AMERICA STAYS OUT
WORLD COURT SCHEME CONDITIONS UNACCEPTABLE (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association./ WASHINGTON, October 2. The United States will refuse to enter the World Court under conditions laid down at the Geneva Conference. President Coolidge having decided these would violate the spirit and letter of the Senate reservations. He will advise the Senate to declare them unacceptable. He may himself declare this to be so if the replies of the Court' members incorporate the Geneva coun-ter-reservations. These grant the United States an equal Court right with the League Council members, whereas the fifth Senate reservation prevents a Court without the United States' eonsent in acting in cases where the United States has, or claims, interest. It is not decided whether President Coolidge will make a declaration on the signatories' replies, or submit them to the Senate. Experts believe the Senate alone is authorised to pass judgment on them.
The President desires to prevent anothsr Senate World Court debate delaying business, with the possibility that it might be used by pro-Court Democrats against the Administration.
