By action of the league but under a statute and protocol separately signed by Over fifty states not All of whom Are league members. It thus owes its existence to the Independent authority of those signatory objection removed disclosing the question of advisory opinions or. Stimson expressed the belief that a the dangers which seemed to inhere the rendering of advisory opinions by the court at the time the question was last presented to this government 1926 have now been entirely removed both by the action of the court itself and by the provisions of these new protocols. The Secretary said the world situation had so vitally changed since 1926 that the court Wras More important than Ever before adding that practically All of the nations of the world had by adhering to the general pact for the renunciation of War agreed to Settle their differences by Pacific Means. A by this event not Only has the need of developing judicial Means instead of War to Settle the inevitable controversies Between nations become More pressing but it has become even More important to establish and clarify the standards and rules of the International conduct by which such controversies can be prevented or minimized a he continued.
