THE HAGUE. February 10.-Flaws
in the structure of the new perma-
nent court of international justice
are being found as the judges begin
the task of celebrating rules Of pro-
cedure. The new court is to base its
decisions solely on international law,
instead of diplomacy or. arbitration,
thus applying the same principles OF
right and justice between nations as
have long existed within the nations.
The question arises. however.
whether international law can ever
progress if the court limits its de-
cisions to existing laws. Wlthin the
nations legal progress Is erected oy
nations Between nations 1t is felt
to be adopted. The original trainers
of the courts statutes, who met at
The Hague two years ago. recon-
mended that the league or nations
should call an international confer
! ence for the codification of interna.
tinn,I law. This conference will
have the effect Of an international
legislature.
Assembly Rejects Iden.
The league assembly. however. on
the direction of Lord Robert Cecil,
rejected the idea. Underneath TINS
rejection was felt the unwillingness
of the victorious nations. particular
/ lv Britain, to face international laws
which it had itself broken bL lts
, orders in council limiting the rree-
dom of the seas during the' sreat
war. Britain'S fear in TINS respect
was so lively that it has already Sc
cured the insertion in statutes OF
clause providing that the court oe
cision as between two given powers
should not be binding as regarus
other mowers unless they themselves
shouId in turn come before the court
which they are not bound to 90.
1t also was British insistence which
led to the provision that although the
courts decision should be reacneu Ds
a majority vote of the judges the MI
l.nority should have the right 10 eN-
pect a dissenting opinion-an ldea
which jurists generally feel may tend
to weaken the courts authority.
These evidences of wartime feeling
even within the bosom OF the court
lead observers here to believe that the
conference for the codification of in
ternational law now proposed ny the
United States will encounter serious
obstacles particularly il 1t proposes
to reopen the question of the freedom
of the seas.
May Postpone Conference.
Most Of the jurists connected with
the new court believe that there must

sooner or later be conference for the
codificatio of international law, but
they think it would be better to post
pone it for few years until the war
spirit has died out. They would pre-
fer to see it held under the auspices
of the league than under the auspices
Of nation like the United States. the
attitude of which is essentially hostile
to the league.
The statutes Of the new court pro-
vide that its decisions shall be based
on: 49,.
International conventions. whether
general or special, establishing rules
expressly recognized by the contest
ing states. Such. for example, would
be the rules governing submarine and
gas warfare just adopted by five pow
ers at the Washington conference.
International custom as evidence Of
general practice accepted as law.
General principles of law as recog-
niZed by civilized nations.
Judicial decisions and the teachings
of the most highly qualified publicists
of the various nations.
Best Elements Borrowed.
In the preliminary draft of the
rules of procedure prepared by the
brilliant young Swedish jurist, Knut
II. l.. Hamarskjold of the league sec
retariat. who has since been chosen
registrar of the court. the best ele
ments were borrowed from the fol-
lowing notable texts:
The statutes and practice of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, the
English privy council, the Swiss fed
eral tribunal, the New Amsterdam and
Norwegian codes. the procedure Of the
mixed arbitral courts under the various
treaties Of the past. The Hague ar
bitration convention Of 1907. The
Hague prize court convention Of 1912
and The Hague draft for permanent
court in 1907.
A special committee Of five judges
is now engaged in studying and modi-
flying this first draft. Tremendous i'm
portance is given to questions of pro-
cedure in a court of this kind and the
judges are showing great care in their
work. Their meetings for the present
are private. They speak French and

Th" method Of indirect lighting. by

the best.
But whatever the general method OF

that the eyes are in constant glare.
