& THE EVRESING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. €. TURSDAY. SEPTEMBER %5 1 * EAUEDSTUSSES 0PN, ALDHL American World Court View | Taken Up—Costa Rica Re- turns to Fold. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 25.—Alcoholism, opium smoking, adhesion of the United States to the World Court of Interna- tional Justice and the return of Costa Rica to the League all had attention yes- terday from delegates to the Assembly of the League of Nations. The aebate on alcoholism resulted in unanimous adoption of a resolution for an investigation into the abuse of alco- hol as a beverage. The inquiry will be limited to ardent spirits. Border bootlegging of hard liquor was hit by the resolution, which recognized that it was the business of a government to stop contraband trade that is carried on in violation of treaties. ‘The Assembly also approved the Brit- ish proposal to send a cogimisison of three experts to the Far East to investi- gate opium smoking and opium smug- gling. Wang Chin-Shi, Chinese dele- gate, pledged China’s Whole-hearted co- operation in the effort to crush the opium evil. The> question of United States adher- ence to the World Court came up when Fridtjof Nansen, famous Norwegian ex- plorer, admonished the Assembly that the League should not postpone the clarification of the council’s right to ask advisory opinions from the court. The Assembly adopted a resolution ask- ing the council to study this question. United States interest in this point Hes in the fact that it would not adhere to the court unless it had the right to veto requests for an opinion on any question relating to the United States or its interests. Costa Ri return was s 's announced intention to ched into a tribute to the Argentire. Delegates in congratulating the Central American Republic, ex- pressed hopes that the big South Amer- ican country would also come back.
