U:S: COURT ENTRY BELIEVED CERTAIN Protocols Practically Sure| of Senate’s Consent—Pro- | tests Unlikely. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Adherence of the United States to the World Court knocks again at the Senate door. The protocols providing for Ameri- can intry into the Court are practi- cally sure of ratification, under the! resolution reported favorably by the | Foreign Relations Committee yester- day, by a vote of 14 to 7, once the matter is brought to a vote. The committee, in reporting the protocols to the Senate, has included | in its resolution a provision which, in | effect, retains in full operation reserva- tion 5, attached to the World Court resolution of ratification adopted in 1926 by the Senate. It was this reser- vation, relating to advisory opinions that may be given by the World Court and declaring that no request for such an opinion should be entertained in any matter in which the United States has or claims to have an interest over the objection of this country. | { { i Reservation an Obstacle. It was this reservation which proved & stumbling block eight years ago to American membership in the Court. Member nations objected. Administration leaders in the Senate, among them Senator Pittman of Nevada, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, insist, however, that the member nations may be ex- pected to raise no furtier objection to American entry into the Court. If the Senate ratifies again, as it is expected to do, and other nations should again protest, the whole action will have been particularly futile. But the un- derstanding is that the State Depart- ment is convinced that protests will not be forthcoming and that entry of America is only a question of time, depending largely on how quickly the Senate will act. The “irreconcilables,” opposed to membership of this country in the World Court because, they say, “it is the League of Nations’ court,” will continue to make a fight against rati- fication. It was noticeable, however, that in the Foreign Relations Commit- tee itself the vote stood 14 to 7, in proportion exactly the two-thirds vote necessary to ratify in the Senate itself. Root Drafted Formula. Elihu Root went to Europe several years ago and worked out a formula which was declared to be agreeable to the other nations, but which at the same time was declared to safeguard the interests of this country in con- formity with reservation 5.

Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Dem- ocratic leader of the Upper House and also a_member of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee, offered the resolu- tion of ratification, which was adopted. Later he made the statement: “The legal import and effect of reservation 5 has been preserved in full. It is provided that discussion may take place under the Root pro- tocol but that in the end the Court may not entertain, over the cbjection of the United States, a request for an advisory opinion on a dispute or ques- tion in which the United States claims an interest.” Text of Resolution. Senator Robinson’s resolution, now the committee’s, reads as follows: “Whereas the President, under date of December 10, 1930, transmitted to the Senate a communication, accom- panied by a letter from the Secretary of State, dated November 18, 1929, asking the favorable advice and con- |sent of the Senate to adherence by the United States to the protocol of date of December 16, 1920, of signa- ture of the statute for the Permanent Court of International Justice, the protocol of revision of the statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice of date September 14, 1929, and the protocol of accession of the United States of America to the pro- tocol of signature of a statute of the Permanent Court of International | Justice of date September 14, 1929, all of which are set out in the said | message of the President dated De- cember 10, 1930: Therefore, be it “Resolved (two-thirds of the Sena- tors present concurring) that the {Senate advise and consent to the | adherence by the United States to said three protocols, the one of date December 16, 1920, and the other two, each of date September 14, 1929 (without accepting or agreeing to the optional clause for compulsory juris- diction), with the clear understanding of the United States that the Perma- {nent Court of International Justice shall not, over an objection by the United States, entertain any request for an advisory opinion touching any dispute or question in which the United States has or claims an interest.” Borah Expects Ratification. Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the old irreconcilables opposed to the Versailles peace treaty and the World Court, said he expected ratification by the necessary two-thirds vote. He will, however, with other opponents of entry into the Court, continue to fight it. Senator Robinson declined to make any prediction regarding the final disposition of the treaty at this time. American adherence to the World Court—which has been dubbed “the League Court” by its opponents— “will take us into the next war,” was the comment of Senator Shipstead of Relations Committee, when he left the committee meeting. ‘Twenty-one votes were cast on reso- lution of ratification in the commit- tee, and two-thirds of them favored the resolution. The line-up was: “Ayes,” Pittman of Nevada, Robi son of Arkansas, Harrison of Mis- sissippi, Wagner of New York, Con- nally of Texas, Bachman of Ten- nessee, Black of Alabama, Thomas of Utah, Van Nuys of Indiana, Duffy of Wisconsin, Pope of Idaho and Bulkley of Ohio, Democrats, and Cap- per of Kansas and Vandenberg of Michigan, Republicans. “Noes,” Lewls of Illinois and Murray of Mon- tana, Democrats, and Borah of Idaho, Johnson of California and Cutting of New Mexico, Republicans; La Follette of Wisconsin, Progressive, and Ship- stead of Minnesota, Farmer-Labor. Amendments Offered. Senator Johnson of California, Senator Vandenberg of Michigan and Senator Lewis of Illinois all offered amendments to the Robinson resolu- tion, but they were voted down. The Vandenberg amendment, which de- clared the old policy of the United States of keeping out of foreign en- tanglements, lost only by a vote of 11 to 9. That offered by Johnson pro- vided that only through general or special treaties could there be re- course to the use of the Court by this country to settle disputes. It was beaten, 12 to 9. That offered by Senator Lewis mentioned the Mon- roe Doctrine and the policy of the United States regarding Asiatic im- migration as specially excepted from any issues that might come before the Court. It was lost, 13 to 5. The proposal to make the United States a member of the World Court has been kicking around for years. Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and now President Roosevelt, all sought ratification. The Senate by a vote of 76 to 13, with 3 not voting, ratified the protocol of adherence with a series of reservations, includ- ing reservation 5, on January 27, 1926, when the late President Coolidge was in the White House, after a long debate. Because members nations were unwilling to accept reservation 5 as it was written, the United States remained outside the Court. The late President Harding sent the original protocol of adherence to the Senate on February 17, 1923, almost a dozen years ago. Senator Lewis predicted today that the World Court matter would have to await consideration and action in the Senate until after the President’s recovery legislation has been dealt with, » Minnesota, 8 member of the Foreign | A wrecking crew Colored Demo |Booker T.

Meanwhile, the international army sent here by the League of Nations made final arrangements to deal with mass demonstrations expected to ac- company the Saar plebiscite Sunday. English and Italian tank and armored car companies, ordered to co-operate in case of necessity, were sent through joint maneuvers near Dillingen. A drive for division of the Saar into two distinct political and geographical sections should the vote favor a return to Germany, as is anticipated by ob- servers, was launched by anti-Nazs. In a protest sent the League they said the latter “must take existing Nazi terrorism into consideration when it interprets the final result of the plebiscite.” Many threats of reprisals after the plebiscite have been reported.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The hope of a resumption of the Limitation of Arms Conference at an early date—presumably before next Summer—is the reason the admin- istration is anxious to obtain a favor- able vote from the Senate regarding America joining the World Court. Foreign Minister Pierre Laval is re- ported to be prepared to yield to the point of view of the other powers to recognize Germany’s re-armament. Heretofore he has been adamant on that question. This concession of the French foreign minister paves the way to bringing Germany back to the Disarmament Conference, which she deserted in October, 1933, U. S. Role Important. The United States has played an important role at the previous Geneva, disarmament conferences and its in- terest in an effective reduction of armies and navies has not been changed. The administration is re- ported now not to leave a stone un- turned to obtain an international agreement for disarmament, which is considered here to be the best means towards world economic recovery. The stumbling block which has heretofore prevented an agreement was France's fear of an agression, which led her to demand security pacts in exchange for a reduction of her armies. The British government consistently refused to enter into any security pledge because, it said, America’s titude in any future conflagration re- mained uncertain. This country is no more ready to enter into any security agreements than it was a few years ago. Pressing Troubles Past. But in the light of President Roose- velt's declarations on May 16, 1933. it is believed the European powers might consider a substantial reduction of armaments, now that the most press- ing political troubles seem to be clear- ing, without asking for any definite security past from this country. The President is reported to stand by what he has said 18 months ago. That is to say that if the powers meeting at the Disarmament Confer- ence are ready to sign a sincere agree- ment cutting down their armies and navies the United States would give 2 new interpretation to the traditional freedom of the seas policy and would be willing to consult with other powers in case of a threat to the world's peace. To make the task of this country easier, President Roosevelt volunteered to define in 1933 what constitutes an aggression by qualifying as aggressor the nation which during the disarm- ament period sends its armed force across its present frontiers. Politics Caused Failure. The Geneva conference failed, -de- spite this offer of the American Gov- ernment because of the political diffi- cultles which existed & ‘year ago be- tween Germany and France and Italy and France. Now that the French and the Italians have succeeded in ironing out their main ‘political prob- lems and‘that the Saar question will be disposed of, the political situation has improved to such an extent that 4 new disarmament conference is considered likely to meet with much better success than ever before. Under these circumstances, it is A law of | believed that an indication from this country that it would co-operate more closely with the other nations in a policy of peace by joining the World Court and by President Roosevelt re- iterating his past offers would have a 8ood effect on the other countries and might speed up a limitation of inter- national armaments. Society Disgusts Ex-Prisoner Who Rejects Freedom Returns to French Penal Colony After Serving 26 Years. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 10.—Benjamin Ullmo was on his way voluntarily today to French Guiana, where he spent 26 years of imprisonment, dis- gusted with civilization after six months of it. The former naval officer, who was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of selling naval secrets to Germany was pardoned last year and . returned to France a free man in July. he was disillusioned by the “bound- less stupidity of humanity, which believes itself so superior.” ‘The world, he says, is in a “spiritual decline, a decline of consciences and intelligences. Humanity has no longer a guiding light. The old beacons have gone out.” Ullmo spent 15 of his 26 years in the French penal colony in Guiana on the famous Devil's Island.

Early formation of a considerably enlarged department of physical edu- | cation in the District public schools, headed by a director with wide pow- ers, was indicated at a Board of Edu- | cation meeting yesterday when the | retirement of the present director, Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad, wes announced. | No definite action was taken pend- ing a report from the special commit- | tee headed by Henry I. Quinn, board member, which some time ago was desi?mwd to study the physical edu- | cation and athletics set up. The con- sensus of members, however, seemed to favor the suggestion made by Supt. Frank W. Ballou that Dr. Stoneroad's successor be selected with the thought in mind of choosing a person fitted to direct all physical training activi- ties in the public schools. Dr. Ballou asked the board whether the directorship should be made to include charge of athletics in the senior high schools, which formerly has been regulated by the Board of Principals. He expressed the opinion a man could best fill the post. Wide Scope Urged. Quinn suggested that a new and | greatly enlarged physical education program be started with the appoint- ment of a new director. He urged that the director be given broad powers. ! Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, board vice president, said she thought the schools should have “a comprehensive | physical education program extending | from the kindergarten through high | school.” When such a program gets into motion, the school board should 80 to Congress and get money to make possible a larger personnel, she said. The new program is expected to be based on a comprehensive system of | medical examination for all school | children. Dr. Ballou now is studying | this problem, but has not yet reported his findings to the board. School offi- cials predict that it will co-ordinate all athletics, including inter-school competition, the remedying of physi- cal defects and class room instruction into an ordered course aimed at the physical welfare and improvement of every child. Dr. Stoneroad, who has been direc- tor of physical education since the department was organized 46 years ago, was lauded by Dr. Ballou in a formal statement to the board. She has been a teacher for 49 years. Last January 1 she reached the age of 70 years, the automatic retirement mark, | and will relinquish her office at the end of this month.

Barrett Prettyman to map a definite course of action. Both Dr. Johnson, who is a prominent attorney, and Prettyman have agreed that the child’s performance would be in viola- | tion of the law. | The two men have disagreed sharp- | ly, however, on proper interpretation | of the law, Dr. Johnson holding to a | strict construction which would estab- lish a hard and fast test of legality, | while Prettyman would make the law | hinge to a large extent on the effect | of the employment on the individual | child.

The board directed school officers to treat employes sympathetically when cases come before them of attempts to collect debts. Dr. Ballou said the percentage of teachers owing long overdue bills is extremely small. If the school officers cannot adjust the | debt matters, the cases will be turned over to the board’s Personnel Com- PAID PAROLE BODY URGED BY PROBERS Full-Time Board With Cler- ical Staff to Be Recom- mended by Group. A special committee which investi- gated the parole system in the District yesterday recommended a new full- time salaried parole board and changes in the indeterminate sentence and parole law to make it conform with the Federal law. The committee, composed of Com- missioner George E. Allen, Corpora=- tion Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman, Supt. of Police Ernest W. Brown, Wilbur La Roe, jr., and Emmett J. Scott, members of the present board, also recommended a system of han- dling publicity. This would be re- stricted to formal meetings, the names of those granted parole and the names of parole candidates. While no salary was specified for Parole Board members, it is under- stood a compromise salary will be asked somewhere between the high salary of $12,000 given members of the New York Parole Board and a $5,000 low salary in certain other States. La Roe, who disagrees with the Commissioners in their recommenda- tion for absolute control over cor- porate boards, would have the new Parole Board a separate and distinct unit. A complete clerical force is also recommended, with adaquate pay These recommendations, agreed to in substance by all interested, will be submitted to Congress. Criticism of the present Parole Board in its administration of the parole law brought about the creation of the Special Investigating Commit- tee. The investigation brought out the fact that the Parole Board could not properly function without addi- tional funds and a proper force. plgie = BOLIVIANS BLAMED Killing of Argentinian on Home Soil Is Charged.
