Geneva, March 9 ® — An ex- treordinarily impressive manifesta- tion of the high place held by the United States in international life characteri today's public session of the council of the league of na- tions. Every member of the council, in approving a resolution that the com- mitt of experts who will shortly consider revision of the world court statutes, take up the question of the accession of the United States to the court, emphasized the impor- tance to the world of American en- trance into the tribunal. o After reading a prepared report and resolution, Sir Austen Chamber- | lain, British foreign secretary, called particular attention to the pleasant references to the ‘“doubtless oft- times perplexing and difficult” work of the council contained In the American note of February which reopened negotiations for American adhesion to the court. He voiced his conviction that every member of the council would observe this sympa- thatic declaration with satisfaction. Root Warmly Praised Elihu Root, noted American jurist, who prepared the formula which is felt to point the way for American membership, was the re- cipient of numerous tributes for his eminent contribution to tional life. Every chair in the council cham- bher was occupied and hundreds of persons stood in the doorways eag- erly craning in an effort to catch| all the speeches. The proceedings opened with Sir Austen reading a report indicating that the British government had re- ceived the note from Secretary of State Kellogg relating to American nceession and that othe¥ signatories of the court protocol had received | a similar note. He remarked that Kellogg's invitation related more particularly to the reply made to the note of 1926 by 24 governments growing out of a conference which was held at Geneva.
