WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Little

brought forward yesterday by re-
publican senators.
In addition 10 it's failure to COM

unacceptable to some reservationists

original republican reservation.
Make Canvass.
A canvass OF 40 republicans Is un-

about 80 could be counted on to
vote for ratification with the chang

WOULD REDUCE
LEGAL EXPENSE
Chicago Attorney Tells Credit
Men of Arbitration
Advantages.

Urging commercial arbitration as
the remedy for the strained condi-
ton of the country's legal machin-
cry and as the means of accelerat-
ing justice and maintaining the
friendly relations CT opposing par
ties which are often unnecessarily
strained in open court J. Kent Green,
legal advisor to Chief Justice Oh
son, of the Chicago municipal courts
explained the advantages Of this
modern method of setting civil dis
putes before the South Bend AssO-
citation of Credit Men at its Febru-
airy meeting held Thursday night at
KableS' banquet hall.
The primary advantage of arbi-
tration,' he said, lies in the fact
that it cuts out the technicalities
Of court procedure and by doing so
dispOses quickly Of cases which
might remain in litigation for years.
Tie greater percentage of cases
which reach the higher courts come
to them on some technicality or
point of procedure which arbitra-
ton eliminates
Makes Comparison.
He stated that an investigation of
English courts shows that fully 90
percent of the cases which would
be brought into court in the Unit
States are left to arbitration in
Great Britain, cutting down the eX-
penses of government operation as
we'll as proving a mere satisfactory
means Of settlement 10 the parties
involved

expeditions settlement" he declared.
that Great Britain has 10 a large
measure attained her position as the
worlds leading commercial power"
Explaining this statsment he
pointed out case IL which grain
shipped to England from Argentine
had been damaged in transpcrta-
on. The case was left 10 an eX-
pert arbitrator in Liverpool who rem
dered his decision satisfactory to

which, the speaker declared would
have probably remained in Ameri-
can courts for more than year.
