Salt Lake City Utah, Sept. 10
Plans for an international court
under the league OF nations, as re-
ported from Paris were advanced
by Governor Cox of Ohio in his
Utah campaign today as telling
argument for the league. They
further confound Senator Harding
and other republican opponents,
the democratic presidential caudi-
date declared in an address here
tonight in the great Mormon taber-
nacle, and earlier today at Ogden.
Reiterating that the republican
league critics had failed to offer
any substitute and had expected
that Elihu Root would bring forth
Ia new plan, Governor Cox made
the following statement on the re-
ported court outline;
Part of League Covenant.
To-day We learn that the COM
mission on which Mr.. Root is a.
member has made its report, estab-
fishing a world court for the ad-
judication of questions according
to rules of law. We find, however,
that this court is a part of the
league covenant; that Mr.. Root and
his colleagues were appointed by
the council of the league; that
they made their report to the coun-
Gil OF the league and this report is
now to be submitted to the various
members of the league. Further
more, 1t appears that the judges of
the court are to be chosen by the
council and the assembly Of the
league and their salaries are to be
paid by the league.
1T is apparent therefore, that
this court of international justice.
which Mr., Harding hoped would
be q substitute for the league Of
nations. now appears as an essen
tial part of the league, and ore
which without the league would
have no standing whatever
Limb Has Been Cut Off.
This limb having been cut off.
Mr.. Harding sitting on the end, we
may confidently look forward to
another effort from Marion In an
attempt to confuse the public and
to keep both Senator Johnson,
who IS against any kind of a league,
and Elihu Root. who Is not only
for the league but has performed
valiant services for the existing
league for the party candidate"
The league, together with pro-
gressiveism, were the backbone of
all of Governor Cox's addresses to-
day. He delivered five, beginning
early this morning at Pocatello.
Idaho, with later addresses at Lo-
gan and Brigham. Utah. en- route
