Casprr Sunday VOLUME 32. HARDING TAKE S STEP TO REVIVE LEAGUE BODY IN U. 5. CONGRESS To Ratify Treaty of In- ternational Tribunal. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24,.—Prest- dent Harding today asked the senate to approve American participation in the permanent court of international justice. Taking tho senate, occupied as it was with the ship subsidy filibuster, completely by surprise, Mr. Harding requested consent, before the end of President Requests Body the present session, to ratification or the protocol of the international tri- bunal set up by the League of Na- tions to settle disputes between na- tions. The president’s message, with an accompanying letter from Secretary of State Hughes, was read to the sen- ate in an’ exclusive segilon behind closed doors and was referred to the foreign relations committee. Apparently reatlzing this step X\omight revive the old League of Na- “Nions fight inasmuch as the court ob- tains its power from the Woodrow Wilson league covenant which the senate failed to ratify, Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes both stressed that senatorial approyal of the ‘tribunals protocol would not involve any legal relation or assumption of obligation towards the league. ‘They expressed thelr willingness to have this stated in one of four suggested reservations to the ratification of the protocol. At an early hour tonight it appear- 00 doubiful jf administration, leaders could fores action by the senate in the one week of the present session re- maining, ‘The general opinion seemed to be that the question of full fledged American participation wes one of too great importance te be passed upon in such a short time. It was pparent that the request was not neceptable to some of the bitter foes to the League of Nations, but the message came as such a surprise that Jeading senators withheld comment until they could study it more fully. ‘Some Democrats who supported Wil- son claimed it was a definite step toward entrance in the leagus. Some of the “irreconcilables” in the league fight indicated privately they would oppose the request. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, leader of the fight against the league in 1919, is understood to have assured the president of his support. The foreign relations committee 1s ex- pected to consider the matter ‘Tue; day i What has happened behind the scenes in recent months to cause the president to take today’s step was not revealed. The court has a pecullar relation to the league, It's judges are elected by the league's council and embly. In participating offictully in the inter- national court, Mr. Hardig and Mr. Hughes stated it would be highly ad- visable for the United States to have @ voice in the judges election. This, they admitted, can be done only by appointing special American dele- gates to the league's council and as- sembly for that purpose. It was this point that caused for- Na, mer opponents of the league in the senate to ponder. The United States thus technically would) haye repre- sentatives in both bodies of the league. It is virtually certain that the senate will make it unmistakably clear that these delegates to the league can’ perform no other func- tions. It may insist on the right to confirm them. The. text of the reserration sug: gested follows: 1. “That such adhesion shall not be taken to inyolve any legal re‘ation on the part of the United States to the League of Nations or the assump: tion of any obligations by the United States under the covenant of the League of Nations. 2. “That the United States shall be Permitted to participate through rep- resentatives designated for tho pur- pose and upon an ecuality with the other states mentbers respectively of the council and assembly of the League’of Nations in any and all proceedings of cither the ..counci! or the assembly for the elec- eo? tion of judges or deputy judges of the permanent court of international Justice, or for the filling of vacancies. 3. That the United States will pay a fair share of the expenses of the court as determined, and appro- priated from time to time by the con- 8 of the United States.

MOSCOW, Feb. 24.—Russia’s red army today celebrated its fifth anni- versary today and all the confederat- ed republics paid honor to the troops. Leon Trotzky, war minister, was taken suddenly i'l and the grand ro- view that has marked similar occs sions in the past was cancelled, but enthusiastic meetings throughout Russia hailed the millions under arms. From his sick bed Trotzky issued an order of the day, glorifying the soviet troops. “Only the triumph of communism will fina‘ly end the world's wars,” the war minister wrote. Capitalism, he declared, is still master in all coun- tries save Russia. Imperialism, 11l- will toward the soviet government Will increase, he said, and bourgeois governments are only awaiting a fav- orable moment to deal Russia a mor- tal blow. seo “The red arniy must ‘stand guard.” Karl Radek, unofficial” spokesman for the government, in an address to} the ‘Knights of the Red Banner,” de- clared: “Russia does not want war, but I warn you to be prepared. because complications containing possibi'ities of a new war are bound t. ccur shortly. The.situation in Eu pe is such that certain countries cannot ayold fighting, even if a compromise is reached. If Stinnes and Louecheur, (leading German and French indus- trialists, respectively) agree, it would be at the cost of the workers, which {s bound to cause repercussion. “The past world war will appear childs play in the event of a new war.

It was started by Representative Gallivan of Massachusetts, an avowed “wet" who attacked the constant'y mounting cost of enforcement of the Nquor laws. Tho house roared with laughter as ho solemnly declared that it would cost $620,756,000,000 In the next 25 years !f the cost continues to increase at tho present rate. | The storm broke when Gallivan, in the mitdst of twitting the “drys for “not voting as they drink,” dec'ared “a senator got drunk the other night —a dry senator-—~and two colleagues had to hold him to keep him from answering 4 roll call.”’ Representative Blanton of Texas leaped to his feet and made a point of order, dectaring the remark was a violation of tho house rules as {t re- flected on a senator. Gallivan declared he was in favor of having dry sleuths ‘look into the celars of dry congressmen who re- cently voted. for the resolution by Representative Crampton of Michi- gan, a dry, “to find out how much ambassadors drink. “IT wonder how many here would raise their right hands,” Galllyan continued, “If I asked the ‘drys’ in the house who religiously vote as the janti-saloon league tells them, how j many of them take a drink and lke a | drink? “I pause for a moment and await ‘the vais Of a single right arm.” ~ Crampton raised) his hand, but hastily denied he liked, liquor, stating he misunderstood the question. Gallivan took a fling at Agent Asher, the genius at disguises, who recent!y staged two dry raids in Washington. He declared there was “an army of dry sleuths going about the. country in disguise nosing into every man’s business and every wo- man’s kitchen, laying traps to involve innocent people into the meshes of the Volstead law.” “And now,” said Gallivan, in con- cluding, as he pointed to the gallery “the gentleman who sits behind the vlock in the gallery, the Hon. Wayne Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League, is the man who says it is lawless to agitate for the repeal of the Vo'stead law, or even the eighteenth amend- ment—he does not belong to the tribe of Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Jef- ferson, but to the tribe of the Par- aohs in Egypt whose tomb has just Leen opened after 3,000 years.” Representative Blanton came back at Gallivan in poker terms. j ' Pointing to Gallivan, Representa- tive Tinkham, Massachusetts and Representative Hil, Maryland, wet leaders, the Texan shouted: “There they slt—three of a kind. You can draw to that hand until eternity and never fill it.” “We expect to draw a full house to this three in the next congress,’ re- torted Hill. “Your grandchildren wi'l be elghty years old before you do that,” shot ‘Blanton scornfully, BUSY WORKERS ONES Wil WILL GET BIG GIFTS FROM TRIBUNE Major Part of Success Depends Upon Accomplish- ment During Next Few Days—Great Automobile And Cash Offer Will Soon Be Only History.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Having laid responsibility for the killing of the ship subsidy bill at the door of a fillbustering group of Democrat and Repubticans, the administration today publely gave up the effort to bring the measure to a vote in the senate in this congress. Though technically before the sen: ate, the bill will not be further oon- sidered until the new congress moets. The bill now may be raid to be “lying in mtate.” It propably will be form. ally “laid to rest” on Monday when @ vote is expected on the motion to recommit. Senator Jones of Washington, in charge of the bill raised “tho white flag” of surrender in a unique way today. During his long fight against the filibuster he has been wearing & Ue of “fighting red” color. He told hin colleagues he would rep'ace tho red tle when he decided to give up. He appeared in the senate today with a cravat of spotlesd white that would kave done credit to the most sanct!- minious preacher. “The end has come,” he said, as the fillbusterers smiled at his white tle. “I know when I am beaten.” Hoe said that further proceedings would be merely to make @ record on the measure and that ft wou'd give Way to the fijled milk bill next week. With, this assurance, the fillpuster- era silenced their barrage of talk and the nenate, buckling down with en- | work, thusiasm to long “deferred passed more than a score of bills dur- ing the day, The situation tonight was this: The administration forces proved, by two record votes, that if the sub- sidy bill was allowed to come to al vote, it would pass the senate. The opposition has proved, by its airtight filibuster, that it cou'd not only prevent the subsidy from com- ing to a vote, but could also prevent the senate from doing any other bus- iness until adjournment March 4. This, both sides had defined their relative positions, and only one week of the session remaining, the laying aside of the bi'l was welcome. Be cause some Republicans wanted to hold it a senate barrier agains con- sideration of the truths-in-fabrics bill, it was allowed to remain the senate’s unfinished business until Monday when the plan is to displace it definite- Senator Robinson made a motion to recommit the subsidy bill to com- mittee, but’ this will probably either be tabled or defeated, The subsidy group mustered 46 votes to 38 for the opposition on the The first was a motion to tab'e Senator Jones pro- posal to restore the subsidy as the un- finished business. When that was rejected the Jones motion was adopt: ed by exactly the same vote. Nine Mme. Walska Arrives, But No Husband!
