The International Law Association has been holding its Conference in
Vienna. Lord Phillimore, Sir Alexander Renton, Sir Norman Hill, Sir Alfred Hopkinson and Mr. Manisty were among the British representatives; We feel very strongly that associations such as this and the International Chamber of Commerce deserve great appreciation for the work they do and for the potential services that they can render to the League of Nations and to the spirit of reason and peace throughout the world. This. Association can discuss theories and principles of law in cool detachment which might be impossible when a burning question came up at Geneva. There the principles laid down by the Association might be difficult to, discuss but, if accepted, can be applied with effect. The Conference discussed and approved a project for the formation of an International Court of Criminal Justice in which charges may be preferred by States against persons or States.
