court of justice with reservations
was upheld today by the sub-committee
of the league of nationos
assembly which will report its
? findings "tot the full judicial com

This decision means that not
only Great Britain but any. other
state which subscribed to the ob
ligatory arbitration clause, has a
t perfect right to make whatever
reserratlons it chooses. The inn

this decision in principle at least

Makes-Stand Clear
Great Britain: made it clear to
J day i that' her reservation would
affect only the fourth category, of
juridicial matters open to compul
sory arbitration by the court.
i This category J refers to arbitra
tion of all points of international
law aad the ' British . representa
tives indicated that they would
confine their reservations to ques
tions of maritime law which, may
be raised by some power In conse
quence of some; action by the
British fleet while performing a
peace service for the league of

In other words. Great Britain
does not intend to have her Inter

obligatory arbitration.

Although today's decision marks
a distinct advanee in the work of
the commissions, the jurists laid
specnal emphasis on the fact that
It ! might lead to reservationos in
other ! categories . of judicial dis
putes, including the interpretation
of treaties. - t
Lord. Pajrmoor of Great Britain
was i assailed by journalists of
many countries tonight with ques
tions concerning the effect of the
British reservations on British
relations with the United States in
case of any future differences Over
the Interpretation of sea law. He
got around all the questions by
saying that, however embarrassing
it might be, the fact - remained
that, the .United States was not a
member of the league 'of nations
This being so, , he added, any
possible dispute between Great
Britain and the United States arts
Ing out.of captures of vessels at
sea would be settled' through the
