William Mitchell is now before Findings of the court-martial were approved largely as a mat- ter of form by the war department board of review.

Why the Hurry With the World Court? (Chicago Tribune) The cpponents of the world court in the senate learn that the supporters are seeking to apply clos- ure to thé debate, cut it off, and get a vote. Tne court lines jare still intact, and it is understood that the needed two-thirds vote ‘is available any time it can be taken. The opposition is fighting for time. It is pro- longing the debate and delaying the vote until the tax bill bas been brought in. Then the world court must go over for the time. Court advocates say this is unfair and that the majority which wants to vote to join shou!d have that opportunity and the business should the disposed of. The minority is rebuked as an obstruction to orderly conduct, Senator Borah, opposed to the court, said: “We are going into a court for all time. We are adher- ing to a tribunal which is proposed to: be perma- nent. Through all the sweep of years we are to be there.” - That being the case, what is the hurry? If the United States has any interests in this court none are being endangered by delay. If it were wise it would not be the less wise for being held for fur- ther thought. Time is not running against the wel- fare of the United States. In this case it will run for it. i President Coclidge’s decision, ‘if it sustains the verdict, may end Col. Mitchell's army career and plunge him into political activity. He can in such that may bring him- . large fees on the lecture program or through the , @m the other hand a modification of the sentence can be made which will make Col. Mitchell still Sny event President Coolidge can be depended take @ decision that will be beneficial to There is.no emergency. We have no disputes with other nations which shou:d be hurried to arbi- tration before they get to war. We do not know of a case which properly awaits the determination of the United States to join the court. The senate is restless to get this thing decided and done with. The promotion financed ‘by Mr. Bok has done its work, ard senators who privately wish the question had never been raised feel that they ‘can vote for it with better countenance now than they will be able to do Iater, No one jhas financed popular promotion against the Court, hut popular opposition is growing, and that is complicating the situation in the senate, where some proponents of the court hope it will be Made as easy as possihie for them to vote for it and forget it. . It there were a deep’ conviction in the two-thirds vote which the court might get if it were voted on tomorrow there probably would be willingness to allow the oppositian: to tatk unimpeded even to an empty chamber. At least closufe would not be ap- plied until patience had been had!y worn and there Was reason to believe the whole country would sup- port it, “The majority obtained, whether of rel tant or willing votes, does not fecl itself on firm footing’ in the clear. ; : It debate and delay are weakening the support | Spon of the court and if closure is needed to save it, then | and proposition ‘hag nother argument againet tt. | ition 7 . ~ .URURSDAY, JANUARY. 21/'1926 she fifth of} they reconcile themselves to the ea quiet ‘but rigid routine of rest and systematically take on the way to recovery.
