JURISTS NOT AGREED
DOMINIONS AND COURT (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11 a.m. GENEVA, Tuesday. The committee of jurists has not. reached an agreement on Sir Cecil Hurst’s suggestion that Dominion judges should be entitled to sit on the International Court. It expressed the opinion that the desired interpretation exceeded its mandate. It had been suggested by Sir Cecil Hurst that judges belonging to the same nationality as each disputant should he present on the court. He said several of the autonomous British Dominions, with separate memberships of the League, were 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 England judge was on the court.
