HARDING SEES
PERIL TO u. s.
WITH COVENANT
League Plan Will Set Up Super
Government, Ohio Senate
Declares.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-"The
League of Nations venture, in the
form in which the covenant has been
negotiated, is one of peril to the re.
public. To accept it unaltered would
be a peril to America" Senator War.
rem G. Harding, of Ohio, Republican
a member of the Foreign Relations
committee, declared In a speech in
the Senate Thursday.
1t is my deliberate conviction" he
said, that the League Of Nations
covenant as negotiated at Paris and
signed at Versailles, either sets up a
supergovernment of the nations which
enter it, or it will prove to be the
most colossal disappointment of the
ages. Though it would be vastly more
serious as the former, can not be
lfeve this Republic ought to sanction
it in either case.
Does 1t effect disarmament? The
member nations decide for themselves
the necessary size of their armed
forces, which are not to be increased
except with the Leagues approval.
Britain Retains Power.
Who has heard of a proposed dimi
mutton of the great British navy, which
keeps Great Britain undisputed mis-
tress of the worlds seas? Few will
question Great Britain's wisdom ir
her well known attitude. Surely nc
British subject will question it, She
has an empire to defend and a com
merce to guard. without which Eng
lands glory Is at an end
Only a few days ago the cable
news told us that France would main
tain a larger army than that republic
possessed when she entered the World
war. Doubtless Frances security de
mands It. in spite Of the negotiated
allianc0 which calls the United States
and Great Britain to her aid in case
Of renewed German assault. We
know little about Japan, but we know
that Japan may settle her own Hmi
tations as to army and navy, taking
into account geographical conditions
and national safety, until under the
treaty we give give our sons and oul
resources to the enforcement of inter
national agreements by common &C
ito under Articles VIII or X
rs disarmament as hope realized
Look for an instant at home. With
the league confidently expected, with
all its blessings of peace, limited only
by Interpretations we are contem
plating an army of half a million
seven times our previous establish
ment in peace, and the men, in con
gresS or out, who would cut our pro
gram for an expanded navy are few
and far between. More, the man who
would suggest 1t would be unmindfu
of our security"
