COOLIDGE ASPIRATIONS

ROUNDING OFF HIS TERM WORLD COURT AMD CRUISERS. 7 ANSWER TO GENEVA FAILURE. (Australian Press Association.) (Received 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, November 25. . The Washington correspondent of the “Now York Times ; ’ says that Re pub Kean senators breakfasted with President Ooolidfe today. They carried away the impression that the President appears to be inclined to make another effort to bring the United States into membership of the World Count.

The president discussed the legislative programme with them, and they learned that he was anxious to round out his presidential career with ratification of the Kellogg Plact, enactment of the proposal of 15 cruisers and an arrangement with the Powers, signatory to the World Court Protocol whereby the obstacle to American ad-, herence offered by the Senate's reservations would be overcome.

It was apparent to certain of the senatorial guests that to . bring.. the Government into World Court membership was a matter dear to the President's heart. There was no disclosure to indicate that exchanges for. ovei’coming the Senate reservations difficulties had been initiated with the Powers, but knowledge of the President 'a manner of doing things gives colour to the surmise that negotiations are already in progress, A message from Chicago says that the American Legion endorses President Coolidgc's naval programme.

Commander Paul McNutt said in an address: “It is America’s answer to the failure of the Geneva Conference. It is the only answer that other nations would understand.” ~
