ow l-t w-I --z international law as the actual rule of conduct among governments, and, by the main- tenance of justice and a scrupulous respect for all treaty obligations in the dealings of organized peoples with one another, was proposed by President Wilson, who felt he was carrying out the idea of the American people by insisting upon incorporating in the peace treaty of Versailles, provisions for a League of Nations, Wilsonls proposition was repudiated, however, by his antagonists in this country. There was constant bombardment here against the idea of entangling alliances. In the spring of this year, nevertheless, the tenth birthday anniversary of the League of Nations was celebrated all over the world, For ten years the League has been active in accomplishing two thingseintetnational peace and international co-operation. During the hrst hve years of the Leaguels existance, its machinery has checked at least two wars between European countries; the serious dispute between Sweden and Finland as to the ownership of the Aland Islands1 and the troublesome question of the division of Upper Silesia between Germany and Poland. Then, too, it has to its credit the establish- ment of an international labor organization whose chief aims are to secure better work- ing conditions and to stabilize employment throughout the industrial world. Probably the greatest accomplishment of the League thus far is the Permanent Court of International Justice. This World Court represents a great improvement over the old Hague Tribunal, in that it has fifteen international lawyers who serve as judges for nine-yenr terms. The old Hague Tribunal was merely :1 panel of internationally known men, from which arbitrators might be chosen. The World Court is a permanent organization which meets annually and is always ready to decide conflicts on the basis of accepted international law. The United States has promised to join the court, provided that she be permitted to enter with four special reservations. The four reservations have been accepted by the members of the Court, and now it lies with the Senate of our government to keep our promise and to become a member of the World Court. Fifty-four nations are included in the membership of the League of Nations, but the original ideal of the establishment of the League has not been reached for there are a few countries today that are not members of the organization. The United States is foremost on the list of non-members. America, nevertheless, cannot remain forever isolated from the League of Nations. This is the day of world economic independence, world advertising and world markets. America is the creditor nation of the world; all the world looks to it for leadership. Now is the time to exercise that desire for justice which has always characterized American policy. There is no better opportunity to show our faith in and love of peace than by co-operuting with the League of Nations CARL HOCKMUTH 35 oo

3-1-1 1-0-4 y-r s-l gamer Glass gilktory ELLO Hartwell! Station J-U-NvI-O-R-S is again on the air. A year has passed since we last broadcasted-a great year-full of work, play, and excitement. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Bartlett, many activities have taken place for us juniors this year. We gave an interesting show, featuring a singing and dancing gypsy chorus, which proved very successful. The juniors who took part in this pro- duction were: Margaret Bunner, Mary Jane Ellis, Katherine Graf, Ethel Kiefer, Eloise Lucius, Martha Sawtelle, Clara Woods, Patricia Parrish, Grace Galey, Pluma Long, Chester Hogue, Roger Pellens, William Proctor, and Howard Cloke. We do not, however, believe in all play and no work. Among the upper claSSmen who received scholarship cards for their splendid half year's work were the juniors: Patricia Parrish, Katherine Graf, Eloise Lucius, Grace Guley, Plums Long, Chester Hague, George Alcoke, and Joe Curliss. Then, too, the juniors had two debates with the seniors, our teams having been composed of Patricia Parrish, George Alcoke, Lyle Jenkins, Pluma Long, Katherine Graf, Chester Hague, and Roger Pellens. Of course, there were the annual athletic events in which we were duly repre- sented. Hartwell was brought to victory in the Valley Track Meet partly through the efforts of Patricia Parrish, Joe Norton, Richard Spegal, William Procter, Chester Hague, Lyle Jenkins and George Alcoke. At the Oxford Track Meet, several of our boys re- ceived medals for their victorious attempts. There are others who have taken an active part in their classls activities not classified in the above groups. Red XVest has blazed his way to fame as one of the cheer-leaders for Hartwell High, Ray Handley, Marvin Rouff, Robert Rolf, Melvin Weiss, Joe Curliss, Norman Seilkop, and Walter Shanzle have all helped to make their class as peppy as any that ever held sway at Hartwell. Now it it time to sign off. This is station J-U-N-I-O-R-S signing off until next September when we shall tread the halls of Hartwell High as illustrious Seniors. Tune in then, folks! We can assure you a clear reception and an excellent program. 37
