FIGHT
IN WORLD
COURT
By WILLIAM S. NEAL


American diplomats abroad have
advised the State Department
that European nations subscribing
to the World Court are ready to
take extreme measures to gain
adherence of the United States, It
was learned today.
With announcement that Is ma
lions had responded to q call Of
the League Of Nations to DISCUSS
American reservations in Geneva,
September /, came adyices that
proposals may be made for
changes in the World Court
statute in order to meet the
reservations.
Hope To Fight Debts
The attitude of the Senate in
the debt settlements is understood
to have had a marked effect on
nations at first inclined to re-
quire the United States to come
into the court on the original terms
or not at all.
These nations believe they would
fare better II they could fight the
debts before the court than through
having the Senate sitting as the
court Of last resort.
The reported desire Of Premier
Herriot to place the French debt
before the World Court for arbi-
tration was regarded as a direct
expression of this belief.
The Herriot proposal drew fire
from the anti.world court forces,
who declared it is q, fair example
Of what the United States would
Be subjected to through adherence
TO the world tribunal.
The entire policy Of court members
toward American reservations Is ex-
pected to be settled at the Geneva
meeting, at which the United States
viii not be represented.
Several European diplomats haze
informally expressed the opinion that
changes in the protocol Of the court
or the covenant Of the League ofiNs-
tons will be necessary to meet the
reservations.
The principal reservation to be dis.
cussed prohibits the court from rem.
dering an advisory opinion without
public notice to all states adhering

sent Of the United States before con-
sidering an advisory opinion affect.

out. will come back to the Senate for
consideration through the provision
that recourse to the court in a case
affecting the United States may be
had only through treaties concluded
between parties in dispute.

An outline of what the South
ern Arizona Power Company can
do toward eliminating pole lines
on Morley and Grand avenues, as a
step toward paving of the two
streets, main thoroughfares of
Nogales, was submitted Wednes-
day by the power company to a
committee of citizens consisting of
Dave Loeb, Captain L. w. Mix,
and j. E. Wise.
The committee was named
sometime ago by the city council
to confer with the power company
and get their views in regard to
paving.
The conference Wednesday was
attended by the members Of the
committee, and Spiro Proto of
Nogales, president of he power
company, and B. M. Wotkyns of
Los Angeles, vice-president of the
power company.
Mr.. Wotkyns, in an interview
Wednesday, declared that the pow
er company has always been in
favor of civic improvements. The
committee, he said, called on them
to ascertain what the power com.
pany could do toward eliminat-
ing pole lines.
eft is our opinion, declared Mr..
Wotkyns, "that Morley avenue
is the most congested street in
Nogales, particularly that portion
running from the international
line to the courthouse. In addi-
tion to the congested part of the
street, there is new development
now under way, in the form of
new hotel, therefore it occurs to
us that elimination of poles should
begin at the international line
and worked north to the court
house. We have submitted a pro-
posal to the committee which will
be presented to the city council,
and the plan as outlined will ulti-
mately remove from Morley and
