in this way n whole system Of iuris-

plainly recognized. By this sensible ar

growth, however. as may ensuc are un
likely to nullify the highly significant basic
principles Of the program.
The court is TO consist of fifteen mem.

The Hague, The forty two articles of the
first draft develop these points and authorize

1t may be said Of this program as a whole
that nothing which the league has accom- :
plished is more hopeful index than that the
original commendable purpose back Of its
formation has not been forgotten. Without
