Army chaplain of Praise the Lord

ments actually did fire gun at
his countrys enemies. he was within
his rights under international law.
One of the chaplainS credited
with inspiring the song has denied
firing gun and said such action
would have violated International
law and might have mstigated re-
prisals.
But listen to Dr.. Charles Cheney
Hyde, Columbia University authori-
ty on international law and former
solicitor for the State Department:
We regard priests and ministers
as non -combatantS it's true But
any man in uniform is part of his
country'S armed forces and as such
has every right to help win his
CountrY'S battle in any way he can.

Most Misunderstood Law.
DR.. Hyde thinks that of all in
ternational subjects. international
law is the most misunderstood.
And 1t would be a good thing if
people generally knew more about
it." he went ON. because in my
opinion all this war is is a fight for
International law
In spite of wars. DR.. Hyde says
International law has been gaining
strength during the last 300 years
and has done much to mitigate the
evils OF Wal.

he asked. Why is there so little
maltreatment of prisoners? Why

Why has no nation used poison

forward Christmas presents from
people in Germany to Germans held
prisoner in England?
''All these merciful benefits derive
from International law"
Other Side of Ledger.
On the other side of the ledger
there are such things as the Lidice
massacre. the reported use of germ
warfare by Japan against China, the
abuse of civilians in Nazi-occupied
territory.
After the war such reported
viola lions of international law must
be investigated" said DR.. Hyde, and
the offending belligerents must be
penalized.'
International law, DR.. Hyde ex-
plains, is code of conduct eStab-
llshed by custom as well as by
treaties. conventions and other
agreements among civilized nations.
The Hague Conventions of 1899
and 1907 are basic documents in
international law" he went on, and
l am sure that the Atlantic Charter,
naming the four freedoms. hereafter
will be regarded as an addition to
that law"
Although not codified and not
backed by police power, international
law has great strength, Dr.. Hyde
contends.
As the late Elihu Root said,
There is an indefinite and almost
mysterious influence exercised by
the general opinion of the world"
regarding the character and con-
duct of every state.
This influence is potent, even III

DR.. Hyde will contribute to that in

The courts Of many nations have
upheld international law. DR.. Hyde
points out. on the theory that the
law of all nations necessarily is a
part of the law of any nation.
Supreme Court Sanction
Our own Supreme Court has sane
toned that law again and again, .
DR.. Hyde went on. In 1909 Justice
Gray said international law is part
of our law, and must be aSCertained
and administered by our courts.
That law was invoked by the Su-
preme Court recently in reviewing
the trial Of the six German Sabo-
teurS.
when Justice Stone. in his opin-

ion, described the saboteurs as un-
lawful combatants, not entitled to
the privileges accorded lawful COM
batants, he was referring, not to any
statute on the books of the United
States. but to the law of nations.
Under that law, as well as accord
ing to our own laws, the saboteurs
were executed"
The Hague Convention of 1907
defined a lawful combatant as one
who wore a uniform or other easily
visible emblem of identification who
bore arms openly, and who was sub
ject to the discipline of a respon-
Sible commander.
Definition Still Stands.
That definition still stands" said
DR.. Hyde, "and lawful combatant.

DR.. Hyde. assuming victory for the
Allies, says, my sublime hope for
the future is based on the fact that
for 300 years international law has
grown and thriven because the coun-
tries in whom power was lodged
willed it so. The strong countries
willed that weak countries like Hol-
land and Sweden and Ecuador be
allowed to exist. The strong coun-

Thaws Show
Timely Films
Of Near East
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK. April 3O.-On
several occasions at private
showings Gotham society has
thrilled to the magnificent and
timely movies" made by the
Lawrence Copley Thaws last
year in the Near East and India.
They are colored films of such
beauty and excitement prac-
tically every one who has seen
them expressed the hope that,
some day. Larry" and Peggy"
Thaw would make il possible for
movie" audiences in every city,
town and hamlet of the country
10 revel in the magnificence and
the luxury of the films-espe-
cially those sequences showing
the potentates of India arrayed
in their fabulous jewels and
golden panoply.
When the Thaws invaded
India in their $4,000 de luxe
air-cooled trailer bent on filming
the two sides OF 1ndia-the afflu-
ence OF the rich and the poverty
of the 'untouchables" - they
little dreamed the films they
made for their own pleasure
would become a document
probably the last movies" that
will ever be made of the pre-
war India that is certain to
undergo revolutionary changes.
1T is DUE to a desire on the
part of the Thaws to give every
one an opportunity to see the
real India, now so much in the
news, that they have agreed to
the showing of their sensational
films by Twentieth Century-Fox.
who will distribute 10 "shorts"
cut from the quarter of a million
feet of colored film exposed by
the Thaws on their trans-Asia
expedition - undoubtedly the
most costly pilgrimage INDUCED
in by any Mayfair couple in
modern times.
The first of the series will deal
with Turkey and is optical proof
of why the United Nations
should keep Turkey a neutral
nation.
If you don't gasp in amaze
ment when you see a famous
Maharajah wearing a festoon
diamond necklace of incredible
value and composed of $4,000
carats of diamonds you just
aren't interested in "ice."

by New York's social leaders
look like 5 and 10-cent store
