ON Dry Law Report.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Wickersham of the Law
Enforcement Commission last night
criticized failure Of the United States
to adhere to the World Court as o
striking example of a great tagging
on our part"
In his first public statement since the
commission completed its much-dis-
cussed dry law report, Wickersham said
nothing whatever about prohibition. He
addressed the annual dinner of the
George washington University Law
School.
The energetic, T2-year-old former
Attorney General devoted much of his
paper to an explanation of the techni-
calities arising under the five reserva-
tons to American adherence, voted by
the Senate in 1926. He dealt particu-
larly with the fifth, containing Senate
restrictions to advisory opinions" by
the court.
Is Last Obstacle.
"All this pother over advisory opin-
IONS" Wickersham said, "is the last OBJ
stacle in the way Of full American rec
ognition of this great court, which
largely Is the product of the genius of
our own statesmen, and the fulhllment
of recommendations made by seven
Presidents and five Secretaries of State
of the United States"
The Senate's five provisions, voted
five years ago, have been embodied in q
protocol supplemental to the original
protocol OF the Court. This has been
accepted by President Hoover and Is
now before the Senate.
THE sum and substance of the mat
ter therefore is this" Wickersham ex-
planned. Under the fifth reservation,
accepted by the signatories, If the

ject CT the inquiry, and Is unwilling
that the court should act on the request,

Is required, objection by the United
States would end the matter"
The commission chairman said the
United States had made "prodigious
start" toward the abolition of war by
accepting the terms of the pact Of
Paris. He added, 1T surely cannot af-
ford longer to hesitate at the approval
and acceptance of such a judicial tri-
