Only Three Reservations Made in Adoption of Vote - LabOrites Force Election Issue Through House of Commons.

London, Jan. 2S.-(P-Great Britain today subordinated itself to compulsory jurisdiction of the per manent court of international jus ticc, known as the world court, and was pledged 10 accept summons be- fore that tribunal at the bchcSt ol any other national member.
 Fulfilling a pledge made prior to the general election the labor gov crnmcnt Of Ramsay Macdonald in a night session of the commons forced through ratification of the optional clause of the court against stiff tory opposition by vote of 27S to 9$. The Aaborites had the sup port of the liberals
 Only Three Reservations
 There are only three reservations to the British adherence. First, that disputes with other members of the British commonwealth of nations are not affected; second, that dis putcs about matters within the do- nestle jurisdiction Of the state shall not reach the court; and, third, that the tribunal may not con- sider disputes for the submission of which to some other method of peaceful settlement provision al- ready has been made in existing, or will be made by future agreement. An amendment offered by Sir | Austen Chamberlain, former con- ! scrVativc foreign secretary, which would have made the reservation that in carrying out any work for | the league of nations the British | navy should be subject only to | British maritime law, was rejected by the same vote. Sir Austen said that the labor government itself in 1924 had insisted on necessity of i this reservation and that the situa- tion had changed in no essential since.
 Mentions American stand
 Sir Austen twitted Arthur Hen derson, present foreign secretary. that the United States had not as sumed full obligations in connection with either the league of nations or the world court, and he also men, toned the absence of Russia as a signatory to the optional clause.
 The conservative leader declared that the British navy was powerful in d just cause. and was necessary for the attainment of peace, assert ing that Great Britain was mari- time nation which would not abuse that power, but which needed it for it's own protection and for the sa;e- ty of the world
 'l say that the exercise of these maritime rights in war is not a fit subject for the jurisdiction Of the

 Basis Now Different
 Mir. Henderson. in moving ratifi- cation declared that the situation now in fact, was on a totally differ ent basis than in 1924, owing 10 the pact of Paris outlawing war, and the read adjustment of national rela- tionships accordingly.
 The optional clause confcrs great advantages on the British govern ment," said Mr. Henderson, ''which regards the acceptance of it as the logical consequence of our commit mcnts to the Paris peace pact. It Is only by such measures as general ac- ccptance of the obligations 10 accept impartial arbitration, that members of the league can give real life to the Paris pact.'

YiennSe Journalist Says They
Love Independence

New York, May 92 (UP)-Ameri-
can women, according to one of their
latest kindly critics, Alice Schalek,
Niennese newspaper woman. have
only one Observation-Disclosures"
Miss Schalek, one of the most
widely Travelled Of European women
Journalists told the United Press to-
day that the idea OF independence
vas the predominant note in fem

found thatAmcrican business women
are firmly convinced in their own
minds that they are happier without
men"
On her present visit. after Is
years absence, Miss Schalck. a writer
for the United Neue Freie Press, met
hundreds OF women, particularly
women in business.
"All of them" she said. declare,
Il love my work; I love my indie
pendence; I feel free and don't want
to- be tied down. l don't want to
I'm going and why-l had better
stay away from men and be my own
boss"
She said she could scarcely escape
the conclusion that the women
meant what they said when they de-
clarcd themselves happy without
men. She was likewise impressed
by the camaraderie between girls
and older. mountaineering she
said one would scarcely encounter
in Europe.
IN America" she said, women
try to- help one another. At home

MCDONALD CABINET
BATTLES FOR LIFE
May Ask Confidence Vote Oh
Unemployment Action

London, May 90 tPt-The ministry
OF j. Ramsay Macdonald, second
labor government in the history of
Great Britain, eirded itself today for
what was hailed as a battle for its
existence.
Il was expected that at a meeting
Of the parliamentary labor party
this evening the prime minister
would ask for a vote Of confidence
in the ministry's ployment
program and that failing to obtain
it, he probably would give notice of
asking King George to dissolve
parliament and will the question TO
the country.
The situation is the outgrowth of
resignation of Sir Oswald Mosley,
labor convert from conservative and
Independent ranks, as chancellor of
the Duchy of Lancaster. after Mr..
Mcdonald and the ministry had
failed to endorse plans of Sir Os-
valid for the handling of unemploy-
ment:
The resignation OF the minister
has brought to head the long
standing dissatisfaction with the
governments failure to decrease the
number of men without Jobs and
materially to better conditions
among them. AS strong as is this
dissatisfaction among the ranks of
the opposition it has reached some
thing like mutiny among the left
wing members of the labor party
itself.
Think Macdonald Will Win
1t was believed in government
circles that the parliamentarians
meeting tonight would give Mr..
Macdonald the vote OF confidence
he will request, since going TO the
country in q general election under
the cloud of the unemployment dis
cussion would greatly lessen the
partH's chances at the polls.
But, assuming that the govern
ment gets safely over tonight's hur-
die, il has another big fence to clear
next Wednesday when the unem-
pToyment problem is to be discussed
on the conservative motion to re-
duce the salary of J. H. Thomas,

employment, this being the tradi-
tional method OF calling to account
