British Empire May Join World Court at Macdonald's Request LONDON, June 25.Irhportant negotiations affect- 5BS !Sd the gUrnrnt t" ing Empire affairs are' reported to have beea indicated agreement on the signing of an optional clause of world court statutes under which questions of international law would be submitted to a permanent court of international justice at the Hague. The Labor-newspaper, the Daily Herald today said the Government had also informed the Dominion Govern- Iments it proposes to resume diplomatic relations with JWUOOIU. Australia hitherto was the only Dominion reluctant to sign the optional clause of the world court statutes and it is understood this reluctance has now been removed to a great extent. In any event, Premier Macdonald is hopeful of being able to show complete Empire agreement on joining the world court when he visits the League of Nations assembly in September.
