THE HAGUE, June 1.-The United
states project for an international arbt-
tration tribunal was accompanied by q
memorandum, entitled Memorandum
from the Commissioners of the United
States submitted with their project for
permanent International tribunal"
The text of the memorandum is as fol-
lows:
The proposal herewith submitted
takes its form as a resolution looking
to action outside of the conference from
our instructions. The proposals show
the earnest desire of the President of
the United States for permanent in
ternational tribunal for the conduct OF
arbitration between nations and the
willingness of the President to aid in
the establishment of such a tribunal
upon the general lines indicated. The
Commissioners from the United States
are ready without insisting upon the
form of their own resolutions, to try to
develop the proposals hereafter submit
ted to the conference, so that they shall
embOdy what is essential in this plan.
1t seems to the United States Commits
sioners that it ought not to be difficult
to associate with the several proposals,
as they may eventually be developed
for mediation in various form of inter
national inquiry and arbitration by spe-
cial arrangement. a plan for a perman-
! ent tribunal of arbitration which will
embody what Is essential in the Ameri-
