A St. ——— ' THAT WORLD COURT, NOW. REPUBLICANS KNOW MORE. SOLD-OUT BULLS. BETTER THAN STEAM. | BY ARTHUR BRISBANE. (Copyright, 1926, by The Star Co.) The people of the United States, with several million plurality that elected President Harding and then elected sident Coolidge, do not. want the world court. x It has been said in this column re- ~peatedly that adherence to the world court, had it been suggested in 1924 or in 1920, would have been rejected by the voters by a vote as great as that against the League of Nations icself, in those years. Now, in Illinois, the voters defeat the world court proposition and Sena- tor McKinley by 150,000 votes. ‘The people are content with United States courts and do not want ques: tions affecting this nation submitted | to hostile inten They do not want to send one judge to sit with ten European judge: be outvoted 10 tp I by representati of nations that hate this country and despise it. If President Coolidge and the rest of the administration were in any doubt about the world court and the attitude of the people toward it, the; know more now than they did a we or two ago. Senator McKinley, as he says in his thetic farewell, has been sent to the United States senate for twenty years by the people of Illinois. What he doesn’t say is that he consulted a few sentimentaliats of his own in- clination, instead of consylting public opinion, when he decided to favor | world court. The vote that fetires ‘him to private life was not a vote against him personally. He is an es- timable gentleman. It was a vote against his world court attitude.
