Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Texts Illustrating the Constitution of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Permament Court of International Justice
I have chosen as the subject of these lectures a comparison between the Supreme Court of the United States and the Permanent Court of International Justice. I have made this choice Because such a comparison appears to me to afford an object-lesson of supreme value at the present moment.
Owing to our insularity, which is both a virtue and a vice, we are, perhaps, the most prone of all nations to ignore or reject the experience of other communities, even if they happen to be Of our own race.
Now the origin and history of the Supreme Court present us with a study in international organisation which has proved most fruitful in the various attempts which have been made to establish International Arbitral Tribunals and International Courts of Justice. It is a study from which one rises with a confident belief in the future success of the Permanent Court of International Justice.
