Ing himself with the president in sup
port of permanent court of inter-
national justice, Speaker Frederick Fl.
Gillett addressing regional confer
ence Of republican women here ttslay
declared that such a court lis an ad-
vance and natural sequence to the
practice OF arbitration between ma
tions which we have always plumed
ourselves was an American policy"
Meeting the objection that such a
course would make the United States
a participant in the league OF ma
tions, Mr.. Gillett said that this OBJ
lection is imaginary for, the nation
would not be compelled IN any way
to even be a partial member OF the
league.
Speaker Gillett believed that the
nations that are eager to obtain the
moral and financial support Of the
United States of the world court
would acquiesce in a plan to have this
nation participate in the selection OF
judges without becoming in any sense
a member of the league
He wanted the republican party
against the danger of being driven by
the taunts of its opponents and the
urgency Of a few extremists into IAN
indefensible hatred OF the league and
all its works.
