on March
2s, 1894, the president Of the Amer
ican Bar Association, many Govern
ors of States. committees representing
churches, women's organizations (in-
cluding civic and political clubs) and
large number OF other groups exist
ing in various States, the spokesmer,
representing nearly every State IN the
Union, presented arguments, petitions
and memorials urging favorable action
on the World Court protocols.
Both the Democratic and Republican
parties In their platforms Of 1892 un.
equivocally declared for adherence.
The Democratic platform on the sub
ject Is I'VE advocate adherence to the
World Court with appending reser-
vations." The appending reservations
are the five reservations already de-
scribed. The Republican platform is
without qualification or condition. It

entertainment Of requests relative to
subject matter in which we have no
interest. If we do object and give no
tice Of our objection, IL becomes con-
trolling. No advisory opinion In such
case will be rendered by the Court.
Jurisdiction ID Clear.
The Jurisdiction Of the tribunal Is
clearly set forth in the Court statute.
1t gives no ground for the vague fear
expressed by those who oppose ad-
herence that membership may draw
the United States into European con-
troversies and entanglements.
The language Is: "The jurisdiction
Of the Court comprises all cases which
the parties refer TO it. and oil matters
especially provided for In treaties and
conventions in force"
There is no compulsory jurisdiction
in the sense that any nation may be
compelled to have its case decided,
but provision is made for consent In
advance by any member that four
classes OF disputes may come within
the jurisdiction Of the Court without
special agreement.
These four classes relate to the in
terpretation Of treaty to any ques-
ton of international law, to the ex-
istence of any fact which. II estab-
lished would constitute breach of an
international obligation, and the ma
ture or extent of the reparation to be
made for such breach.
There is O strange and striking con-
hict among the opponents Of the
Court. Some, as for instance Senator
Borah, would enter the Court If it were
given unlimited jurisdiction to decide
all international questions arising un-
der a code, and all issues arising un.
der a treaty; while others would only
enter the Court If when a case Is to
