Show ilSfl AGREEMENT; !I WDRLD.GOURT Root-Phillimore Plan for High Court of Nations Being ( Considered ' THE HAGUE. June 52. (Br the ( AjiiK-iaid ProM.) Thit ronfrnc of , :ntTnaUonal JurtoU appeared to be In I a fair way today for an agreement or. th adoption of what may be called i.'.-. iiiiimiivic (Maui ivr ti iiiii n irt of nations. Thouch all armnge- ..ntK are tentative, the jlan, sub-, sub-, ritf-d by Lord Phllllmore, rrprernt- ing Grat Brlmln, at today's wlon i would give Hie league of nations coun-) coun-) rI. which la controlled by the big oowrrs. the right to narno the panel I from which the amcmbly of the league l.n which all nations will be ropraaenc--d, would choose perhaps fifteen rep- rt sentatU cf. ; The HHsernbly could accept the panel i in its entirely or in part, or reject it ind submit a panel of Its own. In fhe event of conflicts, those candidates who appeared In both panels would probably automatically bo choen. while the conference committee from the council nnd assembly would select se-lect the others. Lord Phllllmore and Ellhu Root, former American secretary of state, are in harmony. It Is said, on tho adoption of this plan, which emphasizes empha-sizes the view long held by the American Ameri-can Jurist, namely, thnt It la only oy a compromise between tho Interests of the larce and imall nations that working arrangements for tho high court can be reached. Th greatest dcsln. of the Jurists has boon to preserve, if possible, com-, plote separation of the political questions ques-tions of the large'from the abstract JusMce of the high court. The plan was submitted today only as a rougi draft and much Is required to be done before it is worked out or adopted. But the Jurists wore Inclined to trc.u It favorably. |
