French Honors to American Jurist.

The University of Paris has just awarded a prize to the legal treatise of Lindell T. Bates, written in French, on the conflict of American treaties and state laws. This is the first time in years that a foreigner has received this scholastic honor from France. It is a recognition that when the era of treaty revision begins after the war foreign countries will look toward this work as an authoritative source of information on American treaty law. It will take rank in foreign international law circles with a celebrated one written some years ago by a Rumanian on the Danube River Commission. The Harvard Law Review says of Mr. Bate's thesis: "Little that has been written regarding the borderland between international and constitutional law can compare with this pamphlet in clearness or in interest."
