American adherence 10 the WoTlu
court protocol. which is favored by
the peace societies, Previously the
senate agreed to enter the world
court with five reservations. Other
nations chokcd on the fifth reserva-
ton. which would have given the
United States discretionary power TO
prevent court decisions on matters III
which we claimed to have an inter-
est. The senate will undoubtedly have
another try at adhcring to the world
court and 1t is commonly believed that
tho Root formula. with Hoover's sup
port, Will be accepted.
The senate will also consider ratl-
tication of the Pan-American arbltra-
ton treaty. which is a ~far-reachlng
document although 1t does not outlaw
war as the kellogg treaty does. The
Pan-American treaty. which has now
been signed by all the American re-
rlbllcs concerned. binds the contract
ing parties to submit to arbitration all
disputes judicial in character. Spe-
officially. these disputes include the IN
depreciation of treaties all questions
Of international law. existence OF any
fact which. if established, would con-
stitute a breach of international obll-
cation and the nature or extent OF
reparatlon to be paid IN event OF
breach OF an international obligation.
The only possible snag in ratlflca-
ton OF this treaty lies in the fact that
it doesn't provide for senate ratlilca-
ton Of separate decisions on specific
cases arising under the treaty.
Efforts will also be made to pass one
of tho several bills and resolutions
including those of Senator Burton
and congressman Porter and Fish
providing for regulation Of arms ship
ments to nations at a
Take Up Gas Treaty
! Further effort will be made in the
| senate to obtain ratification Of the
! poison gas protocol. Fifteen nations
have adhered to this. most of them in
the last year. The list includes Great
Britain. France. Germany and Italy.
A majority Of members of the senate
foreign relations committee Is now
said to favor the outlawry of poison
gas in warfare.
There is some hope that the expect
ed ~Hoover-MacDonald conference will
lead toward an arbitration treaty with
Great Britain, under which the two
nations would promise to submit to
arbitration any dispute arising be-
tween them. It may also be that
Hoover and Macdonald will come to
some understanding which will hold
