WORLD COURT
AMERICA’S ADHERENCE URGED.
(United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 7.0 p.m.) Washington, December 17. Consideration of the World Court protocol has been postponed by the Senate until next Congress in December, 1931. Religious leaders to-day handed to Mr Hoover a petition from 59 church bodies asking for American adherence to the Court.
A message from Washington last week stated: Mr Hoover has sent the World Court protocol to the Senate with a request for ratification if the “provisions free us of any entahglcment in diplomacy with other nations. We cannot be summoned before the Court and our withdrawal permitted at any time without reproach or illwill. The movement for the establishment of such a Court originated within our country. It springs from the earnest seeking of our people for justice in international relations and to strengthen the foundations of peace.”
