to the exact kind Of an association
which should be established. Mr..
Hughes now is studying the proposals
of the President-elect as outlined by
him at their recent conference in Marion.
According to the fairly definite in
formation which has come to the NEW
YORK HERALD Senator Harding has in
formed Mr.. Hughes that he would like
to have him consider entering the Cabi-
net. The tender has not been formal, It
Is said, and there has even been no hint
as to the exact position which the Presi-
dent-elect had in mind for the one time
Republican nominee. 1t was generally
understood in the Capitol to-day that
the place was more likely to be Secre-
tary of State than anything else. al
though the possibility of Mr. Harding
wanting Mr.. Hughes for Attorney-Gen-
eral was not overlooked.
AS Secretary of State Mr.. Hughes
would have direct charge of the work
ing out of the international programme,
but as Acknowledgement he also would
be q factor In the deliberations, giving
opinions from time to time as to the
constitutional limitations under which
the United States could act. 1t would
be essential, both Mr.. Harding and Mr..
Hughes agreed. that they should be in
accord on the form of the proposed as
ISOLATION OF nations.
Mr.. Hughes has had some definite
ideas as to such an association, his

relating to a world court to which the

ONE WIFE FOR CITY MAN,
TWO FOR FARMER, is PLEA
Colorado Governor Urged to Obtain Law, to Raise
More Boys for Farm Work, and Become
Greater Than Lincoln.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
DENVER. Dec. 22.-One wife for each
man in the cities, two for each man on
the farms-this is what George Smith,
a Colorado farmer. suggests to Gov.
Shoup as a solution OF the farm prob
lem, in a letter received at the Gov
ernor's office.
Adoption of the suggestion, Smith
believes, will make Gov. Shoup a
greater man than Lincoln, but the
Governor has not decided whether he
will include Smiths suggestion in his
message to the, Legislature as one OF
the proposed measures for the relief OF
the Colorado farmer. Smith gives q
number of reasons in support of his
suggestion. Here is what he has to
say:
IT am farmer seven miles south OF
Denver. My wife is sick and I can't
hire any house help. You are a good
Governor. or the people wouldn't have
elected you by such a large majority

some good help for farmers, and ]

not In It's present form, but shorn of its
Objectionable features.
1t has been the thought of Senator
Harding, according to the understand
ing here, that the United States should
not go that far, that an association
should be formed but that the League OF
Nations should be dropped and an en-
tirely new structure organized.
In regard to reports from Washington
that the post of Secretary of State In
the Cabinet of President Harding had
been offered to him and that he had
been to the capital to. discuss the mat
ter with friends In the Senate. Charles

Governors IL you can get It made a
law.
at is, let the city men have one wife
and the farmers have two wives. You
see, one could help the other. and a
farmer could more surely raise boys to
work the farm and not need to hire at
high wages. Then the farmers could
sell crops cheap and make money. and
living in cities would be cheaper, and
many young men would leave cities to
be on farm and have two wives.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-William ].
Bryan, who visited President-elect
Harding at Marion recently, conferred.
to-day with Senator Borah of Idaho,
a leader among Republican opponents
Of the League of Nations.
The purpose OF Mr.. Bryan's visit
here, it was stated reliably. was to
discuss possibilities of procuring an
agreement or reaching some common
ground in the movement toward a con-
cord for maintenance of world peace
From what could be learned OF his
conference with Senator Borah it was
said the views Of Mr.. Bryan and the
Idaho Senator both were unchanged.
1t was indicated that Senator Borah
remained implacable toward any ar
rangement involving any international
alliance.
Significance was given Mr.. Bryans
call upon Senator Borah because of the
formers very recent talk with Senator
Harding and the former Cabinet
premier's expressions, after his Marion
visit. of hopefulness for a solution Of
the world peace problem. Senator
Borah also discussed the subject with
Senator Harding for an hour during
the latter's stopover here early this
month.
"A judicial league is no more feasible
than a political league" was the state
ment to-day of Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, prominent Democratic "irrecon-
cilabie," who had long talk with Sem
ator Harding last week.
ut Is the accepted rule" said Senator
Reed that no Judge shall sit In any
case in which he has any interest: also
that the litiGants themselves should not
participate in the judgment.
Take the case of the Panama Canal
tolls question If submitted to an inter-
national court the American Justice
would be bound under the accepted prac-
tice to retire. IL Great Britain raised
the question of tolls 1t might be that the
british Justice also would retire, but
this would leave settlement OF the ques-
ton to Judges representing nations
which would have interests Identical
with Great Britain's in seeing that
American vessels should not nave free
tolls through the canal.
Senator Reeds statement was adj
yanced to illustrate trials facing actual
development and drafting of agreements
for world court plan.
In connection with the Panama tolls
question some OF those who have con-
ferred with Senator Harding recently
and returned here believe one OF tne
lrst acts of the new Administration will
be TO restore the free toll provision for
American shipping.
