THE COURT OF NATIONS.
MR. BORAH'S ATTITUDE.
AMERICAN PATTERN WANTED,
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (E-cd. 7.50 p.m.) NEW YOKE, March 20. • Senator W. E. Borah, in a speech here, declared that' he was enthusiastically in favour of a Court of International Justice, but he was strongly opposed to the court Bft up by the League of Nations, because it was impotent to enforce its decisions, and because it was a Court of Arbitration, subject to the manipulative tactics of European politicians. A Court of International Justice should be patterned after the United Statp* Supreme Court. It would not require force to make its decisions binding, but only the backing of world opinion. Force would result in catastrophe and probable distraction.
Mr. Borah attacked the occupation of the Ruhr, declaring. that it had been disastrous for France as well as Germany.
