GENEVA, Aug. 23.—The name of
Frank B. 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.
