_EXPEDIENCY FAILS TO SWAY COOLIDGE President Seen to Choose Logical, Rather Than Political, Path in First Tests. e i 1 STANDS ¥IRMLY BY PLEDGE Senators’ Plea for New World Court Plan Is Rejected. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Coolidge does not intend to become an expediency Executive. On the first tests which are facing him—whether to yield to party exi- zencies or remain consistent with his announced attitude—Mr, Coolidge has chosen the path of logic and not politics. Mr. Coolidge’s conferences with the Republican members of the Senate foreign relations committee have been the subject of much talk during the past week and details are just be- coming known. Mr. Coolidge had been urged to abandon the position he took on the world court and to support another plan sponsored by either Senator Lodge or Senator Pep- per, both of whom object to the fact that the present court was created by the league of nations. and that judges for it are selected through the machinery of the Geneva institution. Reiterates First View. Mr. Coolidge's reply was an asser- tion of leadership that is nothing less than a sensation. He told the sena- tors that his first address to Con- gress last December was the pro- gram on which he went before the American people—namely, support of the present world court, even though created by the league—and that in subsequent addresses he had reit- erated that view. During all that time—since last December—Mr. Cool- idge points significantly to the fact that he had in a sense gone to the country on the issue and that the delegates to the next Republican con- venion had been elected in » the primaries on the basis of the Cool- idge program as announced in the in- terval. The President says he can- not alter his position now and keep faith with the delegates elected. This means that Mr. Coolidge feels the Republican national platform should correspond to his own view on the world court even though action may not be obtained at this session of Congress beyvond a report from the Senate foreign com- mittee. Coolidge fee also that he is v the pledge he gave when a relations Room Th. M. Branch Studio, 1413 G st. n.w. Chas. F. Andrew thing contra. myself.

In conversation, Mr. Coolidge refers to his own posi- tion always as being in favor of the proposal presented by Mr. Harding to the Congress. Unfler such circum- stances can the Cleveland convention repudiate the late President Harding as well as the nominee, President Cool- idge? The outlook now is that - Mr. Coolidge will force the convention to insert a plank favoring American mem- bership in the present court with reser- vations distinctly stating that this in no way involves American membership in the league of nations itself. The President has an even more awkward problem to handle in the immigration question. Secretary Hughes is opposed to the bill that has been passed by Congress on the ground that it offends Japan. Mr. Coolidge tried in vain to persuade Congress to change the wording of the bill so that it would accomplish Japanese exclusion but without of- fense to Japan. In this he failed. To sign the bill is to contradict his own attitude € ot Reverse Veto, He is weighing the advantages to the country in signing the bill and the disadvantages in an estrangement with Japan. If he could persuade Japan to be patient until a treaty could be negotiated to supersede the pending bill he would be able to sign the measure and negotiate later. But it appears that the Japanese will be deeply disappointed unless the bill is vetoed. It it is vetoed it cannot pass over the veto, be the oppo- sition on other grounds is sufficient to prevent a two-thirds vote in the House. The President’s friends are saying he will sign the immigration bill and announce his intention of negotiating a treaty to take the place of the Japanese provsion in the bill he signs. As for the tax bill to which Sec- retary Mellon has indicated his op- position, Mr. Coolidge will apply a mple test. If he finds upon careful scrutiny that the bill proposed is an improvement over the present law, he 1 sign it. A glance at th tables showing the material cut in taxes for everybody of large and small income, ~under the measure which has just come out of the con- ference committee of the two houses, is convincing evidence that the meas- ure is indeed an improvement. This means signature and the enactment of the bill into law. There are not enough objectionable features in the bill to warrant a veto, though Mr. Mellon's opposition will lay the foundation for further efforts at revision in the next session of Congress. BONUS VETO DEFEAT Expresses Absolute Disagreement ‘With Action of Dale and Gibson in Overriding Coolidge. By the Associated Presa. MONTPELIER, Vt, May 24.—The election of eleven delegates pledged to President Coolidge, a foregone con- clusion, took second place in interests for the delegates to the Republican state convention yesterday, who de- voted most of their time to a bonus discussion. The outcome was adop- ion of a resolution expressing the ‘absolute and unqualified disagree- ment” of the delegates with the ac- tion of Senator Porter S. Dale and Representative E. W. Gibson of Ver- mont, in voting to override the Pre dent’s veto of the bonus biil. In a signed statement after the con- vention, Representative Gibson said “I did_after election just what 1 promised the voters.” John H. Bartlett, first ass postmaster general, in an address the convention, said that the people of the cduntry had formed “confidence in Coolidge” as the one issue upon which_they would insist on voting next November. Praising the Presi- dent's stand on taxation, he said: “It looks very much now as if this question would have to be submitted to the greatest jury in the world— the whole American people.” — NORMAL HOTEL RATES FOR DELEGATES AGREED New York to House Delegates Easily and at Usual Charge, Association Announces. By tue Associated Press. NEW YOR —A survey of ities completed yesterday by the New York national convention committee revealed that accommodations will be available at normal prices to every delegate and visitor to the Democratic national convention on June 24. Of the 60,000 rooms in the 200 member hotels of the Hotel Association of New York, 43,000 have been reserved for those who plan to attend the convention. The hotel association has adopted a resolution which provides that no member may charge more than the regular rates for accommodations in his hotel, Rates for assembly rooms used by official committees will be lower than those charged other organizations, the hotel owners have announced, {MAY CANCEL CONTRACTS.

LONDON, May 24.—In the hope of establishing _satisfdctory radio_ tele- phonic_service between Great Britain and America, the committee which has been working on the subject since April, 1923, has recommended that the govern- ment install at the new giant station at Hillmorton an _experimental 200-kilo- watt telephone valve transmitting plant similar to that used in America in suc- cessful telephony to Europe. An_official announcement regarding this development says it is hoped ex- periments will show it possible to con- nect telephone subscribers in London with New Yorkers under favorable at- mospheric conditions, and will also pro- vide the data necessary for determining to what extent it is possible to estab- lish a reliable two-way commercial service.

CONDIT(ONS ARE NOT GRAVE Victim, Taken by Surprise, Unable to Return Fire. By the Associated Press. BELLEVILLE, IIL, May 24.—Police of many southern Illinois cities are searching today for four unidentified gunmen who late yesterday afternoon attempted to take the life of S. Glenn Young, Ku Klux Klan dry raider, while Young and his wife were driv- ing on the Atlantic-Pacific highway at the Okaw River bottoms west of Okawyville, by firing a volley of shots at them from a sedan. Both Young and his wife were wounded, but escaped death by drop- ping to the floor of their car as the gunmen’s car sped by them while three of the men fired from .45 cali- ber automatics and a shotgun. Mrs. Young received a charge of ehot in the right side of her face, while Young was wounded in the right leg. The wounds are not considered serious. Young’s machine fitteen bullots. was pierced by Taken by Surprise. Young was returning o East St Louis, following attendance of a Klan meeting in Harrisburg, I1l, Thursday night, accompanied by his wife, when a sedun which had been following him speeded up, and, as it passed, the occupants opened fire. Although two automatic revolvers and a submachine gun were in his gar, the attack was so sudden Young was unable to re- turn the men's fire. As paid leader of the Klan in a series of liquor raids in Williamson county, Illinois, Young caused the ar- rest of many persons charged with liquor law violations and the closing of many saloons and other resorts, in- curring the enmity of many persons in that region. On_ March 13, 1924, he was indicted on fifty-five Ccharges in connection with near-riot in Herrin, 111, on ry 8 last, between Klan and an forces. attempts have been made previously on his life from ambush, he declares, and he always |arms. from his home in Marion, harge of the local clop the Klan and to arrange its or tion.
