WORLD COURT

AMERICAN INGENUITY

DIVORCE FROM LEAGUE OF

NATIONS

AMENDMENT WrTH COMPLICATIONS. ■'

CUNITED MESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIGBT.) ; > (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, 4th May. The Washington correspondent of the " New York Times " says the sub-com-. mittee appointed to hear evidence regarding the World Court will probably report, to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Court, proposal should be. accepted with-, an amendment providing for the negotiation of a protocol with all members of the League of Nations World Court which- would create a separate assembly" and, council for the appointment of the Court judges. ■ The design of the amendment is to divorce the Court, from the League, thus overcoming the Republican objections to anything . involving the United States in membership of the League. Acceptance of this amendment would mean negotiations with over fifty na T tions, and unanimity would .be extremely, unlikely. Observers clearly indicate, however, that the Senate will not accept the Court proposal in any. form, and it is fairly certain, that the present session of Congress will take no action in regard to the matter. The popular agitation, however, will continue. It is expected that opponents of the proposal will make their objections known before the sub-committee during the continued hearings. * •
