on the plan for an association of nations
by a long talk with Charles f. Hughes
in which the whole question of American
relations with Europe was surveyed in de-

Afterward neither would reveal whether
any conclusions were reached, Mr.. Hard

and Mr. Hughes saying that important
questions of foreign policy had been con,
sidered in the light Of changing world
conditions He added that the solution
would undoubtedly be found IN harmony
with the campaign utterances of the Presi.
dent-elect.
The fact that Mr.. Hughes was the first
Republican leader to be summoned into
consultation by the president-elect re-
vived runners that he WAS being consid.
cred for secretary of state. There was nc
authority evident to support this report
however, during his visit here

tend to let the breeders of the middle

boosting the breed interests and work
ing for the improvement of the dairy in
