ALAS A Ra pd WINNETKA TALK November 14, 1923 SEES WORLD COURT AS INSTRUMENT OF PEACE Lecturer Tells Women Voters United States Belongs in Court With Other Nations An audience of 100 women greeted Axel 'Gravem of Chicago when he spoke on "America's Entry into the World Court" before the November meeting of the Winnetka League of Women Voters Monday, November 9, at Community House. The World Court is at present the only possible instrument through which future wars may be prevented, declared- Mr. Gravem, The plan was conceived by Elihu Root when he ar- ranged for the 140 delegates who at- tended the Hague Peace Conference in 1907 to meet and elect eleven judges for deputies. This is the form of the World Court today. The confidence of the other nations in the United States was shown at that time when the very first judge to be elected was an American, the head of the depart- ment of international law at Columbia university. . Mr. Gravem maintained that the World Court had already settled dis- putes which would have resulted in warfare. As instance of this, he quoted the case of seizure by Germany of an English ship which entered the Keil canal. The World Court decided that the Keil Canal must be open to all. nations and demanded that Ger- many releasé the English ship at once. Germany conceded. As a second in- stance he quoted the case of the im- mediate withdrawal of the Grecian troops from Bulgaria when the Court demanded 'that this action be taken within 48 hours. This instance oc- curred only last week. Can't Stand Aloof That the United States must main- tain its aloofness' from foreign mat- ters and that it should be guaranteed a representation on the judges' tri- bunal are, said Mr. Gravem, the chief objections of the opponents of the entry of the United States into the World . Court. .These opponents are headed by Capper, Lenroot, and Borah. But Mr. Gravem would an- swer these objections as follows: that it is impossible for any nation to be aloof from, and independent of, all the others m this day of rapid communi- cation and international trade and rapid transportation and * that with fifty-four nations in. the court, it is || obviously impossible to have them all represented on the tribunal. The Hughes amendments which are now under consideration by Coolidge are, in brief, that the United States should have a voice in the election of the judges, that the senate should ratify the election, and that the United States should share in the expenses of the Court. These amendments, de- clared Mr. Gravem, should remove all possible objections to the United States entering the World Court. Mr. Gravem is at present lecturing on legal history at Northwestern uni- versity. He was awarded the degree of A'B., A. C. L., and M. A. by Ox- ford university and worked for several vears in Vienna and in Russia with Hoover. Mr. Gravem was introduced by Mrs. William Hale, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the Winnetka League of Women Voters. Mrs. Walter Benson, president of the league, conducted the business meeting. The resignation of Mrs. Donald McPherson as vice-president was accepted, and Mrs. John Vander Vries elected in her place. Mrs. Gross Williams was elected to take the place of Mrs. Vander Vries as cor- responding secretary.
