the work OF the conferences and courts

that tn" first Hague conference
framed d Magma Charta for the ma

Of which We can all steadily strive.
The second conference made further
progress. the third should do yet

eminent has more than once tenta
lively suggested methods for COM

Asia, shall set themselves seriously to
the task of devising some method
which shall accomplish this result. If
nav venture the suggestion, it would
be we'll for the statesmen Of the
world, in planning for the erection OF
this world court, to study what has

supreme court. l cannot hcip 'hlhk-
