ing millions of population. The

TAFT SEES WAY
 TO WORLD COURT
 FOR WORLD PEACE
lspoalal corregponauAce.l

NEW YORK. May 2.-"A world court is within the range of the practical and is not a dream"
 William Howard Taft, leading sponsor for the proposed internation- al tribunal, thus defended the plan today in a speech here before the World Court Congress.
 Mr. Taft declared that had world court been IT. existence In 1914 the issue of serbia's responsibility for the killing of the Austrian crown prince and his wife might have been settled by a hearing and de- cision." and the time taken in the submission of the controversy and the courts judgment would have gone a long way toward preventing the present war"
 Calls Court Practical
 The way toward the establishment of a world court could be traced through the history of The Hague conferences and the declaration Of London. Mr. Taft declared. these gatherings showing that such a court twas within the range of the practical and was not dream; and that the suggestion found friendly response among nations as evidenced by the intention of the declaration of London to create an international prize court for the adjudication of maritime disputes.
 "There are no questions" Mr. Taft said, "that may not be submitted to an arbitration if the parties are willing to do SO.
 Tellc Field For Court
 Tt is apparent that a world court could not provide for the settlement of political and other nonjudicial questions that may lead to war and which cannot be disposed of In ac- cordance with the rules of law and equity.
 Nevertheless 1t win be on enor- nous step in the avoidance of war to have such court and the exam pie that 1t will furnish in a very large field of controversy. the settle ment of which would avoid war can not but have profound influence in also stimulating settlement by nego- tiation and compromise and by arbi- tration of questions outside the pos sibility of judicial settlement"
