pet thoughts that anyone from

The revue those Patricfers

week, was something we need not
think of using the scalpel upon.

EQUALITY
Recommendation May Not
Meet Terms of Americas
Fifth Reservation

Geneva, Sept. 17-(R)-It is under
stood that, at the final meeting Of
the drafting committee Of the world
court delegate conference today, it
was agreed to recommend to the main
committee Of IA that the United
States be granted a position of q per-
feet equality with members Of the
League of Nations council in all mat
tiers pertaining to requests for ad-
visory opinion by the court.
Presumably, this would not wholly
meet the American wishes as ex-
pressed in the fifth. reservation, in
case advisory opinions could be asked
by majority 81 atke council, because
an American veto would not be effec-
tive.
The drafting committee will present
it's report to the full committee to-
morrow. Those close to the delibera-
1tions .persist in the belief that, not.
withstanding the continuing diff
Guilty, the committee Of IA or the con-
ference itself will find way of sat
