THE WORLD COURT.

The first definite gesture of th' Harding administration toward taking a more active part in European affairs came in the form of a request to con gross that the United States accept conditional membership in the inter national court-a creature of the Lea gue of Nations. but. as Secretar, Hughes said. "an establishment sepa' rate from the league"
 It really is not surprising that tho president has made the move for Il has been knowQ for months that plans were being worked out with the vie" of aligning this country with the world court. Secretary Hughes has negotiated with the powers on the subject and the presidents message to congress apparently fulfilled the program outlined. The only element of surprise that comes from Washing ton Is that the proposal was made at the close of the session of congress.
 It Is noteworthy that the reserva tions attached to our proposed mem bership-four in number-contain the important condition that ''such adhe- sions shall not be taken to involve any legal relation on the part of the United States to the league of nations or the assumption of any obligations by the United States under the cove nant of the league of nations consti' tuting part l of the treaty of Versail' les" The other reservations are sub- ordinate and for the most part deal with our technical relation with the court. which, incidentally already has one American member.
 AS explained by Secretary Hughes the United States need not be mem- Der to accept membership in the in ternational court, and the thought ob- viously has been to avoid the color ot in any way expressing our adhesion to the league itself in the movement, NIT. Hughes adds. is in line with our time-honored policy of arbitrating in ternational disputes. Yet the United States would not be bound by any de cision save In a case where it sub mided dispute to the court for 1u- dicial action. The president describes the court as "an established institu- ton of a high character" an 'agency of advanced civilization" and he re- gards our entrance as adding to our own consciousness of participating in the fortunate advancement of interna- uonal relations.'
 It is probable that some of the ire conciliables will find the presidents suggestion anathema because Of the courts relation to the league of na- tions. but the president and state de- partment make out a good case for their program, and 1t Is quite evident that they have studiously avoided any move that would involve us in old world troubles in a way unacceptable to the American people. Popular sen- timenf is opposed to embodiment in old world affairs. but it never has ex- pressed itself as being unwilling to join with the other nations on it's own terms in promoting international jus tice. In fact it always has been a leader in such affairs.
 The thought comes that the presi- dent has chosen this means of carry ing out his promise to participate in international affairs-that is. select ing a creature of the league covenant and rejecting the league idea itself.
