League Court of Justice
Opened to All Nations
Councils Decision Permits Ger.
many TO Appeal on Dis
putes Over Treaty

GENEVA. May 12 (By The Associated
Press) The court Of international
justice this afternoon was thrown open
to the entire world when the Council
of the League of Nations decided that
Russia, Germany, Turkey, Hungary and
Mexico could bring cases pe.ore the
court provided they previously had
agreed to accept its decisions and not
declare war over the disputes in
question.
To-day's decision by the council gives
the court truly world jurisdiction for
the first time.
IT Is pointed out that there is moth
ing now to prevent Germany asking
the court to hear cases of disagreement
with France or other countries on mat
ters growingeout of the Treaty Of Ver-
sailles. While an immediate objection
unquestionably would be raised by
France, it is asserted that the councils
decision places a moral weapon in the
hands of Germany, in that Germany
now can call the attention of the world
to treaty disputes through the means
of the League of Nations, getting much
publicity thereby, although the disputes
might never reach the court.
