The fact that the President and Mrs. Coolidge have expressed the desire to receive her does not in any way alter her status of “incognito,” it was authoritatively stated today. Had the Queen been invited by the President, in the name of the people, to visit America, she therefore would be a guest of the Nation, which would care for her to the utmost meaning of the word. But as the Queen elected to see the United States ‘‘on her own.” is paying her expenses, arranging her itinerary, etc., her status is that of a “tourist.” CREWAYREACH 1IN HINE TODAY Rescuers Pierce Bottom of Shaft From Another Work- ing Beneath.

The World Couft, 8o far as the United States is concerned, is dead. Friends of the court are discouraged. President Coolidge plans no more to resuscitate the issue and when the varfous powers deliver their diplo- matic notes they will be advised that their reservations do not constitute an acceptance of the American reser- vations. And that's all there is to it. If the foreign governments want the United States to enter the court, they must modify their reservations. This is considered here unlikely, for the Amerfcan Government did not ask for a position of equality but special privileges of veto. There is no disposition here among World Court advocates to ask the foreign governments to recede from their position and permit American entry. Senators who made a vallant fight to get the Senate to adopt the proto- col with reservations say they have done their utmost and that nothing more can be done. Change Is Not Probable. Thus ends a movement which reached a point of intensity a year ago after organizations had been de- veloped throughout the country to secure the assent of the Senate. The reservations attached were considered very complex, but it was hoped Eu- rope and the rest of the world would take them. It was contended by foes of the court that Europe would accept anything; that foreign countries were so_anxious to inveigle Amer Continued on Page 2. Column 8, Radio Programs—Page 2.
