Americans in recent issue of the
| outlook. Following this, a summary
of possibilities is given which briefly
places before the reader the more i'm
portant problems that have TO be set
/ tied.
The Outlook resume says: 1T is
expected that the delegates will pay
special attention to some Of the rec
fommendations OF the recent Peace
Congress in New York City, particu-
larly to the opening Of The Hague
Court to all nations; the evolution OF
The Hague Conferences into a more
permanent and comprehensive inter-
national union, with representatives
from all the nations to insure regu-
lSrly and Systematically the efficient
CG-oUcration of the Powers in the de-
INelopmcnt and application of inter
national law in other words an in
ternational parliament; general ar
filtration treaty providing for the
reference to The Hague Court Of in
tornational disputes not to be ad-
iusted by diplomacy, and in case of
disputes not possible to be included
in an arbitration convention, a me-
Citation treaty, ny which the dispu-
,tants, before resQrting to force, shall
always invoke the services of an in
trrnational commission Of inquiry or
the mediation 0f one or more friend
ny Powo.s.
THE emphasis on the permanence
of The Hague Court could be increas-
ed by adopting the recommendation
that members of the Court should re-
ceive uniform salary to be paid to
each by an appropriation made by the
Government appointing him, no mem
her of the Court to be permitted to
act as legal adviser of any nation in
any controversy submitted for arbi-
tt alton to any tribunal of the Court,
nor to hold any Office under any Gov
crnment during his term of office at
The Hague. In other words, The
Hague Court should not only be COM
prehensive and permanent, but also
self-supportiug Each nation sigma
tory to the treaty having a member
in The Hague Court, should appro-
Pirate to the Courts treasury the
yearly sum of a thousand dollars
u ba pn nn1.Il n tiNn nf !
less than ten million; two thousand |
dollars where the nation has a pop |
ulation of more than ten million blt |
less than twenty million, and five |
thousand dollars where the nation
has a population of more than ten
fund to be used to de-
fray the salaries of treasurer, clerk,
marshal, and other court expenses.
"A closely allied subject which !
surely will receive attention is the
dissemination and codfication of the
International rules and customs
which we call international law.
"The subject brought up by Mr..
Bryan at the Peace Congress may |
also be considered. and mandate is |
sued that any neutral nation supply
ing a warning nation with money |
should be adiudged guilty of hos
tile act.
Another interesting subject is
that OF neutral ocean highways or
steamship lanes in time Of war, rs
by certain publicists;
fleets could then fight only within
certain limits.
AN allied subject is the perma-
nent naturalization of straits and ca
mails, following the neutraliza ton of
the Danish Sound and the Suez Ca
nal, already secured.
Finally, a subject sure to arouse
is that proposed by MIR.
Carnegie at the recent Peace Con-
gress-the establishment of an inter-
national peace force, which, without
with State militia and po-
lice service, should replace rival ar
mics and navies.
I'm addition to the subjects in the
Russian program concerning actual
warfare. there will doubtless be
to extend the threemile lin
il for all territorial purposes, since
he marine league-three geographt-
Ja1 miles-Ro longer satisfies the de-
