It was apparent •to certain of the Senatorial guests that to bring this Government into the World Courts membership was a matter dear to the President’s heart. There was no disclosure to indicate that exchanges for overcoming the Senate reservations difficulties had been initiated with the Powers, but a knowledge of ..the President’s manner of doing things _ gives colour to the surmise that negotiations are already in (progress.—United Service,
