Is Distinct From League.

Senator Swanson declared that
1.-The court Is an institution absolutely
distinct from the league. IL derives
its power from its own statute ana
not the covenant Of the league. Inc
league enacts no law. no rule. no reg
ulation governing the court Inc
league has no power whatsoever to
modify in any respect the statute OF
the court. 1t has no power TO remove
any of the judges. as this can only be
done by unanimous vote OF the mem
bers of the court.
Senator Swanson explained that the
statute Of the court was adopted py
the nations themselves In the form Oh
a protocol and not by the league couh-
eli and assembly. The view that the
court should be constituted by vote of
the assembly of the league was ad-
vanced and discarded, he told the
Senate.

Monroe Doctrine Status.

Senator Swanson secuted the sug
Sestion that the Monroe doctrine
would suffer in any way from adher-
ence Of the United States to the World
Court. He pointed out that the United
states has alreary adhered to the
Permanent Court of Arbitration at
The Hague. and that 1t has never been
held that the Monroe doctrine suffered
from such action.
He added. however, that eff it will
bring relief and composure to troubled
minds, he himself had no objection
to declaration upon the traditional
Monroe doctrine of the United States
at this time and in connection with
the adherence of this country to the
World Court.
Senator Swanson insisted that

many respects to the selection Of our
Federal judges and the fixing Of their
salaries"
Senator Swanson pointed out that
the judges of the Supreme Court of
the United States are named by the
President and confirmed by the Sen
ate. Their salaries are fixed by Con
gress. But the Supreme Court Is alb
solutely independent in its action of
either the President or the Congress
The World Court is even more indie
pendent of the league council and as
sembly. Senator Swanson said, point
ing out that members of the Supreme
Court may be impeached by Congress,
but that no such action may be taken
by the council or assembly with re-
earo to the judges of the World Court.
Loses No Independence.
The United States, Senator Swan
son said. loses no whit of it's indie
pende nee Of action by adhering to the
World Court. The court, he said, has
compulsory jurisdiction in certain cases
that may arise with regard to other
nations. but only because it has been
given this Jurisdiction by the ratifica
lion of certain treaties by those ma
tons, as In the case of the recent Lo-
carlo treaties. The United States
however. will become only a voluntary
sutton in the World Court If the reso-
luton before the Senate is adopted.
In order for the court to have juris-
d1ction in any case affecting the
United States, he said, it would be
necessary for the President to enter
into an agreement with some other
nation to submit the matter to the
court This agreement when negoti-
ated by the President would have to
be ratified by a two-thirds vote Of the
Senate. There Is no other way under
the Constitution that agreements with
foreign nations may be made by this
country.

PARIS. June 20.--The French gov

the Communist agitation in Fra nee

Morocco. where Rifian tribesmen
under Add el-krim have invaded the
French protectorate.
1t Is declared that the government

endanger the security of the French
soldiers or take the form of intelli-
gence with the enemy.

Some so or more arrests have al
ready been made in provincial towns,
especially garrisoned cities, during the
last 10 days. Those taken were COM
munists engaging in seditious talk or
caught distributing propaganda tracts
among the soldiers, asking them to
fraternize with the Rifflans. Arrests
were made at Marseilles, Toulouse and
Montpelier.
