HARVEY DECLARES

don Report.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Ambassador
Harvey, in q speech tonight at the
dinner Of the London Press Club,
predicted that the United States
soon will take an active part in
European affairs.
America probably will have to
go In" said Harvey. I'VE were
glad to get out. We were, in
fact, just as glad to get out as
England would be- if she could do
so. But America probably will have
to come In.
Nations cannot follow their own
desires, bat must serve humanity
when conditions get to such a stage
that help is absolutely necessary"
Mr.. Harvey made it plain that
the United States does not wish to
enter European politics, but that he
thought future events would make
1t necessary to do SO.
Premier Bonar Laws health is
causing serious concern. Rumors
are afloat in diplomatic and govern
ment circles that. it is only a ques-
ton Of a short time when the pre-.
mier will be compelled to retire be-
cause of his illness.
The crises in the Rhur and the
Near East have weighed very heav-
lily upon Mr.. Bonar Law and con.
servatives are seriously discussing
the return of Chamberlain or Bal
four to the cabinet. Many weekly
periodicals, recognized as the mouth
pieces Of big money, are demanding
that Bonar Law stop his "wob-
bling" take a firm stand on rep
arations and insist that France

Universal Service.

President Harding yester-
day asked the consent Of the
Senate TO q plan whereby
Tie Limited States would join
the Permanent Court Of In

Hague which was organized
under the League of Nations.
The President also recon-
mended tire adoption Of reserva-
tions in oder that the American
Governmc It may remain wholly
free from any legal relation to
the league or assumption of OBJ
legations under the covenant Of
the league"
ASKS ACTION AT ONCE.
The President transmitted a copy
Of the plan which was drafted by
Secretary Of State Hughes. @s
Despite the Presidents request
that action be taken before adjourn.
ment March A, Senate leaders ex.
pressed doubt that this could be
accomplished in the crowded last
week OF the session.
Ever since the conference for the
limitation Of ornaments, the Presi.
dent and Secretary Hughes have had
under consideration plans for ad-
herring to the protocol Of the league,
creating the Permanent Court of
The Hague.
In suggesting American adhesion
to the protocol, the President and
Secretary Hughes propose that one
reservation guarantee that the Unit
ed States be authorized to partici-
pate in the regular elections of
judges conducted by the council and
the assembly Of the League.
COVENANT AVOIDED.
Another reservation provides that
the protocol governing the court
may not be amended without the
consent Of the United States.
Still another is that such ad.
hesion shall not be taken to involve
any relation on the part of the
United States to the League Of Ma
tons or the assumption Of any OBJ
legations by the United States un.
der the covenant Of the League of
Nations"
AS to the reservations, the Presi.
dents message asserts, There is
good reason to believe they will be
acceptable to the signatory powers,
though nothing definitely can be
done until the United States ten
ders adhesion with these reserva.
