NEW YORK. January 10.-Address-
ing the thirty-ninth annual dinner OF
the Ohio Society of New York to-
night, Representative Theodore r.
Burton of Ohio advocated that the
United States join the World Court
with such reservations as have been
recommended as essential by the ad-
niniStration." He said that Such a
court was "distinctively an American
conception" and that the movement
for such n tribunal has come from
our country far more than from any
other"
We cannot deny that the World
Court is an organization which prom
ises results of general benefit, ne
said. THE question is: Do we wish
to stand by our traditional ATTITUDE
or shall we refuse because the plan
was formulated by a league 10 Whlch
we do not belong?
IF we desire to participate IN
World Court we must recognize the
fact that there are more than so ma
+ions which are members of the league
If we ignore those members with
whom shall we join? 1t must be with
Russia. Turkey and other Impossible
nations"

Republicans having clear cut md
ioritv in both Houses would De one
of the most efficient legislative bodles
,1ea a
in favor of barring from Republican
partv councils the followers of senator
Ia Toilette in the recent Presidential

can candidate"
Still Fighting Party.
"These men," he declared, cannot
and ought not to be ciassed as re
pubIicans in the next Congress. Ihey
left the Republican party deliberate
" and did everything possible toward
It's undoing Their leaders admit that
from the first they carried the ngnt
to the Republican ticket in the cam
paign. They assert now that the
fight has just begun.
"ShalI we take them to our bosom
and keep them in the inner chambers
of our party councils? To do so, in
nv opinion, would be to deliberately
ignore the mandate of the last efec-
tion by which the Republican party
was commissioned to carry out
definite legislative program and to
adhere to certain fundamental gov
ernmental principles.
LAS l interpret that mandate 1t I'M
poses upon US the duty of seeing that
the machinery to execute it shall be
made as efficient as possible and
surely that could not be done if we
were to put in key positions in the
next Congress men who have opposed
and are opposing that program and
who have sought and are seeking the
destruction of the very foundations
upon which, as we hold, our govern
mental structure is based"
The Republican leader expressed the
opinion that the most pressing of all
problems still is the reduction of
Government expenditures through
economy "to the very bedrock level
and the sponding reduction in
taxes which he said still are "a bur
den upon industry, business and all
forms of human endeavor."
Il feel safe" he added, "in making
you the promise that this can and will
be done by the next Congress"
