HAS
IN
10 IGNORE LE
INVITATION F30M THAT BODY
RELATING TO WORLD COURT
DULY ACKNOWLEDGED.
OFFSETTING PUBLIC STORIES
Secretary Hughes Powerless to Deal
With League Because of Position
of President and Senate.
Washington. The United States
government is not intentionally ignor
ing communications from the league
of nations and has not failed to note
the, invita'.ion to this government to
become a member of the world court
of international justice,' created by the
league.
This attitude was made known at
the department of state, to offset the
public stories giving the impression
that the United States was somehow
offending the league of nations by re
fusing to, deal with its letters and com
munications, in the first place, the
permanent secretary of the league has
been sending out printed circulars to
various governments of the w orld and
it was but natural that one of the gov
ernment bureaus filed the circulara
without regarding them ih the same
light as formal communications.
But what Xhe secretary of the league
of nations hasn't evidently taken into
consideration is that while all commu
nications are duly received and filed
Secretary Hughes is powerless to deal
wfth the league because of the ex
pressed desire of the President of the
United States that America stay out
of the league and the evident con
currence of the senate in that view
point. Central American Assembly.
