C0OL IDGE
To DROP
COURT
Decides Nation Is Against
Needs of l1isrIoa 10 Isad
His Program
~ John /. ] BIBERT.

President Coolidge has today
definitely abandoned AL thought
Of forcing q vote on the World
Court and Of involving the next
Congress in any row over foreign
policies.
The World Court, League Of
Nations, and other suggestions Of
foreign entanglements are as dead
in this Administration as John
Browns body.
The policy Of the Coolidge Adj
ministration will be, "Take care
Of America first"
Quiet Referendum.
President Coolidge has conducted
q quiet, simple referendum among
his friends and visitors and has
verified from them his own strong
opinion that the people OF this
country want to be kept free from
the ENVIRONMENTS and connections
OF other nations and peoples.
He believed in the League Of Ma.
tons, years ago. He was associated
with the Murray Crane Republicans
who were anxious for its success.
Regardless of whatever opinion
he now holds in the matter, how
ever, he is enough of a democrat
to believe that the duty of Presi-
dent is to carry out the clearly
expressed will Of the public and
not to force ideas down their
throat against their will.
League Issue Settled.
He feels also that the League of
Nations policy was settled by the
second last session of Congress
and that the World Court was a
Harding idea solely. Mr.. Harding's
friends have informed him that the
late Presidents theory was as
though to say to the people:
This is how l feel about the
World Court. Take it or leave it.
I will abide by your decision"
Near the close of his fatal tour,
Mr.. Harding was said to have
been convinced that the American
public did not want the World
| Court.
Mr.. Harding left the Court in the
United States Senate. There II
may slumber forever. Republican
leaders will not revive it and force
a vote upon it through any urging
of President Coolidge.
Political Reasons,
The third and most important rea
son for President Coolidge's atti
tude is based upon practical politi
cal grounds. He believes that his
entire program Of domestic legtsla
ton will be sacrificed IL he pro
vokes the Senate into a wrangle
over foreign-policy issues. Europe's
ills must not interfere with Ameri
cas- woes. Freight rates, the bonus
the high price of caol, the farmers
plight, and the saving of the Amer
lean merchant marine are but a few
of the domestic issues which con
front him. He recognizes that the
public will judge him by his sue
cess or failure upon such issue.

By r. d. THOMAS.

In sport parlance, the world
series pantomirne, conceived by
Harry Coleman and executed by
United States Marines, is knock
out. Anyway, thousands who saw
the first game plan to return to
American League Park today, and
watch the second battle between
the Giants and Yankees. This
much was indicated by talk Of the
fans as they left Mr.. Clark Grit
fith's place of business still ting
ling with the excitement of Casey
Stengel's tremendous clout that
won the Giants a great victory.
They saw that walIop at the
Washington ball park. The Marines
put it over right, the hitting and
the fielding of it being so clearly
portrayed as to bring every one
of the thousands to their hoofs
yelling.
PantOmimlsts Excited.
Even the Marines themselves.
throwing all their spirit into their
work as pantomimists, appeared to
be excited. The Devil Dogs repre-
senting the Giants dashed from the
dugout and howled like mad men
in high glee.
The opening contest gave the
Marines the training needed to per-
feet their stunt, so today's per-

pass the first in brilIiance.
