6 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER them at the time. If they fail, or the agreement has been reached, these special arbitrators are dismissed, and if there is another dispute between the same two nations, another set of men must be ap- pointed to arbitrate it. This is an advance because it called in men from nations other than the parties in dispute. The third advance has been for several natfons to make a common treaty in which the makers agree to arbitrate the disputes that are classified in the treaties, through a special list of arbitrators from which to form courts for that purpose. This is an advance because it required the estab- lishment of the Hague Tribunal. Before the formation of the Hague Tribunal, when two nations really wanted to arbitrate a dispute, they had at hand no agency ready, able, and authorized to undertake the task. The nation had to sperd time and good-nature trying to agtee upon the time, the place, and the personnel of arbitration, and sometimes in doing so they greatly involved the quarrel at hand. The fourth and last development is to have a hard and fast agreement to submit all classified disputes to a definite court, composed of a definite number of em- inent jurists, who are duly elected by all the nationsg a court located at a definite place and always ready, and that does nothing else but settle disputes brought before it, and whose opinion shall be final. That is the World Court. Three World Institutions for Arbitra- tion-Out of the conferences of 1899 and 1907 the Hague Tribunal was formed. Each of the nations involved in this agree- ment was to appoint four recognized in- ternational lawyem from among its citi- zens. From this standing list any two na- tions in dispute may select five men, who go to the Hague and hear and decide up- on the case. The Hague Tribunal was the first world institution for arbitration and is very important to the World Court because it nominates the judges for that Court. The League of Nations is the second permanent institution and is the second step in the operations of the World Court as its members elect the judges of that Court. The Covenant of the League of Na- tions recommended the creation of a World Court: so in 1920, the League Council appointed ten eminent jurists from ten n-ations to draw up the plan for the Court and Elihu Root was the jurist chosen from the United States. These jurists drafted a plan and submitted it to the League of Nations: it was approved in October, 1920. Although the plan was approved by the nations in the League, it was necessary that a sufficient number of Nations, irrespective of whether or not they were members of the League, should sign a distinct treaty agreeing to adhere to the Court and to come under its juris- diction. This treaty attached to the Con- stitution of the Courtnis called the World Court Protocol. This Protocol makes it possible that a nation in the League nmy not adhere to the Court and that a nation not in the League may adhere to it. The preliminary steps of nominating and electfng were taken, so that on jan- uary 30, 1922, the World Court met for the first time.
