AMERICA MAY
ENTER
OF NATIONS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9-CP-
America today stood upon the
threshold OF the world court with
the statutes Of that famous tribun-
al revised to facilitate her entry.
BY the authority OF President
Hoover. a diplomatic representative
Of the Washington government was
directed TO sign at Geneva a pro-
tocol Of adherence on behalf Of the
United States.
The next step, and the one which
will carry the Washington govern
ment formally into the permanent
court OF international justice. will
be ratification by the senate. which
approved such a step in 1926. but
with reservations OF such a nature
as 10 lead other nations affiliated
with the court to refuse to admit
the United States under the condi-
tons stipulated.
Statutes Revised
Since then. however. a revision Of
the statutes under which the court
operates has been affected. design
ed to cbviate the difficulties which
the senate three years ago saw as
standing in the way OF American
adherence.
The senate at that time stIpulat-
ed five reservations, Of which four
were acceptable 10 other nations.
The fifth, and the TO which
they could not agree. set forth that
the court should not without the
consent OF the United States enter
tain a request for an advisory OPP
inion in which America might have
or claim an interest.
Requests for advisory opinions
originate in the council, or aSsemb-
~, OF the league OF nations, in
which the United States has no rep
resentati0n. AS a result OF recent
negotiations. the court statutes have
been so revised as TO give the Wash
ingtOn govern ent, in Secretary
Stimson's opinion, as much voice
IN requests for court action as any
member Of the league.
II. s. Position Unique
Correspondence between President
Hoover and Mr.. Stimson on the
question az the world court was
published today in which the cab
met officer summed up the present
situation and expressed this under
standing 0f the new arrangement
for advisory opinions.
Under the new scheme, America
will be notified Of pending requests
for advisory opinions and CONVERSE
fions between Geneva and Wash
ington will follow. Should America
object and the council insist upon
court action on the subject in ques-
ton. then, the United States can
withdraw from the court with no
consequent imputations OF unfriend-
illness or lack OF a desire to advance
world peace.
