Association plan praised by Watson in prelude to Hague court note
Senator Watson met President Harding to discuss the coming Congress agenda including tariff, merchant marine, and a proposed association of nations. Administration sources suggest a voluntary, nonbinding pact leading toward an international court of justice may emerge from the arms talks, with U S participation deemed essential. Former Senator Sutherland frames the plan as distinct from a treaty and anchored in moral obligation rather than coercion. In New York, George H La Torts, tied to a stock fraud case, collapses en route to sentencing with 14 others.
