Bryce Declares
L. S. Could Aid
World Tribunal
Expresses His Belief Codif-
cation of International
Laws Would Help Keep
All Powers at Peace
He Speaks of Eli''u Root
Says American Statesman
Favors an Understanding
of Universal Nature

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. 12.-
Codification Of international law as
"the natural complement and almost
indispensable accompaniment of an
international court Of justice" was
advocated by Viscount James Bryce
tonight in q lecture before the insti-
tute Of politics at Williams College.
An association for this purpose should
be created by the civilized states, he
declared, and he added that this was
work in which "the United States, by
its detachment from European con-
troversies, would be especially fitted to
take leading part"
Speaking of questions which arise
out of international relations, Viscount
Bryce said:
"To deal with these subjects, as we'll
as to revise and reestablish when de-
vised the rules of international law
that were accepted and usually obeyed
before 1914, there ought to be some
organized body capable of undertaking
the work. Non-official associations of
jurists from many countries have for
years been occupied with it and have
rendered eminent services. Might not
some new association be now created
by the civilized states, invested by
them with authority to amend, and
codify when amended, those rules
which they find best?
Smaller States Can Help.
"The smaller states, such as Switzer-
land, Norway and Holland, who have
already produced many distinguished
jurists, could not ineptly join in this
work and would be all the filter be-
cause they were neutral in the late
war. The United States, by its de-
tachment from European controversies,
would be specially fitted to take a lead
ing part 1t would be premature to
empower the United States to enact
any code they might prepare, but such
code might be submitted to the as
sociated states to be examined by the
lawyers and governments of each, so
that all such portions of the code as
were accepted might be adopted by
as many states as possible and thus
receive official authority, these states
undertaking to observe them.
"We are forced to think seriously
what can be done to reGstablsh conf
dence on basis more secure. Can any
authority be found impartial enough
to try offenses and to enforce penal
ties on convicted offenders
The idea of such public opinion
has lacked body and substance. Such
substance, such a concrete form, it
may find in international law. Opin-
ion may anchor itself to law. Law may
instruct and steady opinion. The task
that now lies before us is to see
whether and how the Judgment passed
by law and supported by opinion can
be made to be enforced between the
nations"
