WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (UP) The World Court Issue was tossed hy President Hoover today into the tangle of emergency business and tangled problems which have engulfed the short session. He sent to the senate today the revised project for American ad herence to the court.
“I trust," he said in a message, “the protocols may have consideration as Boon as possible after the emergency relief and appiopria tions legislation has been disposed of.”
Though a two-thirds majority is likely on a vote, chances of final action at (his session are regarded ud remote.
In thrusting the court Issue Into the senate's lap, President Hoover acted contrary to the advice of his own Republican senata leader, James E. Watson of Indiana, and other prominent Republicans, including some strong friends of the court.
But Mr. Hoover was under heavy pressure from peace organizations favoring the court. They demanded that he make at least a gesture concerning this project which has been dormant for many months. Presidents Harding and Coolidge sought to obtain the senate’s adherence but objections were encountered.
