Geneva, Sept. denominations
for the fifteen judges of the inter-
n. .ional court of justice which
have been made by most of the
national delegations at The Hague
court OF arbitration, are said to
assure plenty of excellent material
to choose from when the election
is reached toward the end of the
program of the second annual ses-
sion of the league Of nations as
sembly which opens here tomor-
row.
Final establishment of the world
tribunal has been assured by the
ratification of the protocol by more
thln the twenty-four states re-
quired to make that act valid and
there is every reason to believe,
officials say, that the court will be
In action before the end OF the
present year.
Two Americans, Elihu Root and
DR.. Roscoe Pound, appear among
the judicial candidates submitted.
Mr., Root has been nominated by
three countries-Italy. Brazil and
Bolivia. The presiding justiceship
thus may fall to national whose
government Is not represented in
the league of nations.
, The other nominations present a
number of interesting features
Each country may nominate four
candidates, out two of these must

Britain has only made one nomina-
tion--that of Viscount Robert Fin
lay--and this example has been
followed by her dependencies.
Few countries have failed to
make use of their full right of
nomination. In q number of In
stances this right has been en-
ployed to accentuate the solidarity
of various racial or regional
groups, as those of Scandinavia,
South America and the Little En-
tente of middle Europe.
Thus the SwedeS have nominated
two of their own countrymen,
Norwegian and a Dane; the Nor
wegians, a Dane and Swede be-
sides their own two men, and the
Danes a Swede and a Norwegian in
addition to two Danes. The list
sof nominations submitted by the
4 Czech osfovak group consists of
one Czechoslovakian. one Jugosla-
svian, one Rumanian and one
Greek.
~ Prior to the esta blishment OF the
Inter ational court of justice,
enumber of important political ques-
tions will come before the assem-
bly,. Foremost looms the Tacna-
africa dispute, which Bolivia has
requested to have put on the agen-
da Chile has given notice that
her delegates will move the previ-
GUS question when this item is
reached, their contention being
that the matter involved does not
fall within the jurisdiction Of the
league of nations as outlined by
/, the covenant. Chile is said to have
. taken a very determined stand. A
number OF the smaller nations, on
the other hand, are DESTROYS of
having similar controversies adtad-
igated by league action.
The Albanians are seeking a
chance of appeal from the decision
OF the council to have their COM
plants against Jugoslavia and
Greece referred to the council of
ambassadors instead of 10 the
league. The wilma and the Aland
island disputes also will come be-
fore the session in one form or an
other. 1t Is not expected that the
division Of Silesia will come up for
discussion and It is safe to lssume
that Germany will not be admitted
until 1t is too late for her to
raise 1t.
Several of the reports to be sub
mitted, like those of the temporary
disarmament commission, the adj
ytsory committees on the traffic In
opium, and the provisional econo-
mic and financial commission.
must necessarily lead TO references
to the American attitude toward
the league and suggestion" for fl-
ture action or inaction in relation
TO this attitude.
other reports of the same kind,
which will provide the bulk Of the
business to be transacted are as
follows:
BY the council on the conclu-
sions of the committee on am-rd-
ments to the covenant: by the
committee appointed to examine
the scope of the treaty registration
clause Of the covenant; by the in
ternational blockade commission;
by the advisory committee on corn
munications and transit; by the
international conference on the
traffic in women and children by
tie committee appointed to inves'
tgate the workings Of the secre-
tariat and the labor office; by the
committee on the ALLEGATION of ex-
penses and by the council on the
