Again the adherence of the United States to the World Court has become an active issue. Had it not been for the difficulties created by the practice of the Court in giving advisory opinions to the Council of the League of Nations, the United States would doubtless have joined the Court in 1926. The Senate was suspicious of the whole procedure in regard to advisory opinions. It had been made so by the proceedings in the Eastern Carelia case, where the Council censured the Court, and by numerous incidents involving the relations between the two bodies.
