Kellogg was presented to day to the League of Nations by the American group as a candidate for justice of the World court. The election of the former American secretary of state by the league council and assembly next month is regarded as cer tain, since he is held in high es teem as one of the authors of the Kellogg-Briand pact which an nounces war as an instrument of national policy. It is held likely also that Mr. Kellogg at the same time will be elected to complete the term left vacant by Charles Evans Hughes, who resigned to become chief jus tice of the United States. The un - expired term will be ended January 1, when the full term of nine years will begin. The American group, which is composed of Elihu Root, Newton D. Baker, Roland William Boy- den and John Bassett Moore, de layed announcement of its selec tion to a later date and it ha v d,be gun tp be feared in Geneva that it might refrain from putting forward the name of an American for the court.
