THE HAGUE CONFERENCE
LONDON, January 7. A Blue Book dealing with The Hague Conference shows that Sir Edward Grey's latest despatch expresses the Government's satisfaction at the recognition in principle of the need of an International Court of Appeal in prize matters, but many difficulties remain to be overcome before such a court can become effective. feir Edward Fry complains that the conference's machinery is extremely dilatory and confusing, and refers to the possibility of small, backward States claiming equality with the most powerful and enlightened Governments. He adds that if such claims are persisted in it may drive the greater Powers to act in many cases by themselves.
