NO NAMES OFFICIALLY
PROP0SEOBY AMERICA
|. FOR WORLD COURT
Cablegram, Made Public Today,
Tells Why Nominations Were
Not Proper.
BECAUSE OF U. S. STATUS

The text of the cablegram from the
American members of the Old Hague
Court of Arbitration giving the rea-
sons why the Americans made no of
fetal nominations for the rev Court
of International Justice. as received
today by the League Of Nations News
Bureau, reveals that this message did
not reach League headquarters in
Geneva until September l6. two DAYS
after the judges Of the International
Court were actually elected by the
Council and the Assembly.
The cablegram is signed by Judge
George Gray, Oscar Straus. Elihu
Root and John Bassett Moore. The
only explanation why this message did
not reach the League until after the
election Of judges is a single sentence
which says: We exceedingly regret
that the announcement Of this con-
clusion has been unavoidably DELAYED. 3"
The conclusion" referred to is that
the American members OF the Hague
Court could not make official nomina-
tons TO the new interna tional court
because the latter court was an in
- NfAA~sAS ~ etAt * = AAG Va WHICH the
United States was not a member. The
message follows:
Drummond,' Secretary General.
League Of Nations, Geneva: Consider
ing that our appointment by the
President as members of the Perma-
nent Court of Arbitration was. under
the Hague Convention OF nineteen
seven, to perform the functions con-
templated in that convention and that
your invitation TO nominate candidates
Tor judges of the new Permanent
Court of International Justice is
under another treaty, to which the
United States is not a party. and in
respect of which no authority has been
conferred upon US, we reluctantly
reached the conclusion that we were
not entitled TO make official nomina-
uons for the new court. We exceed
ingiy regret that the announcement of
this conclusion has been unavoidably
delayed

thousands Of vacant seats ready to

upper stand also filed slowly. There
were prospects Of a $4,000 attendance.
