WORLD'S COURT PLAN OUTLINED BY THE COUNCIL Opinion on New Body Is Re- served by League of Nations Council in London SEEK AN AGREEMENT Failure to Adopt Satisfactory Plan to All Nations Could Be Disastrous, Stated London, Sept. 15.—The headquar- ters of the league of nations has made public the text of the project for a permanent court of international justice, as adopted by the Hague com- mittee of jurists of which Elihu Root was a member, together with a let- ter from the council of the league to all governments which have entered the league of nations. The council of the league, in its letter to the governments Says: “The council does not propose to express any opinion on the merits of the scheme until they had a full op- portunity of considering it.” It states, however, that the project was prepared by a most competent tribunal, representing widely differ- ent national points of view. It adds: “The council would regard an irrec- oncilable difference of opinion on the merits of the scheme as an in- ternational misfortune of the gravest kind. It would mean that the league was probably compelled to admit its incapacity to carry out one of the most important provisions of the task which it was invited to perform. The failure would be great and probably irreparable; for, if agreement proves impossible under circumstances ap- parently so favorable, it is h to see how and when the task of secur: ing it would be successfully resumed.”, Fifteen Members in Court The court is to consist of 15 mem- bers; 11 judges and four deputy judges. The number of judges and deputy judges may be hereafter in- creased by the assembly, upon the proposal of the council of the league of nations, to a total of 15 judges and six deputy judges. , ‘The manner of choosing the judges by the different national groups is provided. The members of the court. are elected for nine years. The president and the vice president of the court serve for three years. The seat of the court is established at the Hague; a session shall be called Wheneyer necessary by the president of the court, whd must reside at the Hague. The full court of 11 judges shall sit, but if 11 aretnot available nine judges shall suffice to consti- tute the court. Three judges sit in chambers annually to hear and de- termine summary procedure. Sul- aries of the court are fixed and ex- penses borne by the league of nations. Article 31 gives the court jurisdic- tion over suits between states. The court is open by right to states be- longing to the league. Other states may have access to it under condi- tions provided by the league. Provision of Plan Article 33 provides that when a dis- pute has arisen between states, and it has been found impossible to settle it by diplomatic means, and no agree- ment has been made to choose an- other jurisdiction, the party com- plaining may bring the case before the court. The court shall, first of all, decide whether the preceding con- ditions have been complied with; if so it shall hear and determine the dispute according to the terms and within the limits of the next article. The questions which the court is competent to determine, between members of the league, are given as follows; The interpretation of a treaty. Any question of international law, The existence of any fact which, if established, would constitute a breach of an international obligation. The nature or extent of reparation ; o be made for the breach of an in- ternational obligation. The interpretation of a sentence passed by the court. + Suggest Temporary Remedy The court also shall take cogni- zance of all disputes of any kind which may be submitted to it by a general or particular convention be- tween the parties. The court in considering questions applies to international conventions, international customs, general prin- ciples of law recognized by lized nations, and decisions and teachings of the most highly qualified publicists of various nations. A state desiring to have recourse to the court makes application to the registrar, who notifies the court and the members of the league. If the dispute concerns an act which is im- irt has power to sug- the rights of the parties. The hear- ings in court shall be public, and the decisions of the court shall be by ma- jority of the judges present at the hearing. In case of a tie the presi- dent casts the deciding vote. The of- ficial language of the court is French, but another language may be au- thorized at the request of parties tu a case. The draft also provides extended provision for the recording, revision of judgment, etc. *"GOOD HOME, IF YOU | DON’T HAVE TO STAY Coenen % Middlebourne, W.
