ORDEAL BY GLORY?James Marshall?McBride ($2). Had small-town John Hoyer married sex-appealing Agnes Paine instead of sweet, sympathetic Mary Borchard, he might never have become Governor. At his peak, however, when the architecture of his career has been executed to a nicety, he crumbles at a stroke of apoplexy...
...resolution of the American Arbitration Crusade, stating the purpose of the movement, and prepared with the assistance of Professor E. M. Borchard of the Yale Law School, seeks the outlawry of war by the establishment of arbitration as a permanent means of settlement of international dispute.

I think it would be robbed of fully half of its capacity for service if it were deprived of this power. I see no objection to President Coolidge's suggestion that the United States state that it will not be bound by advisory opinions. That would be true anyway. No state is bound. They are advisory. But I hope the Senate will...
