WITH PRESIDENT HARD
ING pOCATELLO, Idaho, June
28.-It is pretty largely up to
Pre3idont Harding whether
Henry Ford's presidential boom
becomes an organized drive
against the two major parties,
in the opinion Of Senator Borah,
who Joined the presidential
party here today.
If Mr. Harding will satisfy the
people of the great west on his
present trip that he will deal effect
lively with the question of farm
freight rate reductions and other
pressing domestic questions, Ford s
boom, now becoming a definite
movement will not be so strong,
Borah holds But if the president
does not be specific on domestic
questions and evidences a determi-
nation to meet the situation there
is no telling how solidiy the west
will get behind Ford IN Borah s
Judgment.
Il Pleads for World Court
President Harding today carried
Borah s home state and in speech
plea for world court TO Senator
mere declaret.:
II cherish American aloofness
and independence from the intrigues
and entaglements of Europe as much
as any, but we have seen a great
uphea> al and sacrifice and we must
do whatever is possible TO prevent
any armed contLct III the future. [
firmly believe our adherence to
the world court Will be a step that
way. - He said he joins with
LABOR in opposing arbitration. 1
have never said tnat before but /
have come to learn that arbitration
requires an umpire and that the
chances of dead settlement are
some times endangered. But if we
have real court with real Judges
we will get fair and proper decisions
OF international questions.
Warns Railroad Men
To railroad men he said:
''You have no right under any
conditions to cause n suspension of
service. The government has no
right to prevent you from stopping
your work, but you should enter the
rJtuIIc Seislce unuer an agieemelit
for settlement of grievances before
they lead TO rupture of service.
Politicians in Idaho told Borah
the Ford boom was the dominant
factor in the political situation
there. A Ford organization is be-
ing effected in every voting pre-
einct in the state, he said. Borah
does not expect Ford will get the
democratic nomination. If he is a
candidate it win be as the leader of
II movement voicing the dissatis-
faction against the two old parties,
Borah believes. The west welcomes
President harding's stand for com
plete enforcement of the world court
from the league of nations with
enthusiasm.
Harding Ploases West
Mr.. Harding's explicit stand on
this point pleases the west, Borah
said, because it removes the world
court as a controversial issue aud
gives promise that there will be two
separate domestic questions.
The world court question will ul-
timately be worked out in the SEN
ate in a way that will permit Am
erican adherence to the tribunal,
Borah believes, though he does not
look for an immediate decision this
winter. He believes that in place
of Mr.. Harding S plan for self
perpeuating court the senate will
find some means of using the Hague
tribunal as the machinery of setting
up and maintaining the court.
The presidential train crossed into
idaho this morning after two days
in Utah. Yesterday Mr.. Harding
and his party motored l50 miles TO
spend three hours in Zion National
Park. Mr.. Harding aud his phys
ieian DR.. Sawyer rode up Zion can.
