CHOATE WING LONG FIGHT
American Proposal for Interna®
tional Court Approved.
FIXED SALARY FOR JUDGES
¥n Addition to the: Regular Salary
They Are Also to Be Paid
by the Day.
Jos. ¥. Choate, one of the United
States delegates to the peace confer-
ence, who is credited. with the state-.
ment that he would not leave The
Hague until his pet project for the
creation of a permanent international
high court of justice had become an
accomplished fact, at a meeting of
the examining committee under the
presidency of M. Bourgeois, which is
dealing with this matter had the sat:
isfaction of securing approval for the
entire project, with the exception of
the paragraph referring to the allot-
ment of judges.
Choate’s appeal resulted in the ap-
pointment of a committee, on which
Choate. and James Brown Scott, an-
other United States delegate, were
named, to examine the question of
the allotment of judges. This com-
mittee will meet next Tuesday.
It has been decided that the judges |

of the court are to be paid a
salary of $2,400 a year and in
tion “$40 a day while sitting on
court. The court will be called
Court of Arvbitral Justice.
In a powerful speech Mr. Choate
urged the committee not to permit
its differences on ‘the allotment of
judges to interfere with the solemn
duty devolving upon it of satisfying
either permanently or provisionally
the universal demand for the
lishment of such a court.
“It would be igznominious in
1ast degree for us to confess our
ability to discharge this duty,”
€hoate declared.
Hea suggested a number
tions for the Aiffienlty regarding
judges, including a proposal for the
election of judges by the whole con-
ference voting by States, each State
exercising absolute equality. He
maintained that this method would
assure equality of sovereignty as well
as equality in all other respects. Each
nation would take its. chance, he
said, of a successful canvass.
Mr. Choate then mentioned a long
Tist of jurists of world-wide renown
included among the delegates to the
present conference from among
whom there: might easily be formed
a court ‘which would command the
confidence and admiration of the en-
tire world.
“Speaking. for the United
Mr. Choate continued, “I would be
perfectly willing to entrust the for-
tunes of the court and the success
of the conference in creating. it to
the result of such an election. So
sure am I that the establishment of
this court would be a great triumph
for civilization and justice, and an
effectual guarantee for the peace of
the world, that 1 urge with all earn-

setting on fire by the strikers, with
the use of petroleum, of another lum-

firemen, reinforced by troops, to ex-

The strikers set fire to two other

In spite of the assistance rendered
