States plan for court adherence should
not be interpreted as showing any
change in the American position to
ward the nations of the League, and
declared by the fifth reservation
whereby the United States demands
the right of consent to delivering
court advisory. The question in which
it claims an interest is virtually a
command to the court, “That you shall
not do thus and so. That is going too
far for a country which is outside of
the League.”
The S. S. Alaska, Capt. J. G. Nord,
commanding, arrived in port yesterday
afternoon at 3:30 from the south.
