FALSE STEP
TO ENTER COURT. PRESIDENT HARDING'S PROJECTt BITTER ATTACK BY SENATOR. (Received 9.35 a.m.) NEW YORK, March 8. Senator Johnson, in a speech, bitterly attacked President Harding's proposal that the United States should join the International Court", pointing" out that the Court offered liltle more than the existing arbitration treaties offer. He said the so-called Court was part of the League op Nations. Entering the Court was the first false step. v It was entering a wedge, a first move-
ment which would ultimately lead to full membership of the League. '\I do not wont /Lmerica to enter the League," he declared, "and I shall fight against it; but if America is finally to be driven in, let us go'in with heads up and the flag flying. Do not permit our proud nation to-day to tamely enter and thus become a memmer of that which-has been so emphatically repudiated.' and N.Z.
