America’s Entrance In The World Court (Courtesy of the Yale Daily News) The political disputes over the World Court and the League of Nations have so confused the issue by discussion of details that the fundamental reason why America should join have been too often overlooked. 1, then, go back to first principles. I believe that any one who would forget the bitter political discussions- and would devote an hour’s honest thought to the subject would see that if America is to do anything to operate with other nations for world peace the least w is to join the Court. There is much more we can do, but can scarcely do anything 1 and participate at all in world-wide effort to prevent That ancient institution •hich we call a Court is really the supreme and basic invention of all civilization. It is the only device which has been found to work to prevent war when quar- ■els became acute. Without it, civilization itself would soon :■; in fact, it could never have existed. It is the Court 'hich everywhere has kept peace and this has been true '-widening circles. Even our humblest Court is that of the ‘Justice of the Peace”. When people talk loosely, they so often do, about its be ing impossible to abolish they are flying in the face of history. They overlook the fact that w'e have already, in spots, abolished war. We have abolish- in fact, wherever we have applied the proper remedy, that is, wherever we have insti tuted a strong court. We have abolished war between indi viduals, families, cities, states, and now are abolishing it be tween nations. Before the institution of the Court was devised even indi viduals settled their disputes Cain and Abel settled their’ When a dispute becomes acute not be settled diplo matically, there remain just two ways of settling it. One fight it out, in which case the stronger man wins irrespective of the justice of his case. The other is to referee it, that is to put it into the hands of a dis interested third party who is not so excited or prejudiced and who is more likely to make a just decision. That is the funda mental idea of a Court. This is a very simple inven tion and a very old one and the fact that it has become so versal demonstrates that heart man loves peace rather than war, that he prefers to let a judge decide rather than to resort to fighting. The first Court was the patriarch, who kept the peace wilihin the family. The family was the first “peace ^’oup’ But to keep peace within the family was not enough, population gi’ew and families 'ded each other it was necessary to keep peace between the families in order that clus ters of families might live to gether in a community or vil- The justice of peace, oi his equivalent in ancient civili zation, was the second step in the institution of Courts. But it was not enough to keep the peace within a village. Inter- dllage war was still possible, ind in primitive regions, such IS the Philippines before the United States entered, there no peaceful method of set tling disputes between villages. The next step was to cluster the villages into a state, as Mfssachusetts grew from its town meetings, and to institute State Courts to keep the peace betw'een communities. The next step was to cluster the States together into a Nation and to settle the disputes between the States by a Supreme Court. Our Supreme Court has settled eighty-seven such disputes be tween our States, and without the Supreme Court our States would certainly more than have been in war. Now the hour has struck for enlarging the peace group one stage fur ther to involve the whole earth be setting up a Court between the nations and clustering the nations into a League. We might almost describe the progress of civilization as con sisting in this gradual enlarge ment of the peace group from the family to the community, to the State, to the Nation, to the \\'orld. Only the last step has not yet been full taken and not be, until the United States )-operates. When the step fully taken, when the whole organized for peace, when the World Court authoritative as our Supreme Court, w’e shall have abolished 1 institution wholly and forever. Each previous step of enlarging the peace group has something outside and, therefore, was incomplete. Oc casional war was inevitable. But when the peace group in volves the whole earth there is nothing left outside and the only war possible is civil hich by the nature of the case seldom happens and is out lawed. Now at least we have a World Court with forty-seven herents and lacking only the United States to give it full prestige. Let us not talk about creating some substitute Court and let us not pretend that the so-called “Old Hague-Tribunal’ Court. It is only a list of names on paper! There never any other World Court than the Court of International Jus tice at The Hague, and the other nations of the world would never even consider disbanding that Court to please those few United States Senators who talk THE ATTRACTION FOR NOVEMBER ROSENBACHBR’S “GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY SALE” The genuine bargain feast of the year.

The situation, then, is that a ’orld Court is a fundamental necessity and that there is only World Court available. Moreover, unless or until America joins the League of Nations, there is no practical way in sight f.or our joining the ■Id Cou^t except that which worked out by Secretary Hughes and approved by Presi dent Harding and Coolidge as ell as supported by the party platforms of both political par ties. There is no excuse, there fore, for making a political issue out of the Court, and any man who, like Senator Borah, talks about repudiating the pai-ty pledge and refusing to support President Coolidge is simply obstruction and nothing me It is utterly impossible for them constructively to give us what fundamentally need in any other way, but it is possible for Borah and others strategic position in the Senate to obsruct and thwart this most fundamental project. There genuine danger that they will do so unless the practically unani- approval of the United States becomes sufficiently vocal. I believe the students of our universities, many of whom are already voters and the rest of whom will soon become assert a tremendous influence with the Senate especially by writing personal letters to their Senators and in other ways bringing to public attention their support of the World Court propostiion. The matter is slated to come before the Senate on December 17, and in order that any indi vidual’s influence shall bs brought to bear in favor of the Court, it is desirable that the effort should be made in the mediate future. The record of the Court thus r is good. It already has authority than our Supreme Court acquired in the same space of time. It is not neces- to argue the question of the League of Nations, to dis its various efforts to stop 1 including its most recent to stop the war betwi ce and Bulgaria. Nor is necessary to discuss the Locarno treaties. These are not the questions before the Senate .in December, but the Hughes plan. Under that plan we can join the Court without committing our selves to anything further and after we have done so we shall a better position to judge how much further, if at all, we •ish to go.
