OF NATIONS
Change Of Statutes
Offers u. S. Many
Privileges

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-tPD-
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 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 nature
as to lead other nations affiliated
with the court to refuse 10 admit
the United States under the condi-
tions stipulated.
Statutes Revised
Since then, however, revision OF
the statutes under which the court
operates has been affected, design
ed to obviate the difficulties which
the senate three years ago saw ms
standing in the way OF American
adherence.
The senate at that time stipulat-
ed five reservations, of which four
were acceptable TO other nations.
The fifth. and the one to which
they could not agree. set forth that
the court should not without the
consent or the United States enter
tain a request for an advisory op-
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
resentation. AS a result Of recent
negotiations. the court statutes have
been so revised as TO give the WASH
ington government. in Secretary
Stimson's opinion. as much voice
in requests for court action as any
member OF the league.
u. s. Position Unique
Correspondence between President
Hoover and Mr.. Stimson on the
question of the world court was
published today in which the cab
met officer summed up the present
situation and expressed this under
standing Of 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-
tion. 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.
IF the United States Is involved
in any dispute or controversy, 10
whatever degree. with another coun-
try" Mr.. Stimson said. That mat
ter cannot be brought before the
world court without the consent of
the United States. even for the
purpose OF obtaining an advisory
opinion"
