QUESTIONS
RICH 7 To
PASS BILL
Senator Nye Asks Vote
by States to Decide
on National Issue.
ASSAILS PROPOSALS
New Series of Reserva-
tiOns Is Presented by
Senator Swanson
By PAUL r, MALLON


Omitted Press Staff Corespondent)
WASHINGTON, Jan. ga reso-
luton calling national referendum
on the world court vas introduced
in the senate today by Gerald P.
Nye, independent Republican of
North Dakota, who, IN lis initial
speech, assailed the present proposal
for American adherence.
The 33 year old newspaper editor,
who was given his seat only few
days ago by narrow vote, declared
the court would bring the United
States little glory, much embarrass-
ment and great danger.
His resolution stated that whereas
the question is of such vital impor-
tance to the American people, the
senate has no moral right to pass
upon it, either negatively or affirm
atively "until the voice of the
American people shall have been
heard and heard distinctly above the
influence of the now attendant
propaganda.
Urges Vote by States
The scheme, if the resolutioa
should be adopted, would be to order
the secretary of the senate to advise
all state governors that the ques-
ton - shall the United States become
member of the world court created
by article IA of the covenant - the
League of Nations upon such reserva
tions or amendments, as the Presi-
dent and the senate may agree up
on!' shall be submitted to the people
in an election within six months.
Nye questioned the theory that
the American people were for the
court He introduced a telegram
sent throughout his state for the
peace organization, saying there was
"crisis' in the senate on the
world court and for all citizens to
wire their senators. Even with that
pressure, Nye said he received only
three kilograms favoring the court.

Seymour, Thompson, Hcald, Finney,
Roberts and Blaisdel citing many
dases to uphold their demurrer,
while they were met at every step
by Attorneys Horton and Perkins in

claimed this was an abbreviation of
the original.
Everything is lovely when the
goose honks high" To those claim
ants, the expression, THE Goose
Hangs High merely is a vagary Of
the old English, and therefore is not
to be countenanced.
Many people defend the author by
explaining that the title Of the play
is perfectly correct. These defend
ers use as their argument the New
England custom of hanging a
plucked goose in the arbor so it will
become tender for the day of the
feast. The children, seeing the hang
ing goose, and knowing it means a
full stomach, give vent to their hap
piness by crying "the goose hangs
high"
A most interesting explanation
comes from an Englishman, who
claims the expression originated in
England in the sixteenth century.
When the family and relatives
would gather for a fete day." says
the Britisher, land perhaps imbibe
a little too freely, dead goose was
hung by its feet from the limb OF
