nicely liquidate the Judgment
against Albania.
The Commission for the
Restitution of Monetary Gold,
representing France, the Uni
ted Kingdom and the United
States, took the view that the
gold. might be employed to
meet the British claim-if it
were Albanian. Albania and
Italy both claimed it. but it
might actually belong to nei-
Their. So three years ago, the
commission asked the Inter-
national Court of Justice to
appoint an arbitrator to decide
the matter. Prof. Georges Saus-
ser-Hall of Switzerland on
February 20. 1858. decided the
gold belonged to Albania. The
way seemed open to pay of the
British claim.
But both Albania and Italy
opposed such step. So Italy.
as a non-member of the United
Nations, qualified last May TO
use the International Court of
Justice by declaring acceptance
of its jurisdiction, and on July
l filed its case. In its applica-
ton Italy commended:
The gold was really Italian,
since Italy had provided 88.5
per cent of the stock of the
Bank of Albania.
Communist Albania had ma

to advance from initial applica-
ton to judgment. but If there
is any necessity, as In the
Anglo-Iranian oil case, a mat
ter can be disposed of in a few
weeks. Advisory opinions re-
queSted by the United Nations
are rendered in four or FIVE
months, but the questions
posed are precise and the
statements before the court
limited in their scope.
The United States is COM
mitted to the use of the Inter-
national Court of Justice.
Compulsory jurisdiction was
accepted by declaration Of
August IA, 1916. with the APP
prevail of the Senate. and since
then the United States has
been liable to unilateral suit
by other states making similar
declarations. France hailed us
into court on the rights Of ma
tionals in Morocco. and we
came nearer to winning the
Judgment than France did.
But, as in the gold case, the
United States is most concerned
with having disputes settled
according to law. In this in
stance 1t is just one holder Of
the stakes, but the State De-
partment does not wish to
make a mistake about who gets
the monetary gold.

The District is putting the
finishing touches on a second
try at the fringe parking ex-
pertinent.
officials want inserted in the
clty's 1855 budget now at the
Capitol a 100000 off street
parking item to be charged
against 81 million in parking
meter nickels that have &C
cumulated to the credit Of the
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency.
Their plan would provide
free parking on all-weather
surface lots-one south of the
South Capitol Street Bridge. a
second near Carter Barron
Amphitheater, a third near
Soldiers Home and a fourth
near the National Training
School at Bladensburg road.
The basic test, however. will
be the lot near South Capitol
Street Bridge where owners of
1000 cars would be able to
park and grab a special bus
downtown.
Why a second try when the
last furry with a fringe was a
flop several years ago? When
it has had Spotty success in
other cities?
It's a package some down.
town businessmen are unWill-
ing to buy out of concern
among other things-for their
own packages. They wonder
if customers will want to haul
purchased bundles from down.
town stores to buses and from
buses to their cars at the
parking lots.
The Commissioners. how
ever, look at it this way: The
last experiment was not a fair
test. The two lots used-one
near Washington Circle that
was very hard to 11nd, and the
other at Municipal Center.

Albanian Gold Tests International Law

tionalized its state bank but
the decree did not touch the
gold, which could not be ma
tionalized because it was not
in the country.
The case took its regular
course in written proceedings.
Italy turned IN its first argu-
ment November 2, 1858, and
the three respondents their
"counter-memorial" early this
month. Still due are an
Italian reply and the rejoinder
of the respondents to complete
the written proceedings.
Albonio Challenged
But before dates for final
papers were fixed, Italy filed
a preliminary objection to its
own application. 1t questioned
whether Albania should be a
party to the litigation because
it had owned Ills per cent of
the stock Of Albania and the
arbitral award had called the
gold Albanian. One result is
that the Department of State
is hustling to prepare for the
hearing scheduled to open
May 10.
The courts proceedings seem
leisurely in view of the small
number of cases on the docket.
It normally takes about l8
months for a contentious case

Leose-Purchose Benefits
Don't miss the area implica-
tions Of the so-called lease
purchase bill now before the
Senate after House passage.
Under it's provisions, the
Government would contract
with private builders to con-
struct new Federal buildings,
including post offices, and then
lease them from these private
owners. The annual rental
would continue until the cost
of the project was covered
after which title would pass to
Uncle Sam.
One of the big complaints

that when he erects build

Germany Finds Secret of Stable Government

unable to create new govern
ment-until the Nazis picked
up the broken pieces. When
the new constitution-or Ger
man Basic Law" as 1t is called
was designed for the West
German Republic, the lesson
so bitterly learned was not for
gotten.
A New System
Under this new constitution
a government cannot be
thrown out of Office unless the
opposition agrees on a sue
cessor. Therefore a vote of no.
confidence means no longer
that the chancellor must 60.
In fact, he may retaliate by
asking the President Of the Re-
public to dissolve the parlia-
ment in the hope that new
elections will produce a more
favorable parliamentary COM
position. The President is not
obliged to comply with this re-
quest. But, even if he refuses
to dissolve the parliament, the
chancellor stays on until the
opposition parties have formed
a new governmental they
can.
These provisions give the
chancellor a very strong posi-
ton. They permit him to say
to the Parliament: Either you
support me or you will risk
dissolution. In any case, / stay
right here until you make up
your mind who will succeed
me-"
He knows full we'll that peo-
pie easily combine to criticize
but seldom can agree on
remedy. Thus an irresponsible
and heterogeneous opposition
can no longer create chaos by
throwing the government out
and then failing to agree on a
new one.
This important provision is
missing in the French and
Italian constitutions.
In France, a vote of no-con-
fidence by the National AS

in the resignation of the gov
