Referendum on U S World Court Plan Draws Mixed Reactions
Edward W. Pickard reviews the prize proposal for a practical plan to co operate with other nations to prevent war. The plan advocates joining the permanent court of international justice without league membership, expanding league work under moral force, and safeguarding the Monroe doctrine. Reactions span pro league supporters, mild reservationists, and irreconcilables, with political maneuvering and a Senate suspense over the issue. Greek refugee aid and Turkish tensions complicate regional stability as Kemal’s government faces revolt and a Greek army buildup in Thrace.

Lodge Defends Admin Policy Against Soviet Recognition
Senator Lodge opened the week in the upper house with a prepared speech defending the administration policy of refusing recognition to the Soviet government of Russia. He submitted a volume of evidence alleging Moscow seeks to cause disorder in the United States and shows the Communist International and the Soviet government are interwoven. Senator Borah disputed the proof, while Senator Brookhart criticized the administration’s reasoning for recognition as the most ridiculous. Insurgent Republicans in the Senate then won the fight to keep Cummins as chairman of the Interstate committee.

Supreme Court rules on guaranty law interest protection
The Nebraska Supreme Court held that accrued interest on time certificates of deposit in state banks is protected by the bank guaranty fund, matching general deposits. The ruling, from a Fillmore county case, rejects the attorney general’s view that interest should not be covered, noting the statute allows up to 5 percent and implies fund liability for such interest.
