HAGUE MEET URGED FORCODIFYING LAW House Foreign Affairs Body Backs Tinkham Plea That Coolidge Issue Call. That '‘no greater contribution to world order can be made by the United States” is the indorsement of the House foreign affairs' committee to the Tinkham resolution requesting the President to call a third Hague conference for the codification of in- ternational law. This report has just become available from the public printer. The Tinkham resolution, as viewed by the House committee, calls for “an association of all free nations, equal and sovereign, dealing directly with one another in free and independent controversies by persuasion and the application of justice without the ex: ercise of force.” The committee dwells on the fact that the first Hague conference ‘‘was the first official peace conference ever called in time of 1, >ace and not at the end of war.” Continuing, it says that the result of this conference was the convention for the pacific settlement of international disputes, ‘the great- est single treaty or convention in the hl!torv of international rellilonl “This conference,” it adds ‘‘recog- nized the civilized peoples as forming a society of nations; stated their de- sire of extending the empire of law and of stgengthing the appteciation of international justice; commended a permanent court of arbitration ‘ac- cessible to all, in the midst of inde- pendent powers,’ and solemnly con- fessed its faith in the’ principles of equity and right, on whch are based the security of states and the welfare of peoples’s No greater step has'ever been taken toward permanent peace than this accession of all nations to the principles of justice expressed in the rules of law which should govern their foreign intercourse. It provided methods for the peacable settlement of international disputes wherever there existed a will to accomplish this result.” The second conference, points out the report, revised the three conven- Jtions as shown to be expedient in the light of experience, and drew up a number of additional conventions. These covered such subjects as the employment of force for the recovery of contract debts, the necessity for a declaration of war on the opening of hostilities, the laws and customs of war on land, ang the rights and duties of mneutral powers and rsons in case of war on land n.nd other similar subjects. Better Results ‘Hoped. The committee believes that the positive results of the third confer- ence will be more important than those of either of its predecessors. “It is in independent conference that the nations can best agree upon the law which is to be applied to the disputes which may arise between or among them, because they have agreed to the law in advance of the disputes to which it is applied. It is in independent conferences that the nations can best extend the domain of law to questions which have hitherto been considered as political, and by agreement give them the full force of the law. It is in periodical conference of the nations that the law can keep abreast of judicial conditions, so that between nations, as between individu- als, there may hereafter bg no inter- national wrong without an adequate international remedy. The hope of the future is through law devised by the nations in conference and admin- istered by appropriate agencies.” _ NAMED JUDGE ADVOCATE.
