NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS American Entry to World Court Will Again Be Up to the Senate. By EDWARD W. PICKARD SO FAR as the administration can go with it, the United States has now adhered to the World court. Unner Instructions from President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson, the American charge d’affaires at ( Berne, Switzerland, Jay Pierrepont Moffat, signed all the protocols involved In America’s entry Into the tribunal. Albania, Abyssinia and Lithuania have yet to sign the Root protocol, and then* at what he deems a propitious time, Mr. Hoover will send to the senate the revised protocol of adherence and ask its approval. The President’s action followed the receipt of a note from Secretary Stimson analyzing the situation and urging acceptance of the new protocol. Mr. Stimson holds that the amendments to the court statute safeguard the rights of the United States and sufficiently meet the objections and reservations made by the senate. “The amendments,’’ he says, “are shown to be general tn character, so as to include all nations; they also show that the reason why It Is proposed to assimilate the procedure on advisory opinions to the procedure on contentious cases is the fundamental reason that unless both parties to a dispute are present and heard the opinion will not carry any weight The report, therefore, makes it clear beyond peradventure that the consent of the disputant nations is required in every case as a precondition to the granting of an advisory opinion involving any dispute. “By this ruling and amendment another fear as to advisory opinions Is removed. If the United States is Involved In any dispute or controversy, to whatever degree, with another country, that matter cannot be brought before the World court without the consent of the United States, even for the purpose of obtaining an advisory opinion." In conclusion the secretary of state says: “Is there any reason why, on such terms, our government should not join in the support, moral and financial of such a court, or why it should riot lend its efforts toward the selection of Judges who will act In this great work in accordance with the nobel traditions of the American judiciary? Or why our government’s great power should not be pldced in a position where it can influence for good or check against evil in the future development of the court’s charter and.work? I think not." That there will be a warm fight in the senate over ratification of the protocol is certain. The opposition asserts that, by the scheming of the British government, the fifth and “most important” reservation of the senate has been nullified. Under this reservation it would be impossible for Great Britain and other European powers operating through the League of Nations to invoke the aid of the ■" court in furthering their designs on the United States with respect to war debts, restriction of immigration and numerous other conflicts of interest between the Old and the New worlds. The Root formula provides for the withdrawal of the United States from the court if there Is insistence on an advisory opinion to which this country objects. JOSEPH ’R. GRUNDY, the wealthy high priest of the high tariff cult, has been appointed United States senator from Pennsylvania, to fill the seat which was denied to William S. Vare. The ■ appointment expires In December, 1930. and was made by Gov. J. S. Fisher with the understanding that Grundy will be a candidate next November to succeed himself, when the other primary contestants probably will be Mr. Vare and former Gov. Gifford Pinchot. The power of the Mellon organization, of which Grundy Is a part, will back him in that fight. Some of the radical senators from the West who, Grundy has said, have ' too much voice tn national affairs In comparison to the importance of their states, were desirous of refusing him admittance to the senate. But Senator Caraway of Arkansas, chairman of the lobby investigating committee, recognized that a fight against Grundy would be futile and refused to oppose his seating. “I think,” said he, “that It will be a good thing for the Democratic party to admit him to the senate." Consequently, when Grundy presented himself Thursday, accom- „ panied by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. he was permitted to take the oath Rut not before the radical sen-

ators had told him what they thought of him and his appointment. It was their last chance for such plain speaking and they made the most of it, castigating Grundy severely and declaring that Governor Fisher had disgraced the state of Pennsylvania and insulted the senate by naming the super-lobbyist a member of that august body. Senator Ny’e of North Dakota asserted that, instead of an election, there had been an auction sale. The senatorship had been knocked down, he said, to the highest bidder. Mr. Grrindy, whose expenditures for Governor Fisher were greater than those of Mr. Vare. Senators Cutting, Norris. Wheeler, Barkley, Pittman and others were no less severe. But Robinson and Norris and others who are lawyers told them there was no legal reason for refusing to admit Grundy to his seat. Nye, however, offered a resolution that Grundy be declared not entitled to retain his seat because of his participation in a campaign where such huge sums were expended, and it was referred to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Grundy, who is the president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' association, has been active in- politics for forty years, and became a Republican leader Tn the state after the death of Boles Penrose. THERE Is a lot of talk about Calvin Coolidge as a candidate In 1931 for the senate seat from which Senator Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts says he will retire at that time. But the former President is characteristically reticent- in the matter. Last week R. M. Washburn, president of the Roosevelt club of Boston, wrote Mr. Coolidge urging that he say whether he would accept an unopposed nomination and asserting that his silence as to his Intentions was putting the Republican party in the state “at a dangerous disadvantage.” BY A vote of 239 to 100 the house of representatives approved the Mellon-Berenger agreement for settlement of the French debt. Although the debt resolution has not been voted on previously In the senate, the indications are that it will pass that body by about the same proportionate majority it received in the house, and as the French chamber of deputies ratified the agreement on July 27, approval by the senate will make It effective. RIOTOUS demonstrations in Haiti have ceased at least for the present and the American marines as usual “have the situation well tn hand." Total casualties in the worst of the clashes between the marines and natives, the one at Aux Cayes, were ten Haitians killed and thirty wounded. The disorders were directed against President Borno and the Americans who have been assisting his administration, and Gen. John H. Russell, American high commissioner, considered the situation so serious that he asked for more marines. Reinforcements were started but the quieting down of the trouble made them unnecessary. President Romo made a statement that he would not seek re-election and Russell said this had a most telling effect in restoring order. President Hoover thinks conditions tn the Island republic are so chaotic that they should be Investigated and asked congress to authorize him to appoint a commission to make an inquiry and advise the administration as to its wisest course. Some of the Democrats and radicals objected loudly to this, declaring that the President himself was responsible for conditions in Haiti and was seeking to unload it on congress. FOR the second time in five months convicts in the New York state prison at Auburn made a wild and murderous attempt to escape. A group of them captured Warden Edgar S. Jennings and seven guards, released other desperate criminals from their cells and sent word to troopers, guards and state police gathered outside that they must be allowed to go out unhindered or they would kill their captives. When the doors of the main hall were opened the troopers threw in gas bombs and a lively gunfight ensued in the course of which three convicts were killed, a number wounded and the warden was rescued. The other prisoners retreated to another hall and kept up the battle and before they surrendered five more of them were shot to death. Principal Keeper G. A. Durnford was fatally shot by the convicts early tn the uprising when they tried to seize him as hostage. The rioters were comparatively few in number and during the battle 1,590 others remained quietly in the prison yard. TERRIFIC storms swept over the Atlantic for days, resulting in the wrecking of many small vessels and

some larger ones on the European side and the loss of more lhan one hundred lives. In the southern and western parts of England the flooded rivers inundated towns and farm lands and did vast damage. The Thames valley, Somerset and parts of the western midland counties were the worst sufferers. Roads were made impassible by the water and some smaller railroad lines suspended service. WHAT was described as the worst studio Are In the history of the movies in America cost the lives of ten persons In New York city and many others were seriously burned. Four of the dead were chorus girls. A company of 110 was making a picture In the studio, on the Harlem river, when a curtain was fired by a piece of arc light carbon or a cigarette. The flames spread so rapidly that It was with greatest difficulty that any of the occupants of the building escaped. Jbhn C. Flynn, vice president of the Pathe Film company, and Henry Lally, production manager, were arrested on charges of “excusable manslaughter” and culpable negligence. NEXT of the groups to organize a co-operative marketing system in compliance with the plans of the federal farm board so as to obtain Its financial aid are the fruit growers of Michigan and Wisconsin. The board announced that a tentative understanding had been reached with representatives of fruit growers’ co-op-erative organizations of the two states “looking to the development of a unified co-operative marketing program." Two regional corporations are planned. The board is willing to lend to the fruit growers as facilities loans a total of $1,920,000. to be advanced to individual co-operatives on a basis of 00 per cent of the properties acquired or constructed. COL. PATRICK J. HURLEY, who has been assistant secretary of war, has been promoted by President Hoover to be head of the department to succeed the late Secretary Good. Colonel Hurley hails from Oklahoma and has had a varied career, distinguishing himself in various ways. He is the youngest member of the cabinet. The President appointed William A. Castle, first assistant secretary of state for the last three years, to be special ambassador to Japan to serve during the period covered by the naval limitation conference in London. In making the appointment known It was stated at the White House that Mr. Castle would return to his present duties when the armament conference is concluded. His selection for special ambassadorial duties was made so that the administration would have a trained diplomat, thoroughly conversant with the naval situation, in Tokyo while the naval conference was in session. REPORTS from Canton tell of a great victory of the Chinese Nationalist forces over the rebellious “ironsides" division just outside the city in which it was believed half of Gen. Chang Fak-wei’s troops had been killed, wounded or captured. An attack by the Kwangsl rebels along the West river also was repulsed. There was fighting with the mutineers in Honan and Anhwei provinces and fifty miles north of Nanking. These successes of the government armies have largely restored confidence in Canton and Nanking, and it is believed the rebellion may soon be brought to an end. Admiral kondouriotis has resigned as president of the Grecian republic-because of his advanced age and failing .health. He is seventy-four years of age and has had a distinguished career. He was the victorious commander of the Greek fleet in the Balkan war of 1912-13 and a regent after the death of King Alexander in 1920, and again after the departure of King George II in 1923. He has been president since December 4, 1926. President Raimis of-the senate took over the duties of president pending the election of a new chief executive, and he is being boomed for the place. WHEN the University of lowa recently was denied readmission to the Western Conference on the ground that not yet done enough in the Way-rtf “housecleaning” in its athletics, there were many who thought the faculty committee of the conference was wrong. But now the athletic board of the lowa Institution has virtually admitted the conference attitude was Justified. It adopted a resolution declaring ineligible twentytwo athletes who were beneficiaries of the Belting loan fund and stating that lowa’s proper field of competition lies within the conference. The board, however, still refuses to recognize the right of the conference to say who shall or shall- not coach at lowa. (©. I*l*. Western Newspaper Union.)

JUNIOR Topic— Tha Story of the First Christmas. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Finding and Following Right Leaders. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADUL'I TOPlC—Christian Obligations to Childhood 1. The Greatest In the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 18:1-6) Jesus answered concretely the disciples question as to who is greatest in the kingdom ot neaven by placing a child to their midst and declaring: L lite condition ol entrance into the kingdom (v 3). In order to enter the kingdom one must become childlike. He thus showed to these ambitious disciples that a change ot heart was necessary in order to even enter the kingdom, let alone having an honorable position therein. Birth from above Is e* sentlal, even to see the kingdom (John 3:3. ft). 2. fhose who possess childlike humility are the greatest (v 4). The child is dei>eiident, lowly and modest Such characteristics are only p»®sible to those who havw been regenerated 11. Little Children Brought to Jesus.— (Mk 10:13-16). 1. The mothers' desire that Jesus might touch their children (v 13) Doubtless they had witnessed the healing power ot His touch and coveted It for their children All Christian parents want their children to come Into contact with Jesus Christ 2. The disciples' rebuke (v 13) They thought rhe children were too Insignificant to be allowed to interfere with Jesus work, therefore they rebuked the mothers for bringing them to Hint 3. Jesus reply (v. 14 He declared that the kingdom belongs to the children, therefore the children have a right in the presence of the king. 4. Jesus blesses the little children (v. 16,. He took them up m His arriis and blessed them. Christianity is peculiar iy 'favorable toward children. Only where Christ is known is the child duly recognized. 11l The Child Jesus (Luke 2:1-20) 1. His birth (vv 1-7) It took place at Bethlehem according to prediction (Micah 5:2). The Lord moved upon the emperor to en force the decree ol taxation lust In time to bring Mary to Bethlehem. His surroundings were ot the most humble sort. The eternal God con descended to be thus incorporated with humanity, to be bora in a man ger, becoming the poorest ot the poor tiiai none might be hindered in coming uii-o him. 2. Jesus’ birth announced (vv. 8-14). (1) By whom. An angel ot the Lord was the first to give the gospel message. (2) To whom His birth was an bounced to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks by night (3) The nature ot the message. It was good tidings of great joy It was good tidings because the darkness ot heathendom which rind so long covered tiie earth was beginning to van tsh; the casting out ol Satan. the prince ot the world, was about to take place. Liberty was soon to be proclaimed to those who were tn bond age. The way ot salvation was to be open to all. So glorious was this message that a multitude ot the heavenly host accompanied It with their «ona of praise. The Savior’s birth manifested the glory of God and expressed His good will to men. 3. The shepherds investigating (vv. 15, 16). They did not stop to argue or raise questions. though these tilings were no doubt passing strange to them. They went immediately to Bethlehem where they made investigation and found everything just as represented They had the privilege of first gazing upon the worlds Savior enc Lord nt glory. They returned with gratitude In their hearts, praising God for all these wonderful things which He had permitted them to behold. 4. The shepnerds witnessing (vv 17-20). They found things as announced. When they beheld the Lord ot glory they could not remain silent, therefore they went back praising God and making known what their eyes had beheld. Those who really hear the gospel can not be silent—they must tell It out to othera Faith a Coupling Faith is like the coupling which attaches the car to the engine. All the power and speed and momentum that belongs to the locomotive now become transmitted to the car. The coupling is-simply the medium of communicating that power. So faith Joins (he believer to Christ and makes him partaker of all that Christ haa and is, and does.—The Traveler’s Guide. Faith in Man Faith In man is a duty as well as faith in God; in fact, our general conduct every day in our Intercourse with out fellow-beings depends at every turn on our faith in our fellowbeinga When that faith ceases, society ceases with It, and a rule not of men with, moral natnrea but of tigers and foes in the guise of men commences with IL—John Stuart Blackle
