Washington, Feb. eO.-RoSecre- ary Kellogg has informed nations. members of the world court, that he hoes not believe revision Of the sup plementary protocol adopted by eourt tribunal in 1926 would safe guard the interests of the United Btates.
 This supplementary protocol gave eourt members the right to with lraw their approval at some future inc of the fifth reservation made by the United States for this coun- rvs adherence to court. The fifth reservation prevents the court from lcepting requests for advisory opin- ons on disputes in which the United Btatcs ''has or claims an interest" :.
 Twenty four governments belong Ing to the world court accepted this protocol. but the United States balk- kd at the stipulation which gave eourt members the right to with raw approval of the reservation.
 Secretary Kellogg in identic notes delivered to Washington diplomatic representatives of the natious con- kcrned said "thc govcrnmenx of the United States feels such an exchange >f informal views as is contemplat- Id by the :4 governments. should. as herein suggested. lead to agreement ,pon some provision which in un- Objectionable form would protect the lights and interests of the United ktates as an adhcrent tosthe court tatute. and this expectation is trongly supported by thu fact that here seems to be little difference egarding the substance of these ights and interests"
 After reviewing the work of the sc6 Geneva conference. Secretary Kellogg said that the United States would be glad if it could dispose f the subject by simple acceptance f the suggestions embodied in the inal act and draft protocol adopted t Geneva on September B. 1926"
