WORLD COURT, AIM

National Referendum FavOrs
International Tribunal to
Avert Wars.
From Tho Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Jan. 4.-Commercial
organizations, through National
Chamber Of Commerce referendum,
have gone on record in favor of bring
ing economic pressure TO bear on ma
tions which resort to military measures
without submitting differences to an in
ternational court. The vote was taken
on several recommendation contained
in the special report of the National
Chamber.
The proposition, which received the
Endorsement of forty-four principal ma
tions Of the world at The Hague, in
favor of the establishment of an in
ternational court was opposed by only
q organizations, as against 1853 in
favor.
Two hundred and eghty-two COM
mercial organizations, chambers Of
commerce and boards Of trade located
In forty states and the District of Co
lumbia and Hawaii. fled ballots,
as did the American Chambers of Com
merce In Berlin and Milan. Each or
ganization voting was entitled to from
one TO ten votes. according 70 the size
Of its membership.
The vote on the recommendation for
the establishment of council Of con-
citation to consider questions which
arise between nations and which do
not depend on established rules or on
facts which can be determined by an
international court, was 744 in favor
and % opposed.
Dissenting votes Of sufficient number
to attach significance 70 them were
found only on the two propositions as
10 the methods recommended for en-
forcing peace. The first method, that
of bringing economic pressure TO bear
on any nations which resort to military
measures without submitting their diff
ferences 70 an international court, was
carried, however, by considerably more
than the twO-thirds vote necessary 70
bind the National Chamber. Accord
ing TO the preliminary count, $50 votes
were cast in favor Of this method and
1877 opposed.
On the use Of military force in the
event that concerted economic pressure
should not be sufficient, the dissenting
vote was large enough TO prevent the
Chamber from being committed in
favor Of this proposition, although the
balance necessary was slight and may
be obliterated in the official recount.
The bylaws require two-thirds Of the
votes cast to commit the chamber.
Seven hundred and one votes were
cast on this recommendation, OF which
452 were in favor, while the two-thirds
vote required 46S.

the purpose Of such leaders is to use

would give organized labor immunity
