Res'crating that the Republics n
ague critics had failed 10 offer any
Institute and had expected that F;lihu

To-day we learn that the commits

as made its report, establishing 4
'orld court for the adjudication OF
uestions according to rules OF law.
'e find. however. that his court is Il
art OF tho league covenant: that Mr
DOT and his colleagues approved by
&c council OF tho league: that they
iade their report to tho council OF
