The number of judges and deputy-judges may hereafter be increased by the Assembly, upon the proposal of the Council of the’ League of Nations, to a total of fifteen judges and six deputy judges. of Court shall Art. 4. The members the be elected by the Assembly and nominated by the Council from a list of persons by the national groups in the Court of Arbitration, in accordance with the follow¬ ing provisions. Members of the League of In the case of Nations not represented in the Ferinan nent Court of Arbitration, the list of can¬ didates shall be drawn up by national groups appointed for this purpose by their Governments under the same conditions as those prescribed for members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration by Arti¬ cle 44 of the Convention of The Hague of 1907 for the pacific settlement of inter¬ national disputes. before Art. 5 . At least three months the date of the election, the Secretary General of the League of Nations shall address a written request to the Members of the Court of Arbitration belonging to the States mentioned in the Annex to the Cov¬ enant or to the States which join the League subsequently, and to the persons appointed under paragraph 2 or Article 4. inviting them to undertake, within a given time, by national groups, the nomi¬ nation of persons in a position to accept the duties of a member of the Court. No group uni' nominate more than four persons, not more than two of whom shall be of their own nationality. In no ease must the number of candidates moniuated be more than double the number of seats to be filled.

Article 34, savs: “Only S(a( es or members r the Lcaoiw of Nations can be parties in eases before Hie court.” The United Stales cannot enter the without heeomino' a member of the mother stitution, the League. Stales not parties the League can't sue or be sued in this super court. As the matter now stands from our viewpoint, has neither the League nor the power to drag the I nib I States into world entanglements. If the Harding |no posal is adopted, tin United States will enter iho court and the Constitution of that court 'Ito'lf says that only members of the of Nat ions shall be heard by the .International Judges, leads Therefore, the Harding proposal inevitably, to what ! The Lenpue of N<t 'ioii.s. 1 ■ Chapter 2, follows: Art, 3(5. The jurisdiction of the Court Comprises all eases which the parties refer to it and all matters specially provided for in Treaties and Conventions in force. The Members of the League of Nations and the State- mentioned in the Annex to the Covenant may, U her when signing or ratifying the protocol to which the pres ont Statute is adjoined, or at a later mo ment. declare that Ihev recognize as coin pulsory, ipso fa,-lo ami without special agreement, in uTation to any other Mem her or State accepting the same obligation, the jurisdiction of the Court in all or any of the classes of legal disputes concerning: (a.) The interpretation of a Treaty, tii.) Any question of International Law ie.) The existence of any fact which if established, would constitute a breach of an international obligation. (d.) The nature or extent of the repara ♦ion . to be made for the breach of an in ternational obligation. The declaration referred to above may V' made unconditionally or on condition •f■ reeiproeity on tin* part of several or eer tain Members or States, or for a certain time. In the event of a dispute as to whether the Court has jurisdiction, the matter shall ke settled by the decision of the Court. Art. 37 . W hen a treaty 01 convention in force provides for the reference of a matter to a tribunal to be instituted by the League of Nations, the Court will be such tribunal. Art. 38. The Court shall apply: 1. International conventions, whether general or particular, establishing rules expressly States; recognized by the contesting 2. International custom, as evidence of a general 3. The practice accepted as law. nized civilized general nations; principles of law recog¬ hv *4. Subject to the provisions of Article THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, THOMSON, GEORGIA.! 59, judicial decisions and teachings of the • most highly qualified publicists of the the va riuos nations, as subsidiary means for determination of rules of law, This provision shall not prejudice the power of the Court to decide a case ex aequo et bono, if the parties agree thereto.' Tf our nation joins the World Court, we will have that moment surrendered our sov¬ ereignty to this super-government. The League and its Court will try law cases, the Judges will write decisions, and there will be no ap¬ peal from those judgments, because there will be no court superior to this World Court of ‘‘Justice.’ ’ The World Court is empowered to try all cases involving International Law. It will write new. rules for member nations, and even the interpretation of a Treaty is for the World Court to pass upon. The Court would be empowered to re¬ shape our legislation in regard to the Panama Canal. That Court would, no doubt, throw the canal open to every nation, and those nations would control the Canal Zone. A rt iele 54 says: “The deliberations of the court shall take place in private and remain secret.” Ifow is it possible for the father of “open covenants openly arrived .at” to favor this un¬ democratic institution, called a court of Jus i tire ?

The present policy of President Harding would indicate that his ad ministration is already committed to Wilson ,sm «nd foreign entanglements. Dnr people have not changed their views °n this subject since the last, national ram¬ paign, which gave Mr. Harding the Presidency by the largest plurality ever polled. Mr. Hard ing’s campaign talks stated the American side Btis League issue, and,our people the Democratic party and the League of Na ♦ ions, upon Mr. Harding’s assurance that, administration would not assume European burdens. The rank and file of the Republican pane are not following their President in tight for the World Court; the people cannot understand the President’s conversion. Senator Borah’s recent spsrtch on the World Court expresses the sentiment of thirds ot the American people. Borah says: "If anybody thinks that he can win in upro ting a system of foreign policy as as the government itself, let him get upon a political platform aiul try to carry the election. Every war. every invasion of territory since the League of Nations started is the work some member of the League. Every move disarmament of the League. has been A League opposed by’a member member incited Greece to war and then deserted her. Every military alliance has been framed by a of the League.” If it has been beyond the power of League of Nations to prevent minor wars, what assurance is there for ns that the League will abolish the war-fever, or even postpone the fast approaching world war? is Is it a League for peace; or it a debt collecting agency? A membeg of the President’s Cabinet, Sec¬ retary Wallace’s 'Wallace, owns and edits a newspaper, 1 1 Farmer.” The following state¬ ment appeared in the editorial columns of the Wallace journal, recently: ‘‘If we continue to invest heavily in for¬ eign countries we might as well make up our minds to pay taxes to support the greatest army and navy that the world has ever seen—where American investments are heavv, American troops are likely to follow.” Evidently, Mr. Wallace had in-mind when writing the foregoing, the huge concessions of oil lands in foreign nations. The Harding ad¬ ministration okeyed those investments, and if Mr. "Wallace’s editorial states the facts, Amer¬ ican capitalists have invested fifteen billion dollars abroad. It seems that the American flag is to fol¬ low the American dollar, just as the British flag has for many generations, followed Brit¬ ish speculators and exploiters to all nations. If Morgan, Vanderlip, Gary, and others, consulted Secretary Hughes before investing fifteen thousand million dollars abroad, you may be sure that re-assuring words from Mr. Hughes to the Morgans, committed the Hard¬ ing administration to the Morgan-(Jary-Van¬ derlip program. Wall Street journals and ad¬ ministration dailies tell ns that AH'. Morgan’s loan to Austria is a stop in the direction of Cniversal peace, brotherly love, etc. If o, why no loans to Germany? France is willing tor foreigners to loan money to Austria, but she is not willing for any nation to aid Gor many, C mt1 p r01015 Pnintc If* In * fai/nr Si 01 Of UT henry • C nrf j * (Continued from Page One.) and reformers.

In the State of Georgia, the McAdoo fore-, es and the Smith-Underwood forces will come together and the city politicians, who announce their opposition to preferential primaries, will hold a convention in Atlanta and try to give the Georgia votes to Underwood, who will swing them to “AI” Smith, just as lie went over to the opposition, when Wilson was nomi¬ nated at, Baltimore. Underwood is the Demo¬ cratic party’s man Friday, and he knows his Master’s Voice. The people of Georgia do not favor either Underwood, Smith, or McAdoo. Our people will vote for Henry Ford, if given a chance. The incoming administration will win the people’s confidence, if it provides for a Presi¬ dential primary in Georgia. If we act in lime, the Legislature will write a law on this subject, and the people will name their choice for the Presidency, and that choice will be Henry Ford himself.
