The HAGUE. Aug. 2a.-The examining
committee to which was intrusted the
consideration Of the joint proposal Of the
United States. Great Britain and Germany
for the establishment Of permanent court
Of arbitration met this morning and dis
cussed the question of the competence Of
the special committee Of three judges
which according to the joint proposal, the
court will appoint annually to try cases, il
necessary, elsewhere than at The Hague.
The committee adjourned without ar
irving at a decision or considering the
question OF the distribution OF the judges
among the Powers represented in the oon-
ference, which question threatens to be the
stumbling block.
II Is made clear by the Powers. including
Germany, Japan, Russia and Belgium, who
are sceptical OF the usefulnese Of the pro-
posed court. that any stipulstions regard
ing it's future jurisdiction must not apply
to any general treaty OF arbitration. but
shall apply only TO litigation arising out
Of reciprocal treaties. of which thirty y-three
already exist.
In the project presented by the American
and German delegations 1t 10 suggested that
the standing committee OF the permanent
court should also fill the role Of a COM
mission Of inquiry, as constituted by the

tions as to this proposal the commission
