Gratified at Reception

Before beginning his address from
the Vice President s rostrum, Senator
Harding, holding his eyeglasses and a
copy of his prepared address in his
hand. gave a brief eXtcmporancous
statement of qualification over his re
ception. He said it afforded him ian
opportunity to say to you rather in
formally some of the things that ! want
to say that ] could probably utter in
no other way"
After Senator Iarding's address the
Senate adjourned without transacting
any business to await communication
from President Wilson.
Senator Harding was givena round
of applause as he entered the Senate
chamber just before noon. Speeta ors
rose al lover the galleries to obtain n
better view of the President elect, who
entered from the Republican clOdkro1m
with Senator Lodge. Mr.. Harding was
surrounded Immediately by IL crowd of
senator's, who shook his hand and
clapped him upon the back The Prcsi-
dent elect welcomed his admirers with
d broad smile,

opinion seemed to be that all amend
ments should be dealt with in the same
manner, the Canadian delegation would
not insist upOn immediate consideration
OF its proposition.
The report Of the committee on rela-
tons between the council and assembly,
presented by A. J. Balfour, of Great
Britain, provoked long discussion,
in which Lord Robert Cecil. speaking
for tho delegation of the Union of South
Africa. came into conflict for the first
time in full session of the assembly
with the British delegation.
Lord Robert objected to the limita-
tion upon the competence Of the assem-
bly,, recommended by the committee. He
said this would prevent the assembly
from considering such important ques
tionS as DISARMAMENT and mandates.
The South African delegation, he said,
was unable to accept the report with
out notifications.
poStpOncmcnt of consideration of
amendments to the covenant of the
League of Nations until the next meet
ing Of the assembly means that it will
leave them to be brought up at the
next gathering of the body in Geneva.
This will be sometime in 1921. In
the debates last week A. j. Balfour
mentioned September 1, next, as the
date for the meeting, but the impression
has been that this was tentative.

in Forming Cabinet

Continued from PAGE One
the Senate. And their remaining in II
strengthens the legislative branch In
its relations with the executive.
On the great question of the treaty
and the League of Nations the Presi-
dent elect will find that the Republican
majority in the Senate has already de-
cided views. Those views may coincide
closely with Harding's own, though II
Is probable that the new President has
not definitely made up his mind on the
treaty and the league. He said re-
peatedly in the campaign that no one
man was wise enough to plan the asso-
citation of nations and that he would
wnit for a conference Of Republicans
and Democrats, men and women, the
best minds in America, before adopting
n policy.
He will find that the Republican ma
jority has not waited for that confer
ence. 1t has made up its mind. It Is
rather definitely for new association
of nations, in which, If any parts Of
the present league appear, they will
appear under changed name and much
altered in substance and form. IL likes
the Hague Tribunal for starting point
for an international association. II
wants q court and recodifcation of
international law and not much more
of a constructive sort. IL would reject
the Versailles treaty outright.
Senate Has Ambitions
The foreign relations committee Of
the Senate has the ambition to make
the foreign policy of the United States.
especially as il relates to the treaty and
the league. 1t is natural ambition
Senate committees have had that ambi-
ton before and often realized it. And
quite naturally there goes with this
ambition not Only the desire to hold the
strong members Of the Senate together,
as shown in the announced intentions
Of Senators Lodge, Knox and New al
ready referred to, but also a reluctance
to see President Harding surrounded by
too big cabinet. This reluctance may
not be entirely conscious, but it is
only human.
Mr.. Root as secretary of state would
make the foreign policy Of the United
States. The Senate would be mere
consulting and approving body. Mr..
Knox almost as much as Mr.. Root
would have his own mind on foreign
relations. SO would OK Justice Hughes,
who. besides, does not work well with
the politicians. Mr.. Hoover, il one
INDUCES in the unlikely notion that he
might be chief of the cabinet, would be
highly Independent secretary. It is
human nature that the Senate leaders
would prefer another secretary Of state
than any Of these.

Prior to going to the Capitol Mr..
Harding had conference with Re :
publican Senate leaders, when de =
cision was reached that he should speak.
The President elect reached tht
Capitol shortly after II O'Clock, and
before calling at in sown office went
to that of Senator Lodge, where they
remained in conference for several min :
utes. Mr.. Lodge, with Senators New,
of Indiana, and Fall, of New Mexico.

Harding Unknown Factor

In all that the Senate is doing, it
is reckoning without its host. Mr.
Harding has not been on the scene. No
one pretcnds to know what his inten.
tions are in regard to cabinet. Nc
one pretends to know what his mind is
with regard to the treaty and the
league. He has the job of making u
success of his administration, and this
involves more than merely harmonious
relations with the Senate.
