Please discontinue the subscription to TIME now addressed to Mr. & Mrs. C. F. Clark, 1935 Burlingame Ave., Detroit, Mich, upon its expiration this month.

Senator Gould is the only Republican in the 69th Congress whose seat...
Wilson Prize. The 1926 Woodrow Wilson Foundation medal and prize of $25,000 were awarded last week to 81-year-old Republican jurist-statesman Elihu Root for his services toward the creation of the World Court.* Why does Mr. Root deserve the prize, any more than the eleven other international jurists with whom he drew up in 1920 the World Court Protocol? He suggested how the judges of the World Court could be amicably selected among the nations. That problem had everyone well stumped. Mr. Root's idea: Let the international mechanism already functioning smoothly to select the jurists...
