CONGRESSMAN CABLE JOINS FOES OF COURT
Ohio Republican Declares Harding Plan Leads To League Entrance

AKRON, O., May 24.-Joining forces with those opposing President Harding's plan to have the United States become member of the world court, Representative Cable, republi- can, Ohio. declared in an address here tonight that the provisions for the court statute that submission of cases to the court is not compulsory was "web of entangling alliances spun by the League of Nations to catch the United States"
 "Once we join the court, can we with honor withdraw" asked Mr. Cable. Can there be drawn d reser- vation that would protect us by pro- hibiting the foreign nations from amending the statute? With the United States a member and the sub mission of all international ques- tions made compulsory, what then would be our situation? One of the courts duties is to interpret treaties and decide international disputes"
 MT. Cable suggested that it was within possibility that in these cir cumstances the court would have placed before it by interested nations such highly important American questions as the transportation of in- toxicating liquors in American waters by foreign ships, Panama canal tolls, immigration restriction and the allies debts to the United States.
