GENEVA, September IS. It transpires that the basis of the proposed pact for international arbitration which the sub-committee of the League of Nations is discussing, will be that all the signatories shall undertone to recognise the jurisdiction of the Court of International Justice and submit to that Court all disputes, the settlement of which is not provided for under Articles 12, 13 and 10 of the Covenant, for reference to the Council of the League, which shall givo its decision by a majority vote. The procedure in regard to arbitration is still to be settled, and possibly in view of the objections raised by one delegation, a separate body instead of the Council of the League may be established as a Court of Arbitration. The question of partial agreements or so-called regional agreements between various Stated apparently led to considerable discussion yesterday. Finally the French proposal was agreed to. namely, that so long the covenantis not universal, partial agreements should continue to exist though coming within tho scopo of the general pact for mutual assistance, provided they are registered and published bv the League.
