Power Rests in Senate to Use the Court, and Sena tor Swan-ton"? Reserva tion Means Utile LEAGUE THE ISSUE This Explains Why the Fight Is Bring Fought and Why the Irreeonrilahle? v Are So Bitter |ty> DAVID I.AWItKN< i: <C*?yrt*tit. IMS. fc* Tfc? A **????> Washington. Jan. 26.?America will be 111 the World Court, and yet will noi be unless she chooses to be. Tliafi lb? paradox which c.ini.out of tli? compromise res ervation which Is lo be attached to (III' World Court protocol, and were It not for the fact that this Is a tight ngainfct t lie I.easue of ?Nations primarily and the World Court Incidentally. It would re-, move the last particle of opposi tion to American adherence to the International Court of Jus liCB. Senator Swansnn of Virginia. Democrat. has had the compro mise reservation up hi" sleeve many month?. He made no secret of It. however. This correspond ent'disclosed it? purport a few woeks ago and the Virginia Sena tor dwelt upon it In his opening speech. It provides that every time Ihe United States i? ready to use the World Court for the sub mission of any dispute, the Senate ?hali give Us permission by toe usual two-thirds vote. So Ameri ca can never, for all PT*et,"<? purpose?, be a member of the Court unless the Senate specifical ly ?Krees. If the alignment In the Bennt?- happens to be unfriendly to the submission of a dispute. America will not use the Court - and vice versa. Mr. Swanson offered his reser vatlon for th" simple reason that, ho knew very well America could not lulimlt a question to i- rbura tlon of any court of Justice any how unless the Senate agreed by u. a two-thirds vote. Whenever the ?f United States has a controversy BS with another nation and cannot settle it by the usual processes of displomacy It Is customary for both nation? to agree by treaty or convention to solve the problem some other way. That's what is called a protocol of submission, ir both partle? sere? to submit a matter to a certain tribunal, it re quires an agreement to the effect that they will each abide by the ?erdlct. The United States Oov ernm? nt so fsr as agreements with foreign power:* are concerned, comprises both the President and the United States Senate. The Chief Executive can not bind the United States to agree to the ver dict of any arbitration or to any tribunal's decision unless the Sen ate agrees too. It takes a two thirds vote in every case to make an International sgreement valid. Senator Swanson has really put - In reservation form something that In nothing more than consti tutional practice anyhow. In the face of these fscts. and also ion slderlng thst the pro Court foices aro willing to agree to a reaerta tlon permitting the United stat*8 | to withdraw from membership i* I the Court at any time, it will be asked why the antl Court forces still keep up their opposition. The answi r Is that they know at heart the World Court protocol is safe guarded as outlined, but they are far more Interested in the Impli cit rather than the explicit mean ing of America's sctlon In Joining the World Court. They fear It ^darUnds American association A with the League of Nations in oth V fin things later on. M, for the World Court Is the W ereatun <>f the League Covenant. I The K< i u hi leans lnaint It doesn't W mean ultimate entry into the ? league President Coolldge em ^ phatlcaily protests analnst Ameri can entry Into Ihe l*a?ue under his administration. But the Dem ocrats frankly say the opposite. They declare th*1 Recognition giv en the League by American entry Into the World Court Is a sign that tho United States simply can't stay out of the League. So the "Irreconcilable*" as the small band of sntl-Court Bens tors are known, are making an Intense fight to defeat Ihe (J0*""1 by one means or another. If the CouTt protocol Is adopted. It would not he surprising if the anti-Court group promptly Intro d need n resolution ssklng for Am h crtc.in withdrawal and agitated the matter for some time to come. Also they will wateh every act of | the court hoping for some fur ther basis for their argument that Amerik should wfthdraw. So far a* lho legislative pro aram I? mneerned, the disposi tion of the World Court Issue Is ?ery Important.

Jan. 26?The first silent hour of the 1926 interna tional radio teat week was neither silent nor international tu the cap ital. Working with a set accepted a* one of the most efficient of the new modela of receiver?, and ns alsted by reception conditions that were excellent, the writer was able to report at the end of the Inter national hour reception of noth ing more than the squeals of ti hundred or ao-called re-radiatlng recelvera. With the apparent closing of every station In the United States for the hour there waa not audible even a faint carrier wave, several of which misled thousands of llst enera last year Into believing they were hearing direct from Madrid or Edinburgh. The obvloua conclualon reached. 1 therefore, waa that reception of a ' program from a station distant j more than 2.000 miles transmit-! ted with power of not more than two kilowatts la impossible except < In the rarest Instances. WeatherVondltlons tor the first ' international hour were surpris ingly good in Washington. In the early eveping up until 11 o'clock, stationa in the middle Weat and the Southwest were heard with better than average volume. In particular WBAP at Fort Worth. The other, moreover, waa com pletely without static. Immed iately following the test hour, stations CZE. Mexico City. WFAA at Dallas, KTHS at Hot Springs and other long range transmitter? | were heard through the loud apeaker. Other unaueceaaful efforts to i tune in either European or Sooth | American stations were reported by various electrical engineers who worked diligently throughout the hour. Additional appeals to the own- ; era of re-radiating recelvera to de sist from working their sets or to tune them properly during the re maining test hours, are to be made by officials of the International Radio Week Committee. The silent hour Is to be ob- 1 served nightly by American ata-1 lions throughout Thursday. On Friday the hour will be oc- , cupied by the United States plants, the stations In the eastern stand ard time zono transmitting for the first IB minutes, those in the cen tral time zone the second 15 min utes, those In the Rocky Moun tain zone the third 15 minutes and , the Pacific Coast stations the fin al quarter of an hour. On Saturday night Canadian - stations will transmit the first j quarter of an hour, stationa In the Northern half of the United States the second quarter of an hour. ! stations In the Southern half of the United States the third fifteen minutes and the central and South American the final 15 mlnutea.
