V THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 29, 192C; OUTLINE PLAN FOR FORMATION OF WORLD COURT Ideas Submitted to League Of Nations Council at San Sebastian Received in , Washington. iAictf Trihunc-Omat 1W IhmiI Wire, Washington, Aug. 28. An outline has been received here of thq, plan for the formation of a permanent court of international justice, draw.-1 by the jurists' advisory committet appointed by the council of the league of nations and submitted to the council of the league at its ses sions at San Sebastian. In addition to its great interna tional importance, the plan lias a marked bearing on the domestic po litical situation iti the United States. From the immediate American standpoint, it derives its chief In terest in the fact that Elihu Root, who was a member of the jurists' advisory commitee, is expected to submit the plan for a permanent court of international justice to Sen ator Harding for the latter's accep tance as embodying the republican scheme for the prevention of war between nations in place of the direct political machinery of the league of nations.'' There have been hints from Mar ion and elsewhere that "the Root ptan," as it has been termed, would be put forward by Mr. Harding in opposition to the league provisions for maintaining the peace of the world. Mr. Harding's virtual prom ise to remake the whole structure of the foreign policy of the United States is supposed to find its basis in the plan for the establishment of an international court. The plan outlined by the jurists' advisory committee of the. council of the league of nations was drafted at The Hague in the period between June 16 and July 24. It provides for a continuance of the present perma nent court of arbitral justice and for the establishment of a permanent court of international justice, direct ed to be formed by the covenant of the league of nations. Briefly the permanent court of in ternational justice is to consist of 11 judges and four alternate judges. These are to serve for nine years. The court is to sit permanently at The Hague, the purpose of the per manent sitting being that the tribu nal shall always be ready to deter mine causes arising between gov ernments where questions strictly of a legal nature are concerned. - The permanent court of arbitral justice is to be continued as a body tions. The judges of the permanent court of arbitral justice are to nomi nate the judges of the permanent court of international justicevhoM sittings shall also be at The Hague, Subpoena Britten to Prove Charges Before Campaign Probe Body Chicago, Aug. 28.

James Martin Miller, former United Stales consul g'eneral to New Zealand, Friday sent a letter to Chairman Kenyon of the senate investigating committee ask ing the committee look into the cam paign finances and methods of the minor political parties as well as of the republicans and democrats. "The socialist party is raising a fund larger than ever before," said the letter in part, "and the Non partisan league is raising enormous sums for propaganda and political campaign purposes and the farmer labor party also is raising a cam paign fund. "The socialists are great schemers and it has been persistently reported that they are financed by the bol sheviki in Russia. This report should be investigated. Some years ago this party sent Simon W. Uren, a lifelong socialist, to Oregon to join the republican party and socialize it from within. He inspired the writ ing of the Oregon state republican J platform and was praised by repub licans for it. In reality he was a spy and this work was considered by the socialists as one of their great-1 est coups.". t British Ask Apology For Insult to Their Anthem at Olympiad By The AMoeitttd Pre... f Antwerp, Aug. 28.
