WORLD COURT
IS DISCUSSED
BY PRESIDENT
Harding Renews Plea for
American Adherence to
International Court.
(Continued p-rom ra&e One.)
would consent to such change said:
"Submit terms which we consider
essential to the preservation of our
nationality. This is not an net of
discourtesy and It is the only fair,
square and honorable thing a groat
self-respecting nation can do."
The President said the crux of
thc«o conditions was “making a
World Court precisely what the
name implies.”
He asked: "Can it (be possible that
despite the protestations to the con
trary this is not what some of our
siirter states at heart desire? Must
there be a tesit of sincerity abroad
• a well as at borne? There Is noth
ing to be accomplished in ambigu
ity. We want to know and the only
way to And out is to Inquire."
Praises Administration.
The President devoted practically
all of his address to the World
Court but briefly reviewed what had
been done by it he Administration in
getting (the "country back on the
right track" in domestic affairs. He
disclaimed wishing to make a parti
san report but said he took pride In
pointing out that unemployment had
‘*bcen banished," financial stability
restored, taxes lightened and great
economics effected. Harding de
clared that the World Court squared
with the principles enunciated by
Washington in his farewell address. I
saying Washington recognized the
value of international arbitration
and declared "it was with the same
purpose in mind that I now do advo
cate participation of the United
States in a permanent Court of In
ternational Jurtice.”
Court Requirements.
President Harding said the two
Indispensable requirements were,
one, that the tribunal be beyond
the shadow of a doubt a World
Court and not a League court; two,
that the United States be on n
plane of perfect equality with all
of the other powers. He recalled
that the country had an opportunity
in 1920 indicating a desire to join
the League of Nations and “most
emphatically refused” and would re
fuse again no less decisively todry."
1920 Election Reviewed.
The President reviewed the elec
tion of 1920 and said:
"The paramount iasiln was boldly
and defiantly advanced In an un
mistakable term by the Democratic
Party and espoused by the Demo
cratic candidate for President.'’
Tito speaker declared that what
ever other consideration than the
League may have influened 18,000,
000 voters were purely incidental.
Cheers greeted the first reference
to the World Court the applause
Hollowed the statement that the
country would refuse again as de
cisively as before to enter the
League.
The President said: “In face of
the overwhelming verdict in 1920
, the issue of the l^eague of Nations
is as dead as slavery.”
President Harding voiced the "en
hanced regard" for this country for
G-reat Britain because of "sturdy as
sumption" of the financial obligation
to the United States.
The President spoke of the good
•will for Mexico and expreesed hope
of early resumption of relations
with that country.
President Harding expressed hope
that Germany, Turkey, and Mexico
would accompany the United States
Into the World Court.
The address was made in the
Coliseum where Woodrow Wilson
was nominated for the second term
for the Presidency.

EASTERN MONEY
INTERESTED AT
SITKA, CLAIMED
Sawmill Man and Timber
Paper Development.
Possible development of water pow
er and timber resources In the vic
inity of Sitka is forecast for the not
distant future by L. L. Simpson, en
gineer. sawmill man and scout who
has been here several days after an
investigation trip to Sitka and the
immediate district. Included in the
development, if it carried out on the
lines laid down by him. will be a
200-ton paper mill manufacturing
its own pulp, a sawmill with a daily
capacity of 50,000 feet and a box
factory of 1,000 to 1.500 boxes per
day capacity.
Apparently Mr. Simpson is not
personally interested in the paper
and pulp project but is acting as a
scout for some eastern concern. In
this connection • he said the paper
mill, if the deal went through, would
be erected by »/ Chicago concern,
the other enterprises being backed
by a New York firm with which he
is connected. He declined to divulge
the names of either of the concerns
said to be interested. He said, how
ever, that officials of both will come
north about July 15th., to investi
gate the proposed development
scheme, according,to present plans.
The paper manufacturing people
interested, he s»kl. is one of the
oldest In the mtntvy and is operat
ing a number of mills in several
states at this time. Owing to the
scarcity of pulp for manufacturing
newsprint, he added, two of its mills
are now' Idle, and should it enter the
field, one of them may be moved to
Alaska.
"The sawmill will be in operation
by August 1. provided the Mills saw
mill in Sitka, is taken over, which
will depend on the decision of the
officials of the firm,” declared Mr.
Simpson. "The box factory will not
be started until later.
"At the present time this firm has
orders for clear spruce and Alaska
cedar for a period of five years.”
The paper mill will probably be
erected at Salmon Cove, known com
monly as Herring Bay. in Silver
Bay, a few miles from Sitka. This
location gives the best access to wa
ter power and timber. Mr. Simpson
said.
It is estimated that the mill can
not be ready for operation for at
least a year, as It will take this
time to complete business with the
government for timber and water
power concessions and to complete
the erection of the plant.
Mr. Simpson left Juneau this morn
ing on the steamer Princess Louise
for the States and expects to return
with the officials of the firms he is
representing here, next month.
Mr. Simpson has been in Alaska
since 1900, when he went to Nome.

ham Ray district from 1914 to 1918.
In 1918 he made a cruise In the Sitka
district and at that time was impress
ed with the possibilities for a paper
mill and sawmill there, he said.
During his stay here inquiries were
made by Mr. Simpson at local For-1
estry headquarters regarding water- j
power rights on Green Lake, Blue:
Lake and Bear Lake, on Barauof1
Island, according to M. L. Merritt.:
Assistant District Forester. No ap-;
I plication was made by him for either)
water power development permitk or
a timber leasing contract, It was
stated.
Mr. Merritt also said that he had
no Information regarding Mr. Simp
son's plans or with whom he Is as
sociated. Ample water power is
available at the sites mentioned for
the development outlined by Mr.
Simpson and the timber supply is
plentiful. The Forest Service, he
added, had no definite information')
on the proposed development pro
gram as outlined to a representative
of The Empire by Mr. Simpson.

YOUNG MAN IS
SWUNG TO HIS
DEATH ;MURDER
Youngest Prisoner Ever Ex
ecuted in California Pays
Penalty for Crime.
(Con fin lien prom rage Onp.)
served a term in the Alaibama re
foratory.
Judge Franklin J. Cole, of the;
Imperial County Superior Court, in
passing sentence on Campblel, said:
"This may seem severe punishment
to you, but the evidence showed
this to have been a most atrocious
murder. If your exeo^flon deters
others from committing similar i
crimes, it will be worth while to the!
people of ithis State.”
In regard to Davis, the court:
cald: “The law prohibiting the ex
ecution of a murderer of this sort!
merely because of his age is impro-1
per and should be repealed. The'
jury which tries a murderer is cer-j
tainly in better position to determine
the punishment for the crime than|
— —i II ■■ - ■
the Legislature. This was" a pity
tlcularly atrocious crime and It is
resrctttaSble that this defendant can
not be compelled to share the pen
ality the law require# of the up*
complice, Campbell. This care should
be cited to the Legislature and per
haps it would aid In modifying the
law concerning hanging."
Governor Friend Richardson marie
an early move to block any plan, for
executive clemency for Campbell
when he raid on April 14 that the
"aob sisters of California will oijljr
be wasting their time and energjr"
1n imploring him to save the life
of Lawrence Campbell. The gov
ernor said he not only is an advo
cate of capital punishment, but 'he
believes that "every woman in the
State should work for its enforce
ment."
