THE WORLD COURT.
AMERICA’S PLAN TO JOIN. THE PROPOSAL ATTACKED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received March 9, 7.15 p.m. New York, March Si. 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 little more than what the existing arbitration treaties offer. He said the socalled court was part of the League, and entering the Court was the first false step. It was entering the wedge first, a movement which would ultimately lead to full membership. “I do not want America to enter the League, and I shall fight against it; but America is finally to be driven in, let us go in with our head un and our flag flying,” he proceeded. “Do not permit our proud nation to-day to tamely enter and thus become a member of that which has been so emphatically repudiated.”
