WORLD COURT OF JUSTICE.
AMERICA'S TRADITIONAL HABIT. ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT FORCE. WASHINGTON, December 14. With intimations from Senator H. C Lodge, that he opposes the World Court of justice and desires a new tribunal, constructed on the basis of the Hague ■Court of International Arbitration, observers freely predict that the late Mr. IlardLng's resolution, proposing the United States' adherence to the Lpasrue Court will never receive the approval of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Opposition centres upon the Court's connection with the league The Republican mpmbors of the committee are convinced the Court ca.n never be completely divorced from its parent. It is emphasised that America traditionally always favoured adjusting international disputes, and, therefore, the Senate doubtless approves the Court in principle; ■bnt the question is asked why the I'nitpd States must go to the League, which. America definitely rejected, for an international Court. The committee may even •propose that the Vnited States take the leadership in the di.-cussion with the Power?, with the purpose of making the Hague tribunal such a world Court as is desired.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
