  • Trading in grains was light, price fluctuations small, on the St. Louis Merchants Exchange during the Saturday session, January 23, 1915. The brokers, as they stood in small groups around the sample bins and the quotation boards, had opportunity to discuss the sensational venture on which one of their Exchange members had embarked. The newspapers that morning carried the story that the W. L. Green Commission Company, one of the oldest and most respected firms on the Exchange, had the day before shipped a cargo of foodstuffs on board the steamship Wilhelmina from New York, bound for Hamburg. This was reported to be the first food shipment from America to Germany since the war began, and would furnish a test case involving the British “blockade”.

  • Positivism, Functionalism, and International Law

  • If an event in the physical world contradicts all scientific forecasts, and thus challenges the assumptions on which the forecasts have been based, it is the natural reaction of scientific inquiry to reëxamine the foundations of the specific science and attempt to reconcile scientific findings and empirical facts. The social sciences do not react in the same way. They have an inveterate tendency to stick to their assumptions and to suffer constant defeat from experience rather than to change their assumptions inthe light of contradicting facts. This resistance to change is uppermost in the history of international law. All the schemes and devices by which great humanitarians and shrewd politicians endeavored to reorganize the relations between states on the basis of law, have not stood the trial of history.
