LEAGUE OF NATIONS
THE INTERNATIONAL COURT. PRESIDENT HARDING’S SCHEME. Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, June 20. The State Department has indicated that the Government is not interested in the elecion of Americans to the International Court of Justice. The League Council’s action in this connection will not influence the administration in any way. The United Press Washington correspondent learns that a diplomatic report giving a rough outline of the Association of Nations plan purported to be favoured by President Harding has been sent to two South American republics, which asked their representatives at Washington to report on the scheme. The salient features, according to the report, are that the Association would have no written constitution and would function through a council of representatives of nations, the decisions being advisory rather than binding. The present Allied Supreme Council could be used as the nucleus. The plan calls for an international law court without compulsory arbitration and without penalties for failure to abide by the Court’s judgment.
