Elihu Root told the American Association of International Law that the ques- tion presented by the President S message to the Senate was really only question of moral support
 In addressing the society. of which he is president, at it's seventeenth annual meeting. AIT. Root described the world court, his reasons for be- lieving 1t superior to the old Hague tribunal, the clear distinction which he said should be made between the League of Nations, the development of international law despite the World war, and what he held to be the fallacy in reasons advanced why this country should not support the court.
 Advocates New Conference.
 II hope also that following upon that approval, the influence of the United States will be employed to bring about new conference of all the nations entitled to take part in the making of international law, to formulate and agree upon the amend ments and additions, which should now be made to reconcile divergent views and to extend the law to sub jects not now adequately regulated, but as to which the interests of in ternational justice requires that rules of flaw shall be declared and ac- cepted.
 ''I look forward to the time when the refusal of any nation proposing war to submit to an impartial court the decision of the question whether facts ,ists to justify it in war upon defense grounds, will be deemed q confession Of guilt and I look for ward to the time when the uni- versal opinion of civilization have such a clear and certain basis for the formation of judgment will visit upon the aggressor it's swift and heavy condemnation against which no nation may prevail"
