‘ DUAL NATIONALITY ISSUE DISCUSSED Society of International Law Takes Up Troublesome Question. Taking up the broad question of nationality by birth and by naturali zation, the American oclety of Inter- national Law, meeting today at the New Willard Hotel, heard a proposal that dual nationality cases involving the United States and European countries should be settled by statutes and conventions to augment the present laws and heard the theory of indelible single nationality attacked by speakers who contended that citizenship does not necessarily lie where the interests of an individual are established. At the same time the theory of the United States that East Indians are inadmissable to this coun ry was assailed by Taraknath Das, last Indian attorney. ntire membership of the so- be received by President the White House at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. Members will introduced to the President by arles Bvans Hughes, former Secr tary of State and president of the so- v, who is presiding at all the. ses sions of the organization. Mr. Hughes opened the three-day meeting of the society at the Willard last night with in address, in which he declared that codification and clarification of inter national law is the best guaranty of peace between nations of the worid Dual Nationali Richard W. ¥ Troublesome. Flournoy, ir., assistant to the solicitor for the State Depart ment, told the soclety today that whereas a few, if any, conflicting claims of citizenship arise between the United States and Latin American countries, the “‘dual nationality cases law and s amenable to the military law of France Referring to the pan-American con- vention at Lima, Peru, to draft a code at pan-American laws with re- spect to paturalization, Mr. Flour- noy, quoted from the draft of the convention and =ald, it would be a practical absurdity to have one law govern the status of a person born in Burope of American parents, while an entirely different law gov- erns the status of a child born in Latin America of American parents. The principle of irdelible citizenship was assailed by F. R. Coudert. who sald a man must not necessarily re nounce his alleglance to one country and maintain a home and a legal status in another. Mr. Das pleaded for admission and full naturalization of East Indians to the United States. An executive meeting of the council of the society this afternoon will be followed by presentation of members at the White House at 4:30 p.m., while addresses on limitation of initiation of military action and upon the Initia- tion of war will be made at another meeting tonight at the New Willard Hotel by David Jayne Hill and Thom- as Raeburn White, respectively Officers will be elected tomorrow morning and the meeting of the socie ty will close with the annual banquet tomorrow night to be broadcast by WRC.

Clarification and codification of in ternational law accomplished through a_great conference of representatives of all nations of the earth is the only means by which world peace can be ultimately effected, Charles FEvans Hughes, former 8ecre! of State, told members of the soclety at the opening meeting at the New Willard last night. Mr. Hughes is president of the society. The United States must’ lead way toward such a conference, he erted, reiterating his hope that the appropriate support of the Per- the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, manent Court of International Justice by the Government of the United States will not be delayed much longer."” Mr. Hughes said it was not his pur- pose to restate the reasons why he believed the United States should sup- port the permanent Court, “but sim ply to emphasize the incalculable ad- vantage of having a tribunal to aid in the development of international law; to reinforce the law-ablding sentiment through recourse to the exercise of its jurisdiction and acceptance of its de- cisions,” adding that “‘not improbably the nations may thus be led to avail themselves more readily of the neces- sary international legislative proc- esses to prefect the law and to sat- isfy enlarged conceptions of interna- tional justice.” Sees Need of Patience. “Not improbably the nations thus be led to avail themselves more readily of the necessary international legislative processes o perfect the law and to satisfy enlarged concep- tions of international justice. Every suggestion intended to be helpful should be accepted and dealt with, no matter what trying situ tions and trials of patience may re- sult, Mr. Hughes insisted, declaring that “we must not fall to remember that no pre can be had unless we have an atmosphere of endeavor and a disposition which lifts up above captionsness.’ “It is in this spirit,” he added that “we consider the development of in- ternational law, not as an exclus or all-sufficient remed important means of « evils that afflict us.” He cited the relations of the United states and Canadu as an excellent ex- ample of peace between nations, and saw in them instrumentalities for “directing the thought of nations to the facilities of accord, and especially to the obligations of law, not im- posed, but expressed In principles and rules accepted by voluntary actions.” Ultimately, h esald, the best guar- antee of the indepeadnece of small states would be found in the devel- opment of the law Through world-wide development of the law,” Mr. Hughes continued, “we may hope to make measurable prog ress to that degree of civilization which will prosper the efforts of con cl'iation in the area outside the law.

He cited the experience of the na. tions which participated in the Wash- ington disarmament conference, and added that this Nation's development of international law at the pan-Amert con conferences should be of aid to the greater movement. Favored by United States. “We cannot be content until ap. propriate plans have been made to re- state, amend and enlarge the univer sal law,” the speaker contended, and this, as'1 have said, should be ac plished through conferences. * It may be added that the Government of the United States has always wel comed such conferences, as our atti tude toward the conferences at The Hague abundantly shows. It should be apparent that the controversy over the covenant of the League of Na tions involved no hostility to interna tional conferences * * * but to the assumption of certain obligations in the covenant of the league to which | preponderant opinion here was op posed.” A detailed exposition of the develop- | ment and provisions of the 30 draft | treaties for the codification of Ameri can international law proposed by the Institute of International Law for dis. | cussion at the forthcoming Interna tional Congress of Jurists at Rio de Janeiro some time this year, was made by James Brown Scott, vice KELLOGG IS GIVEN JOFRE ROW REPORT Commissioners Forward Police- man’s Story of Fight With At- tache Without Comment.

To make our readiness to admit to citizenship worthy aliens who have established themselves in our country subserviant to the wishes of other governments would, while avoiding the international complications which frequently result when naturalized citizens return to th States, be of doubtful soundness from the national point of view he added. “Such a policy would, it is believed, inevitably result in greater restrictions on im migration from countries declining accord naturalization full recognition.” Naturalization conventions have been concluded by the United States with 17 foreign nations, Mr. Hack- worth said, although it has not been possible to negotiate naturalization conventions with rance, Gres D Italy and Turkey France, he said, does not recognize the naturalization of her natio 8 broad unless con- sent of the government to throw off French nationality has been obtained, while if the national is of age for military service, the consent is rarely, if ever, given.
