One ticket will en able the holder to see one or more performances of the play. The production is sponsored by Pi Delta Phi, French honorary or ganization. Kelsen Believes United Nations Ultimate Failure By JEANETTE SCOTT The United Nations is a failure. That's the opinion of Dr. Hans Kelsen, professor of political sci ence at the University cf Calif ornia, as expressed Thursday night at a public lecture in Fenton Hall. “This is evident,” Dr. Kelsen commented,” since the allies are split into two hostile camps by the cold war. The problem of peace can be solved only by international law.” The political scientist interpre ted international law as being in ternational courts which would hand (Town compulsory decisions. “Such courts,” Kelsen explained, “would be established by inter national agreement and would bind member nations only with an obli gation to submit all disputes to the court and abide by all decis ions made by the court. “Nations must realize that they would have nothing to lose, for the court could have no other power than to apply existing international law." I)r. Kelson fools that the United Nations lias become ineffectual in allowing the expulsion of members, the use of the veto power to the five g r e a t powers, and in its method of settling international disputes. •‘There would be no chance for . uch fallacies in an international ourt," he said. "The effectiveness of the court would be exerted by moral, not physical, force, and a nation wants to appear moral in liie eyes of the world. "Above all, the court's judges would not represent political par ties. They would merely be the world's best administrators of justice." Kelson admitted that a great many difficulties must be over come to get universal approval of uch a plan, but he is corteVu there will be no peace until such a plan is enacted. “International courts are the germ cell of international peace,” the Cal lecturer asserted. "We must fight to convince the public of this.” Graduate School Announces Five New Fellowships Dean Eldon Johnson of the Uni versity Graduate School announced five new Carnegie Social Science fellows last week.
