SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. September
9.-The President is represented
as feeling very hopeful regarding
the adoption of the World Court
resolution by the Senate at the com
ing session The President has been
advised that the proposal has been
steadily gaining in strength since the
adjournment of the Senate and that
when the subject comes before that
body December II the admins
tration will be able to muster suf
fcient support to assure United States
adherence to the court.
The President is not represented
however, as expecting the original
Harding -Coolidge-Hughes plan of ad-
herence to be adopted by the Senate
without some modification and with
out some protraCted debate. On the
contrary. the President was repre-
sented by his spokesman today as
feeling that the resolution will be
adopted only after long consideration
He realizes that there are a number
of Republican Senators who ordi-
narily would support anything within
reason that the administration advo-
Gated, but who must be won over be-
fore they will support this proposed
international step.
DaSeu on League aversion.
This opposition il is we'll known. is
based solely upon the feelings of these
Senator's toward the League of
Nations.
They will agree to nothing. despite
the fact that it has the Endorsement
of the President. and has been prom
lsed in the platform of their party.
II there is the slightest chance of
linking the United States up with the
league.
No one understands this attitude
on the part of a number of Repub-
Ilcan Senators any better than Presi-
dent Coolidge and those members of
the Senate upon whom he is depend-
ing to win the World Court fight next
december. Senator Watson. who
makes no secret of the fact that he
is one of the bitterest foes of the
league, and that he will vote against
this resolution unless he is given
every assurance that this Nation is
safeguarded from any league rela-
tlonShip, only last week went over
the question with the President
The Indiana Senator said afterWard
that he is only one of a number of
Senators who feel as he does about
the league. and that they must be
shown very clearly just where this
country is stepping when it enters
the World Court before they will vote
Tor II. 1t is understood however, that
Senator Watson intimated to the
President that those senators who
teel as he does about the league can
be won over by properly constructing
the wording of the resolution.
New Arms Farley Seen.
Assurance was given at White
Court today that President Coolidge
has not abandoned his idea to hold
another Disarmament Conference in
w ashlngton. 1t was explained that
he is .Iperely awaiting the arrival of
the appropriate moment to send out
invitations to the foreign nations to
participate.
This is taken in official circles here
as to be an unofficial announcement
TO the world that the President is
not deferred by the announcement
from Geneva by Premier Painleve of
France that the League should take
up the question of calling something
in the nature Of an Arms Conference.
Regarding the Premisrs suggestion.
II was explained that President Cool
ldge while not wanting to do any
thing that would obstruct, any action
the League might want to take, and
is willing to hold off any steps he is
contemplating, he still has in mind
the calling of another Washington
Conference.
1t was explained further that the
President has been hoping that the
affairs in Europe would shape them
selves so as to make it appropriate
= for him to issue a call. He waited
for the settlement Of the reparations
issue and the security pact and the
disposition of other problems in
Europe, but now that the subject has
been brought up at the present ses-
sion of the League of Nations. he
finds II necessary to wait longer.
AS to the place in which to hold
another arms conference the President
was represented today as naturally
favoring Washington, but that in his
opinion the main thing is TO have a
conference and to have it meet with
success, and not the place where it
is to be held
The latter is of minor Importance
according to his way of thinking.
