the world court. ana does not under
stand that such a conference as has
been proposed at Geneva would in
any way constitute action on the
reservations by the league Of nations
III the nUited States should take
any part in such a conference II
would be on the further understand
ing that il was not the purpose "a
consider any modification or inter
probation of the reservations a. ad-
opted by the senate.
An authoritative outline Of official
opinion made available today III the
state department included these OBJ
servations:
II Is not understood that the league
claims any power or jurisdiction N
pass upon reservations relative u
the world court, or has attempted tc
DO SO.
The situation simply ~ that tht
league council has suggested thai
the nations adhering 70 the court
send representatives 70 Geneva on
September To discuss these reserva-
tions, and this is not understood tC
be action by the league. but by the
nations who must accept the reserva-
tions before the United States ad-
herence gecomes effective.
If these nations desire 10 take this
cours there could be no possible OBJ

United States whether each nation
acts separately or acts after counsel
with the others.
