In January, 1926. the Senate voted that the United States should adhere to the World Court subject to five reservations. The 6th reservation (dealing with advisory opinions) has caused much argument and woe re- ieeted by the other notions, Mrs. Lunde said that when the League of Nations has a dispute, and is not sure of the law, it submits the question to the court for a legs] opinion. The United States felt that tt11'Mviirorr opinions should be public, and in feet revisions last summer have made pub. lie hearings part of the court Ma. tute. The United States also consid- ered, Mrs. Lunde continued, that it should be given the power of veto over anything where it clnimed on interest; This oppesred to givejhe United States trrtt'qaaottable power end the other nations objected. Root Formul- A year ego Inother- committee met,) end Mr. Root presented the "Rootl Formula which is a compromise of Reservation 5. This We; accepted In 1907 at another Hustle confer- ence, the United States" 'delegues again attempted to plan a World Court, but no agreement could be reached on the election of judges, so the plan was laid aside. The Permanent Court of Interna- tional Justice was finally established in 1921. The plan wag much like that of 1907, and Mrs. Elihu Root was one of the committee " the Hague. The court consists of 15 judges nominated by the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the “Hague Court," of which the United States is a member, and elected by the coun- cil and assembly of the League of Nations. The United States will share in this election if it goes into the court. Its expenses Ire pro-rated among the states which belong to it. Its procedure is similiar to that of the Supreme Court of the United States, except that it has eompulsory Jurisdiction only when the member states have expressly agreed to it. it holds regular annual and extra sessions at the Hague. Fifty-four states have Joined the court. Going back to the first Hague con- ference in 1899, Mrs. Lunde said. that at that time the delegates from the United States carried A plan for a World Court based on their own Su- preme Court. Europeans were not ready to accept this, but the Hague Court was finally formed, which was not so much a court as a panel of jurors These men were selected for their knowledge of international law. The United States was the flrst to try the Court when a dispute with Mexico was submitted. and settled successfully. There seemed no way however, of building up a body of precedent as the judges " trim veach nation concerned and a 5th from the panel,) were always different. Women Voters are_not sponsored hostily, Mrs. Lunde pointed out. They are studied” from all angles for at least two years (sometimes four or sjx years) before the Nltlonll con- vention approves them. The league his been working for the World Ccurt since 1926. LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS HEARS TALK Thursday, March 27, 1980 (Continued from page 4) and lined at Gene" in September..
