tribunal. according to the Root
Formula" The election OF the
judges. however. Is by a majority
vote OF the assembly and the coun-

body meeting separately.
Meeting each year In June, the
World court considers cases only
with the consent OF both parties
or nations-concerne Requiring
It's attention are matters such as
interpretations of treaties. matters
OF International law. and the exist

The United States. although II

bunal and although the World
court was suggested by an Ameri-
can, has never become member OF
the World court In January. 1926.
the senate voted TO become a mem
Der OF the World court If the mem
Der nations would accept the fol
lowing provisions: (a) Adherence
to the court should not involve any
legal relation on the part of the
United States TO the League OF Ma
tlons. (b) The United States
would pay fair share of the ex-
penses Of the court as fixed by con
gress. (c) The United States must
have an equal voice with the other
nations In the selection of judges
(d) The United States must be
privileged TO withdraw from the
court at any time, and the statute
of the court should not be amend
ed without our consent. (e) All
opinions of the court must be an
nounced publicly. and only after
due notice has been given all mem

In September, 1926. the fifth Of
these reservations was, as might
have been expected, rejected by the
representative Of the member ma

P plank in the platf rms of both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties. In the following year Elihu
Root was sent to Europe to confer
with a committee of jurists which
was revising the original statute
of the World court Mr.. Root de-
vised a plan for the entry of the
United States which was acceptable
70 all the member nations. The
Root Formula. as 1t has been called
ever since, was the subject Of
praise from the then President
Hoover. who Included II in his first
annual message to congress In 1929.

urging that the United states be
come a member.
The Root Formula, which is still
the article by which the proponents
Of the World court hope 10 secure
the entry of the United States, was
Of course devised TO get around the
Objectionable fifth section of the
original provisions for American
membership. These are the chief
points Of the Root Formula, which
is still being cited as desirable
when there are discussions Of this
country's entry: (a) II the United
yolyed In a dispute with another
nation, the matter cannot be
brought before the World court
without our consent, even for the
purpose of securing from the court
an advisory opinion" (b) The
secretary general OF the League OF
Nations shall inform the United
States of any proposal for obtain
ing an advisory opinion Of the court
which is pending before the coun-
ell or assembly of the league, with
n view TO exchanging views be-
tween the council or the assembly
and the United States as 10 wheth-
or an interest of the United States
Is involved. tc) In the event that
the court Is asked for an advisory
opinion and the United States OBJ
jects 10 any such opinion being
given by the court, Americas objec-
tIon should have attributed TO II
the same force that would obtain TO
a vote against asking for the opin-
ion given by member OF the cOun-
Gil or assembly. II the majority Of
the court should insist on the opin-
ion being given. however. the United
States can withdraw from the World
court at once without any imputa-
ton OF unfriendliness or unwilling
ness to cooperate generally for
peace or goodwill" So apt was the
Root Formula considered that II Is

Two things which have hampered
the work of the league since its
origin have been the absence of two
of the greatest powers, namely the
United States and Russia. Japan,
it is true, has left the league. but
