= News SerVice


The lines of opposition to
President Harding's international
court proposal within his own
party were drawn tighter today.
While Republican Senators Of
the regular school, like Watson OF
Indiana, were sounding warnings
against the political consequences
of pressing the court issue, Sem
ator William E. Borah (Rep.) of
Idaho made q reply to Herbert
Hoover, in which he asserted that
the league court, ''like the whole
international field" is to be gov
erned by political forces, and not
an impartial code of justice.
Favors ''ReaI Court"
For this reason, the Idaho Sem
ator declared, he is opposed to the
league court At the same time
he announced his intention Of con-
Quoting fight for a real court
one in which international law 10
codified, and Justice may be dis
pensed unhampered by the political
prejudices Of the countries involved.
The league court, like other aroi-
tration tribunals set up in the past.
Senator Borah asserted, win be
rendered inapotent ''by the intrigue
and politics Of Europe"
"I agree entirely with Mr..
Hoover as to what he says an inter
national court should be-" said SEN
ator Borah. "'I only disagree with
him as to what the league court IL.
''Mr. Hoover says: The interna-
tional court is to deal in q judicial
way with questions which arise
under international treaties and
under established international law;
to provide a place where judy
ment may be given on the merits
of a great multitude Of questions
for the settlement OF which there
has been no process, except nego-
tiation or their reference to arbi-
tration.'
Wants Laws COdified.
"That is precisely what / would
like to see-an international court
to deal in a judicial way with ques-
tons arising under international
treaties and under established inter
national law. That is the KIND or
a court which 1 proposed in my
resolution. What I contended for
was: First, the codification OF inter-
national law. You cannot have a
court unless you have a code of
laws under which It Is to act and
under the sanction OF which 1t Is
to make decisions.
You can no more have court
without law than you can have life
without air. But the present court
has no Jurisdiction, except by con-
sent of the parties. In other words,
it cannot construe International
treaties or International law unless
the parties see fit to submit a ques-
ton In a way of arbitra ton.
'''This court cannot acquire 1urls-
dlction, except by consent OF the
parties. which. Of course, makes
it a court of arbitration and places
control of the court and OF all
questions relative to the court
under the direction and control OF
the political influences OF the diff
ferent governments.
Has No Such Jurisdiction.
'The inference from Mr.. Hoover's
address last night would be that
this court has power upon the
initiative of any country to acquire
Jurisdiction to construe TREATIES and
