American support of the permanent

a further Endorsement of the princi-

time it is not absolutely essential.
The court has already received seven

LONDON. February 27-President
Harding's proposal for the partfci-
patton Of the United States in the per-
manent court Of International Justice
receives much attention in today's
newspapers which interpret It as an
important sign that American aloof-
ness In European affairs is being
abandoned.
The Times says that 'the policy OF
aloofness Is a creed worn out, wise
and useful in its time, but formulated

it involves no adherence to the league
