/ The platform declared for It in 1920
and again in 1924 and both Presi-

Deneen Expects Adoption
! Before leaving White Court today.

! Senator Deneen gave IL as his opin-
| ion that the party's platform on the
| World Court would be adopted by the
/ next Senate. Il believe" he said.
that the World Court proposal Will
! be adopted in some form, but | am
doubtful whether the pending proto-
| col will be accepted. The divergent
/ views in the Republican party have
| TO be considered and compromises
/ effected
! Senator Deneen declared that the
/ st. Lawrence Canal issue and the prof
| ect fostered by Illinois TO give thai
| State water communication TO the
/ Gulf win be one OF the big issues
which the West and the Great Lake
States would support in the next Con
/ gress. As 10 a program on farm
legislation, Senator Deneen said that
was a matter that must be worked
! out by legislators familiar with the
needs OF the agricultural sections.
May Mean Delay.
! President Coolidge may have 10 ac-
cept modification of the World Cour,
proposal and submit to codification of
international law before the Senate
/ will agree to adherence to the court
/ The attitude OF the administration, as
recently expressed by Secretary Kel-
! logg, is that if the United States
tNr-li iral
tlonal law IL would never join the
court. He thinks that this country
/ should become d member of the court
and that international law could be
built up by the Interpretation of such
a court.
There is probability. however.
/ that some OF the opposition to the
court may be overcome II the United
states consents to summon new
conference for codifcation of interna-
/ tional law, continuing the work of the
second Hague Conference. Such
proposal, it is understood, will be
formulated by the Interparliamentary
! Union, which will meet in Washing
/ ton October 1.
Senator Borah. chairman of the
| foreign relations committee. contends
/ that international law must precede
! American membership in the court
! He argues that there can be no proper
decision of a World Court without a
codification of international law
/ Those supporting the administration
! including former Secretary OF State
Hughes, former Attorney General
/ George W. Wickersham and other
/ eminent jurists and publicists declare
! that practices under international law
are well understood and that such a
court can proceed without the whole
| system being codified.
Coolidge Anxious for Settlement.
| President Coolidge is most desirous
1 of getting the World Court out Of the
way and 1t is understood he will agree
i TO compromises If the spirit of the
! party declaration on the court can
! be carried out.
! The big fear is that so many of
! the Senators counted favorable to
J American adhesion will insist upon
/ such reservations that even if the res
! olution is approved II will contain
| stipulations that will make it impossi
] BILE for other powers to accept the
! American conditions. That. IN fact
/ is believed to be one of the reasons
/ for the visit ~of Senator Pepper of
Pennsylvania, who is coming here the
end of the week.
! The Senator has a plan for Amer
| lean adhesion to the court which. if
carried out, absolutely would divorce
! the court from the league. which
created it. Heretofore the admins

sition to this
The Washington meeting of the
Interparliamentary Union will be its

question Of codification of interna-
tional law, the first on the agenda

President Coolidge is actually get

more attention to public questions
than would be the case IL he were

leader of the Senate, and will consider
