HARDING TO DEFEND
WORLD COURT VIEW

leaguers,' as the advocates OF
American entrance into the league of
nations are sometimes called The
President has since let 1t be known
that he did not consult with anybody
but his Secretary Of State, Charles
Evans Hughes, and that the first in
formation any pro-Ieaguers or any
one else got about the world court
came from the publication In the
press OF the letter transmitted to
Congress.
Concerned Over Numpus.
But. 1t Is the fact that there should
be any opposition to what Mr. Hard
ing calls a republican doctrine: that
there should be talk OF friction, when
he simply announces his intention of
fulfilling campaign promise-this
is admittedly a co1Se of concefn. Diff
cal effect OF Mr.. Hardiug's daermi
nation TO go through with the world
court proposal range from q sugges
tlon Of temporary division TO an
actual aplit in the party ranks.
One thing will be clear after to

forts 10 swerve him will be futile. In
TACT. If the President had not made
up hls mind to make a speech on the
world court tomorrow. he might have
been listening for several weeks more
TO the CrEfngs of the group which
opposes his getting into the contro-
versy any further than he has. They

Secretary of State TO be acted upon
by Congress with freedom from party

VIII stand by Court.
The President, however. feels he
must make the world court a part of
administration policy. He thinks the
country will stand back of him and
that he will gain in strength. es-
pecially with the independent voters,
when they read his argument for the
court.
The political advice given the Presi-
dent. however, to let the world court
issue alone was not altogether based
upon the merits of American MEM
bership in a world court. but on what
the practical politicians call "circum-
stances and not theories" The Presi-
dent Is in the race for denomination
his Attorney General deliberately put
him there to squelch opposition--to
date there has been no pretext for
party division. The fear OF many of
the men who have argued with the
President TO let the matter subside
is that opponents of denomination
will merely use the world court con-
troversy as a preteyt. Mr.. Harding
thinks these are exaggerated fears
and Impressions that will later be
found to have been without founda-
ton. So 2he has cleared decks for
action-and It's the first real test of
Harding analysis versus cautionary
politics.

present pace, the local lodge will
annex it's first championship this
season. Jersey City annexed hon
ors last year, and Paterson copied

form the local Y. NJ. C. A. swimming
team is all set for their tank match
against the institution representa-

ding tomorrow night in order tc
carry off the honors. The local team

local swimmers by a one-paint mar
gin, while at the match held in Tren-
ton at the later date Amboy was
