LEAGUE INWTESU.S..
into WORLD COURT
Unanimous Action Follows
Clearing of 0utstand-
ing Obstacles.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 1.-THE United
States of America, by unanimous vote
of the Assembly of the League OF Ma
lions, today was invited to become a
member of the Permanent Court of
international Justice at The Hague. It
is believed here the terms will be &C.
ceptable to the Government at WASH
ington.
BY adopting protocol embodying
proposals formulated largely by Elihu
Root. famous American jurist, the As
sembly cleared away all outstanding
obstacles which had been regarded as
blocking American participation in the
world tribunal. The same session Of
the Assembly adopted another protocol
which effects revision of the statutes
of the World Court, defining anew de-
tails of qualifications. duties and emolu-
ments of World Court judges.
Immediately following upon the As
sembly's action in adopting the two
protocols, the League conventions were
opened for signature by representatives
of the countries which are members
OF the court. There was an immediate
movement Of delegates to afflx sigma
creased rapidly during the evening.
To Be Sent TO u. 8.
The two protocols will be forwarded
without delay to Washington for con-
sideration Of the American Govern
ment Delegates and League officials
tonight were confident that the reser-
yations of the United States had been
met and were hopeful that the pow
erful non-member of the League would
see the way clear to accept.
The principal American objection, the
provision for the court giving advisory
opinions at the request of the Council
Or the Assembly of the League OF Nations,
Is dealt with fully in O manner which
it is believed conciliates American senti-
ment.
No advisory opinion on any issue
touching American interests shall be
asked for until the League has informed
the United States Of the intention to
seek such opinion. and full authority
shall be given for the exchange of views
States Government and the League.
Right to Withdraw.

cannot be met the United States shall
have the right to withdraw It's member

willingness to cooperate generally for
peace and goodwill"
One proposed amendment to the COM
mittee report on the protocol for the re-
vision of the statute Of the World Court
occasioned a brisk encounter on the
floor of the Assembly. This proposal
aimed TO strike from the protocol the
requirement that World Court judges
should possess recognized practical ex-
perience in international law"
It was presented by Norway and sup
ported by Scandinavian and North Eu-
ropean countries generally. But Latin
American delegates joined Central and
Southern European representatives in
opposing the removal of this clause,
and the Norwegian move was defeated,
