PRIVY COUNCIL.
Optional Clause Does Not Give Loophole. FREE STATE DISAPPOINTED. LONDON, September 24. The Free State Government is disappointed at the failure to get rid of the Privy Council's jurisdiction through the operation of the optional clause of the International Court of Justice, but it will not relax its efforts. It strongly favours the proposal of South Africa for the establishment of a special court for settlement of interEmpire disputes. Such a court would not be open to the main criticism made against the Privy Council, namely, that it is not imperially a democratic body, since it is founded by the will of. only one member of the British Commonwealth, but imposes jurisdiction on aJJ.
