While these steps were taken
under the auspices. Of the League,
the Statute constituting the Fer
manent Court Of International Jus
tice did not become effective upon
its adoption by the Assembly OF
the League On the contrary, II
became effective by virtue OF the
Signature. and ratification by the
signatory powers, Of q special pro-
tocOl, The reason for this pro-
cedure, was that. although the

Asks Reservation.

In order to avoid any Ques-
ton that adhesion to the proto-
col and acceptance. of the statute
of the court would involve any
legal relation on the part Of the
United States TO the League of
Nations or the assumption OF any
I obligations by the United States
under the covenant OF the League
Of Nations, It would be appropri-
ate, IL 50 desired. to have the
point distinctly reserved as a
part of the terms Of the adhesion
on the part Of this Government.
Again, as already noted, the
signature lof the protocol ar the
consequent acceptance Of the
statute, in the assent to the
optional compulsory clause, pes
not require the acceptance by
the signatory powers Of the juris-
diction OF the court except in
such cases as may thereafter be
. voluntarily submitted to the court.
Hence, in .adherfng TO the proto-
col, the United states would not
. be- required to depart from the
positiOns which It has thus far,
taken, that there should be spe-
cial agreement. for the subInis-
sion Of particular controversy
TO arbitral decision.
81 There Is, however, ono ft1lda-
mental objection to adhesion on
the part of the United States to
the protocol and the acceptance
Of the statute of the court in it's
present form. That Is, that un-
der the provisions Of the statute
only lnep1bers Of the Leagus Of
NationAs< are entitled 70 . voice
IN the election Of judges. The
objection 10 not met by the fact
! that this Government is repre-
scented by its own national group

and that this group may nominate

5rio.' to the first peace conference
st The Hague in 1899, the United
States had participated in fifty
seven arbitrations. twenty OF
which were with Great Britain.
The President Of the United States
had acted as arbitrator between
other nations In five cases, and
ministers of the United States, or
other persons designted by this
Government had acted as arbi-

concurrent resolution providing
