Second Section HARDING IS ANXIOUS TO HAVE U, §. JOIN INTERNATIONAL WORLD COURT Says in St Louis ‘Address That Principles Square With Those of Washing- ton—Still Opposed to League of Nations, $t. Lows, Jupe 23.—President Harding placed before the ecountry ght & renewed plea for Amer adherenee to permanent of internatiopal justice “as the and only existiag ‘'agency of peace’ to which we can safely sub- scribe witheut violating the basie principles of our national being." Making the first prepared addréss ©f his western trip, the president sald; fhat to bring about the end he de- @ired he “would gladly wipe out fae- tiona! difference,” and proposed a re anstriction of the machinery of the tional tribunal “to dispose ively of all other cited appre- da. from the exer influe whatsoever, by the league A s of of any . r open or furtive, ¢ nations or by any other organiz tion *This could be done in one ways,” he asserted: "First, by em powering the court itselt to Al any acancy arising from the death of a memt or retirement for whatever cause, without interposition from auy other body; or, second, by con- tinuing the existing authority of the permanent court arbitration to nominate by transterring the power to e from the counci! and assembly of the league to the re- maining members of the court of Justies.” Answers the Doubter. Then anticipating “the voice of the doubter,’” who might inquire whether the 47 nations now representad on the court would consent to these changes in the structure of the tri- bunal, Mr Harding answered that “to submit terms which we consider essential to the preservation of our nationality is not an act of discour-| tesy: it is the only fair, square and honorable thing a great, self-re- specting nation can do.” The crux of the conditiens sug g the president described as “the making of the world court pre- cisely what its name implies.” “Can it be possible that, despijte their protestations to the contrary, this is not what some of our eister] statos at heart desire?”" he asked.| “Must there be a test of sincerity abroad as well as at home? Then the more quickly it can be made the| better, the better for them and the better for us. Thare is nothing to be accomplished in ambiguity. We want| to know. And the only way to find out is to inquire’” The president devoted virtually all of his address to the world court is. sue, but he also reviewed briefly what had been done by his adminis- tration to get the country “back on the right track” in its domestic af- fair. Although declaring he did not come to make a “partisan report,” he said he took pride in pointing out| that unemployment had been ‘ban- iehed”, financial stability restored. taxes lightened and great economies| effected in government, | Washington's Principles ! Washington's farewell address was | taken by the chief executive as his point of departure when he turned to | foreign relations, American adhesion | to the court, he sald squares with the | principles enunciated by Washington, who recognized the value of interna- tional arbitration “It is with that high purpose in| mind that I advocate participation by | the United States in the permanent court of international justice,” con- tinued Mr. Harding. 'Two conditions may he considered indispensable: of two Pirst, that the tribunal be so eon stityted as to appear and to be, 1 theory and practiee, in form and ir substance, beyond the shadow of doubt, a world court and not a league eourt “Second, that the 'nited States sha occupy & place of perfeet equality with every other power. Elaborating upon his pronounce ment that the court must not be a league court, the executive asserted that the eountry had an eppertunity to indicate its desive to ioin the league in 1920 and it “mest emphatically re fused” and “it would refuse agaln, no less decisively today “There has been no change of eon- | dition,” he added with respeet to the league lssue, “Tt is the same league Not a line in the rejected covenant has been altered, not a phrase modi fied, not a word omitted or added.| Article X otill stands as the heart of the compact. Article and all other stipulations ohjected to and condemn ed by the American people remain uptouched, in full force In theory however eircumspectly they are being ignored in practice, “In the face of the overwhelming verdict of 1920, therefore, the iasu of the Leagua of Nations Is as qa as plavery, Is it not the part of wis dom and common sense to let it rest in the deep grave to which 1t has been . consigned, and turn our thoughts to ving things?" H Recognizes Good | Mr. Harding said he recognized ru diments of good In the league organi- | zation, however, and reprated his de claration of 1820 that he hoped to “take and combine all that is good and excise all that is bad" from the league and the Hague tribuna! “The abstract prineiple of a world court tound its genesis in the Hague tribunal,” he continued. “The con- crete application of that principle has ' been made by the league. Sound| theory and admirable practice have been joimed successfully. The court| itseif 1s not only firmiy established bui has clearly demonstrated fts util- ity and efficlency “It is a true judicial tribunal. Tts composition is of the highest order.

Thus, in- cidentally, would be averted the ad- mitted unfairness of the present sys- | tem, which imposes a tax upon mem- bers of the league who are nnt sub- scribers to the court. “The exclusive privilege now held by the league to seek advisory legal guidance from the court might either | be abolished, or, more wisely perhaps, be extended to any member or group | of member natione.
