Who said we are to have a “white Christmas?* But a lot, weatherly speaking, can happen in five days. Artists now claim they can read character by the hats folk wear. Sounds like an ad for the Danbury | hat manufacturers. It is being noticed that automo- biles are being parked out West Main street to the very entrance of the park. Probably some of the car owners have to walk farther than they drive. Unfortunately the deadly grade crossing is not confincd to those where the railroads pass the high- ways. One railroad president makes the point that more people are be- | ing killed “where the railroads ain't | than where they are.” Without 100k- ing up the statistics we think he is correct. 1t is now fairly well established that the only man who can beat G.

Senators Moses and McLean are leaders in endeavoring to interpret such influcnce. But whatever takes place in debate it will not the first time that the Monroe Doctrine has been mentioned in have been connection with the forcign relations of Europcan and Latin-American nations. Once, when the Council of the League of Nations was requested by sta Rica for “an express and au- iorized declaration with regard to actual scope and correct inter- pretation” of the Monroe Doctrine, the Council politely declined to give an opinion on this ticklish subjec Of course, as nations go, Costa Rica may not be important; but even an unimportant Central American up an important of international policy— and in this case it was done. Costa Rica made her request fol- lowing invitation of the Council to re-enter the League. Costa Rica ex- presscd the opinion that Article of the Covenant of the Leugue ex- tended the international legal scoy of the Monroe Doctrine. The doc- trine, said spokesmen for the little nation, had “since been converted, for all the nations signatory to the treaty of Versailles, into a constitu- ent part of American public law re- public can bring principle This raises the interesting ques- tion, assuming the League has really expanded the scope of Doctrine, as to who is charged with its interpretation—the United States or the League of Nations?
