REPUBLICANS LOOK TO
DEMOCRATS FOR HELP
League Court Cannot Carry Without
Minority Party's Vote

WASHINGTON April 15.-Only
democratic cooperation sufficient to
compensate for the detection of ir-
reconcilable republicans can save
President Harding from humiliation
at the hands of his own partisans in
pressing for membership in the in
ternational court of justice. the dem
ocratie national committee says in a
Wilson's letter to representative
Rouse, chairman OF the democratic
congressional campaign committee,
gives additional point to this state
ment of the national committee in
that it is hint to all loyal league
democrats to oppose the restricted
membership plan of the President
and to insist upon fun entry into
the League of Nations. AS the court
plan will ultimately require two
thirds vote in the Senate, the support
of the democratic side becomes high
ly essential.
Enough democratic support to
compensate for the detection OF re-
publican recalcitrants is now the re-
lance of republican leaders who are
to be entrusted with the task of
getting the Senate's approval of
President Hardings recommendation
for American representation In the
international court of justice" the
democratic committee says. only
this democratic cooperation, it is
now believed, can save Mr.. Harding
from humiliation at the hands of his
own co-partisans."
