Wt? WEDNESDAY. Al'Gl'ST 7, 1931 A Simple Plan Speaking before th e London

meeting of the American Bas As- sociation. Attorney Gciieral Brow- nell of the United States suggested a new plan for keeping the world out of war----judicial tribunals vvliiclt would have compulsory jurisdiction over international disputes Instead of going to war or threatening war, nations would merely present their grievances and claims to a world court which would be csialilislicd on much the same palterii as the litter- national (lourt at the llaguc: but, of course, it would have much greater powers. The court's judgment would be final.

Mr. Brow iiell iiclicvcs that some such plan will have to be adopted in the near future if universal chaos or destruction is to be avoided: and he points out that ”it took a long time to reach the goal in oui' private personal affairs. and there was a period of transition in which it was difficult to get people to agree to a rule of law.” Once the world recog- nizes the necessity of law in inter- national affairs. he believes. it will be accepted as a matter of course.

It is a good idea. of course. But there are two things against it. or at least against its chances of get- ting accepted. One is that the right to make war has always been look- ed upon as a "sovereign" right: and it is going to be very difficult to remove it from the politics of any nation. The renunciation of war as a national policy has never been taken seriously. although it was one of the ideals behind the establish- ment of both the League of Nations and the UN. The other thing against it is that it is much too simple. it has been well said that people don't like complex solutions andithcy won't accept simple ones.

British investments

A recent statement by the British Government to the effect that erst- while colonial areas which are grant- ed independence are thcnceforth ”on their own" financially must be con- sidered in conjunction with a rcpoi't from the Comnvonvvcaltli Relations Office.

This report reveals that in the 193.'l-36 period the Rritish Govern- ment invested an average of 31.360 million in the various dependenci-;-s and newly independent nations. Meanwhile. the borrowing limit of the Colonial llcvclopmcnl (iorpora- tion has been increased from 50 million pounds to 130 million These funds will be made available to aid in their economic development-

The report a l s o reveals that, whatever the t'aiiadi;iii situation may be w i tli rcspcct to 1'nitcd

Stat:-s' capital invcstmcnt. the (Willi- monvvcallh situation in general is marked by British financial interest- From lfilt-l to the pivcsciit time 70 per cent of the capital invested ill the Conimonvveallli came from the Ifnitcd lv'ingdom- tliily about 13 per cent came from the I'nitcd States. In addition to all this financial aid. the United Kingdom is providing large amounts of technical aid to the various areas which are still dependent on outside hclp.

A Severe Handicap

The dispdsition of the civil Rights Bill by the United States Senate will he a disappointment to anyone who hates to see American boasts of free- dom rldiculed by Soviet propagand- Ists among the "uncommitted" pm- ples of the world. The bill is not altogether a failure. since it does confirm by legal phraseology the right of the Negro tocast his vote; and there is reason to believe that It may. If only by placing emphasis on the rights of citizens. help the NQN population to something bet- -ihr than that to which it has been itgemnouied.

For President Eisenhower it means a loss of prestige and, indeed, a rebuff by the majority of his Re- publican "supporters" in the Senate. many of whom. it appears, voted the way they did in order to get the legislation out of the way for what they consider more Important business. Yet. one cannot resist the suggestion that much of the blame for the unsatisfactory result of the prolonged debate must be laid to the President's lack of firmness in deal- ing with the issue. Following his usual custom. he temporized with the dissidents to such a degree that they did not hesitate to ignore his counsel. Indeed. there is some ground for the suspicion that his interest in the bill was more academic than practical. In any event, the bill as it now stands is a severe handicap to l'nited States leadership in free world affairs.
