WORLD-ORGANIZATION AFTER THE WORLD-WAR 727 
of Commercial Industries, whose functions should relate to imports 
and exports. The directors of both classes should represent the 
interests of the respective nations by whose delegates they were 
chosen, and should have the voting power of those nations. The 
conferring of voting power by proxy should be recognized. 
The functions of the directorate would be to carry into effect 
all the purposes of the Confederation in essentially the same way 
that the directors of a corporation earry out its purposes. The 
specific powers conferred on the directorate should have similar 
range and fulness. 
For the judiciary of the Confederation it is suggested that there 
be four courts, (1) a Court of Inquiry, whose functions shall be the 
determination of the facts in the cases submitted in as scientific a 
spirit and in as thoroughgoing a way as possible, and to report its 
findings to the second court, (2) a Court of Decision, whose func- 
tion shall be to decide on the equities and the legal aspects of the 
cases brought before it, on the basis of the facts submitted by the 
Court of Inquiry, but it should have the power to remand any case 
for further investigation or to institute investigation on its own 
behalf; (3) a Court of Appeals, with the function implied by its 
name; and (4) a Court of Arbitration or Conciliation, to aid in 
settling controversies without formal trial. This last would often 
consist of special courts formed by the agreement of the parties in 
controversy for the arbitration of given cases. 
The judges in these courts should, if a practicable scheme can 
be found, be appointed by the Supreme Courts of the constituent 
nations, co-operating on the proportionate basis that runs through 
the whole scheme. No two judges in any of these courts should 
be appointed from the same nation.
