Il forebear repeating the presenta-
tion made by the Secretary of State,
but there is one phase of the matter
not covered in his letter with which
choose frankly to acquaint the SEN
ate. For a long period; indeed, ever
since the international conference on
the limitation of armament, the con-
sheraton of plans under which we
might adhere to the protocol has been
under way. We We're unwilling to
adhere unless we could participate in
the selection of judges; we could not
hope to participate with an Ameri-
can accord IL adherence involved any
legal relation to the league. These
conditions, there is good reason to be-
lieve, will be acceptable TO the sigma
tory powers, though nothing definite
ly can be done until the United States
tenders adhesion with these reserva-
lions. Manifestly. the executive can
not make this tender until the SEN
ate has spoken it's approval. There
fore, ! most earnestly urge your ia
vorable advice and consent. l would
rejoice IL some action could be taken
| even in the short period which re-
mains of the present session.
1T is not a problem in Information
| al relationship: it Is wholly a ques-
| ton of accepting an established in
! Ing effective all the fine things
which have been said by us in favor
of such an agency of advanced civil
| ization. 1t would be well worth the
while of the Senate to make such
special effort as is becoming to
| record it's approval. Such action
would add to our own consciousness
| of participation in the fortunate ad-
vancement of international relation
ship and remind the world anew
that we are ready for our proper
part in furthering peace and adding
to stability in world affairs"

1t was indicated that one factor
standing in the way of an immediate

WASHINGTON, Feb 24.-(By AS
ISOLATED ss.)-Senator Oscar w.
Underwood of Alabama, democratic
floor leader in the Senate, may again

formed friends that after his return
from Europe he will give very care

many suggestions to enter the race
for the 1924 nomination of his

The position Of Senator Underwood,
WHO sailed last night from New
York for Europe, was outlined In a
letter of February 2, to W. NJ. Cole

resentatives. After adoption by the
Alabama legislature of resolution
trying that Senator Underwood per-
nit his name to go before the demo-
cratic national convention next year,

Presidents Message.

The Presidents message follows:
There has been established at The
Hague Il permanent court of interna
tional justice for the trial and de-
eision of international cases by judi
cial methods now effective through
the ratification by the signatory
powers of special protocol. 1t is
organized and functioning. The United
States Is a competent sutton in the
court, through provision of the stat
ute creating it, but that relation is
not sufficient for a nation long COM
mitted to the peaceful settlement Of
international controversies. Indeed,
our nation had a conspicuous place in
the advocacy of such an agency of
peace and international adjustment.
and our deliberate public opinion of
today is overwhelmingly in favor of
our fun participation and the attend
ing obligations of maintenance, and
the furtherance of its prestige. 1t Is
for this reason that | am now asking
for the consent of the Senate to our
adhesion to the protocol.
with this request | am sending TO
the Senate a copy of the letter adj
dressed to me by the Secretary of
State. in which he presents in detail
the history of the establishment OF
the court, takes note of the objection
to our adherence because of the
courts organization under the au-
spices of the League of Nations, and
its relations thereto, and indicates
how, with certain reservations, we
may fully adhere and participate and
remain wholly free from any legal re-
lation 70 the league or assumption of
obligation under the covenant of the
