INTO WORLD COURT
Eight States Refuse to Ratify
Hague Protocol of Sep

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
GENEVA, Switzerland, October 81
The reluctance of eight states-six of
them Latin and South American-to
ratify The Hague court protocol of
September IA. 1929. before Washington
has signed on the dotted line may keep
the United States from being a full
member of the world tribunal for some
time after the Senate has finally given
its approval.
communication" from Secretary
General Sir Eric Drummond of the
League Of Nations to the Council and
Assembly reveals that. despite repeated
overtures, and some diplomatic pressure,
8 out Of the 48 states members of The
Hague Court still persist in not ratify-
ing the protocol Of September IA. 1929.
under which an effort was made to
meet the maximum demands of the
American Senate.
Anticipating that the Senate will at
last ratify the protocol during its lame
duck session in December. the League
is again making determined effort to
obtain by that time, the unanimous
acceptance by all the courts members.
of the revised protocol That this will
be obtained is doubtful. since the in
transigeant states have already had
more than three years in which to carry
out purely routine matp~
Consequently. as matters stand, Wash
1ngton can ratify the courts revised
protocol and still not be full-f1edged
member-unleSS she chooses to accept
the original protocol of December Is,
1920-until such a time as the de-
linquent members are ready to act. 1t
is pointed out that the court, legally, is
operating under the original statutes
at the present time.
Senate Conditions Met.
The protocol of September IA. 1929,
was the second effort of the League to
meet what many states still consider
unjustified conditions" exacted in ad-
vance by the American Senate as the
price of membership. The first con-
ceSsions, negotiated by Elihu Root, had
proved futile, the Senate backing down
after the hypothetical issue of advisory
opinions" had been adjusted supposedly
in conformity with American suscepti-
bilities. Stung to the quick by American
hesitancy and indecision. many men,
bers of the court were against further
tinkering with the statutes. They rea-
soned that it would be better to have
the United States remain completely
outside of The Hague than to weaken
the prestige of the tribunal.
However. under the guise of making
certain changes in the statutes increas-
ing the number of judges, etc, the
courts protocol was again revamped,
and the new conditions demanded by
the American Senate were incorporated.
Now after three years have passed, and
America still holds aloof, 40 states have
finally ratified the new statutes.
Realizing that some states would be
inclined to hold back. simply as a ges-
ture of indifference as to whether the
United States joined or not, the protocol
was originally designed to come into
force on September /. 1880, regardless
of the number of delinquent ratiflca
tions, provided that the Council Of the

which perhaps will continue to with
hold their approval of the new protocol
until Washington has ofacially ratified

zuela, Brazil, Chile, Lithuani1 and

New York, July 28.-tP)-The re-
born bullish enthusiasm in the Sc
curities markets showed no sign OF

swept forward again, spurred on by

ther gains in wheat and cotton.
Virtually all groups of shares forged
ahead, after a few waves of active
profit taking had been absorbed in
the morning. Gains by early after
noon ranged from to S points in
many Of the leaders. Shorts were
squeezed in such issues as American
Telephone and Union Pacific. Brok-
ers reported buying from London,
Paris, and many cities in the inte-
rior. Trading was the most active
since February in the first two hours.
A number of shares sagged frac-
lions to a point in the early profit
taking, but these declines were short
lived. Advances of to points ap-
peared in such issues as Allied Chem
ical, American Telephone, Santa Fe,
Union Pacific, Norfolk &, Western,
and Delaware & Hudson. Issues up

ferred, Coca Cola, DUPONT, Console
dated Gas and Southern Pacific, and

eral Motors. Oils were somewhat
tardy in joining the move.
The turnover swelled to some 2,700,-

active sessions since last December.
