In part,it seems to indicate a renewal of therecent domination of Scottish char¬acter in the persons of its members.Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonaldis a typically rugged Scotchman ofthe best intellectual type. PhilipSnowden, Chancellor of the Ex¬chequer. is a Yorkshireman, probablythe variety of Englishman most likethe Scot. Lord Haldane, the LordChancellor, another Scotchman, wasformerly identified with the LiberalImperialists, but has allied himselfwith labor because the latter party, inhis opinion, is the only one which atpresent recognizes the necessity ofeducational reform. All in all, thepresent cabinet is as thoroughly repre¬sentative a governing body as Eng¬land has known in recent times. Onthe basis of past utterances, Mr. Mac¬Donald’s foreign policy is expected toinclude: ('1) l’.«e of the League, withGermany and Russia represented, tosettle the European situation; (2) Agradual increase in autonomy for In¬dia, involving recognition of sovietRussia for the purpose of checkinganti-British propaganda by Russianagents in India; (3) General confer¬ences of the powers to solve the prob¬lems of reparations, interallied debt,♦ he French aggressions, and disarma¬ment.* * *Mahatma Gandhi, the great non-co-operationist native leader of India,was released from imprisonment,three days ago, by the British govern¬ing officials. Medical advice had beengiven that he must spend at least sixmonths at the seashore, and so theBombay government decided to remitthe balance of his sentenoc. Theobvious conclusion is that the astuteEnglishmen, accustomed to dealingwith the native mind, conceive thatGandhi, the martyr, would be an evengreater menace than Gandhi theorator, and are satisfied with the les¬ser evil. Whether or not this is thecorrect inference may come to lightat a later date, but, for the present atleast, it seems about the only con¬ceivable one.* * *Representative Green of Iowa, in areply to Prof. Adams’ letter, has ex¬pressed his opposition to SecretaryMellon’s proposed 25 per cent surtaxcut. Mr. Green points out that, how¬ever much the maximum surtax islowered, there will be no decrease inthe amount of money invested in tax-exempt securities, consequently theamount of capital kept out of busi¬ness and withheld from the government will be approximately the same.Mr. Green will acordingly advocate areduction of not more than 15 percent, making the maximum surtax 3aper cent.* * *The Passion Play of Selsach.Switzerland, said to antedate that ofOberammagau, will be presented inNew York City in the course of thisyear.

Raiding NeighborsIs National SportIn Arabia“Raiding neighboring tribes is thenational sport in Arabia,” said Dr.Paul Harrison, in his lecture lastnight in Kent theatre, on his twelveyear's experience as a physcian to thepeople of the desert tribes in Arabia.“There is really no more mortalityfrom this risky sport than our Amerfican game of footall,” he added,“though of course, the natives are al¬ways coming nonchalantly to the hos¬pital to get bullets fished out of vari¬ous parts of their anatomy.”Dr. Harrison entertained his listen¬ers with scores of anecdotes on Ara¬bian life. He told the story of oneold patriarch who had come to betreated for a badly wounded lag, andafter going through a serious majoroperation with hardly any indicationof the pain he was suffering, went offwith his enthusiasm no whit dimin¬ished for the national oport.Use Cigarette “Anaesthetic”"Treatment of the patients is oftenmade without the use of anesthetics,because of their amazing facility forstanding pain,” said Dr. Harrison indiscussing medical treatments. “Oneof our favorite methods is to keep aninveterate smoker from tobacco justbefore the operation. Then, duringthe operation, he is allowed to smokea few cigarettes, and he is usually sohappy to be allowed to smoke that heis not bothered by the pain.The physician in Arabia has an(Continued on page 7)CHESS TEAM FIGHTS FORFIRST PLACE INCITY LEAGUEHaving defeated the Chess team ofSinai Center on Tuesday, the Univer¬sity chess team is gradually workingup to first place in the City ChessLeague competition tournament nowunder progress.

Classes inAmerican literature have already lx>-gun to scrutinize its pages and reporton its contents.Most pleasing is a cursory glance atthe green cover and the conservativemechanical makeup of the Mercury. Butas the reader begins to turn its pageswith the idea of critical examination, hebegins to feel that the glabrous pageshave sundry spines which jab at hisintellectual feelers. Our friends andimitators of The Circle, Menken andNathan, have inetamorphasized the dullmechanical Stuart Set body; but theghost of the Smart Set, (we cannotrightfully call it a soul) lives in thenew Mercury.One becomes possessed of a vague andirritatingn dizziness, after a draught ofMercury, accompanied by a feeling thatKnopf’s infant, raising a feeble voice oficonoclasm, will as he is fed with ad¬vertising and circulation tidbits, growinto a lusty, bawling, smart child, withan amazing vocabulary but lacking thatfiner discrimination between nice words. nd jHitent ideas.But. we shall continue to read theAmerican Mercury.

The ancient complaintsabout late starts, jutnhled-up grandmarches, and not enough dancing arein the air, with everybody wonderingalrout this year’s party.From leaders for the 1924 affair havesent out earnest pleas for those attend¬ing to enter the club promptly at 9, sothat the grand march can begin at ap¬proximately 9:45. There has been butone concrete suggestion the execution ofwhich would undoubtedly help to solvethe problem. It has been suggestedthat fraternity men planning to attendthe Prom, make arrangements for sup¬per at the houses, invite their guests tothe affairs and proceed front there tothe Prom.We think that this is a good idea.Fraternities could combine in such anaffair, much in the same manner as that.of exchange luncheons, popular withthe Greek letter societies a year ago.Thus all the men going in two frater¬nities could have supper at one of thehouses, while those not attending couldeat at the other house.Agitation was started some time agofor more festivities in connection withthe annual formal party. It seems thatthe supper plan offers a simple and en¬tertaining innovation which, if success¬fully carried out, will not only fosterinter fraternity spirit, hut will get somenf the party, at least organized to ar¬rive at the South Shore country dubon time.ALPHA DELT PLEDGESAlpha Delta Phi announces thepledging of John Spenc.e of Oak Pari<,111.CIIH Kin KTIIIC.%1, smiKftA non seetiirliin religious orgnni/.ntIon lofoster the knowledge, love und prnetlee ofthe Right.THK r I.A YIIOIHK111) '4.

WhileProf. Wright has, in his statement inthe Maroon, discussed quite fully thegeneral considerations, he has neg¬lected to refer, except in a word, tcthe details of the Permanent Court ofInternational Justice and its practicaloperation. Since Mr. Bok proposedto secure “the best practical plan bywhich the United States may cooper¬ate with other nations to achieve andpreserve the peace of the world,” itseems reasonable to consider the prac¬ticability of the plan and its value asa means of preventing war, ratherthan wrangle over the ethics of theirreconcilable opponents or of theidealistic advocates of the program.The very nature of the court is suchthat it is. at its best, but a “court oftrivialities." Article 36 of the organicstatute provides that “the jurisdictionof the court comprises all cases whichthe parties refer to it" if included inone of the four classes of justicibledisputes. The jurisdiction is clearlyvoluntary, or as President Coolidgetermed it “the court is one to whichwe can go, but to which we cannot bebrought.”In practice, voluntary jurisdictionmeans no jurisdiction. The greatpowers are not disposed to submitreally vital issues to an outside partyWhere there is any doubt as to theresult, even arbitration which usuallyresults in a compromise, has beenlooked upon with little favor by thosepowers which are in a position to en¬force their views. Thus, even theUnited States which is, acocrding toProf. Wright, the leading advocate of“international justice,” refused on sev¬eral occasions to arbitrate the claimsof Columbia against this country. We,ourselves, it seems, declined to par¬ticipate in the judicial settlement ofeven so minor a dispute as this. Whatof the more serious difficulties? Whatis the attitude of other lange nations’What basis is there for hoping thatthe great powers would consent to theadjudication of important questionswhich might lead to war? Certainlynot the tcndancies prior to the estab¬lishment of the World Court! Andsince then, there has been no generalstroke of conscience among the mem¬bers of the society of nations.Since its inception, the court hasconsidered nine cases, it is true, buteight of the decisions were merely ad¬visory ones, issued at the request ofthe Council of the League of Nations.The court was not called upon ninetimes to settle disputes betweenstates, but functioned principally asan advisory body to the Council o(the League. Even in this capacity, itconsidered such weighty measures aswhether the Dutch government or theDutch labor unions should select thedelegate to the International LaborConference and whether that confer¬ence might discuss the subject of agricultural labor. These matters areparticularly important in view of thepurely advisory character of the La¬bor Conference, and their settlementundoutedly prevented a second worldwar. Even the single case submittedby the disputing parties was a minorincident involving a technicality inthe administration of France in Mo¬rocco. In its two and one-half yearsof operation, the court lias not re¬viewed one vital dispute and only oncedid both parties agree to refer a con¬troversy to this tribunal.The most serious problem in Europetoday is tbe one concerning the occu¬pation of llir Ruhr. The French claimthat the treaty of peace gave themthe right to seize the Ruhr valleythe opposite opinion is held by Great Britain and Germany. 1 he con¬dition which resulted is too wellknown to require description. Thedisagreement was elearly within thesphere of the Permanent Court foraccording to the statute, the interpre¬tation of treaties is one of classes ofdisputes with which the court mayconcern itself. Yet, the parties didnot come before the c*e«ui t, and now asituation prevails which is as destruc¬tive and objectionable as war. Thecourt was and -hows indications ofremaining an ineffective, meaninglessorgan in world politics.Not only is jurisdiction -optional,but the competence of the court is. inaddition, limited to justicible disputesSuch mattters as “national honor”which have frequently given rise toserious difficulties, cannot, accordingto the court statute, be hr ought be¬fore the Permanent Court. Thus, theSerajero incident of 1914 that led di¬rectly to the world conftic t, could nothe settled by the World 'Court. Sim-iliarly, it was impossibly for Greece to even request the adjudication of theCorfu affair. The same is true of theimprisonment of the American ma¬rines in Mexico by Huerta and theresultant occupation of Vera Cruz.The last two cases are not commonlyknown as wars, hut battles werefought and lives were lost; call thesituation what you will—w’ar, inter¬vention. reprisal—the effect is thesame and should be prevented by anypeace plan that purports to he prac¬tical. References to history alone canindicate the importance of the partplayed by “national honor” in the pastwars. Insults to the honor of a na¬tion have such powerful effects inarousing public sentiment, patrioticspirit, and popular enthusiasm thatastute statesmen have found this basisfor war a convenient and expedientone. And it is such popular groundsfor war that are excluded from thejurisdiction of the peace preservingagency, the World Court.The lack of competence of thecourt is, in itself, condemnatory enough to destroy any support of it.Since the great powers are unwillingto refer vital issues to the court, andsince many vital issues are entirelyoutside the scope of the court’s ac¬tivities. the Permanent Court of In¬ternational Justice has no means for settling serious difficulties that are.likely to give rise to hostilities. How,then, is joining the court a step inthe direction of peace? How is thishelpless agency to prevent or checkwar?Max Swiren.LEWIS HOSIERY AND LINGERIE SHOPS1 1400 East 55th St. 1521 E. 67th St. Zm SptM-iulizInK In i’hoenlx, lltil«l!r««f and Onyx ilntlrr)’.

TheMaroons finished their practice with agame against the freshmen last night,while the Wolverines, playing in AnnArbor, were going through a similarworkout preparatory to entraining forChicago tonight.Based on advance indications and pastperformances the locals arc the slightfavorites. While Michigan has beencopping her contests by the narrowestof one point margins, the Varsity hasbeen running up decisive wins overIowa and Wisconsin!!, the latter, one ofthe strongest fives in the conference.Michigan s l*est against the compara¬tively weak Gopher squad was a victoryin the final minute of play, the Min¬nesota squads failure to cage free throwsbeing largely instrumental for theNortherners.Offense Combination FastMichigan, however, boasts what Isprobably the fastest combination in theconference in the persons of Cherry, andKipke guards, and Hoggerty, a for¬ward. Other players who will startin the game tomorrow are Doyle, center,and Bang, forward.Four of the five men on the Wolver¬ine team are used in shooting, Doylel>eing the only man not used in scoring.The style of play used by the Ann Ar-l*>r men calls for Doyle to jump at thetip off and then run back to standingguard where his 6 foot 3 inches otheight and proportionate lateral dimen¬sions are valuable in breaking up theoppossing teams’ offence.He will concentrate his efforts onDickson in tomorrow’s fray. The lat¬ter lacks less than two inched of equal¬ing the Ann Arbor bruser in height,and has a decided advantage in speed.Cherry to Play BarnesCherry, running mate of Harry kinkcon the Ann Arbor squad will play Barnes,while kipke himself will devote his ef¬forts to defence to attempting to stopthe lanky Alyea.On offence the Michigan men use agame similar to those that the Maroonshave met in their last two battles, usingfrequent pivots to dodge oncoming op¬ponents.In the last two games the locals havedemonstrated that they have prettythoroughly solved the mysteries of thepivot, and on nearly all occasions, havehad a man ready to meet the pivoter, sothat this form of offence should notprove bothersome.kipke is the best scoring bet of theWolverines. In the game against Iowahe scored four field goals and threefree throws, two of the field goalscoming from past mid floor. On theother occasions he succeeded in drib¬bling through the entire Iowa five andscoring from right under the basket.Water BasketballNew Tarpon SportWater-basketball, a sport hithertolimited to University men, will be aninnovation of the Tarpon club, follow¬ing its suggestion by Isabel Gorgas,president of that organiation.

HARRIERS GET OLDENGLISH ‘CY’ ATBANQUETMore men out for track and greaterinterest on the part of the student l>odyand alumni in track and field affair, wasthe keynote of the evening at a ban¬quet last night attended by seventy-fivealumni, varsity, and green shirt trackmen, in Hutchinson commons. The din¬ner was tendered by the athletic associa¬tion and preceded the first annual Alum¬ni-Varsity-Freshmen track meet in Bart¬lett gym.Five old Knglish C’s were awardedcross-country runners at the finish ofthe ceremonies by Director A. A. Stagg,who remarked that since the freshmanbarriers were not well-organized, noth¬ing in the way of awards was contem¬plated for them. The five new C menwere named as la-vine, McNeil, Back,Haas, and Farley. These men are alsoupon the present Varsity track team andstep various distances for the Maroons.Following an excellent dinner, Direc¬tor Stagg introduced a number of form¬er C men who were present, and ex¬plained that since very few of them hadcompeted in track for some time, toomuch could not be expected of themduring the meet. However, he notedseveral whom he thought to be in con¬dition and remarked that tney wouldprobably show heels to a number offleet varsitv runners.fAmong the former stars present wereTed Curtis, quarter miler who made thetrip to Japan with the baseball teamand defeated the swiftest Japanese inexhibition races; Austin Menahl andCovey Clark, shot putter of note; JerryFisher, present high jump and pole vaultcoach at Bartlett; Egil Krogh. milersupreme; Red Graham, former polevault flash; A1 Brickman, fast quarter-miler, and brother of the present Varsitycaptain; and Walter Bowers, the crackmiler of not so long ago.A great predominance ot shot putterswas noticeable in the gathering, Mr.Stagg stating that a number of alumniof whom he was once proud as run¬ners had developed into shot men undersome influence of which he was notcognizant; in addition, It turned outthat seven of the freshmen present hadwon their green jerseys in the shot.JOHN THOMAS LEADSFIELD IN SECONDSHOT MEETFred Hobscheid, winner of the firsthandicap shot-putting contest, is be¬ing given extraordinary competition inthe second of the series of trials, byJohn Thomas, who is heaving thesphere a good eighteen inches fartherthan Hobby consistently. The con¬test. in its first week, shows the firstand second men with puts to theircredit of 39 feet inches, and 38feet 1 inch, respectively; recordswhich compare very favorably withthe winning marks of the first threeweeks.The number of men putting the shotin this year’s aspirants to the track-sters’ ranks exceeds anything seenhere before. About fifteen men workregularly every day and this is onlya part of the aggregation who professto he weight men.Several are making tosses that,when the respective handicaps arc ad¬ded. will come perilously close to therecords achieved by those selected toput from scratch. Among these arcFrieda, Rittenhousc, and Sellers,whose heaves will probably total closeto the winning records. Bert McKinney and Olwin RunClose Race With St. Johns’ StarFive ballots were necessary lastnight, before Jimmy Cusack waselected Freshman track captainTwenty green shirt men were presentat the election, which was held imme¬diately following the track banquet inHutchinson Commons.Bert McKinney, stellar fifty yarddash and hurdles man, lead the new-leader a close race throughout the bal¬loting and was followed by Olwin,shot-putter.The new frosh leader is a graduateof St. John's Military Academy,pledged to Phi kappa Psi fraternity,and shines in the quarter and half mileruns. He won his honor over fiveother men who contested the electionvery closely. The fifth ballot, be¬tween McKinney. Cusack, and Olwin.w'as the strongest in favor of the win¬ner.In addressing the green shirtersALPHA SIGS EQUALMARK OF LAMBDACHIS IN PIN MEETAlpha Sigma Phi bowlers, headedby Bill Powers, who hung up 211 inone of his games, last night tied thehigh team record of 2,286, which wastecorded by Lambda Chi Alpha inits games on Wednesday night. TheAlpha Sigs rolled against the PhiKaps, who used seven men in a vaineffort to get their score within 500points of the Alpha Sigs.The closest conflict of the eveningwas the A. T. O.—Delta Chi match,in which the former were victoriousby 56 pins. No startling scores weremade, Hoff’s 168 for the A. T. O.’sbeing closely followed by Parsons’166 for Delta Chi.Psi U. received a forfeit fromKappa Sigma in the afternoon playwhen the Kappa Sigs failed to show-up for their scheduled match. TheOwlmen went ahead and rolled theirgame for the sake of the point col¬umn, the best score being McCul¬lough’s 163 in his last game.Standings of the two bowlingleagues, including last night's games,are as follow-s:LEAGUE 1Alpha Sigma Phi 139Alpha Tau Omega 126Delta Chi 120Phi Kappa Sigma 108Psi I’psilon 43Kappa Sigma '. . . . 35Phi Sigma Delta 33LEAGUE 2Lambda Chi Alpha 141Sigma Alpha Epsilon 86Phi Kappa Psi 83Tau Kappa Epsilon 72Zeta Beta Tau 68Sigma Chi 38Wiggin Cops Honors inFrosh Wrestling MeetGeorge VViggin copped the finals inthe 117-pound class of the Freshmanelimination wrestling tourney heldyesterday afternoon in Bartlett to de¬termine positions on the yearlinggrappling team.

When HarryFrieda of the Varsity broke his polein his second try in the pole vault ateleven feet six inches and was forcedto retire. Graham and Fisher of thegrads divided first honors and broughtin a victory for their forces.Stellar performances marked the en¬tire program and men who took sec¬ond and third places forced the vic¬tors to the limit. McKinney drewfirst blood in the fifty, turning it in5 3-5 seconds, hut trailed in both tin-hurdles. tying for second in the highbarriers, and taking third over the low-sticks.Krogh Wins in MileJones and Brickman were the menwho took the other places in both ofthe^e races. Krogh, last year’s captain, won the mile after letting Bow ¬ers, ol the class of '22, set the pace.Duggan, a yearling, lived up to expec¬tations in grabbing third in the bril¬liant time of 4 minutes, 38 seconds.McFarlane, the doughty mainstayof the Varsity quarter milers, wasclosely pursued by Spence of the firstyear men and turned a neat win in52 2-5. Over the half mile distanceKrogh again chalked up a victory butwas pressed by the Freshmen cap¬tain, Cusack. The time of 2:01 1-5was good, considering the age of theFreshmen and the fatigue under whichthe winner had to labor.Bourke walked away from the fieldin the two mile and his success inturning the distance under ten min¬utes was notable.The field events were the forte ofthe grads who had not lost theirknack and needed no special trainingto show the old time form. Clarkand Menahl. both of whom werefamous in the annals of track work,took first and second in the shot re¬spectively, neither having to strainthemselves. The high jump was awin for Terry Fisher, who is aiding thecoaches of the University at the pres¬ent time, when after a jump off, hedefeated Cokey Clark.
