Discussion of International World
court week, a national project being
fostered by the colleges and universi-
ties of the Uqited States, by a con-
ference of all the colleges in the state
of Michigan, to be held in Ann Arbor
next week, was advocated by the Stu-
dent council at its meeting last night
at the Union. Such a conference, if
the suggestion of the council is fol-
lowed, will be sponsored by the Stu-
dent Christian association.
International World court week will
culminate in a national conference,
composed of delegates from all parts
of the United States, to be held on
Dec. 11, at Princeton. The aim of
the movement is to mould student
opinion throughout the country ,on
the World court issue that will face
Congress when it opens next month,
reach a definiteagreement at the
meeting at Princeton and thus firing
a united influence to bear when the
question comes up for settlement.
Students have long influenced politi-
cal affairs in other countries, but no
concerted movement among universi-
ties has ever been made before on a
political issue in the United States.
Provided the Student Christian as-
sociation calls a state convention to
meet at Ann Arbor, the delegates will
meet with professors of the Univer-
sity, who will lead discussions of the
World court, international arbitration
and kindred subjects. Delegates from]
Michigan will carry the decision of
the local meeting to the larger con-
ference at Princeton. It is 'probable,
according to the council, that a straw
vote on the advisability of American!
iparticipation in the World court will
be taken on the campus.E
In addition to recommending action
on this subject to the Student Chris-
tian association, the council took up
the questions of the block "M" at the
Minnesota game and the conduct of
the Fall games.
The program of the underclass
games, as drawn up by Earl Blaser,
'27, and published by The Daily, was I
approved by the council. Councilmen
will be present at south .Ferry field
on Saturday morning to assist in
handling the games.
The traditional block "M" in the
west stands of Ferry field during the
Minnesota game will be arranged this
year by a junior honorary society, the
council announced last night.
A letter was sent by the council to
Charles W. Graham, thanking him for I
the cup which he donated as a prize
for the best decorated fraternity
house the Minnesota homecoming
week-end.

tonight as the Italian debt commis-

funding offer to be submitted from the S
American side.
The American commission, at a
meeting early in the day, decided to !
submit a funding proposal, and there
was indications that it carried theI

The offer was an outgrowth of half
a dozen joint conferences during;

capacity to pay were considered. It
was dispatched to Count Volti and hisI

The lecturers will set forth some
of the spiritual truths regarding evo-

manner, made possible by their ex-
