International law pertaining to war will have to be rebqilt, Dr. Hutchinson remarked. A world court, a "real court administering real law" will have to be established, a court to which the United States must naturally adhere, he declared. It is all in its beginning, and presents many problems for s.9lving, but ·is a step, ;t tremendous step forward, he declared. ..It is a treaty that rests for its support on moral ·J>ower, not on material sanctions." Mrs. F. E. Parry_ introduced Dr. Hutchinson as managing editor of the Christian Century, and an authority on China, with two books on that country to his credit. He also has been associated with Mr. Levinson. I "--------------.....lI 0 fa L eatue P rogram .

The meeting of · the teachers' club, which is usually held on the third Monday of the month, has been moved ahead to Thursday of next week. ~ i I By J. T. B. A fretful lake displaying its mood through the long windows of the Club Vista del Lago, and warm color within bringing out Spanish design of modern and old world interpretation, was the setting which attracted more than one hundred members of the Wilmette League of Women Voters and their guests to the luncheon meeting Mon~ day. These guests, seated at long tables bearing their vases of spring flowers, heard a program, first of music, then of lecture. They left the meeting with a clearer insight into one of the ~ost significant international steps of the day, the Multilateral treaty. As they took the last few sips from their coffee cups, the president of the league, Mrs. Shelby ~· Singleton, introduced one who was to bring several songs to them, Mrs. Charles W. Moody. In her voice, rich, vibrant, warm. she sang two numbers, "A Spring Song," and uThe Naughty Little Clock," and then, as an encore, a negro love song, "My Lady Chloe." Dr. Paul Hutchinson was the speaker, who gave his hearers a clear and sincerely earnest survey of a treaty which promises to be a large rung in the ladder of the evolution of humanity's desire to suppress war. ·'· To outlaw war is to strike at its verv roots as has never been struck before" and is a tremendous step forward in the throwing off of its age-old yoke, which, until now, ever has been a nation's lawful resort," Dr. Hutchinson declared. "It is for this striking at the foundation of its legality that the Kellogg treaty is outstanding. It was conceived to make war unlawful, an entirely new method of attack," the speaker said. Through the ages, in the ever-swelling urge coursing through the people of a nation to devise some means of stopping its horrors, its devastations, the tendency has been to encircle it with laws governing its conduct, to limit its course, to hem it in, but always to reserve it as a method of settling international difficulties. The idea of making war illegal, to outlaw it, the speaker pointed out, had its birth in the mind of Salmon 0. Levinson of Chicago, an attorney, who nine or ten years ago first used the term to ··outlaw" war, in a magazine artic1e. He has been its creator and has developed it un.til the present treaty came into being. · The influence of this new idea, the speaker announced, has so spread, that, at the present time, sixty-two of the sixty-four self-governing nations of the world have indicated their intention of ratifying the treaty which is a nation.'s pledge to .. no matter whatever the cause, or whatever the origin, to resort to none but a pacific method" of settling its problem. This idea has come after centuries of trying to limit war, a.s Dr. Hutchinson pointed out, by rules. He traced the development of the Red Cross and the making of international law as an effort to aid in war's suppression, and stated how, at the time of a crisis, ·'conventions are futile when a nation battles for its life" and would always be as long as it was legal tor a na- · tion to go to war. The speaker touched upon the treaty in general and more specifically upon the effect the ratification of the treaty would have on... the;., 4lr~g~ .policy of the · United· ·St'M~~; 1- lilft:dtfte · ~ffett · it'· Vote The Peoples Party Ticket STRAIGHT TUESDAY, APRIL 16 A Cross in the Circle Will Do It OUR REWARD HERE'S no greater satisfaction than that which comes from doing a job well.
