AMERICA AND THE LEAGUE.
A SENATOR’S PROTEST. “DON’T LET US BE DRIVEN LN.” (Received 7.15 p.m.) New York, March B.—Senator Hiram Johnson, in a speech, bitterly attacked President Harding’s proposal that the United States shall join the International Court, pointing out that the Court offered little more than what the existing arbitration treaies offered. He said the so-called Court was part of the League of Nations. Entering the Court was the first false step. It was the entering wedge, the first movement of which would ultimately lead to full membership of the League. “I do not want America to enter the League, and shall fight against it; but if America is finally to be driven in, let us go in with head up and flag Hying. Do not permit our proud nation to-day to tamely enter and thus become a member of that which has been so emphatically repudiated.”—(A. and N.Z.)
