P.)—Proposals for American adherence to the World Court contingent upon its disassociation of the League of Nations were char- acterized by President Coo- lidge in his ‘memorial day ad- dress at Arlington as un- worthy of Ameyican princi- ples and traditions. “If we receive anything we must surrender something,” said the President, speaking of the World Court and the stion of American mem- ship in it. “We may as well face the question candid- ly and if we are willing to as- sume these new duties in ex- change for the benefits which would accrue to us, let us say so. If we are not willing le us say that. We can accom- plish nothing by taking’ doubtful or ambiguous po tion.” The President rectly to the plan majority of the tions committee bership in. the International Justice provided — th: signatory nations agreed to dissoc iate the Court from the League, bu his declaration was taken generally to apply to that proposal, not refer ivanced by foreign re Am for Permanent Indorses Harding Plan He renewed his indorsement of the original Harding-Hughes World Court plan and said he would not oppose other reservations, but’ at the same time asserted “any material changes which would not probably receive the consent of the many other ions would be impracticable.” Warning was given by the Presi- dent against leaving the country un- defended because history has shown “there have been and will be tenden- cies of one nation to encroach on ther.” He coupled with this warning, however, the statement that he was opposed “to every kind of military ndizement and to all forms of competitive armanent,” and that America should do its part in making fast the ideal of limitation armanent by international conven= ants. Nations Foundation The President began ‘his address, delivered at the annual ceremonies in the memorial ampitheater with an analysis of the founding and guiding principles of the nation, foremost among which he found to be the ne- cessity for surrender by individvals and by the state of a portion of their rights and their sovercignity in order to obtain the benefits accruing to the organized whole. “In these days little need exists for extolling the blending of our federal union,” he continued. “It’s benefits are known and recognized by all its citizens who are worthy of serious attention. No one thinks now for attempting to destroy the union by armed force. No one eriously considers withdrawing fron it, but it is not enough that it should be free from attack—it must be ap proved and supported by a nationa spirit. Our prime allegiance must be to the whole country. A sentimen of sectionalism is not harmless be- cause it is unarmed. Resistance to the righteous authority of fedcra! laws is not innocent because it is not accompanied by secession, We need a more definite realization that all our country mut stand or fall to- gether, and that it is the duty of the government to promote the welfare of each part and the duty of the cit- izens to remember that he must be first of all an American.” For Harding Plan “I do not look upon it as a cer- tain guarantee against war, but it would be a method of disposing of troublesome questions, an accumula- tion of which leads to irritating con- ditions and results in mutually hos- tile sentiments, “More than a year ago President Harding proposed , that the Senate should authorize our adher@nce to the protocol of the Permanent Court (Continued on page 6)
