The article presents several comments on the current world politics. In occupying the island of Hainan in China, Japan has shown a contemptuous disregard for French and British warnings of military retaliation. The resignation of the U.S. Supreme Court Judge, Louis Dembitz Brandeis, will be mourned by everyone who realizes that the Supreme Court is in the last analysis only the sum of its members. The U.S. senate has also been inquiring into the qualifications of T.R. Amlie for membership on the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission, and with all the zeal that was so conspicuously lacking in its consideration of Supreme Court judge Floyd H. Roberts.
