...entirely free to divorce the World Court instantly at any time after the diplomatic marriage takes place. A novelty is the provision for direct, official communication between the U.S. State Department and the Secretariat of the League−an avenue of communication which does not exist at present. The form of protocol approved last week will now be submitted to the Council of the League, to the 52 states adherent to the World Court, and to the U.S. Senate−assuming, of course, that no previous hitch occurs. Last week in Washington such irreconcilable Anti-Courters as Senator William Edgar...
...Edward of Wales and on the leaders of Great Britain's three political parties. The secret had leaked out−after months of official concealment−that President William T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free State has been challenging the authority of the Crown Council as at present constituted. All ordinary powers of the King-Emperor were signed over by stricken George V (TIME, Dec. 17), to this Council, which consists of the Prime Minister, Lord High Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of York, Edward of Wales and Queen Mary, who has thus far presided.

Smiling pinkly behind his white whiskers, the Grand Admiral toped in response to each toast, declared at last to correspondents with perfect poise and pontifical gravity: "Despite the stark materialism of the present day, there still remains in Germany the germ of something that will get us out of the slough...
...bold! Be bold!" was a favorite Occidental maxim of the late, sainted Dr. Sun Yat-sen (TIME, March 23, 1925), founder of China's present Nationalist Government. Nearly always the tail end of the maxim (". . . but not too bold!") was docked in quotation by dynamic, heroic Sun Yatsen. Last week it seemed that the penchant for daring of Saint Sun was cropping out strongly in his son, Mr. Sun Fo, who is Chinese Minister of Railways and Reconstruction. Without batting either of his eyes, Mr. Sun coolly asked legislative approval for a 50-year program of public works...
