D. s. IS HARDLY.
|. IN COURT YET
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

By GEORGE r. HOLMES
Three years of tumult and
shouting over the World Court,
came to an end today. America
is in the court, theoretically at
least, and official Washington
began to take stock Of just what
American adherence to the League
tribunal means.
Both sides emerged from the
memorable struggle with .
measure of victory.
Those who have consistently
advocated American adherence
claimed q great moral victory;
those who have fought bitterly
against it found their satisfaction
in the stringent, even devastating
reservations that were attached,
and claimed the practical if not
the moral victory.
Bitterness Remains
But for the bitterness that re-
manned today---and 1t is real bitter
ness in the Senate-it might
truthfuIIy be said that both sides
are fairly well satisfied.
America is theoretically in the
couPt-yet actual American partici-
patton Is still a long way off, and
is hedged about with so many ifs,
ands, and butts, that court decision
affecting the United States appears
only in the dim and misty future.
In the first place, the emascula'
ting reservations attached to the
original Harding-Hughes proposal
without which 1t could not have
passed-must be ratified by 40
other nations before American adj
herence becomes an actual fact.
Each of these 80 nations must, by
an exchange Of notes with the State
Department, signify its Willingness
to let America come in on her own
terms.
This procedure alone may take
several years. International ma
chinery is cumbersome. 1t moves
slowly, as evidenced by the fact
that the Washington conference
treaties. now four years old, are not
yet completely ratified.
Should even the smallest of
these nations, Costa Rica. Latvia,
Domingo, let alone the great DOW
ers like France. Italy, Japan or
Great Britain, decline to give their
consent to America adhering to
the court on terms so radically
different from their own, then the
Senate's vote of adherence last
night means nothing. The whole
business Is invalidated.
The little band of irreconcilahles
that so bitterly opposed American
adherence, however. claimed their
greatest victory In the reservations.
Withdrawal Easy
Briefly, these provide that Amer
lea may withdraw at any time;
that no advisory opinion can be
rendered CONCERNING any case In
which the United States has an
interest "or claims an interest,
without the express consent OF the
The Washington times., 1926-01-28

over the determination Of what. II
any. eases involving American in-
terests shall be submitted to the
operation of International justice.
1t represents distinct loss for
Executive power in the handling of
international relations, and a dis
tinct gain In power for the Senate
in the never-ending conflict with
the executive branch of the Gov
eminent.
One of the principal effects OF
the Senate's vote, therefore, ap-
peared today to be a material tight
ening of the Senate's grip on the
conduct of international relations.
Sixty-six Senators must consent be-
fore the.World Court can deal with
any question In which the United
States has, or claims to have, an
interest.

Col. Durkee Heads Move to

II plans Of LOGAN reserve officers
work out San Antonio soon will be a

Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Durkee,
commanding officer of Special Troops,
Ninetieth Division, and member of the
national council, Organized Reserves
association. has made the suggestion,
dnofficially, to Washington.
He and other San Antonio resery .
sists suggest that staff officers from
all Organized Reserved divisions be
sent to San Antonio each winter for
training with the Second Division.
CLIMATE IDEAL.
"Stan officers can only learn
proper division administration
through training with an intact divi.
sion," Colonel Durkee said. "Since
the Second Division is the only in
tact division in the army and Texas
is tn comfy place where the climate is
suitable for winter training, San An.
tonic is the logical place for . train.
ing CENTER"
There are "A reserve divisions in the
United States. According to Colonel
Durkee staffs Of three or four divi-
sions could be trained here at one
time. Regulations provide only two
weeks training fer reservists but Col
onel Durkee believes the period should
be heightened to at least a month.
SAN ANTONIO LEADS.
"San Antonio has been known for
years as the leading training center
of the army and there is no reason
why it should not be the trainino
center for the Organized Reserves,
Colonel Durkee said.
The only thing that holds our pro.
posed training project back is lack of
funds. We are asking an increased
for routine work and il
that goes through We will try TO get
more money to put our plan throu~l"

AUSTIN, Jan. 2.-That Texas is
enjoying an unprecedented era Of

heretofore reached by the department
was two years ago when the receipts

Railway Company for extension from

1t is pointed out in the states brief
that material interests Of the state and
military necessities of the United States

served is of great size with q large
and growing population. and Of great

Within the past ten years." con-

territory proposed to be served have
increased many fold, this resulting
from a large growth in population.
This growth is constantly increasing

First Break in Coolidge
Machine Comes as Tink-
ham Takes Decided Stand.
By CHARLES N. WHEELER

Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
BOSTON, Jan. 2-Congressman
George Holden Tinkham. Of Boston,
staunch Republican and lifelong
friend Of President Coolidge, has is
sued an appeal TO Massachusetts, and
New England to rise against the pro-
posed American adhesion TO the World
Court.
This e the first open break in the
Coolidge-Butler organization in the
home state since the national ad-
uInistration swung behind the court.
There are indications that the breach
in the G. O. p. machinery will be
videned percepdbly and seriously
shortly.
Mr.. Tinkham, with three hundred
years Of Americanism behind him, in
innate Of the late Senator Lodge and
author Of the bin now pending In
Congress for q national monument to
the late senator, makes the flat-foot-
cd statement that Massachusetts, is
opposed to the court.
SWATED By DANGER.
h this taking issue with Presi-
dent Coolidge and Chairman Butler
he makes 1t plain that be is not
swayed BY personal considerations.
but solely by the peril he sees con-
fronting the United States.
he says It is even greater than In
1920. He calls upon the people of
New England to rally az they did
behind Senator Lodge In the other
fight, and predicts that the uprising
will take place.
As Q result Of this sppesl. New
England States, local experts ap-
pear to foresee, again may take the
lead in the fight to keep the country
out Of the European political family.
In his call TO the home folks to
speak out, among other things, he
says:
Both New England and the eoun-
try look TO Massachusetts for the as
serticn Of patriotic principles, and
virile leadership.
SEES DIRECT PERIL.
Massachusetts is opposed 10 In.
ternationalism and her position should
not be misrepresented, but demon
strated to the country.
sTbe direct assault upon the in
tegrity Of our nationality now being |
made By the internationalists should |
be repealed here and now.
~The attack now being made upon |
our national independence and lib |
erty is more subtle today than 1t was
in 1920, and, therefore. is more dan
gerous. Propaganda from unpatriotic |
sources, international finance and the |
occult influence Of alien interests |
have spread q menacing net over the
United States in relation to this is
