to the work ofthe Court exactly as is the
case with Justices of the Supreme Court
of the United States.

“In due course the framework of such a
Court was drawn and emhodied in a
treaty proposed for the signature of mem-
bers of the League. of Nations and of
States mentioned in the annéx to the
Covenant. The Treaty (known as the
Treaty of December 16, 1920), has been
signed by some 48 nations, The United
States though not a member of the
League, is eligible to sign because we are
mentioned in the Annex. |

The Statute of the Court (a part of the
treaty) provides for a permanent court of
11 advisory judges and four deputy
judges. It has a defined jurisdiction and
procedure. Its judges are elected by
votes of'the Council and Assembly of the
League of Nations. The salaries and
pensions of the judges and ofall the
Court officers and all the expenses of the
Court are paid out of the treasury of the
League of Nations. The Court decides
such international disputes of a legal
nature as the disputants choose to submit
to it. It also renders advisory opinions

'to the League of Nations on current in-

ternational questions which the disputants
have not submitted to the Court.

The Court has been functioning since
1922. It is composed: of able and high-
minded men, Not the least able and high-
minded is our fellow citizen, John Bassett
Moore. The Court has ably dealt with
the few cases which disputants have sub-
mitted to it and has rendered less than a
score of advisory opinions. A few im-
portant international questions suitable
for submission ‘to the Court have arisen in
Europe which the @arties have not seen
fit to submit. But most of the questions
which threaten the peace of the world are
net suitable for such submission, because
they are not legal but political in their
nature. The most ardent advocate of the
Court would hardly contend that the
Court has as yet proved to be an effective
agency for peace. On the other hand, no

plished.:



fair-minded person will deny that the very

existefice of the Céurt~serves to keep be-
_| fore the world the ideal‘ef justice judicially
administered. “Few will deny that this
ideal should be preserved and cherished as
essential to civilization.

The United States is not a member of
the League of ‘Nations and neyer will be-
come a member as long as the covenant
imposes upon its signatories the five
definite obligations which, in our judg-
ment, are inconsistent with American in-
dtpendence. This refusal of the League
membership on our part was adversely
criticized a few years ago by the most
thoughtful minds in Great Britain. Today
British sentiment is changing and there is
a significant demand for a repudiation by
Great Britain of the impossible. League
commitments which we . declined but
which she was unwise enough to assume.

The question for us is whether we desire
to join in the support of this Permanent
Court provided we can do so without as-
suming League liability. If this question
is answered affimatively a subordinate
question concerns the method by which
adherence on these terms carf be accom-

President Harding and President Cool-
idge have unhesitatingly answered these
questions by recommending adherence
and they have outlined to the Senate a
plan of adherence designed. to insure
American Independence of action.

The method proposed involves the as-
sent of all the signatures to modification
of the treaty. This amendment would
create for the United States a right to
vote for judges and would provide that in
signing’ the treaty, the United States
should not become subject to any of the
obligations created by the Covenant: Such
a modification would amply safe-guard
the interests of the United States. It
would not, however, accomplish that dis-
association of the Court from the League
which I personally believe would’ tend
and thereby increase its credit and use-
fulness.

If I could have my own way, I should
make American adherence depend upon
complete disassociation. But I cannot,
and in matters of divided opinion it is a
wise man who makes the best terms he
can get. Public opinion cannot be inter-
ested in the refinements of the question.
It is either adherence. to the Court not-
withstanding its connection or it is no ad-
herence at all. On this issue I am for
adherence, &

Just what form the ‘amendment will
take-both as to voting and as to advisory
opinions it is impossible to say. The
resolution of adherence must be the prod-
uct of many minds. It ‘is yet to be
framed. I hope, however, that the reso-
lution will read into the Statute of the
Court three provisions: first, that the
Court itself, in its own uncontrolled
discretion, shall decide when it will and
when it will.not render advisory opinions;
second, that all advisory opinions shall be
public acts and never rendered in secret;
and, third, that no advisory opinion shall
be rendered on any question affecting the
“United States unless with our consent.
The greatest danger in connection with
adherence is not, as it seems to me our
entanglement in League liability but the
inevitable disappointment of these many
good people who picture the Court as a
bulwatk against all war. Such disappoint-
ment tends to retard progress toward
world peace, because a wave of false ideal-
ism, like unreal reform, is always followed
by materialistic reaction, The League has
proved powerless even to check war—let
alone prevent it. “What’s the use?”
people say and lapse into scepticism, But
there is use in each forward step, even if
it is a short one. If we take enough such
steps, peradventure we shall wake. up
some morning and find that we have made
real progress, .
