Washington, Feb. 24.-P)-The
text of President Harding's message
to the senate requesting participation
in the international court established
by the league of nations follows:
There has been established at
The Hague a permanent court of
international justice for the trial
and decision of international causes
by judicial methods, now effective
through the ratification by the sig
natory powers of a special protocol.
1t is organized and functioning-
The United States is competent
suitor in the court, through pro-
vision of the statute creating it,
but that relation is not sufficient
for a nation long committed to the
peaceful settlement of International
controversies. Indeed, our nation
has a conspicuous place in the adj
vocacy of such an agency of peace
and international adjustment, and
our public opinion Of today is over
whemingly in favor of our full par
ticipation and the attending obliga-
tions of maintenance and the fur
therance of its prestige.
It is for this reason that 1 am
now asking for the consent of the
senate to our adhesion to the proto-
col.
History of Court.
With this request I am sending
to the senate copy of the letter
addressed to me by the secretary OF
state, in which he presents in de-
tail the history Of the establishment
of the court, takes note of the OBJ
lection to our adherence because of
the courts organization Under the
auspices of the league of nations
and it's relation thereto, and indi-
Gates how, with certain reserva-
tions. we may fully adhere and par.
ticipate and remain wholly free
from any legal relation to the league
or assumption of obligation under
the covenant of the league.

Text Of Harding's Message to Senate
Requesting Place in World Court

I forbear repeating the presenta-
ton 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 =
senate. For long period, inde,
ever since the international confer
ence on the limitation of armaments,
the consideration of plans under
which we might adhere to the pro
tocol has been under way. We were
unwilling to adhere unless we could
participate in the selection of judges;
we could not hope TO participate
with an American accord If adher-
ence involved any legal relation to
the league.
Conditions Acceptable.
These conditions, there is good
reason to believe, will be accept
able to the signatory powers, though
nothing definitely can be done until
the United States tenders adhesion
with these reservations. Manifest
ily the executive cannot make this
tender until the senate has spoken
its approval. Therefore, I must
earnestly urge your favorable ad-
vice and consent. I would rejoice
IL some action could be taken, even
in the short period which remains
of the present session.
1t is not a new problem in inter
national relationship; it is wholly
a question of accepting an establish.
ed institution of high character.
and making effective all the fine
things which have been said by
us in favor of such an agency of
advanced civilization. 1t would be
well worth the while OF the senate
to make such a special effort as
Is becoming to record its approval.
Such action would add to our own
consciousness of participation in
the fortunate advancement OF in
ternational relationship. and re-
mind the world anew that we are
ready for our proper part in further
ing peace and adding to stability in
world affairs.

Crawford county and the promised
rise to 81 or 35 feet will inundate

cording to reports to the railroad
office here.
No one was injured. railroad
officials said
The train. due in Bismarck last
night, was coming in early this
afternoon.
No information as to who placed
the stones on the track has been
received by railroad officials. One
report was that boys playing along
the track had done this, to see the
rocks crushed or fly.
The engine passed over the
stones, but the engine tender was
thrown off and this threw the
baggage car and two coaches off.
The cars ran on the ties for a short
distance.
All cars were standing up and
there was no damage to equipment,
the railroad reports said.
The track was being repaired as
quickly as possible. Supt. Derrick
went from Bismarck to the scene
of the accident.
