"A possibility that the League Of Ma

to permit Senator Harding, II elected.

vised pact, was seen here today in a
statement by Leon Bourgeois. presi-
dent of the League council, declaring
that article 10 is not considered vi

Harding has never turned his back
entirely on the League OF Nations
idea. although he Is unreservedly

NJ. Bourgeoise is supposed here TO
have taken his cue from Harding's
declaration at Rochester, N. ", that
he will never as president send to the

the whole question might appear in a
new light. What Harding win do in
