Woman Democrat Says That World
Court Is Administration ‘Feeler’
Pes Moines, la., April 12.—That the
Harding administration is using the
international court as a ‘'feeler" of
publlo opinion with respect to the
league of nations was the contention
today by Mrs. Emily Newell Blair,
vice chairman of the democratic com
mittee, who is here to speak at the
fourth annual convention of the
National League of Women Voters.
The question In the minds of tl#
last night on the international court,
and Judge Florence E. Allen’s plea
that war be declared outlawed by all
nations, discussion Is rife among the
leaders of the nation who are meeting
here. Opinion is divided as to the
worth of Mr. Hoover's suggestions
Feel Court Futile.
There is a general feeling that the
International court plan is not going
far enough, that some association
with definite power to legislate would
be potent and that an international
court would be futile as no nation
would present Itself, df its fre will
to budge. ,
In an interview Mr. Hoover ad
mitted that there are questions of ,
political differences between nations
which are not Judicable.
Tl\e questions in the minds of the
women gathered here resolves Itself
into “what good, then. Is the court
going tq be if it has no power?"
