HARDING WOULD
GIVE SENATE VOICE
Can Give Better Counsel On Foreign
Relations Than Political Bosses
Would End Autocracy.

MARION, O., Aug. 2O.-Reafiirming
his faith in party sponsorship in gov
ernment," Senator Harding said in a
speech here yesterday that his Demo-
cratic critics were entirely correct in
surprising that if elected president he
would permit the senate to have some
say in determining the policy of the
government.
'eThe senate saved American nation
alitv in 1919 and l920,7 said the Repub-
lean nominee. when the executive pro-
posed to surrender it. If a Republican
administration is chosen next Novem-
Der, you can be very certain that the
senate will have something to say about
the foreign relations, as the constitution
lcontemplates. / had rather have, the
counsel of the senate than all the politi-
cal bosses in any party.
Il want to have done with personal
government in this country. | want to
put an end to autocracy, which has been
reared in the name of democracy.
There isn't very much choice between
vcnomous assault on the integrity of the
courts and the momentary elamor about
feiiininating the Senate from the respon
lsibility in federal government. | do not
from the peace council at Paris, OF
whether it is a reflex of the mob mental
ity which has broken out in revolution
in various places IN Europe"
Explaining in detail his conception Of
party sponsorship, Senator Harding said
it meant a government of laws rather
than of men," in which the executive
legislative and judicial branches should
function within their own constitutional
limitations"
The senator also referred to the senate
| filibuster last year which blocked sew
eral big appropriation bills in the last
days of the Democratic congress, and
said that while he did not approve at the
time, the development had saved about
a billion dollars by putting the supply
measures over into the Republican con
gress succeeding.

BENSON SAYS SHIP
LAW WILL Be RIGID

"The United States Shipping Board
rs determined to live up to the letter
Of the Jones merchant marine law in
spite Of threats and propaganda car
ried on by foreign interests seeking to
defeat the purpose OF this law" Ad-
miral Benson, chairman OF the Ship
ping Board, declared today before
the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
Chairman Benson declareds that
foreign shipping interests, particu-
larly those operating from the Pa
cihc coast. have conducted propa-
ganda against section 20 of the Jones
act In the hope or deceiving COM
mercial organizations and shippers
into open opposition to the provisions
OF this section.
The usual method employed" he
stated, "is to threaten that unless
section 2S Is repealed, these foreign
carriers will divert their shipping
operations from American ports on
the Pacific either to Vancouver, d.
c., or to ports OF the Atlantic or tho
Gluf; plan which, IL successful
would only serve to congest Atlantic
and Gulf ports and denude Pacific
ports of commercial export move
ment."
Section 2s, Chairman Benson said,
will not be enforced until there is
adequate American tonnage to handle
all business offered.
"In harmony with such requirement,
IL section % were enforced with re-
gard TO Far East movements, the
board would supply any deficiencies In
American tonnage In operation from
Pacific ports, In order that the move

ports shall In no manner be re-

"The trouble began when news was

challenge. Ex-soldiers attacked one
man from South Staffordshire regi-
ment, whom the Sim Fein volunteers
