the famous phrase:

The same idea applies to mining,

SENATE GETS

COURT VIEW
Executive Denies Adhesion to
League Tribunal Will SaCri-
flee U. S. Sovereignty
International News Service

In one of the shortest Presiden'
tial messages on record, President
Roosevelt today asked the Senate
to vote American adherence to
the League of Nations 'World"
Court.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message was de.
livered to the Senate as foes OF
American entry into the league
court, among them some of the
Administration Staunchest sup
porters on domestic policies, were
launching their fight against rat
ification.
In his message, the President
said American sovereignty will in
no way be affected by adherence
to the court, and that by ratifica-
ton the United States has an
opportunity once more to throw its
weight into the scale in favor Of
peace"
Ar9rehensive over the temper
Of! the opposition to this country's
entrances into sthe court, led by
Senator JohnsQi1 GR.) of Califor.
mia, and the prospects of pro-
longed debate at the expense Of
pressing economic problems in the
States, Mr.. Roosevelt decided to
send the Senate this message
during the day urging ratification.
Early Showdown Due
His action undoubtedly will
force an early showdown on the
13-year-old effort to bring this
country into the international
tribunal-an act the Senate cir
reconciliables" claim is merely
back-door entrance into the
League of Nations"
Before Mr.. Roosevelt's intention
to step into the breach, the Senate
leaders decided to sidetrack the
highly controversial issue from
time to time to permit enactment
of the Presidents legislative pro-
gram.
Senator johnson is prepared to
open the opposition's fight. It
will make the third time Senator
johnson has fought this issue on
the Senate floor. He was mill
tant leader of the opposition in
1925, when the Senate voted ad-
herence, and again in 1888 dur
ing a brief skirmish, when the
court fight was abandoned by
its advocates to save other legis.

This was the position the presi-

measure.
He said:
"WhiIe the fiscal year 1897 Is

stated, can be carried out with

About the flight, she remark
