WORLD COURT
American Adherence Urged ROOSEVELT’S MESSAGE Opponent Issues Warning in Reply By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 17, 7.50 p.m.) Washington, January 16. President Roosevelt sent a message to the Senate to-day urging American adherence to the Permanent Court of International Justice, “a movement to make international justice practicable and serviceable and which is not subject to partisan considerations of sovereignty at this period in international relationships when every act is of moment to the future of world peace. The United States has an opportunity once more to throw its weight in the scale in favour of peace,” At the same time Senator Johnson, leading opponent to adherence, in a bitter address issued a warning against entanglement, declaring that adherence would mean United States entry to the League of Nations. He insisted this was the worst moment to ask the United States to join the court, for Europe sat over a volcano and America would be dragged into war.
