New Court.
Harding Will Put Membership
in International Tribunal
Before Citizens During
Tour of Nation.
Opponents Plan Fight
By international News.

Washington, April THE question
of American participation in the In
ternational court of justice, a judicial
protege of the league of nations. will
be directly determined by the Ameri-
can people under plan decided upon
by the Harding administration, It was
learned tonight.
The transcontinental trip of Presi-
dent Harding, scheduled for the COM
ing summer, will be the 'modus oper-
andi" employed to determine public
sentiment on the proposal, according
to a high administration spokesman.
The president, in score or more OF
speeches, will explain the courts
functions and the nature OF the pro-
posed American participation. Other
republican leaders will make similar
speeches and long before December,
when congress reconvenes, the admin
istration hopes to determine public
sentiment on the question.
Follow Trend Of Opinion.
II an overwhelming opposition Is
developed. the proposal will be drop
ped for the time being and the pres
ent policy Of Isolation" from Euro
pean affairs continued. II the Amer
lean public responds cordially to the
suggestion, the administration then
will press for senatorial ratification
of entry when congress reconvenes in
December.
1t is due TO the constitutional right
of the senate to pass finally upon all
foreign relations that the administra-
ton will have until December to learn
the decision of the American people.
The presidents request for ratifica-
tlon of the proposed entry, as contain
ed in n letter To Senator Lodge, re-
publican, of Massachusetts, in the
closing days of the last congress, Was
swept into the discard by the adjourn
ment on March 4.
II the president decides the nation
is opposed to the move. this request
will not be repeated in December. but
II the public is favorably inclined,
Mr.. Harding probably will renew his
plea for ratification as soon as con-
gress reconVenes.

Wilson Cool
in Support
of McAdoo
Former President May Line
Up for Ex-Justice Clarke,
Strong Advocate of
League of Nations.
No Grown Prince Now
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

One of the recent developments IN
the democratic situation is to the ef-
feet that, to put 1t most mildly. there
is certainly no cooperation between
Wilson and McAdoo as regards Nc
Adoo's candidacy. Those who are
close to the heart of the situation
Rave known this for some time. In
1920 one of the chief reasons why
McAdoo failed to get the nomination
lay in the fact that up to TIE last
minute he was never willing to avow
himself as a candidate. And the
reason for this unwillipgness on his
part was that Mr.. McAdoo feared
that any formal announcement of
himself as a candidate might offend
Mr.. Wilson. There were months dur
ing that 1920 prenomination cam
paign when many persons were eager
to do something in behalf of Nc
Adoo's candidacy, and when import
ant men were anxious to take cer-
tain steps, but were held back by the
fact that McAdoo's candidacy was not
avowed and by the fear that any ac-
tivity in McAdoo's behalf on the part
of members of Wilson's cabinet and
other men close to Wilson would be
looked upon as an offense by Wilson
personally.
McAdoo's Success More Likely.
There were many among the re-
publican leaders who never believed
this. Yet other republican leaders,
whether they believed it or not, were
not only willing but eager to have it
appear that Wilson wanted to have
his son-in-law succeed him. For a
long period during which the republi-
cans anticipated that McAdoo would
be the democratic candidate in 1920
they were stocking up their armory
with such epithets as "the crown
prince" and "perpetuating the dynas-
ty." To many of the republicans 1t
was a real disappointment that Me
Adoo was not made the democratic
nominee in 1920, because they felt
that he would be the easiest candi-
date TO defeat, and looked forward
with zestful pleasure to using these
epithets and other things of the kind
as their arguments The republicans
now feel that the situation would be
quite different. II McAdoo should
get the nomination now, with Wilson
out of the White House, there would
be infinitely less potency in the
Grown prince" epithets. Indeed, II
McAdoo should get the nomination
this year he would suffer little if any
from the fact that he is Mr.. Wilson S
son-in-law. And the possibility OF
McAdoo getting the nomination this
year is increased to the extent that
many democratic leaders who wanted
to put their strength behind him IN
