DOMINION’S STATUS
BRITAIN AND WORLD COURT (Australian and KT.Z. Press Association) ( United Ser vice) GENEVA, Saturday. Sir Cecil Hurst, legal adviser to the British Foreign Office, and Mr. Elihu Root, representing the United Staes, are preparing a report for submission to the Council of the League of Nations in June regarding the entrance of America to the international Court of Justice.
It has been suggested by Sir Cecil that judges belonging to the same nationality as each disputant should be present on the Court. He says several of the autonomous British Dominions with separate memberships of the League are rapidly developing their own national citizenship. If a case involving Canada were before the Court a Canadian judge should not be prevented from sitting on the Bench because an Ehiglfsh judge was on the Court.
