tering the court on a basis of com
pulsory arbitration" OF all internation-
al disputes, that he contemplates no
negotiations with other powers in
this regard, and that American ad-
herence will not obligate the United
States under the treaty of Versailles.
The Presidents notification to the
Senate was contained in a brief let
ter TO Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts, transmitting a lengthy
communication which Secretary of
State Hughes had addressed to the
President himself.
Mr. Harding merely transmitted the
Hughes letter, in which the secre-

Hughes to the Senate and had them
read into the record
If the United States adheres to
the court under the four reservations
already proposed by Hughes it will be
the only country so situated. The res
ervations were deemed necessary to
protect American rights.
