court with the proposed reservations.
Thus they came to be known as the
Harding Hughes Coolidge reservations.
These reservations were part of the
republican platform in 1924, but the
managers Of that campaign were care
full not to emphasize them, devoting
their time to talk about prosperity and
the dangers Of chaos in the country
in case the three tickets threw the
election into congress. But, in hts
message to congress on December 4,
1924, Coolidge again raised the ques-
ton with the well-known reservations.
1t was plain to everyone that the
republican administration intended to
force the United States into the world
court. The republican insurgents,
realizing the fact that a powerful
coalition of Coolidge republicans and
Morgan democrats would be created
in favor Of the proposition started
terrific campaign against the ad-
herence of this country to the court.
AS counter blast Edward Box,
vice-president of the VIGOROUSLY scab
Curtis Publishing company, and one
of the Wall Street gang, took up the
cudgels for the House of Morgan.
Then ensued an unprecedented cam
paign wherein millions upon millions
of dollars were spent in order to get
the United States into the court and
thereby create another political
weapon for American imperialism in
its struggle against Great Britain for
world domination.

"concourse of best minds" who direct;
ed the Harding campaign conceived
the notion of entering the league Of
nations through the world court In
order to do this they proclaimed the
court something separate and apart
from the league, although 1t was
created by the league, the judges are
selected by the league and are paid
from the league treasury.
Hughes Brain contortlon
The eminent corporation lawyer
and then secretary of state, Mr..
Charles Evans Hughes, was assigned
the task of camouflaging the world
court so it would not be recognized
as the door to the league. In his let
ter of February II, 1923, recommend
ing to Harding the adherence Of this
country to the court, Hughes said:
an order to avoid any question
that adhesion to the protocol and
acceptance Of the statute Of the
court would involve any legal re-
lationship on the part Of the United
States to the league Of nations or
the assumption of any obligation by
the United States under the coVen-
ant of the league Of nations, II
would be appropriate, II so desired,
to have the point distinctly reserved
as part Of the terms Of the ad-
hesion on the part of this govern
ment." wa
One week later Harding submitted
the protocol to the senate. In his
letter on that occasion. he took note
of the objection to our adherence be-
cause of the courts organization UNI
der the auspices of the league of ma

anti-court elements.
He opened his campaign in New
York on April "a, and stated that
although he was in favorNof the world
court the United States had definite
ly and decisively put aside all
thought" of entering the league of ma
tions and that it does not propose to
enter now by the side door or by the
back door (as Borah charged-H. M
W. or the cellar door" (Harding's
favorite door, Nothing, said Har-
ding, could be stamped more firmly
with fnality."
Harding waited for the main de-
Tense of the world court until he got
to st. Louis, where on the evening
of June 81 he devoted his entire
speech to the question, advocating our
adherence to it with two reservations
which he said were indispensable:
First, that the tribunal be SO con-
stituted as to appear and to be, in
theory and practice, In form and in
substance, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, a world court, and not a
league court. Second, that the
United States shall occupy place
Of perfect equality with every other
country.

tons and its relation thereto" and
also transmitted the Hughes letter
containing the brain contortions of
that political trickster.
Thus the proposal to enter the court
was to be accompanied by certain de-
mands known then as the Harding
Hughes reservations. The most i'm
portant OF the four reservations stipu-
lated that the rule that only members
Of the league of nations are entitled
to a voice in the election of judges
be changed to permit the United
States to have voice in such cleo
tions. Another was that this country
would not be bound by any decision
unless it specifically presented the
matter to the court for an opinion.
Such reservations were compatible
with the interests of the House of
Morgan, as they defend the United
States from any hostile decision that
might be handed down by the court
and at the same time permit Amer
lean judges to decide cases submitted
by other nations.
Harding's Last Campaign.
When the sixty-seventh congress adj
journed on March 4, 1923, it was ap-
parent that the irreconcilable repub-
licans who had fought against Wilson
and his league of nations program
were preparing to challenge the Har-
ding Observation-Disclosures the next
presidential campaign was only year
away. So Harding was sent on tour
of the nation to patch his political
fences, hoping they would be immune

A LTHOUGH elected on an anti
a league platform in 1920, Warren
G. Harding soon found his administra-
ton forced to make concessions to
the powerful group of Wall Street
bankers with heavy investments in
Europe. Obtaining his main support
from the industrialist group, whose
imperialist designs were confined to
the republics of South and Central
America, Harding carried on a de-
termined fight against the Morgan
Wilson policy of becoming a part of
the league of nations.
BY 1921 when Harding was inaugur-
ated the period of great mergers were
in full swing. The industrialists that
furnished the backbone of the sup
port of the republican party came I'M
der the domination of finance capital.
Simultaneous with this shifting of
economic forces the House of Nor
gan concentrated It's political forces
toward control of the republican
party. The pressure of Wall Street
forced Harding to call the Washington
arms conference in an effort to stabil-
ize Europe so that the enormous sur
plus of gold accumulated in this
country could be profitably reinvested
In the early part of 1923 the repub-
lican party was forced to reverse its
policy toward Europe and the league
of nations. It was impossible for the
republican party to make a complete
right-about-faee on the league policy.

CLOSES DISCUSSION ON
PARTY'S ORGANIZATIONAL REPORT

we must approach the middle peasant
from the influence Of the village
usurer, we must rally the village poor
around us and at the same time form
the alliance of the village poor and
the village peasantry. The speaker
dealt further with the question of
state capitalism and argued against
the opinion of the Opposition that our
economic system is state capitalist.
OPEAKING against zinoviev's slogan
~ Of Equality" Molotov stressed
the fact that Lenin had not spoken
for nothing upon the danger of swindle
thru the slogan Freedom and Equali-
ty." The slogan Equally" as the
slogan of the destruction of classes
was always, is and will always be the
slogan of our party. To speak in gen.
eral about equality for both classes
making up our state, can mean for the
working class a socialist equality. for
the petty bourgeois masses and for
the peasantry, however, this slogan
can mean the equality Of both classes.
For this reason, this slogan in an in
definite and equivocal form is at the
present moment completely imper-
missible.
The speaker then dealt with the or
ganizational questions of cur party. If
the active proletarian masses around
the party continually grew, then the
party will increase itsr membership
from these masses and its growth will
be correctly regulated. But the party
must remain the strongly organized
advance guard of the working class.
The Leningrad comrades want the
party to be flooded. ocA
TN the question of the party DEM
ocracy which the opposition, since
1t has been in the minority, stresses
particularly, the speaker pointed out
that particularly in the elections for
the party congress and in the gov
ernments committee in Leningrad the
principle of party democracy was
very badly applied.
The comrades in Leningrad certain
ly knew nothing about the platform of
the opposition. Nevertheless this plat
form has been presented at. the party
congress in their name. Also If the
opposition wishes to alter the system
Of the leading party organs and to
create new relation between the
polit bureau and the secretariat, it
must first of all convince the party Of
the correctness of its views. But until
then the polit bureau will remain the
leading organ Of the central commit
tee and carry out the ufrm unifying
party policy. (Applause.)
THE speaker closed by expressing
the certainty thatNthe Leningrad
organization would rally around the
central committee as tile active party
comrades of the Vib0rg district Of
the Leningrad organization had al
ready done. The meeting Of the active
party comrades expressed the firm
conviction yesterday THAT the Lenin-
grad organization as a1'whole would
support the party congress-. Long
applause of the whole party congress-
protests of the Leningrad comrades.)
The party congress expects, wishes
and hopes that the Leningrad organ
ization as the whole will go the way
of the party congress.
