day Ms a telling argument for the
hague. They further confound Senator

PIE following statement on the reported
ftpun outline.
& To-day we learn that the commits
sion. on which Mr.. koot is a member,
mas made its report, establishing d
world court for the a4Judlcation OF
2questions according to rules OF law.
Ne md, however, that this court Is d
part Of the league covenant. Ihat MI
Boot anu his colleagues were appointed
by the council OF the league; tnat they
lnaue their report to tine council OF the
league and this report is now to be
Submitted to the various members OF
the league. Furthermore, 1t appears
zthat the judges Of the court are TO be
Hchosen by the council and the assembly
Of the league and their salaries are to
be paid by the league.
Harding On End Of Limb.
at Is apparent therefore that this
court Of international Justice which
Mr. Harding hoped would be a SUBJ.
stltute for the league Of nations
now appears as an essential part OF
the league and one which, without
the league, would have no standing
whatever.
This limb having been cut of,
Mr.. Harding sitting on the end, we
may confidently look forward to
another frantic effort from Marion
In an attempt to confuse the public
and to keep both Senator johnson

league-and Elihu Root, who is not
only for the league but has pee
!ormed valiant services for the ex.
lsting league, for the party eandl.
