Emerson McMillin discussed the composition of “The World Court.” He would not brook the thought that there was not patent and paramount need for such an institutional tribunal. The necessity for an International Court was so obvious that it was not a subject for discussion. The delegates of forty-five states would not have supported it at the Hague Conference if there had not been a great desire and a growing demand for it. He called attention, in his warm advocacy for the establishment of the Court, to the records of the two Hague Conferences. In 1899 it was but necessary to suggest the creation of a World’s Court to have it promptly put aside as impracticable. After a lapse of but eight years the 1907 Conference adopted the following: “The Conference recommends to the signatory powers the adoption of the project hereunto annexed of a convention for the establishment of a Court of Arbitral Justice and its putting in effect, as soon as an accord shall be reached upon the choice of the judges and the constitution of the court.” This received the unanimous support of all the conferees. In a logical appeal for such a court, U. S. Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, presented some startling facts. “My friends,” he said, “the other day the Cleveland _Plain Dealer_ said, editorially, that according to the best estimates up to date there had been lost in this horrible war, 5,970,000 men. Think of it. In the great State of Ohio, which Senator Harding and I have the honor to represent, according to the last Federal census there were only 4,700,000 souls, men, women, and children. To-day there are, perhaps about 5,000,000 souls in Ohio. In other words, in the short space of about eight or nine months, nearly one million more men have been lost than we have men, women, and children in Ohio, all because the heads of governments are worshipping old Mars.” Thomas Raeburn White presented to the Congress a series of technical provisions for the appointment of judges to the International Court of Arbitration. They could be easily surmounted, however, he thought, and in an address on “The Method of Procedure,” the Hon. James Brown Scott declared that great as these difficulties were in the selection of judges, they were not insuperable. President Harry A. Garfield, of Williams College, in a discussion on “The Minimum Number of Nations Required to Successfully Inaugurate the Court,” thought that four of the great powers would suffice for an inaugural. He called attention to the fact that Mr. Thomas Raeburn White, speaking at the third national conference of the American Society for Judicial Settlement of International Disputes in December, 1912, analyzed the articles of the convention providing for the establishment of the court and showed that the question was clearly left to the Powers represented at the conference, and could be adopted by any two or more of them when they saw fit. There appears to be no serious dissent from this proposition.
