COURT IS PRAISED . AS PEAGE FACTOR Work of Permanent Tribunal of International Justice * s ‘Explained. The rendering of advisory opinions by the Permgnent Court of Interna- , tional ' Justice, which is under attack from those wng this Nation’s par- ticipation in the tribunal, was described today before the American Society of International Law as a larger contri- bution to international peace than that made by the court through its judg- ments, Addressing the soclety at its annual meeting, Prof. Manley O. Hudson, in- ternational law professor in the Harvard Law asserted that the advisory opinions. given by the court have had Bs subject matter questions which in the past led to grave crises between na- s, It is unfortunate, he said, that dis- ussions of advisory opinions have created confusion in this country. Prof. Hudson, frequent visitor to Geneva, where the court sits, expressed doubt that the world can continue its many magencies of international co-operation \ unless it s possible to settle legal ques- tions before such a tribunal. 16 Decisions in 8 Years. Pointing ous that in 8 years the court has rendered 16 advisory opinions, the speaker said that at least half the time ©of the court has been given to con- sideration of subject matter presented by requests for the opinions and that in his opinion the court’s contribution toward international peace has pro- ceeded largely out of that work. Several papers were presented before the soclety in discussion of the con- tributions of the Permanent Court of International Justice to the development of international law. Wendell Berge of the New York bar discussed con- flicts in Yespect to the jurisdiction of crime; Robert R. Wilson, professor of political science, Duke University, dis- cussed the interpretation of treaties, and nationality and domestic were u:he l“llb of t.ruu.lm:t by ;l‘:_h.

Scott Speaks. At the opening meeting of the so- ciety last evening the president, James Brown Scott, delivered an address on the subject “The Individual, the State, the International Community.” Mr. Scott endeavored to establish the thesis that the individual inevitably is the primal unit of an international com- munity; that the state is but a second- ary and intermediate unit, and that the international community, re] humanity in its relations witl dividuals and the union of states in its relations with the states, possesses “at one and the same time the right to im- ;meslee its will alike upon individual and state.” In support of his thesis, he contended that international morality “forms an integral part of international’ law and should control international relations.” He said that, furthermore, ‘“there such a thing as public opinion of the world to which individuals, nations and the international community respond.” President Cleveland’s famous pro- nouncement in 1893, in which he set forth the wrongs which the United States had committed against the gov- ernment of Hawail, was cited by Mr. Scott as supporting the contention that a civilized nation which asserts that its rights are greater than those of a weaker community violates the rights Timed right for the British Golf Championships!

Clevel - sage to Congress, “that notwithstanding our vast domain and well-nigh unlimit- ed power, we still are, and in the sense which President Cleveland would have us be, an enlightened nation.” Mr, Scott said that if law is to be looked upon as “an instrument of mo- rality conceived in the sense of right ,” then the law within the group should be developed under the control of morality. I. would follow, he said, that “the morality of the individuals within the group should be the morality of the groups of states forming the in- ternational community which, there- fore is and necessarily must be interna- tional morality in the sense that it is universal, applying to the individual, the nation and the international community. “This is perhaps a strange doctrine to those who believe that the separation of law from morality is one of the tri- umphs of the school of modern juris- rudence,” Mr. Scott said. ‘“Personally, think that no greater calimity could all us, whether as individuals or as members of the state or of the interna- tional community, than to withdraw law from morality and to refuse to con- sider morality as a controlling element in its development.” WOMEN 10 PRES MUSELM PROJET Club Resolution Authorizes Mrs. Chance to Appoint Special Committee.
