France not only will seize control -

NATIONS VOTE ON PLAN
A PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL
COURT OF JUSTICE REFERRED
NATIONS FOR RATIFICATION
western Newspaper Union News Service.


Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Geneva, Dec. 1.-THE assembly has
accomplished the first important con-
structive act In the work OF the League
of Nations, in adopting statute for
permanent International court of JUS
tice.
The organization as planned still
lacks the obligatory appearance of
both parties to a dispute and provides
no penalty for noncompliance with the
decisions of the court.
The advocates Of the project, how
ever, believe that it is the most COM
plete plan that could be accepted by
the different governments.
They are confident that the good
will of the nations will remedy its de-
fects. The plan will go now to the
different states for ratification.
II twenty-five, or a majority Of the
league, approve it before the next
meeting of the assembly, the judges
will be elected and the court will come
into existence in September.
Adoption of the plan came after an
oratorical duel, with Latin-America on
one side and Europe on the other, over
the question as to whether the juris-
diction Of the international court
ought to be obligatory or voluntary.
Raoul Fernandez, Brazil; DR.. Carlos
Urueta, Colombia; Harmodio Arias,
Panama; Aristides Agueros, Cuba;
Senior Blanco, Uruguay, and Senior Ar
amayo, Bolivia, insisted with great
force upon the necessity Of obligatory
Jurisdiction to make the court really
effective.
Some of the speakers made refer
ence to the small majority in the COM
mittee, which had forced large min
ority to bend to its will.
It was also declared that the big
powers had used their greater influ-
ence to defeat the most important fea-
lures of the measure.
The greater number of the fifteen
speakers were skeptical as to the value
Of optional Jurisdiction as provided for
in the project.
Leon Bourgeois, France; A. ]. Bal
four, England; DR.. George F. Hage-
rup, Norway, and Giuseppe Motta,
Switzerland, defended the plan as the
best that could be set up for a begin
ming.
No country, Mr.. Ralfour said, had
been more strongly in favor Of arbi-
tration than Great Britain. He argued
that 1t was necessary. to make be-
ginning. The whole project might be
rendered imperative if that beginning
were not made with due regard for GER
tain realities,
Though the debate could not change
the viewpoint Of the majority, it
served to relieve the feelings of the
delegates, which had reached a high
pitch in the discussion in committee.

Good Rule Of safety.

A good rule of safety is to think of
others as you move about. Persons
who do this will not stop suddenly in
the middle of the sidewalk to pick up a
pin or some other trifle. The fellow
behind you is likely to walk into you
and both may be injured. They will
not start across a street without look
