"Nor Any Drop to Drink" Isn't there an old saying about like thia: 11 th Veil rune- week must have Horse and the World Court Senator Wayne Mors heads a list of 14 enators who sponsor an amendment . to , tha Connelly bill to implement the, charter of tha -United Nations which would authorize the presi dent to declare tha adherence f of the United States to the world eourt This measure carriei out - the well-known philosophy of Senator Morse who has strongly supported an inter national code of law and a court- to , control the relations, of nations. He made this clear during his senatorial campaign of 1944. It is therefore the .carrying out of his pledges, that fcjf presents this amendment to make the United States an active participant in a world court. Morse's philosophy is sound. One great defect of the league of nations and of the present charter is that it relies too much on negotia tion and compromise and too little on law and Its interpretation by a judicial body. Prevention of war remains largely a matter of diplomacy and too little a matter of use of civil procedures - tal and clouds and rain . are J what th people auch as a court of justice.

For years presidents, both republican and democratic, urged our affiliation with the for mer world court, . but the senate refused to pass ' the necessary resolution.

And If diplomacy can't some day be brought to that level of- personal contact,1 the future indeed appears dark. Suppose it had been Konoye instead of Kurusu who flew to the United States just before Pearl Harbor. Konoye couldn't have pleaded ignorance of the planned attack. The eyes of Japan might have been on his visit, rather than on a desperate preparation tq set, , the world still more aflame. There already are too many "if s" in this - World War II business, and this doesn't purport to raise another. But it, appears;. high time that the discarding of isolation in regard to coun tries also should be carried on to the leaders who run them. There has been altogether too much errand-boy policy in top-flight diplomacy. If the master of the Kremlin, the lord of 110 Downing and the rornmdnder-in-chief on Penn sylvania avenue and theif ilk all over th world cart meet to fight the fire while th house burns, they needn't be to .austere and ' above-it-all to get together personally to stamp out av smouldering match before they hear th cries of the dying. .

A few weeks go in New .York, strike-bound newspapers wer swamped with telephone calls to ask what was happening to the favorite characters of th drawing boards. And in Seattle this week, on woman-reader called to insist that there be read to her by phone the continuity she'd missed when a tie-up prevented publication. . Th number of comic strip 'available runs well into th hundreds, and no newspaper can use all of them. Some are unobtainable because territorial rights ar bought up. The choice must be based on availability and en the tenor of th communities . in which they circulate. Such choke is becoming more and more Im portant, as shown by tremendous reader interest, . and cannot be treated lightly. That comics wield influence on young America is unques tioned. , i j " , It ia to be hoped that artists accept their growing responsibility as a challenge for de cency and proper impression as well as for reader interest! and that newspapers tak re newed cognisance of their import.
