GREAT DISSATISFACTION
SIDE-STEPPING THE ISSUE,
WASHINGTON, 3rd" March.
Members of the Foreign Relations Committee privately voice great dissatisfaction over Mr. Hughes's letter concerning the World Court, declaring the Administration has side-stepped the question by putting the responsibility on the Senate.
It is understood Senator Lodge is particularly annoyed, inasmuch as President Harding indicated it would take weeks to answer the committee's queries. Sen atoi Hughes's unexpected and sudden response thus places the onus of^lelay on the committee which it resents.
It is understood that Senator Borah opposes the plan because it does not go far enough, while Senator Johnson flatly opposes any form of international tribunal. As each has support within the Foreign Relations Committee, the indications are that when President Hard ing's proposal is eventually discussed there will be a hot fight both before and after it reaches the Senate.
