BRITISH QUESTION ARISES.
Representation OF D0minions on W0rld
Tribunal Is Raised.

GENEVA, March 10 Cp).-Whether
the British dominions have the right
to a Judge on the bench Of the World
Court OF Justice when that body is
considering questions involving their in
teresss. cropped I'D unexpectedly today
and caused lively two hours discus
SION in the lurlSts commission. 1t
finally was agreed that the problem was
outside the scope Of the commissions
mandate.
Sir Cecil Hurst, the British delegate,
initiated the discussion by voicing his
understanding that the commission had
already adopted his view that even If an
English judge were on the court, the
dominionS would have the right of rep
reSentation IL the court should be con-
Sidering q question concerning them
directly.
Sir Cecil said that he was surprised
to learn that Nicholas Politis Of Greece
held contrary view and that Politis
felt the commission had not at all &C.
cepted the British thesis. Nevertheless,
Sir Cecil said. 1t was his opinion that
the statutes Of the court, the covenant
of the League and the constitution Of
the British Empire all supported the
Dominion's right to sit on the bench.
The Greek juriSt declared that &C.
ceptance of Sir Cecil's thesis would be
opposed by many small states and that
some of them might deem it a reason
for not accepting the compulsory arbi-
tration clause of the World Court.
Henri Fromageot, French jurist, ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be a
great mistake either to adopt Sir Cecil's
views or reject them completely. He
felt that the question was not within
the purview of the commission He
also remarked that all the British
dominions might want to have the right
to be represented on the bench If the
court should be considering such broad
question as the freedom of the seas.

GENEVA, March 19.-The question
of advisory opinions, one OF the chief
stumbling blocks to American adhesion
ticle 5 of the protocol agreed upon by
the jurists here today. 1t reads:
with. view to insuring that the
Court shall not without the consent of
the United States entertain any request
for an advisory opinion touching any
dispute or question in which the United
States has or claims an interest, the
secretary-general Of the League OF Ma
tions shall, through any channel des-
ignated for that purpose by the United
States, inform the United States of any
proposal before the Council or the As
sembly of the League for obtaining an
advisory opinion from the Court, and
thereupon, if desired, an exchange Of
views as to whether an interest Of the
United States is affected shall proceed
with all convenient speed between the
Council or Assembly OF the League and
the United States.
Whenever request for an advisory
opinion comes to the Court the registrar
shall notify the United States thereof,
among other states mentioned In the
new existing article 73 Of the rules of
tuc Coult, otdtHie Icd5oHaOie tHne
limit fixed by the president within which
written statement by the Unied States
concerning the request viii be received.
Stay Of Proceedings.
eff for any reason no sufficient op-
portunity for exchange Of views upon
such request should have been afforded
and the United States advises the Court
that the question upon which the
opinion of the Court is asked is one that
affects the interests of the United
States, the proceedings shall be stayed
for a period sufficient to enable such
exchange of views between the Council
or the Assembly and the United States
to take place.

He thought this would be going too far.
On the other hand, II Sir CecilS claim
should be rejected 1t might, for example,
prevent Australia being represented II
the court were considering the question
Of fisheries, which was important to that
dominion.
Arnold Raestad Of Norway agreed
with the substance OF Sir Cecil's con-
tention, as he thought the courts stat
utes and the League covenant itself
recognized the dominionS as separate
entities. Nevertheless, he recommended
adjournment of the question. The jap
anese and German delegates felt that
the question was outside Of the man.
date Of the commission, and the jurists
then voted not to take official cogni-
zance OF the problem, but to put all the
remarks In the minutes.
Throughout the discussion Elihu Root,
the American delegate, remained silent,
but when all was over he said:
MIR. Chairman, just want to say
this: The United States has recognized
the separate International personality
of the British dominions by receiving
from and accrediting 10 the Irish Free
State and Canada minister plenipo-
tentiaries."

Finally. article declares that the
United States may at any time notify
the secretary general of the League
that It withdraws its adherence to the
protocol of 1920 and the present proto-
col OF adhesion by the United States
shall cease to be in force. Any one
of the other states may on their part
announce withdrawal of their accept
ance Of the American conditions.
Then follows the important phrase,
1.-THE present protocol shall be consid-
cred as ceasing to be in force If and
when within one year from the date
of receipt of the said notification not
less than two-thirds of the contracting
states other than the United States
shall have notified the secretary general
of the League that they decided to
withdraw the above mentioned accept
ance."

PERIL SEEN IN GERMANY.
Protocol Privileges Called Dangerous by
Berlin Press.

BERLIN, March 10 (P).-The Ger
man press has been slow to comment
upon the possibility of American ad-
hesion to the Permanent Court Of In
ternational Justice-the World Court.
Some of the papers are just now be-
ginning TO question the ACCESSIBILITY OF
the United States having the special
privileges implied In the protocol. These
feel the situation presents dangerous
precedent which might shake the entire
structure of international justice.
The Social Democratic VorWaerts de-
clared that under the Root plan it
would be impossible for the World
Court TO consider the appeal OF any
Latin American country against the
United States without first knocking
al Washington's door and asking per-
mission" adding that the United States
Government would then feel free to ex-
ert It's veto power.
THAT constitutes a position of spe-
cial privilege, irreconcilable with the
idea of international Justice" the paper
says. las always the United States
depends upon the Monroe Doctrine to
cook themselves this extra sausage"

barely two weeks old, the government
had organized and emerged victorious
from its two major offenSives. The
rebels in Vera Cruz under Gen. Jesus
Maria Aguirre were routed in the first
days of the revolt. The Northern cam

than a mopping-up process. In the
two weeks campaigning the federal
forces have not succeeded in drawing
the rebel troops into q single battle Of
any size There is tendency even in
government circles to call the revolt
the "bloodless revolution" although this
is not quite correct.

SIGN
 GARDEN CONTRACT
Uzcudun, Schmdin6 and Sbar'
 key Agree to Terms

New York. March if P-The three leading contendcrs for the heavyweight crown discarded by Gene Tunncy have put themselves m the hands of Inc Madison Square Garden Corporation for the brie:
 elimination tourney President Bill Carey plans for next summer. Pauline Uzcudun. the Spanish fighter. came into the fold yesterday after much haggIing. and signed a contract which gives his exclusive services to the Garden for one year. X second provision in the document gave the Gard tn the right to stage the Basuue's defenses of the ',eavy- weight title for the next three years if he comes out on top in the elim- nations.
 Two other entries in the summer series. Max SchmclnS and Jack Sharkey, already have agreed to put their fistic futures into the hands Of the corporation. Schmeiing. has signed contract giving his eNclu- siNc services to the Garden and al though it's validity is not certain. it seems pronable that he will con tinue 10 carry out it's provisions when he returns from his homeland
 The contract was signed on condi- ton that the New York Garden free him from q contract signed by his German manager. Arthur Ruclow who he is trying to discard, for Il fight in Boston. The New York of-
 ficials were unable to do this. but
 Max has promised to meet the BoS- ton obligation immediately on his
 return.
 After his triumph over Young
 Strlbling at Miami Beach. Sharkey gave Carey first call on his services this summer at the same figure he received for the battle of the Ever 1000.
 The signing of Uzcudun pavcs a smooth road for the pair of pro jected elimination battles at the Yankee Stadium. the lineup. as il is now planned. is for Sharkey to meet Czcudun in the first fight. June e1 Sclmeling probably will go into action against Jimmy Maloney at Boston soon after he comes back from Germany and then draw q bye until the final scrap of the series sometime in September.
