Talk on Problems of World Law Given by Professor Northrop By Sue Lichty International law should be j based upon the underlying prin- ! clples of each culture instead of j only the Western philosophy as It ■ ia today. F.S.C. Northrop, professor of philosophy and law at Yale uni versity, suggested that in his talk "East and West and Problems of World Law” Tuesday. "We are living in a world of pluralistic sovereignties and dif ferent cultures,” he said. "We must base international law on this pluralism. Laws always break down if they do not correspond to the living habits and beliefs of the people.” He believes that the present in ternational law is not effective. Northrop said that a new interna tional charter, telling principles each culture is based upon, should be written. “It would outlaw any movement by any country which tried to im pose its culture on any other coun try," he said. People of Asia arc insisting upon the right to build their institutions in thier own way. L.N. Becoming Propaganda Platform “The United Nations is tending more and more to be a propaganda platform,” Northrop said. "It just isn’t the atmosphere of a legal in stitution." Since we are living in an atomic age, he said, we must press every angle possible for peace. A war may very well mean the end of mankind. "The whole world watched what happened at San Francisco with great hopes,” he said. “I think none of us were prepared for the great dissolusionment that follow ed the signing of the U.N. docu ment." Northrop said that this docu ment did not represent an agree ment at all. Instead, it turned out to be a series of abstract words which had different meanings to representatives of each culture. India Getting Western Law "Nehru is introducing into In dia a Western theory of law which is really ours,” he said. "He doesn’t really have warm roots of living law for the masses.” Northrop sees this as the reason for a lack of enthusiasm in India.

That country has leaders, he said, who meet situations through the con cepts of the Koran. The masses un derstand these concepts when ap plied to Western types of econ omics. "Every Asiatic country wants to lift the standard of living of the masses," he said. "However, family loyalty takes precedent over the national loyalty."
