Ratification of the protocol pro- posing adherence of the United States to the world court was strong- 1y recommended by Senator King of Utah, democrat, in an address broad- cast Saturday night from radio station WRC, Washington. “The opportunity is before us” #aid Senator King, “to make an im- portant contribution to the lasting Deace of the world. Municipal law #nd its just enforcement make for domestic peace, and international Jaw and courts to Interpret it are essential to the peace and happiness ©f nations. “A world international court is projected, not as a vain, but as a yractical and ratfonal scheme; and we are invited and importuned to let 1he voice of America be heard in the councils of the nations. “The republics of Lurope are as near to us as those of Latin Amer- fca. The republican principle applied hemisphe: We have no ropean aggression upon ASKS DEPARTMENT by the states of the old world is as worthy of our approval and support as when applied to the states of the shores, either north or om east or west, no 1 or intentionj ances against any nt or people in the world.” The righteousness of Amer- fea and the strength of our free ple are adequate to the protection of our political independence and territorial integrity. There are none who will deny or challengs this po- sition. But we cannot be truly hap- pv by ourselves, we cannot be con- tent to hide the llght of America under 2 bushel Means Peace of Nations. “The peace of nations means the onoord of nations. The world court ccordingly Dbe set up by the ard. of nations. It must be a s of peace. It must be a proc- ess of free national acts by uncoerced mtates. It is not an easy thing to bring the nations of the world into agrecment The world court cannot be set up by any one nation; the constitution of this court must be the joint act of all nations, it must arise out of the agreement of nations. To have brought the nations Into agreement upom a project of this kind is of itself & warthy consummation. Practically all nations have agreed, but our own government hesitates to afix the na- tional seal to the protocol ot adher- ence to the constitution of the ‘Per- manent Court of International Jus- tice’ which has been established at The Hague and to the bench of which A& distinguished jurist from among our own countrymen has been :lected. To reftse to ratify this protocol will by many be regarded as a re- pudiation of the projects for peace @nd justice to which our country has been committed by those in authority, without regard to their partisan con- mections. The project for the Inter- mational Court of Justice is an Ameri- £an project.” I. C. C. ORDERS CUT IN FREIGHT RATES Classified Schedules Between Mich- , dgan and Central Territory Held Too High. Classified freight rates between points in the lower peninsula of Michigan on the one hand and Cen- tral Freight Association territory on the other are too high at present, the Interstate Commerce Commission de- clded Saturday. Railroads were ordered to make re- Oddie Believes New Post in Cabinet Would End Most Coal Troubles. The coal problem can be handled successfully only through a single federal agency, in the opinion of Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada, chairman of the Senate committee on mines and mining, and that agency should be a department of mines, with its head a member of the cab- inet. The Senate committee held a meet- ing Saturday to consider in a preliminary way the report of the United States Coal Commission, which recently was re- ferred to that committee by the Sen- ate. Following the meeting, Senator Oddie issued a statement In which be said: Need of One Agency. “T believe that the many and com- plex phases of the coal problem can only be successfully and effectively handled by a single federal agency charged with the responstbility of their supervision, and that such an agency should be provided by the creation of a department of min with a bureau therein exclusively d voted to coal. This would mean that all the necessary machinery for in- vestigation and research, with au- thority to act promptly in cases of emergency, would be under a single head, who would at all times have at his disposal all the facts and stati tics upon which to make recommenda.

In my opin fon such an arrangement would en- tirely do away with the frequently recurring periods of paralysis in the industry because of labor disputes and other obstacles which have pre- vented the smooth functioning of its many branches. The history of the coal mining industry in this country demonstrates very clearly to my mind the utter futility of attempting to insure an uninterrupted and satis- factory coal supply by depending upon ‘such scattered governmental agencies as now exist, Has Introduced BIlL “I have introduced a bill for the creation of a department of mines, which has been referred to this com- dnctions on or befors March 51, in | Mittee, and into which can be incor- acoordance with a standard of meas- urement _which the decision laid down. Through the southern half of the peninsula after that date, the de- cision sald, the class rates must be based on a distance scale In which the charge per mile is approximately the same as that applying in rates affecting southern Michigan. In other sections of the lower peninsula, the decision sald, the roads Juay make the reductions by adding from 6 to 10 cents per hundred pounds to the charges produced by working out the same distance scale for each polnt of shipment. —_— NAMING OF NEW JERSEY, In 1664 the Duke of York of Eng- land granted to Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret the land in the United States which is now known as New Jersey. The historical name {3 Neva Caesarla, after ths ancient name of the Island of Jersey, of which Carteret had been admin- istrator. The motto of the state, ndopted in October, 1776, 1s “Liberty and Prosperity.” QR porated the provisions necessary for adequately dealing with the problems of production, transportation, mar- keting, storage and consumption in connection with the coal mining in- dustry. “Another phase of the coal ques- tion which In my opinion deserves most careful consideration is that of pure fuel. In the metal mining in- dustry processes have been in use for many years which separate the pure metal from the ore and other foreign substances before the metal is mar- keted. The facilities to be provided by the government for fuel study and research will without doubt show that similar processes can be devel- oped and practically applied to coal, Efforts to effect economics in fuel combustion have been made by the larger users of coal in the industrial fleld, but the great army of house- hold consumers of coal would greatly benefit by the results to be obtained through a coal burean in a depart- ment of mines. “The citizens of our country have a right to expect as much assistance from the government in the matter | g | to Everybody To our valued and countless friends we ex- tend the compliments of the season, with the wish that Christmas may bring to one and all a generous measure of joy and happiness.
