BORAH AND REED LEAD

Of World Court All
Armed to Teeth
WASHINGTON, March 19.
(United News) Two
unexpeciea
moves at Geneva suddenly have
stirred Washington out of Its Indif
ference and .given It direct rea
sons for closest attention to the
League ot Nations situation.
One was the action of the league
council In ordering the prepara
tory arms commission, in which the
United States Is to Bit, to meet May
17. The other was the decision to
call a council of world court sig
natories September 1 to consider
the senate' reservations. The
United States was Invited to at
tend this session.
The United States already has
been pessimistic over the league's
disarmament plans for some time,
so that tha other decision to hold
a session to consider the senate res
ervations monopolized attention
ihere.
Borah Opens l'p.
Instant criticism ot the league
council came from Chairman Borah
ot the senau foreign -relations nnw
mlttee, Senator Ileed of Missouri,
and Senator La Foleltto of Wlscon
sin. all anti-court senators..'
It was contended in the senate
that this was a world court and that
individual nations would hava to de
termine all questions, Borah said.
"But evidence Is rapidly sustain
lng the arguments of the opponents
hnth as to the league and the
court."
Senator Reed:
I
"We ought to have sense enough
now to pick up our rag dolls and
stay at home. It Is another illus
tration of the fact that we can't
be half in the league and half out
by Joining the world court."
Assnils Bitterly.
He elaborated these views in a
three-hour speech on tile floor an
assault that equalled in ferocity any
that the league has suffered ln
years past.
i Reed gathered up the anti
court speeches he has been making
recently and entertained the senate
with a two-hour distillation of them
ln his best style.
