COURT OF INTERNATIONAL

JUSTICE.

"

The Haars, June 29th. The Jurists' Advisory Committee urged that prevision should be made as that purely legal cases may go automatically before the Court of International Justice, and sug gested that an immediate international conference should be recommended to the Council of the League of Nations in order to restate the principles of International Law.

It was also decided that the court should be open to all cases needing arbitration, even from States which were not members of the League.
