ROOT VISITS HARDING
ON LEAGUE COVENANT
Would Save Frame Work Of
-. League and Enter on
Safe Policy
(By United Press)

Marion, Dec. -. (By Raymond
Clapper. )-Pressure on President
elect Harding to save the frame work
of the League of Nations by offering
to enter it in a safeguarding policy,
increased today with the arrival here
Of Elihu Root, one of the most pow
erful figures in the republican party
and a staunch supporter of the le-
que.
Root plans to describe to Harding
the organization of the world court
under the auspices of the world court
which he participated few months
ago. lie is also expected to outline
to Harding the extent to which Eu-
lopcAn powers could be expected to
go in making concessions to Ameri-
can public opinion in striking out
Article x, in jurisdiction over i'm
migration and domestic problems.
William Hill, New York minister,
was also screduled to call.
Root is being strongly urged by
certain leaders of the party for Sec
rotary Of state Senator Harding,
however. has not displayed any lean
ing toward regarding Root so fav-
nrable as some Of his advisors would
desire and it is possible that the first
how-dOwn between Harding and his
so-called senatorial oligarchy may
come out Of this very detail.

DEATHS DECREASE AS
SEAL SALES INCREASE

Deaths from tuberculosis have de-
creased steadily in Minnesota each year
as funds raised by the sale Of Christ
mas Seals have increased, it was en-
phasized here today by local seal
workers as they urged generous buy
ing by the public of the penny health
stamps that the winning fight against
the deadly white plague can be con-
tinued."
The tuberculosis death rate has
dropped from 1865 per 100000 Of
population in 1911 to 94.3 per 1O0,-
900 in 1919, according to official fig
ures Of the State Board of Health
supplied to the Minnesota Public
Health association to aid in inform
ing the citizens Of Tie state of the
necessity for a successful 1920 Christ
mas Seal sale that the victorious fight
against preventable disease may be
waged another year. Lack of funds
endangers the citizens of every COM
munity, health experts declare, be-
cause the work of prevention and
treatment cannot be continued I'M
abated without adequate financial
support from the public.
Last year the tuberculosis death
rate was the lowest in Minnesota in
twenty years. The total number Of
deaths was the lowest in ten years,
although the states population in
creased nearly $4,000 during that
period. And Christmas Seal Sale
receipts last year totaled $4,000
the largest in the history of the
state.

Washington, Dec. 13.-An agree
ment between England, Japan and
the United States to limit the naval

Secretary Daniels, was the keynote OF
an interview which newspaper men
had with him recently. Daniels said
he would indorse an understanding

credit to business men in Europe
and help European industries to
get started again the sooner con-
ditions will improve everywhere
and the sooner prices will decline.
There are people over here. as
there are in America. who say
prices will not drop until wages
drop. Others say there will be no
change until taxes are decreased :;
others think prices must come down
first and then everything else will
drop. For my own part, am in
favor of continuing the present
high wages, high prices and high
taxes until increased production and
betterment of conditions themselves
bring down prices, wages and
taxes. You cannot change one
without changing the other
IF you were in my business you
would know that in preparing a
casting for a machine you must
first cut off the rough exterior, then
cut down the bumps, then take off
the rough edge, then smooth on the
lathe and then the casting Is sent to
the polishing room. You cannot do
all these things by one operation
any more than you can lower prices,
III.
Confidence" said Mr.. Vauclain,
"is the basis of progress. and the
first thing of all that is needed by
all nations is more confidence in
their own abilities. Some OF thess
countries are worried by financial
conditions, others by labor condi-
tions. others by politics, but all of
those things will adjust themselves
when industry begins to hum, and
IL American business men individu-
ally can assist European industries
individually, by extending credit
and showing confidence there will
be no doubt about the outcome"
Looking at Europe as a whole,
II asked. do you feel that the
worst days of reconstruction have
passed, or do you think there are
darker days ahead?" e.
There isn't any doubt that the
crisis has passed." Mr.. vauclain' re-
piled. IF you see a man trying to
roll a log up hill and give him a
Kick he will go down, but IL you
help him move the log up he will
reach the top and never forget your
Kindness. Europe is rolling a log
up hill now, and 1 think with help
she is going to get it to the top"

do you think these countries are
going Bolshevist?" o. ..
NO" was Mr.. Vauclain's em-
phatis reply. The people worry
to much about what the Bolshe-
visits are going to do and not enough
about what they are going to do
about Bolshevism. believe in
Gen. Grants policy of not thinking
OF how much you fear the enemy,
but OF how much the enemy must
fear you. Bolshevism is dying down
and dying out and the less there is
said about it the less 1t will be a
factor in present conditions.
Il do not worry about labor or
labor problems. Any business man
who does what he should do to
work with his employees win never
have to worry about labor. Labor
is entitled TO living and to happi-i
ness the same as is any business
man. and II labor would do what 1t
should do without trying to run
his business. and if the business
men would stop telling labor what
labor should do there would be no
labor problem"
