WORLD DCOURT|S |SA TELLING ARGUMENT
 FOR LEAGUE--COX
Harding's Substitute for the League of Nations Has Turned Out to Be a Part
 of the League Itself
By Associated Press

t'dit Ldhe Clty, Juan, september l5.- Plans for an international court and the League of Nations as reported from Paris were advanced by Governor Cox in his campaign today a telling argument for the league. They further confound Senator Harding and other republican opponents, the democratic presidential candidate declared, in addresses here to- night in the great Mormon tabernacle 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 a new plan, Governor Cox made the following statement on the re- ported court outline
 Today we learn that the commission, on which MT. Root is member, has for the adjudication of questions accord ing to rules of law. We find, however, that this court is part of the league covenant; that MT. Root and his col leagues were appointed by the council os the league; that they made their re- port to the council of the league and this report is now to be submitted to liit NdIiouS ulefilDeTS OI the league. Fur thermore, it appears that the judges of cil and the assembly of the league and their salaries are to be paid by the league.
 ESSENTIAL PART OF LEAGUE
 Tt is apparent. therefore. that the court of international justice which MT. Harding hoped would be a substitute for the League of Nations, now appears to be an essential part or the league, and one which without the league would have no standing whatever.
 This limb having been cut off, Mr. Harding sitting on the end we may con fidently look forward to another frantic effort from Marion in attempt >to con fuse the public and keep both Senator Johnston, who is against any kind of league, and Elihu Root who is not only for the league. but has performed valiant services for the existing league, for the party candidate"
