YHE WILSON PLAN
Unconditional Adhesion
or Defeat Whole
Plan
By LAWRENCE MARTIN,
nlted Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, April 18.--
Woodrow Wilson has assumed ac-
tive direction of Democratic STRAIT.
egy in the fight on the Harding
world court appeal.
Wilson, in conference with Sena-
tor Carter Glass and others, has
mapped out program, which, if
carried ont, will put Mr.. Harding in
predicament like that which Viii
son faced in the league Of nations
fight In the senate.
The Wilson plan is to force Mr..
Harding to choose between:
/. Unconditional American ad-
hesion to the world court Of the
league Of nations.
9. Defeat Of his entire plan for
American participation in the court.
The fight will center on the
Harding Hughes reservation to the
court protocol. Hughes submitted
and Harding approved these reserva-
tions as protecting American rights
and traditions and has asked the
senate to ratify the protocol with
the reservations.
Wilson s Stand
AS Wilson stated in his letter to
Representatives Rouse of Kentucky
he is not opposed to membership
on these restricted terms, but to
the terms. If it is supported by
Democratic senators it will eventu-
ally force to the front again the
clear cut issue Of American mem
bership in the league Of nations as
against the various other piecemeal
plans for American participation in
efforts to prevent war, Wilson be.
lieves.
If the reservations are beaten
Harding, Hughes and Lodge will
then have to decide whether to vote
for unconditional court membership
which the Democrats will support
almost solidly or to turn to the
plan of their own suggestion and
prevent its adoption.

day throughout the season. insofar
as it is possible to do so. The
leased wire service closes at 3

all games, even those played in the
middle west. However, extra inn.

yond the wire service time, in which
event it will be impossible to print
the scores, but this only happens in

In addition to the scores, the
