SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1923 PRES. COOLIDGE TO OKEH ANY WORLD COURT PLAN APPROVED BY SENATE, IS LATE REPORT BY THEODORE A. HUNTLEY (Staff Correspondent of The Tribune) WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—President Cootidge’s atti- tude on the world court has been defined by recent devel- opment far more definitely than it was set forth in his message to congress. His discussion of the subject in that document was regarded here as somewhat ambiguous. Whatever ambiguities it contained have been cleared up y White House conversations dur- the past two weeks. s a result, it may be stated au- thoritatively that President Cool- will accept any wofld court plan the senate may work out, whether it is the Lodge plan, the Hughes plan or some other plan differing from either of these cur from any heretofore suggested. He has told the senate he wants to see a world court stablished. He has left the Hughes proposals with it. Further than that he will not go. He expects the senate to find a basis for agreement. The White House sanction will follow, His attitude is expressed in n single luminous sentence, credited to the president himself: “Let the senate wrestle with it!” There Calvin Coolidge stops. He does not propose to be drawn into senate cavil or controversy, as his two predecessors were. He does not propose to inherit the animos!- ules of the two preceding admints- ions arising from the senate’s ideration of foreign policies, or from differences between the execu- tive and senators on specific treaty proposals. Viewing the situation dispassion- stely, he sees where his predeces- were balked by a senate which sed to accept their programs. refore he submits no program. If one is formulated, it will be the senate that formulates it. Although believing ina world court and hoping to see the United States a member of it, he will not crusade for it, he will not battle with the senate over it, and he will not erect windmills for senators to fight. Thus American diplomacy enters new era, as a president of the United States reverses the tradi- tional constitutional procedure and leaves it to the senate to initiate a y witn other nations, or lay down a basis which the senate will accept. Almost from the foundation of the American government there have been twoeschools of thought on the direction of foreign affairs. ‘This conflict frequently has found expression in the attitude of senate and the White House, and in the official utterances of individual venators and executives. Generally speaking, the senate has insisted that it possesses the power, to dic- tate foreign policy, and that the executive is merely the instrument through which treaties expressing the will of the senate are negotiated. One president after another, on the other hand, has held it to be a presi- dential prerogative to initiate and negotiate treaties, and has denied the right of the senate to share in such negotiations or have any voice in the making of treaties until the bag draft was ready for ratifica- jon. Woodrow Wilson contended vigor- ously for this viewpoint. Although a sufficient number of senators to block his program signed a famous “round robin” expressing thelr op- position to it, he went ahead under what he regarded as his constitu- tional powers and completed the work he had undertaken, in collabo- ration with Clemenceau and Lloyd George—the writing of the Treaty of Versailles, including the cove- nant of the League of Nations. The senate later wrecked it by refusing ratification. President Harding avoided the issue for a time, but finally took his case to the country, as had Mr. Wilson before him. This again stirred up the senate. And the Harding program was blocked. Now comes Calvin Coolidge, recog- nizing the realities and dealing with them accordingly. Much as he might like to submit a program to the senate and have it ratified, he knows—or believes—it would meet the same fate as those of the two executives who immediately pre ceded him. He is convinced no for- eign policy initiated by the chief executive, especially one dealing with the League of Nations or the world court, could win the senate’s approval, in its present temper. Therefore, he puts it up to the senate to frame a program satisfac- tory to itself. He surrenders to the senatorial viewpoint, in practice if not in theory. Almost without exception, presi- dents of the United States have sought the “‘advice and consent” of the senate after treaties were nego- tiated and signed. Calvin Coolidga wants the senate to give its “advice and consent” in advance. He is taking no chances, He has given the senate its long-awaited oppor- tunity. The Coolidge foreign policy. so far as it relates to the world court, is in the senate’s hands. When the Republican senators have agreed among themselves, say those who have talked with Presi- dent Coolidge, he will call in Demo- cratic leaders and ask them to accept it in a non-partisan, patriotic spirit, on the theory that “partisan- ship should stop at the water's edge,”" end not be carried into for- eign affairs. What the Democrats will say about that time, if suck a proposal is made, remains to be seen. Judging from the present attitude of the senate, that time is a long way off.
