j. S. COURT PLANS
FIND EUROPE COLD
Reservations Unlikely to Be
Accepted. Burton Tells
President.

BY the Associated Press.
American adhesion to the World
Court of Permanent Justice bobbed
up again today as a subject OF dis
cussion in the Nations capita.
While President Coolidge knows OF
no movement for withdrawal of the
United States proposal TO join the
Court. Representative Theodore Bur
ton. Republican, Ohio, who returned
from the sessions of the Interparlia
mentary Union at Geneva, Informed
the Chief Executive that European
nations are just AZ likely to accept
the Senate reservations as the Senate
is to change those conditions.
Meanwhile Senator Claude Swan
son, Democrat, Virginia. who drafted
the reservations, returned from Eu-
rope with doubts as 10 the success
of the disarmament conference in
Geneva or of payment of the French
war debt TO the United States under
the terms OF the Mellon Beranger
agreement Senator Swanson de-
clined to discuss the World Court
reservations until after they were
clear, and not open to any interpre-
tations that might be placed upon
them by member nations.
President Regrets Failure.
President Coolidge was pictured as
regretting that the recent Geneva
advisory conference did not approve
outright acceptance of the American
conditions Representative Burton
informed him that an impression
prevailed in Europe that the United
States already had been granted too
many concessions. and that Ameri-
can membership conditions should be
more acceptable to European powers.
Before any further action on the
court is taken. President Coolidge
will await the replies Of individual
nation members to the State Depart
ment letter detailing the position of
the United States and asking that
the reservations be accepted.
The only movement for withdrawal
of the United States adherence pro-
posal brought TO the Chief EXecu-
tive's attention has been that by Sen
ators opposed to court membership.
Leading European proponents of
disarmament. Representative Burton
said in comment on the recent
Geneva conference action in con-
voking a general disarmament meet
ing next September believed that any
immediate gathering on that subject
would be premature.
Doubts Naval Reduction.
Senator Swanson said that no SUBJ
stantial naval reduction would come
in Europe until the Mediterranean
and English Channel problems have
been settled. He added that the
obstacle was the fact that France.
Italy and some smaller European ma
tions, being unable to compete with
Great Britain in capital ship con-
Btruction. are attempting to overcome
this by increasing their aircraft and
submarines.
Surprise over the lack Of Euro
pean appreciation of the liberal terms
of the American debt settlements
was expressed by the Virginia SEN
Rtor who added that Americans were
not greeted with the former cordiality
and warmth because the French
people did not know the terms of
the agreement.
only the French side had been
presented to them, he continued. and
they did not realize that the United
States has agreed to cancel all of
the pre-armistice French debt

Held Subject by Appeals Board.

The Board of Tax Appeals, in a case
brought by A. l.. Voyer of Wisconsin.
