G N -ekowers e BY MRS. MCORMICK Widow of lllinois Senator Carries on Fight Against” Foreign Relations. Br the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 13.—Mrs. Medill McCormick, whose late husband, United States Senator Medill McCor- mick of Illinois ne of the Sen- ate “irreconcilable against the League of Nations, in a vigorous statement today advocated further reservations to American adherence to the World Court. She explained that she made the statement “In view of the fact that during the last few days in numerous newspapers I have been alleged to be engaged in starting a warfare against the Republican national administra- tion in the matter of the World Court and in view of the fact that I hap- pen to be one of the Republican na- tional committee from Illinois. Denies Organization. She sald informally she was not carrying on any organization against the Wosld Court, but gave her opin- Jons in the following statement: “I understand that President Cool- idge believes in separating the World Court thoroughly from the League of Nations before we join the World Court. To that end certain reserva- tions to the World Court ratification resolution have been officially post-| poned. 1 simply think that these reservations do not effectively accom- plish President Coolidge's purpose. “They declare that we are separated from the league, but they do not separate the court from the league. They leave the court the servant of the league. They leave the league the master of the court. Are we, then, to join the servant and claim that we are not involved because we have not Joined the master? “I think that President Coolidge’s mind is undoubtedly entirely open to suggestion for avolding such an absurd situation, “I think that certainly at least two further reservations or amendments to the World Court ratification reso- lution are needed. “In the first place, it is unjust and unbearable that the British Empire, through its dominions and possessions, should We permitted to cast a total of geven (otes in the choosing of the Worlx Court judges while we would be confiiled to one vote. There must be Bn €quality of nations in the making of the World Court before we join it. Raps * ‘dvisory Opinions.” “In the scoond place, the World Court must cease giving so-called ‘ad- visory opinions’ to the league. The United States might not wish the question of Japanese immigration to go to the court. The league as a league, in certain circumstances, might send it to' the court, anyway, for an ‘advisory opinion.’ Suppose that we belonged to the court, sup- pose that a majority of the court should decide against us. We then would be condemned before the whole world by a judicial body to which we belonged in a matter which we did not_wish to submit to it. “That entanglement must be made impossible. “Prevention of entanglements with the league is official Republican doc- trine championed by our national leader, President Coolidge. We ought ot to join the court, therefore, till tic league institution of seven votes for the British Emplre has been removed from it and until the league institution of getting ‘advisory opinions’ from it has been abolished. I think that these views are shared, or will soon be shared, by the mass of the American people, and I emphatically believe that they are in absolute harmony with the declared general principles of Presi- dent Coolidge and of the Republican party.” gt SPANIARDS TO HONOR WASHINGTON IRVING Plaque Will Be Unveiled in House ‘Where Author-Diplomat Lived in Seville.
