1 From the United States, Philip Jessup, Myres McDougal, Willis Reese, Oscar Schachter and the writer were in attendance. United States membership has declined with the resignations of Elliott Cheatham, Green Hackworth and Josef Kunz, and the death of Quincy Wright. There is a wealth of international law talent in the United States but the current tendency in the Institut is against electing two candidates from the same country at the same session.

The Institut also adopted two resolutions on matters of private international law which are not discussed in this note: Le contrat de commission de transport en droit international privé (Léon Babinski, Rapporteur) and Les conflits de lois en matière de droit du travail (Etienne Szászy, Rapporteur).
