In thnt communication the Mexican
Government ns informed that ordi

PROPOSED BENCH PART

By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Stan" CorrMiponilrnt Kvrnlnc Public l-ril
Copurioht. 1021, bv l'ubllc I.eiloer Co.
Washington, June 20. -The Lcngun
of Nations once more turn nxvkxvardly
for this country. Whut will Elihti
Root, Judge George Gray, Professor
John Bnssptt Moore nnd Oscar 8. Strau
do in reply to the ro-piest of thn
Council of the League that they nnme
two American iudges ns candidates for
election to the bench of the world court
of justice?
This request Is made to Mr. Root.
Judge Gray. Mr. Straus and Profesor
Moore not as private citizens, but as
members of The Ilnguc arbitration tri
bunal, the world court of justice beinf
reinieu unrier the pinn drafted last sum
mer to The Hague tribunal, ns well a
the Tcaguc of Nations.
President Hnrding. it is generally
helieved. eontemplntcs the use of Tho
Hague tribunal ns the basis of such
nn International court ns he proposes
to make a part of his association or
nations. But The TIngue, tribunal is
now being committed to n court which
is part of the League of Nations. t
If the four American members ofjTho
Hague tribunal suggest American can
didates for judgeship In the world
court the I'nlted States will be repre
sented In n court of international jus
tice. If they decline to do so, Mr.
Root, nt least, will be In the embnr
insslng position of refusing to carry
through to completion the plan which
he himself began last summer for the
world, and xvhich Is largely his product,
in co-operation with the British law
yer who snt with him In conference on
the creation of a court nt the request
of the League of Nations.
Embarrassing to Harding
Mr. Root's? part in drawing up tho
plans for the world court of justice wa
embarrassing to Mr. Harding and thn
Republican Party last summer. Whiin
the Republican candidate wns pro
nouncing the league to be dead and de
claring for a new association of na
tions, Mr. Root xvns in Europe at" tho
Invitation of the League, helping to
vitalize It by the creation of n court
under It. And Mr. Root is one of th
foremost Republicans, the nuthorlty of
the platform upon which Mr. Harding
xvas standing.
The Republican cnndldate disllkcl
then the position in xvhich he was
placed bv Mr. Root's activities undev
the auspices of the League that he was
denouncing. More tlufn nny other pin
gle consideration this accounted for hl
passing over Mr. Root when he came to
the selection of a Secretary of 8tnt
This request of the League, unlike
the iuvitntion In this country to send
representntives to discuss vvith the
League the terms of the mandates, doe
not come directly to the Administra
tion. But it is directed not to privato
citizens, but to repre.sentntix'cs of this
Government in The Hague Trihnnal.
Messrs. Root. Gray, Straus and Mooro
have n certain official status.
And the invitation is regular, the
world court of justice having such re
lations to Tlie Hague Tribunal thnt it
is proper to ask members of thnt
tribunal to suggest candidates for its
I bench.
j If the men to whom the invitation 11
! made ask Washington for advice, the
League xvill once more be before the
Administration, nnd this time in n par
ticularly embarrassing form, for it is
difficult to ignore an iuvitntion to tako
part in the organization of interna
tional arbitration and justice. But even
if Mr Root should take the ground
that this was properly a question for the
Administration to decide, It is not clear
that the oilier men invited xvill agree
with him.
Straus Ardently Pro-Leaguo
Mr. Straus is ardently pro-League
and fiankly dubious of the success of
any plan of Mr. Harding xvhich ignores
the existence of tlie present League.
Judge Gray is n Democrat, presumably
1 ii supporter of Mr. Wilson's and an ad
vocate of the League. John Bnssctt
Moore's position is less clear, but ho
served under Mr. Wilson as counsellor
, of the State Department.
.Mr Hoot himself inclines to the ne
of the present iA'iigue nnd covenant as
the basis of any association thnt may be
cieated, though he believes in exteuslvo
modifications in its organization.
Thus this country faces the possl
bilitv of being represented in one part
"I the League of Nations, tlie Interna
tional Court of Justice, while ignoring
the other parts of the League so com
pletely that it does not even reply to
Invitations received from it.
Tlie fact that this action Is taken by
the Council of the League, whichi the
big Powers control indicates that kven
these powers ore not waiting for f tlin
Harding Administration to develop.V
piaus ior an international nshoeintlon.
but ore eiuleuvoring to make tlie present
i.caguo niiiciion.
