Fosdick, an American under-secretary, so that the league will be in readi ness to function at its first" meet ing to be called in Washington. vThe date of this meeting is unde cided. ' Colonel E. M. House and Lord Robert Cecil and other members of the Organization Committee of the League have been taking part in the preliminary organiza tion work. The Organization Committee already has adopted a resolution contemplating . that member states may assign some of their own officials for service under the League and has recommend ed that "the governments of states members of the League shall take into consideration the services of their officials in the International Secretariat." In preparatory work for the foundation for the International Court of Justice, the committee is understood to have arrived at the opinion that it would be de sirable to invite a number of em inent international jurists to give their opinions on the consti tution of sucli a court, and has voted to take up the question in detail at some subseqquent meet ings. The action of the committee is said to indicate that the work of ' organizing such a court will be carried forward from the point where it was started by the United States at The Hague 12 vears ago, when Elihu Root, then Secretary of State, in his instruc tions t othe American delegates charged them to work for the creation of aiv international court about twoce the size in member ship of the Supreme Court of the United States.
