World Court Membership.

In view Of the traditional policy Of
the United States in favor Of the
peaceful settlement of disputes be-
tween nations, it is somewhat difficult
to understand expectations Of 4 great
political controversy over President
tIarding'S proposal for adherence to
the protocol establishing the Perma-
nent Court of International Justice at
The Hague. 1t would be difficult to
find an intelligent American who was
not in favor Of some kind Of an in
terRational court and willing that his
country should be 4 member Of it..
The only possible chance for a contro-
versy, therefore, is over the form Of
such membership. and as that is q
matter Of detail rather than Of princi-
pie, there ought not to be any serious
difficulty in reconciling differences OF
opinion.
In his speech at Des Moines last
night Secretary Hoover analyzed the
opposition to President Harding's pro-
posal and answered objections to it..
The objection most often advanced
Is that membership in the court would
involve us in the political affairs Of
Europe. In answer to this, Mr..
Hoover points out that the DEGREES Of
the court are based on the processes
OF law, not upon political agreements,
and that enforcement of these de-
crees rests, not upon force, but upon
public opinion. Under the terms Of
the proposal as submitted to the Sen.
ate, the United States would go into
the court only Of its own volition; 1t
could be summonsed in neither by the
court nor any other nation. There.
fore, we would not be required to sub.
NIT to the court any questions which
we regarded as non n-juridical or which
we held as Of too vital interest to be
adjudicated.
There is nothing in the proposal, Mr..
Hoover insists, which possibly could
be construed as entering the league
Of nations, by the back door or any
other door. The league exercises no
control over the court and the court
has no obligation to the league. The
only connection between them Is that
the judges are selected by the repre-
sentatives Of the nations which are
members OF the league sitting as an
elective body. It is this elective body,
he argues. and not the league, the
United States would join, and the
Hughes reservations would make it
plain that we took over no obligations
other than to participate in the cleo
ton Of the judges and to contribute
q relatively trifing sum toward the
expenses Of the court.
Secretary Hoover having opened
the public debate in behalf Of the
administration, it is to be expected
that opponents Of the proposal will
now come forward and state their
views, and by the time Congress con-
venes, next December, there ought
to he a clearing up Of all doubtful
points and such a crystallization Of
sentiment for or against court men,
bership that the matter can be dis
posed Of without prolonged debate in
the Senate.

WILL LEAVE MONASTERY
FOR ROBES OF BISHOP

MARQUETTE, Mich, Jan. H.
Late this month the Ri. Rev. Paul
Joseph Nussbaum will leave the Sc
