Nations and insisted that the nations
foreign policy should be decided al

Senator johnson, who returned
Monday from Europe where he talked
with leading statesmen of many coun-
tries, expressed his views at din

tee composed largely of men who
supported the late Theodore Roose-
welt In his third party campaign for
the presidency In 1912.

Charles M. Schwab, Louis Evan Ship
man, Congressman A. B. Rossdal, Col.
Thomas L. Miller, Walter s. Dryfoos,
August Teckscher and e. F. Albee.
Many friends of the senator have
doomed him as q presidential candi-
date next year and 1t was noted with
interest that his views on America s
entrance into the world court direct
ly clashed with those set forth by
President Harding.
George Harvey, ambassador, to
Great Britain. was among the diners.
He was surrounded byreporters on his
arrival and urged to make a state
ment.
~Yes. / have nothing to say" he
replied. =
Later he said he had come to the
dinner to hear Senator johnson
speak"
Says Europe Ignores Court.
s'Nobody in Europe cares rap for

johnson declared. MANY may care
very much whether we get into it.
Nobody expects the World Court to
solve any provocative international
problems; but many expect If the
United States can be lured into 1t, the
United States is on the way not only
to the League of Nations but to full
participation in European affairs"
However we'll intended" he added,

people that the international court
will stop war or that 1t will have the
slightest effect upon wars. 1t is an
utterly futile agency for peace--it

that bloody war Is no concern Of ours
and comes from causes OF which we

part, just one method TO render real
service-speak our voice frankly and
boldly, be true to our own institu-

cratic president of the United states
did not hesitate to express the views
of our country in foreign affairs. And

can of the generation spoke In clarion
tones of Americas foreign policy ana
all the world listened.
| Free, independent. unfettered by
league or association, court or con-
ference, America can speak and the
world will heed"
Senator johnson said he did not
question the good faith OF President
Harding In asking for Americas en-
trance into the world court, nor the
fact that he believes he may ac-
complish the seemingly impossible
task. but aside from his few advisers.
/ think there is quite substantial
disagreement with him
Realizing that in 1920 Secretaries
Hughes and Hoover of President
Hardings cabinet had urged Amer
icas entrance into the league, ana
had since changed their minds, Sen
ator Johnson pointed out that they
were now believed to be among the
chief sponsors of the world court.
He said he congratulated them that
they had seen the "error of their
ways" and asserted. II may be par
doned, therefore, in suggesting TO
you the vehemence of their views
three years ago upon a most impor-
tant international policy, views which
they now have changed; and we may
be pardoned. too, in accepting re-
spectfully but with a bit of caution
their present views upon less i'm
portant international policy"

ciared. tThey Know that we have

that while Denmark is wiser about
European affairs, the United States is

and one of the worlds largest reser-

Americas own simple problems are
too stiff to be solved. the senator !
said, without attempting to solve the
sitter problems of Europe, America,
he said, has not learned how to
bring about peace in the mines Of
West Virginia; to establish friendly
relations between the Ku Klux Khan
and the Catholics, Jews and Negroes;
